Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I found ours by googling a step family counselor in our area.
Good luck!
referral is always the best
referral is always the best route. picking out from the yellow pages is a disaster.
does your or your husband's employer offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)? Those are usually a great source for reputable referrals AND tehy will usually ensure they match you with someone who takes yoru insurance. You usally will get a few sessions for free (no-copays).
