Steven Shields
Steven is passionate about helping others regain their freedom through processing trauma. When he started his own addiction recovery process, he had to heal his own traumas and wounds. In 2016, he started the UnashamedUnafraid nonprofit with a podcast to be a voice of hope, speaking personally about sexual addiction recovery. Now as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC), he works with others to help them experience the freedom of healing.
The process he loves most is leading group workshops. It is a powerful, life-changing experience. His core belief about the healing process is that it comes from within. Everyone already has what they need to heal. He is living proof that hope is possible for every heart no matter how big the trauma or how hopeless it seems.
