My name is Stacey Harlan (and I am a male Stacey!) I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a major focus on dealing with depression and anxiety. My approach to therapy is to strive to facilitate a positive, solution-oriented approach that focuses on cultivating psychological growth and progress.

Every client is uniquely different, experiencing or having experienced situations and circumstances that can hinder their daily functioning. But clients have shown resiliency, perseverance, and wisdom when they have a safe therapeutic setting to explore their strengths and core beliefs.

My view of the human condition stems from a Zen concept of "suffering" and "transience of life." I believe that suffering is an inescapable human condition and yet a basis for growth. We all go through the phrases where we feel lost, helpless, or defeated by life challenges erroneously believing suffering will never end. In these moments, therapy can help. As a therapist, I regard my role as a guide in your life journey just like the Sherpas for climbers in the Himalayas. The goal of therapy is to get mobilized, explore the meaning and purpose of your life, and eventually get back on track to pursue what you truly value in life.

Some of our greatest needs as human beings are to feel heard and understood. This is something that we all deserve, but unfortunately do not always experience.

I meet my clients where they are, and follow their lead so that they leave our sessions feeling like their most immediate needs and concerns were addressed.

“What is to give light must endure burning.” ― Victor Frankl. Everyone needs someone to hear them.
