Couples Therapy in Seattle · Statewide WA Telehealth

I believe therapy should help you move forward. As a Solution-Focused Brief Therapist, I work with you to create meaningful change in the present while building the future you want. While there’s always room to explore the past when it offers insight or supports healing, our focus remains on what will help you move forward. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, build on what’s already working, and take practical, achievable steps toward the life and relationships you want. My goal is for you to leave each session with greater clarity, hope, and confidence in your ability to create meaningful change.

I work with individuals, couples, and families working through relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and major life transitions. When working with couples, I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and help partners reconnect in meaningful ways.

For PTSD and trauma-related distress, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy, a highly effective, non-intrusive approach that helps the brain process traumatic memories through guided imagery. This method doesn’t require you to relive or describe painful experiences in detail, and many people experience significant relief after just a few sessions.

Above all, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I value each person’s unique background and welcome conversations about culture, identity, and spirituality.

Reaching out for help takes courage. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your relationships, heal from trauma, work through life’s challenges, or simply feel more like yourself again, I’d be honored to support you as you create the life you want.

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 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 am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) in Washington State. I earned my Master’s degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University, where my graduate training focused on clinical psychology and marriage and family therapy.

My practice focuses on working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families. My work is centered on improving emotional and relational well-being, and I work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

I am often described as warm, personable, compassionate, and genuine. I take a person-centered, relational, and non-pathologizing approach to therapy because I believe you are much more than a diagnosis or the challenges that brought you here. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, feel genuinely heard, and feel supported as we work toward the changes that matter most to you.

In our work together, my priority is to understand you. Not just what you’re going through, but who you are as a person. I believe everyone has a story worth understanding, and while our life experiences may be different, we can often connect through the emotions that shape them. I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my approach to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. I also welcome feedback throughout the process to make sure our work together continues to feel helpful and aligned with your needs.

While my work is grounded in person-centered therapy, I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy depending on each client’s individual needs. I often help clients explore how early life experiences, relationships, and patterns from the past continue to influence the present. Together, we’ll build insight into those patterns while developing practical tools that support meaningful and lasting change.

If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love the opportunity to connect with you. I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi, I’m Aisha Javed, MACFT, LMFTA, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, and begin to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. I have five years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan. I offer evidence-based support for anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and relational difficulties, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.

I also have experience working with neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and selective mutism. I approach neurodiversity from a strengths-based, developmentally informed perspective, focusing on emotional regulation, communication, and building practical coping skills that support you, or your child, in everyday life.

My approach to therapy is systemic and collaborative. I believe our experiences are deeply shaped by our relationships, family systems, and cultural backgrounds. Because of this, I integrate a variety of modalities, including Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and elements of the Gottman Method and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to tailor the work to your unique needs. I also incorporate experiential techniques to help you move beyond just talking, so you can process emotions more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m especially passionate about working with individuals and families working through trauma, family conflict, identity, and the challenges of balancing multiple roles, particularly within multicultural and immigrant communities. As someone from an immigrant background, I understand how culture, expectations, and stigma can shape the way we experience and talk about mental health. That understanding deeply informs the way I show up in the therapy room, with curiosity, respect, and care for the full context of your story.

Outside of therapy, I’m a mom, a wife, and someone who deeply values connection and family. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle different roles while trying to take care of yourself. Creativity is an important part of who I am. I love drawing, designing, and finding ways to express emotions beyond words, and I often bring that openness and flexibility into my work with clients. In our work together, you can expect a warm, steady, and non-judgmental presence. I don’t approach therapy as “fixing” you. My work is about helping you reconnect with your strengths, understand your patterns, and build more fulfilling relationships with yourself and with others.

Hi, I’m Noelle Jones, BA, MSW, ACSW, LSWAIC. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families, helping people work through life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and practical support. My work is grounded in warmth and collaboration, and in creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and able to grow.

My style is conversational, supportive, and direct when you need it. I believe therapy should feel human rather than clinical or intimidating. Whether you are looking for support with anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, trauma, burnout, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm, therapy can be a place for clarity, healing, and meaningful change.

Many people come to therapy carrying stress, exhaustion, grief, or uncertainty while still trying to function in everyday life. Some have spent years putting everyone else first before realizing they deserve care too. Therapy should be a space where you do not have to pretend, over-explain, or minimize what you are going through. Together we identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build healthier coping skills, emotional awareness, communication tools, and confidence.

My background spans community mental health, behavioral health programs, developmental services, and clinical leadership, working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. As both a clinician and a mother, I understand how demanding life gets while balancing responsibilities, relationships, career, and your own wellbeing. I also support families of young children with developmental challenges, helping caregivers strengthen communication and connection at home.

My approach is warm, relational, and strengths-based, drawing on CBT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, family systems, attachment-based approaches, and person-centered therapy. Therapy is not about being “fixed.” It is about understanding yourself more deeply, learning new ways to cope, and building a life that fits your values.
