About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. Currently practicing in Idaho focusing on mental health/behavioral challenges, but have also worked in Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana working with challenges related to mental health, behavioral health, addiction, relationships, personality disorders, culture, spirituality, rural life, and homelessness. Some of the therapies which I utilize is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.
I believe that healing and understanding occurs when there is a strong client-counselor relationship which is caring, non-judgmental, and focuses from the client's point of view. I believe in the resiliency of people and the importance of bringing to the surface internal strengths and values which individuals can use to empower themselves with the ability to move forward in their lives. I also focus on the power of connection, and how connecting, whether it be to relationships, spirituality, values, the present moment, nature, or ones-self, leads to healing and growth.

Stephen has helped me very much managing with my mental health issues in only 3 sessions
Stephen is a great listener, and very personable. He also provides great insight and asks very thought provoking questions. Highly recommend!
He is really so awesome! Listens and is always on time.
I can be myself when I talk with Stephen. He listens and is responsive and thoughtful. I appreciate knowing there is never judgement from him, and all of his insight has been beneficial for me.
Asks very good questions and helps me see things from a different perspective.
Stephen is wonderful! His genuine care and humor made each session enjoyable and worthwhile! We've recommended him to several family members and friends!
Stephen has been incredibly helpful in a myriad of ways, through separation, trauma and a whole host of changes. At the very, very least I always knew I had someone to talk to, who was safe, and who laughed at my jokes. He's been a godsend!
I think Stephen is easy to talk to and a good listener. I feel he has really helped me with my situation and learning to deal with it. He also suggests things you can focus on in between appointments to further assist you! Thank you for helping me.
Mr.Bunnell is very positive and knowledgeable.takes time to listen and asks questions that provoke thought and introspection.
Offers practical help and solutions
Stephen is an amazing therapist and is very encouraging and supportive.
Down to earth. Always listening with intent and ready to help try to dictate back his understanding of your problems to better target the problems. Thanks Stephen
Wonderful guy! Very easy to get to know and provides great insight as he gets to know me and my personal points of emphasis
Stephen is a caring, funny, understanding, and talented therapist. He knows how to ask the right questions to help you understand yourself and your situation better. He is good at reading people and knows when to be humorous or serious appropriately. I have really enjoyed my therapy with Stephen because it is easy to connect with him and feel like I am being heard and understood. He does a great job at helping you stretch yourself and your own understanding of who you are. Most importantly, I feel respected and valued when I meet with Stephen.
Great guy, very trusting
Stephen is great! He is very easy to talk to and has a talent for providing insightful perspectives.
Stephen has been a wonderful help ever since I chose to give BetterHelp a try. I can say I have no regrets with this service.
Stephen is very easy to talk to and he seemed to understand what I was trying to express. He very much focused on having me recognize the feelings I had and why. He made sure he understood what I wanted from therapy. I’m using my free sessions to shop around and he is definitely on the short list.
Stephen is amazing I would highly recommend!
