Therapists in Lacey, WA

I am forever inspired by the resilience, innate wisdom, and healing capacity of the individuals, couples, and families with whom I work. My role in the therapy process is to facilitate the achievement of target objectives and to foster insight and skills to improve the experience of living now and into the future. With an educational background in marriage and family therapy, and specialty training in Sex Therapy, Sexuality Education, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (attachment theory), Emotion Freedom Technique, and Eden Energy Medicine, I work across cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and energetic dimensions to achieve solid, long-term results.

Transition is a natural part of life whether a transition from high school to college, getting married or divorced, or changing careers. Both positive and negative transition can bring stress into the family. I work with Adults & Children 7 years and above. As a military combat veteran, I have interacted with cultures around the globe. Assisting active military, veterans, and their families is a passion of mine. Conversely, I have great experience in settings where the average client has not had military experience. I take a direct approach when working with people where you meeting your goals is the focus for the sessions.

Greetings! I am Stephanie, a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to guiding individuals, couples, and families toward a desired different future. I am physically in Washington, and available virtually for Tennessee and Kentucky. I use a unique approach that blends the art of body work and the Family Systems Theory, offering a comprehensive therapeutic experience. I believe in comfortability and the power of laughter and positivity while working through difficult topics, so I strive to create a welcoming and laid back environment.

Anyone who truly wants help with their mental health or daily living problems. I have had the privilege of working with people of multiple cultures, races, and ages. I have been licensed in 5 states. This has given me exposure to many cultures and regions. As a result, I tend to get along with most clients. I work with brief problems in daily living to issues that include complex medical issues/trauma. I connect with moth people. I work with both adults and relationships. I don't expect people to change their "personality". I strive to help people find what works best for them, not what works for me.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.

I believe in being culturally aware of the different experiences we all go through in work, school, relationships, or other areas in life. My therapitic style is authentic, resourceful, and strengths-based.

I approach counseling as a collaborative alliance between client and therapist. I aim to assist clients in better understanding themselves in the context of their family histories and current relationships. Moreover, it is important to address the contribution of ones' cultural background, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, experiences of oppression, family history, socioeconomic status, and professional culture (e.g.: tech sector and social media). Once this has been achieved, I help clients make substantive changes and work to remove negative patterns.

Maybe you have an unexplained fear or sadness and you do not know why? Maybe you do know why, but that hasn’t helped you. Maybe you feel stressed and overwhelmed in your relationship(s) (wife, husband, partner, son, daughter, friend, or coworker). Maybe someone you loved has broken it off with you. Maybe someone dear to you has died. Maybe someone has hurt you. I know I have had such experiences. They are part of life. What you, I, or anyone else must do is to be able to live with it in spite of our hardships. This is where I come in. You do not have to go through hardship alone. We were never meant to.

Now accepting new couples! Are you too familiar with feelings like hurt, isolation, or helplessness? If so, you know these can zap the life out of you and your partner, not to mention your relationship. I believe all these feelings can arise from one common enemy, disconnection. Whether that disconnection arose from stress, conflict, infidelity, a diagnosis, or from simply feeling "off," disconnection makes it harder for us to thrive under life’s stressors, let alone build the relationship we want.

Getting to the heart of intense emotions and changing the status quo can be frightening. Yet, so is the idea of remaining in a place that is no longer sustainable. You know it’s time to stop trying to fill that void with what is no longer working. It can be very difficult to step out of expectations and into your authentic self. The decision to seek professional therapy and create movement in your life says you are ready. Anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors and negative relationship patterns can become so overwhelming that we feel distrust in everything, especially ourselves.

I offer land-based therapy. This work entails an embodied experience of healing through a collaboration with nature and myself. I believe wholeheartedly that our wellness is interwoven with the health of our environment and remembering we are also nature. My office is outdoors, on land being stewarded to enhance the prairie ecosystem and support sustainable food practices. A typical session will include mindfulness practices to regulate the nervous system, activity that supports a relationship not just with self, but also connecting to land, typically through gardening and other land stewarding practices.

All I care about is that the people I work with are sincerely looking for some kind of change. It's my responsibility to help that happen.

I am apart of Girasol Counseling. It is a Latine, women, and queer owned group practice. At Girasol Counseling we are committed to the work of de-stigmatization and decolonization of mental health that advocates for collective healing practices grounded in liberation, culture, and spirituality. We believe that everyone has the inner capacity for healing ignited through self discovery and community. Our role as therapists is to facilitate healing and support your journey in homecoming to your essential self/your tribe/community of trust/sagna.

I work with children ages 5-15, couples, families and individuals from a family systems perspective to address any myriad of concerns. I work collaboratively with my clients, to facilitate a client-led course of treatment based on their own strengths. If you want to strengthen relationships, identify and track potentially harmful behavior or thought patterns, and overall improve and progress in your life and circumstances, I am here to help you do that!
