Serving The Yampa Valley since 2008

Steven Walls, LPC is a licensed professional counselor with over two decades of experience helping individuals work through anxiety, panic, anger, trauma, and emotional shutdown. He specializes in trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR, and takes a direct, practical approach to helping clients understand what is happening in their nervous system and how to create real change.

Steven is the author of Out of the Darkness, a trauma recovery guide built from both professional experience and personal insight. His work focuses on helping people move out of survival mode and into stability, clarity, and direction.



Out of the Darkness is a trauma recovery guide designed to help people understand why they feel stuck — and what to do about it.

Instead of focusing only on symptoms, the book explains how anxiety, panic, anger, depression, and emotional shutdown are often rooted in the body’s survival responses. Through clear, practical insight, it helps readers understand how the nervous system works, how trauma is stored, and why certain patterns keep repeating.

This is not a book about quick fixes. It is a guide to understanding what is happening beneath the surface — and beginning the process of real, lasting change.
