Real stories of redemption and hope.

"My husband and I first came to Dr. Shores 19 years ago. I had gone through burnout with bouts of panic, depression and physical symptoms associated with stress. Because of Dr. Shores’ excellent training, wisdom & guidance, I am today a stronger woman, physically, mentally and spiritually. I have returned a few times over the years since our initial visits, after trying to sort through some issues by myself. Each time he has helped more than I can express and always with fewer sessions than anticipated. I have given out Dr. Shore’s phone number to no less that 10 people over the years, and each one has come back to say thank you. For all these reasons, I feel confident to highly recommend Dr. Steve Shores."

"I have known Doctor Steve Shores as a colleague and friend for almost twenty years.  He is one of the most well known, trusted and effective counselors in the Unifour area.

Serving in Hickory as a Family Physician, I frequently have patients who have emotional and psychological needs.  Through experience I know that I can trust Doctor Shores to provide compassionate and professional counseling services to both individuals and families in need and distress.  Through his  gentle demeanor and excellent training,  my patients feel  that he is both approachable and competent to provide viable solutions to their problems. After spending some time with Steve, you know you have been heard and understood, and everyone needs that."
