Anxiety care that treats your chest, sleep and shoulders, not just your thoughts.

Welcome 
Hi, I’m Stacy Lanier (she/they), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Washington and Texas. I specialize in helping individuals, teens, couples, and families work through life’s toughest moments, whether they are dealing with anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or strained communication.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a powerful step toward healing. I want to honor that courage. Therapy can be a place of transformation, but it doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I bring warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for your story into every session. Whether you’re neurodivergent, working through family transitions, or trying to rewrite the script of how you show up in relationships, I’m here for it, and I’m here for you.

Background 
Before I became a therapist, I spent years walking alongside people through grief, change, and growth as a caregiver, parent, advocate, and community leader. Those lived experiences, along with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and advanced training in EMDR and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, profoundly inform my work.

I have guided families through trauma recovery, identity shifts, and grief healing. I have created a supportive space for teens grappling with abandonment, for partners feeling trapped in old conflict patterns, and for individuals striving to reclaim their worth after years of self-doubt. My own journey has been shaped by movement across states, systems, and roles, and I understand what it is like to reimagine life in the face of change.

Approach

My therapy style is relational, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Therapy with me is tailored specifically for you. I integrate systemic thinking, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and various other modalities to help you explore the narratives and patterns that shape your life.

We might map your relationship cycles, externalize a negative self-belief, explore the roles different “parts” play inside you, or practice new communication strategies. You’ll find our sessions filled with metaphor, curiosity, a touch of humor, and an ongoing invitation to be your true self.

My areas of focus include:

• LGBTQ+ mental health and identity development.
• Parenting and supporting neurodivergent adolescents.
• Trauma and complicated grief.
• Attachment wounds and relational healing.
• Boundaries, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
• Family systems and attachment repair.
• Relationship difficulties and communication challenges.

Closing 
I believe therapy is a sacred space where insight, courage, and connection come together. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, or even just curious about what it might involve, I’d love to meet you right where you are.

Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection.
Whether you’re looking to understand yourself more deeply, mend a strained relationship, or start a new chapter in life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

About Me

I’m a licensed Associate Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University (2015) and over a decade of experience helping people work through personal and professional transitions. My career has been focused on coaching and talent development, but I found myself drawn to deeper, more meaningful conversations, the kind that support real healing and transformation.

During my clinical training, I completed my practicum at Valley Cities, where I worked with individuals facing severe trauma, systemic oppression, and complex socioeconomic challenges. That experience deeply shaped my understanding of resilience and affirmed my commitment to creating a safe, affirming space for people from all walks of life.

Therapy, for me, is a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and compassion. I believe you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been buried under pain or pressure, and support you as you move toward healing.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate parts work and plan to offer EMDR soon to help clients process trauma and reclaim their inner strength. Whether you prefer practical tools and structure or a slower, reflective space, I tailor sessions to meet your needs.

Above all, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can be real, messy parts and all. Healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and respected. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you understand your story and build a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and whole.

I offer in-person therapy in Washington state, as well as online and phone sessions for Washington residents. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious if therapy could help, I’d be honored to hold space for you.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood or like you’ve had to figure things out on your own. I believe healing happens in the context of a safe, authentic relationship, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and genuinely supported.

Background

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Puget Sound. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I have over 3 years of experience supporting clients and families who are working through trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and gender identity, as well as other concerns. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and strive to create a space where every person’s story is heard and valued.

I’m passionate about making therapy feel approachable and accessible, especially for anyone who may feel unsure or hesitant about reaching out. I also bring my love of art, creativity, and nature into my work, helping clients explore their strengths, build confidence, and reconnect with themselves in ways that feel meaningful.

Approach 

My work is grounded in a person-centered, relational approach, which means I see you as the expert in your own life and we work together to understand your experiences and goals. I take a trauma-informed approach and draw on evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ERP (for OCD), and EMDR. I also incorporate mindfulness and creative tools when helpful, tailoring therapy to fit your needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

You don’t have to work through things alone. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I’m here to support you in making sense of your experiences and moving toward the life you want. Reaching out is the first step, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Welcome

Most people think you’re doing fine. You show up, get through your day, and carry everything quietly. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together.

I see you. And you don’t have to do this alone.Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

But therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an act of courage. It is a space where you can finally exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel grounded, supported, and understood again.

Background:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches.

My path into this work comes from a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe that everyone carries a story, and within that story is resilience, strength, and the capacity for change.

