About Dan Stephens: Christian Counselor and Clinical Supervisor
Who writes this site, what it argues, and how the writing is made.
Dan Stephens, MA, LMHC/LPC, CSAT.
I am a Christian Counselor who helps individuals and couples overcome pornography addiction, sex addiction, infidelity, and betrayal trauma. If you’re a resident of Arizona, Washington, or Oregon, and you’re ready to start your recovery, book your free discovery call.
I also provide clinical supervision and consultation for clinicians working with their own clients to overcome these challenges. If you’re an associate-level clinician in Arizona and in need of supervision or consultation, book your free consultation.
Both calls are booked through the scheduling system at Restored Life Counseling.
Personally, I am a Christian, husband, father, amateur theologian, business and real estate nerd, and AI enthusiast.
I write in two places, and the split is simple. Clinical guides, and anything written for the people I serve in my counseling specialties, go to Restored Life Counseling. The more academic work lives here, along with my writing about AI and how I use it to run my businesses.
What this site is for
This site is where I write, and what I write about here is psychology. The claim underneath all of it is short:
Psychology did not begin with Freud. God and His people have always cared about psychology. Robust psychology touches, and is touched by, nearly every other profession, field of study, and trade.
That is the argument the essays work out, one piece at a time. Everything published here is free to read, and it stays that way.
Nothing on this site is clinical advice, and reading it does not make anyone my client. If you want counseling, click here for a consultation.
How the writing is made
These essays are written with AI as a cognitive exoskeleton. I design the argument, decide what is true, edit and verify. The machine drafts. The full account, including the quality gate every source has to pass and the rule that a book I have only skimmed is never presented as a book I have read, is on the method page.
Two shorter pages follow from it. The Shelf lists the books cited on this site. The Workshop lists the tools the site is actually made with.
