Getting to know Thesla Lander
Are you going through a difficult transition, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or struggling in your relationships? You don’t have to face it alone. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate emotional challenges, life changes, trauma, and relationship issues. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s going on beneath the surface and take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative, meaning your goals, values, and experiences guide our work together. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Whether you’re working to manage intrusive thoughts, increase self-compassion, process painful experiences, or improve your communication in relationships, I’ll tailor our sessions to fit your unique needs.
Therapy can be a powerful tool for change, and I’m here to walk with you through it. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would love to connect with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you are heard, respected, and supported. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership, we’ll explore your concerns together at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is person-centered, meaning I’ll always meet you where you are, honoring your values, goals, and unique life experiences. I blend evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build insight, manage difficult emotions, and create meaningful change. Whether you’re looking to process the past, manage current stressors, or build healthier relationships, we’ll work together to develop tools and strategies that fit you.
Above all, therapy with me is a space where you can show up as your full self, no pressure, no judgment, just honest support and a commitment to your growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, I’ll spend time getting to know you, your background, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you’d like to get out of our work together. We’ll collaboratively identify goals and begin exploring patterns, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be impacting your well-being.
A typical session is a mix of reflection, insight-building, and practical skill development. I may offer tools from approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help you manage distress, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience. I’ll also encourage open, honest conversations, therapy is your space, and your voice matters.
Throughout our work, I check in regularly to make sure the process feels helpful and aligned with your needs. My goal is to support you in making meaningful progress, at a pace that feels manageable and empowering.