As both a therapist and trauma-informed yoga instructor, I bring a mind-body perspective into my work, recognizing that healing is not just cognitive, but also emotional, physical, and nervous system-based.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, while also being honest and supportive. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including EMDR, somatic and body-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

I specialize in working with individuals working through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, women’s issues, and life transitions. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, build self-trust, develop healthier coping patterns, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong, worthy, and empowered.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and strength, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. Let’s begin that journey together

Welcome, my name is Aaron. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) in Washington. I’m also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

My experience is primarily with adults, though I am also interested in working with teens. I specialize in trauma, including PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, and substance use disorders.

My Background

I moved from Michigan to Washington in 2017. While in Michigan, I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Michigan State University and completed my Master’s degree in counseling at University of Phoenix. Since moving to Washington, I have been enjoying hiking the beautiful trails and soaking up all Washington has to offer.

Clinical Experience

I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient mental health, substance use, detoxification, and hospitalization. I have been licensed and practicing counseling since 2014 and have familiarity working with a wide range of clients, including those that are involved in the criminal justice system.

Approach

The primary framework of my counseling approach relies on Choice Theory and Reality Therapy. This is an empowering, humanistic approach that aids clients in focusing their energy and their efforts into fulfilling pursuits. I also use elements of other therapeutic styles, as appropriate, which may include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist Theory, Family System Theory, and Gestalt therapy.

I also don’t expect you to necessarily know what any of those terms mean. I believe that my primary responsibility in counseling is to help you understand and learn about what is happening in your mind, and how to manage those symptoms so that you can find, or return to, a meaningful and satisfying life. Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Abigail, but you can call me Abbie. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I accept individuals 12+ years of age in person and over telehealth. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, life adjustment issues, behavioral issues, relationship issues, grief, and trauma. 

Background and Experience 

I was born and raised in the Southside suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Governors State University. I have worked with diverse populations, seeing individuals, couples, and families struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, marital problems, bipolar disorder, life adjustment issues, and difficulties with emotional regulation. 

My Approach & Philosophy

What drew me to pursue counseling from a young age was my therapist helping me finally find a voice that I didn’t even know I had. My therapeutic approach is to empower my clients to find their voice while providing them with a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space. I believe that the client is the expert on their own life. I will always create a collaborative relationship with my clients and do my best to be as genuine and transparent as possible. 

The theories I work from are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Theory. However, I always think it’s best to meet the clients where they are, so I will pull interventions and work from other theories as needed. Treatment for mental health issues is never “one size fits all.” Like I said, I want to have a collaborative relationship with my clients, so if you feel like something isn’t working or I’m not meeting your needs, tell me! I’d be happy to change my approach to meet your needs and make therapy more effective for you. 

I also understand that creating a therapeutic relationship with someone you don’t know can be very intimidating. That’s why, along with being compassionate and nonjudgmental, I will also be genuine and bring a sense of humor. Regardless of our roles as therapist and client, we are still people, and I always want you to feel like you’re talking to a real person. 

In my free time you can find me obsessing over Taylor Swift, watching TV shows/movies that make me laugh and cry, and going out for bubble tea with my friends. 

I look forward to working with you!

Maybe your relationship has become a source of stress and anxiety. You’re walking on eggshells, afraid of another conflict. Simple conversations escalate quickly, and you want to communicate better, but you don’t know how. Or perhaps you’ve lost touch with the person you used to be, the one with energy, interests, and passions. Anxiety and trauma are running your life, and you’re unsure how to regain control. You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, family conflicts, parenting challenges, trauma, or personal difficulties, you deserve support.

I practice Solution-Focused therapy and incorporate elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. Together, we can identify and harness these resources to create a more fulfilling, meaningful life aligned with who you are when you are at your best.

For PTSD, trauma-related distress, and phobias, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy, a highly effective, non-intrusive technique that helps reprocess traumatic memories through guided imagery, without requiring you to relive or disclose painful experiences. This method can provide relief in just a few sessions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Culture, identity, and spirituality can be important aspects of a person’s life, and I will always strive to welcome a person’s full self. My practice is sensitive to religious, spiritual, and cultural diversity, and I am LGBTQ+ friendly. 

As your therapist, I aim to provide a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe to share openly without fear of judgment. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and respected.

Reaching out for help can feel daunting, but taking that first step is a courageous act of self-care. I look forward to meeting you!
