Couples therapy for the relationship you both want.

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!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Washington, with a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University.

Experience

I have provided a wide range of psychotherapy services to children, families, individuals, and couples over the past six years across diverse environments including, private practice, community mental health, medical facilities, public and private schools, early childhood education, and early intervention. I have worked with clients from all walks of life, ranging in experiences, cultural background and heritage, and personal identities. My therapeutic focus includes individual, dyadic and family sessions with infants to nine years old populations and their parents in supporting them, as they work through through life challenges together. I also provide dyadic sessions for parents, couples and families presenting relationship, communication, and related concerns. Clients I have worked with have experienced struggles with depression, perinatal/postpartum difficulties, anxiety, grief, trauma, adverse stress, relationship conflicts, life transition complications, and emotional, behavioral and developmental related concerns.

My Approach

My approach to the therapy is strength based, warm, inclusive, and collaborative. In my work with clients, I partner with them in determining goals to work on together, while using the strengths clients already have within themselves and in their existing relationships with others, as a catalyst for growth, healing, resilience, and transformation in a safe and empowering therapeutic environment. I am intentional in my approach to provide adult clients an opportunity through talk therapy to slow down from their busy schedules, to observe, reflect and discover newfound understandings and solutions for their presenting difficulties or concerns. For children and their parents, I use a combination of talk and play centered therapy as a means to see, hear and understand the child’s emotional experiences and potential needs underlying his or her behaviors. I am also intentional in my practice in offering additional space to parents for reflection and introspection to support their wellbeing as individuals, and within their roles as parents.  The theoretical orientations I use include an integrated approach using Child Parent Psychotherapy, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic, Experiential, Gottman Method, and Family Systems models of therapy. My therapeutic approach is also informed by Perinatal/Maternal Mental Health, Women’s Mental Health and Play Therapy modalities. The therapy I provide to clients is always driven and centered around their specific life circumstances, values, and culture with respect to their personal identities as we begin  our collaborative therapeutic work together. For each client that I partner with, the goal is  always to empower them and their respected relationships with improved quality of life,  and relationships with others to strive for a healthy and thriving future. 

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.

Hi! My name is Trent Landenberger, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) with a strong foundation in relational and systems-based care.

Background:

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Theology from Colorado Christian University and a Master of Science in Family Therapy, which together shape my holistic and values-informed approach to mental health. With experience counseling individuals, couples, and families, I am passionate about helping clients work through life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and hope.

Approach

My work is grounded in a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed therapeutic style. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences. I take a strengths-based and insight-oriented approach, helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that influence their lives.

I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. By tailoring treatment to each individual and family system, I support clients in developing effective coping strategies, reframing unhelpful narratives, and nurturing meaningful, lasting change.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and veterans, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and severe mental illness. I am particularly attentive to the ways personal history, relationships, and life circumstances intersect, and I aim to help clients move toward greater connection, stability, and well-being.

Closing

Driven by a genuine desire to support others, I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for each client’s unique story. It is an honor to partner with individuals and families as they work toward healing, growth, and more fulfilling lives

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) with a Masters degree in Marriage and  Family Therapy. I graduated from Antioch University, where I also earned a certificate in Sex Therapy. To  me, therapy is an incredible tool for healing, exploration, and liberation. I am specially trained in lending  a neutral ear as you work through new truths and find growth in old wounds. As a relationship therapy  specialist, I know that enriching connections to Self, Partners, Family, and Community are key to  achieving the high quality of life that you deserve. My role is to help you gain confidence, truth, and a  chance to re-write your life’s narrative. I work with individuals, people in relationships (couples, spouses,  polycules, etc.), and families of all kinds. I draw from a strengths-based humanistic approach that is  collaborative, flexible, and client-centered.  

My Approach:  

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and curious. I use empathetic listening skills with an  emphasis on exploring personal and relational meaning. With these tools, I can help you seek a fuller  understanding of yourself and your connections to the world.  

I am particularly excited to work with individuals and couples grappling with sex and intimacy issues,  gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem, and trauma. I fully support and affirm BIPOC,  LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, kink, BDSM, and other marginalized communities.  

