“Stephen is a compassionate, experienced professional with excellent communication and relationship building skills. He was able to get through to our teenage son at a very difficult time in his life. He provided us with much needed support and essential resources to help us better understand the emotional difficulties our son was experiencing. His kind and supportive nature was invaluable to us as parents and I would highly recommend his services.”

Stephen Bradley is a much respected and admired therapist, with a specialty in family and couples therapy. I’m the Director at Northampton Sex Therapy Associates, LLC and we have referred many clients to Stephen’s practice over the last couple of years and they all speak highly of him and his effectiveness as a clinician. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

“After my separation and subsequent divorce, I wanted and felt like I needed a male therapist.  Stephen is a wonderful listener and thoughtful partner in this process of understanding connection, attachment, resistance, fear, and strength.  Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable, extremely relatable, and empathetic. He moves with me through some hard moments. Stephen helps me hold it together, walks with me when I fall apart, and laughs with me in between.”

Stephen Bradley is the go-to person if your child and family are in need of support. His strength-based approach and solid knowledge of the leading evidence-informed models in the field of child and family therapy make him by far, one of the most skilled, compassionate and talented family therapists in the Pioneer Valley and New England.  He is that rare therapist who is simultaneously sharp and sensitive, seasoned and acts from a place of utmost integrity. I can give no higher recommendation to anyone. I refer clients to him without hesitation and only wish there were more professionals in the region of his caliber.

“Other therapists turned us down for services because our family structure and presenting issues were ‘too complex,’ but Stephen rose to the challenge. Stephen’s practice is more than just fifty minutes in an office; he is willing to work with whole families in order to put the child’s needs in context and to best tailor his approach to each child’s unique situation. His work is trauma-informed, comprehensive, and systematic; he is as interested in the impact of trauma on a child’s neuropsychological development as he is in the effect of the child’s family structure on how she relates to the adults in her life. He is open to feedback and always willing to try new strategies if something doesn’t work.”

Stephen is one of my trusted colleagues in the Northampton area. He is a family systems and couples therapist that I would, and do, send anyone that I can to see. He is an incredible source of peer supervision and an amazing clinician.

Stephen is a rare kind of therapist, and — as the third that I tried — clearly had a different level of engagement to offer, as well as an expertise that I only appreciated more as time went on. He brings his uncommonly genuine care, dedication to being there with you, and clinical astuteness to every minute of every session.

He now teaches practice and family therapy courses in my program. I admire his dedication, breadth of theoretical understanding, depth of clinical knowledge and experience, awareness of social and cultural issues and commitment to helping clients. He is not only an excellent therapist but has taught and trained many students who have gone on to be strong clinical practitioners.
