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 
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.

Education, Training and Experience

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and received my Master of Arts from Lewis and Clark School of Education and Counseling with an emphasis on intersectionality and inclusivity. I have additional training in International Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience helping to relieve depression and anxiety, interpersonal communication, phase of life problems, adjustment issues, trauma, psychosis, gender, sexuality issues, coping mechanisms and much more.

Approach

I have a systemic, multicultural and strength-based approach and collaboratively tailor the type of therapy to each individual client. I see a wide variety of clients ranging from children and teens to adults, couples and families and have a non-judgmental, accepting, and open-minded outlook.

Philosophy

I believe that therapy can be beneficial to everyone in a fundamental way for improving and maintaining mental health. I believe in a system-based society, meaning that we are all both affected by and affect our environment. Whether it is our family of origin, our neighborhood or the biological system we all live in, there is a never-ending connectivity between us and our surroundings. I look forward to working with you collaboratively to support you in achieving your goals, whatever they may be, helping you on your journey to contentment and positive communication with yourself and others.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with experience in working with youth and young adults. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I tailor to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. My practice is trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, collaboration, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey. 

I believe that everything in life is about finding balance. Therapy, to me, is about working towards the balance of mental and emotional health. We are all human, and life is unpredictable, which brings with it many stressors and causes mental distress. Therapy is a tool you can use to develop coping and positive relationship skills to support yourself in becoming a healthier version of yourself. 

From an early age and throughout different stages of my life, I experienced trauma in various forms. The experiences that I had caused me to seek support for myself and later sparked a desire to help support others in the process of finding their balance of mental and emotional health. 

In 2007, I began volunteering with at-risk youth who were part of the child welfare system and exhibited behavioral issues. After doing this for a couple of years, I realized I was passionate about working with youth and others who had experienced trauma. In 2016, I went to school intending to work in social welfare and eventually clinical therapy practice. 

In 2019, I completed a year-long internship with King County Juvenile Court as a probation counselor. Since then, I have worked professionally with youth involved in our criminal justice and child welfare systems as an employee at Echo Glen Children’s Center and the Department of Child Welfare. Since beginning in therapy, I have worked with clients in offices and provided in-school services to children, youth, and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, family conflict, as well as trauma and loss. I have a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Washington Tacoma. 

About my approach: My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based. I believe in empowering my clients to actively participate in their healing

journey. Together, we set achievable goals and work towards them using evidence-based techniques. My empathetic and non-judgmental demeanor allows clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, leading to deeper insights and lasting positive changes.

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.

Hello, my name is Karina Escamilla, M.Ed., LMHCA. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and a culturally sensitive approach. I earned my master’s degree in counseling and am dedicated to helping clients feel heard, empowered, and supported throughout their healing journey. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients can grow emotionally, mentally, and personally.

My journey into the mental health field began with a strong desire to help others work through difficult seasons of life and discover their inner strengths. Through my education and training in counseling, I have developed a foundation in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I value authenticity, empathy, and creating meaningful therapeutic connections that allow clients to feel comfortable and understood.

My counseling approach is collaborative, client-centered, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, strength-based therapy, and person-centered therapy to help clients build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and work toward meaningful goals. I am especially passionate about supporting diverse communities and helping clients build resilience and confidence in their everyday lives.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to work through life’s challenges alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and emotional wellness. If you are ready to begin creating positive change and investing in yourself, I encourage you to reach out today. Your path toward healing starts here.

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 Noor Daftani, MSW, LSWAIC, a Licensed Associate Social Worker in the state of Washington with a Master of Social Work degree and over 10 years of experience helping individuals work through life’s challenges and improve their mental well-being. I work with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals working through identity, life transitions, and the sense that something no longer feels aligned. Many of my clients are balancing careers, relationships, or cultural expectations while trying to make sense of who they are and how they want to live.

My approach integrates emotional insight with practical direction. Together, we unpack patterns, work through anxiety and stress, and build clarity around identity and life direction in a way that is both reflective and actionable. I work with adults facing a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, low self-esteem, stress, and life transitions.

My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I believe therapy is a partnership. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Together, we can build practical strategies, enhance self-understanding, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you on your journey.