Focus Areas:  

Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, body image issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, sex  therapy issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, spirituality  

Treatment Approaches:  

Treatment is shaped by the unique needs of each client. I clinically gravitate to the following modalities  and principles; Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Structural Family Therapy,  Internal Family Systems, The Wheel of Consent, Polyvagal Theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative  Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy 

I am a dedicated therapist who provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and experiences. I structure therapy sessions to help you work through life’s challenges, build resilience, and develop coping strategies to live a fulfilling life.  I seek to empower individuals one session at a time. I provide tailored guidance and support to help you overcome challenges, set achievable goals, and cultivate a positive mindset. 

I offer therapy services for individuals, couples, and families. I see clients aged 8-years-old and up.

Background

While serving as a public-school teacher for several years, I was touched by the lives I interacted with regarding children, their parents, and families. I loved my role as a public-school teacher; yet, while teaching, I discovered that I also enjoyed counseling.  During my time as a teacher, I had a part-time job as a behavioral assistant for a community-based agency.  Although I was not a therapist at that time, I realized that my work involved having conversations with families about how they could enhance their lives. Therefore, I completed a master’s degree in professional counseling with an Emphasis in Trauma.

One of my main goals is striving to create a life in which I have peace and happiness in the midst of any circumstance. Although every day is not perfect, I try to make the best out of every situation. I embrace the things that make me happy such as drawing closer in my relationship with God, spending time with family, exercising, reading books and articles, journaling, painting, sewing, swimming, biking, and cooking. I also love to have quiet moments to create a space for self-reflection and improvement.

Approach

Through specialized training and ongoing professional development, I stay updated with the latest therapeutic techniques and evidence-based practices. 

My approach to clinical therapy is a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My holistic approach integrates various therapeutic modalities to address the interconnected aspects of an individual’s well-being. I combine evidence-based practices with a compassionate and non-judgmental attitude.

I have a Christian faith perspective; yet religiosity and spirituality will only be discussed at the level with which you request and wish to include it in therapy.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsatisfied is a feeling that a lot of people experience. Sometimes, life circumstances can bury our strength to overcome what we are facing. Buried strength makes it appear that there is no hope and potential to prevail. Choose counseling services with me so you can find your inner strength to bloom.

Are you ready to gain self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal transformation? 

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) in Washington State. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families working through life’s challenges – whether that’s relationship stress, anxiety, depression, major transitions, or the quiet feeling that something in life just isn’t working the way it used to. My goal is to offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood as you explore what’s been weighing on you and begin creating meaningful change.

My Background

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about people and the ways we connect, heal, and grow. I earned my Master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Clinical and Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. My professional experience has included supporting clients across the lifespan – helping teens manage identity and school-related stress, adults move through anxiety and life transitions, and couples improve communication and connection.

My Approach

Therapy with me is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in compassion. My foundation is person-centered therapy, which means I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to help you access your inner wisdom, build clarity, and find tools that support you in living with greater authenticity and ease.

I integrate evidence-informed modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts, mindfulness, and Polyvagal Theory. Together, we’ll explore patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop practical ways to support resilience and connection.

What to Expect

I believe true healing happens when we feel deeply understood. In our work together, I aim to help you feel more grounded and centered, and to guide you toward a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, you don’t have to go through it alone. It takes courage to begin, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellbeing.

My name is Cornelia, but you can call me Connie.

I was born and raised mainly in Seattle, WA, but my love for adventure and travel developed through spending every summer of my childhood in a small town in Germany. I grew up in a bilingual, multicultural home, where I learned to work through the complexity of having a parent who had to learn to assimilate to American culture.

 After traveling and living abroad for several years, I moved back to Seattle and completed my Bachelor’s at the University of Washington. During that time, I also began working as an addiction specialist in downtown Seattle, supporting clients who were struggling with complex trauma and substance use. This work allowed me to reflect on how I can support and advocate for my clients when addressing the systemic structures that create disparities and barriers for them on numerous levels.

In 2020, I earned my Masters in Arts from the University of WA, specializing in Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology. I interned at the Seattle Children’s Hospital ADHD Psychiatry Clinic. I have since been working as a therapist with families, adolescents, and adults in the community as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (MC61048933/Pending Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC LH61305026).

I live in Seattle with my partner and my two young children. My role as a community-based provider has allowed me to work with clients across age ranges, experiences, and diagnoses. I am passionate about promoting social
justice and equity and carry these values into my client relationship. I am currently accepting new clients and provide psychotherapy specializing in evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, and complex trauma, as well as parenting support for adolescents and adults.
