Helping People Move Through The Steps and Challenges of Life We view life as a series of steps and experiences. Life experiences provide opportunities to grow and learn more about ourselves and others. We have dedicated ourselves to helping people explore and discover new meaning, awareness, growth, and balance in their lives. It is with this thought and dedication of helping people that we named ourselves "Life Steps". Life Steps is a private practice established in 1992 by Joyce Kirkendall, MSW, LISW, DCSW and Karen Smith, MSW, LISW, ACSW. We offer counseling by Masters level Licensed Independent Social Workers, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors and Certified Chemical Independent Counselors. Life Steps also has a psychiatrist available onsite. Call today for more information. Dr. Haar is available for medical needs as well.
