Getting to know Stephanie Washington

I am an MA, LCMHC, and founder of Integrative Lifestyle Counseling. With over 15 years of experience in trauma services, my passion is helping people heal from family and relationship trauma. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ community, but I also support individuals from all walks of life who are navigating the impact of past experiences, difficult relationships, and major life transitions. My approach Therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve had negative experiences in the past or you’re used to putting on a brave face for others. That’s why my approach is intentionally laid-back and conversational. Think of it less like sitting in a cold clinical office and more like having a thoughtful, supportive conversation with someone who’s trained to really listen and guide you. We’ll laugh at times, we’ll get serious at others, but at every step, you’ll know you’re in a judgment-free environment where you don’t have to censor yourself. I believe that healing happens best when you feel safe enough to show up as your full self, without pretense. When clients feel relaxed and comfortable, they’re more willing to explore the deeper emotions, patterns, and beliefs that hold them back. I integrate CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy to meet you where you are and help you build the tools you need to move forward. Whether you’re processing identity, rebuilding after family conflict, or simply wanting healthier relationships, I provide a space where you can grow, find balance, and create the life you deserve. My focus My clients are typically adults between the ages of 25 and 50. Many are navigating significant life transitions, the end of a relationship, shifts in career, changes in family dynamics, or exploring new aspects of identity. They come from diverse backgrounds, but what they share is a desire to feel more grounded, authentic, and at peace with themselves.
