Stephanie Mustopich, LMFT
Pronouns: she/they
It takes courage to walk the path of your truest self. I believe that you already have within you what you need to be the person you are seeking. However, I also recognize that the world around us often restricts, oppresses, and/or harms these inherent strengths. Relationships and experiences with family, friends, significant others, culture, community, and our socio-political context affect our relationship with ourselves. When these relationships aren’t working, we experience suffering, distress, anxiety, depression, and pain. In our therapeutic relationship, I can help you find your way to wholeness, congruence, strength, safety and fulfillment within yourself.
My approach...
My approach to therapy is grounded in queer-affirmative and social justice lenses. I see myself as a guide along your unique journey; I trust that you know who you are and where you need to go. My style tends to be directive, with a bit of humor.
Life is hard and if we aren’t crying, I believe laughing can offer that release we need. I want to offer ideas, skills, and support in clarifying your next steps and solutions. I integrate learning and practicing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills and Internal Family Systems (IFS) skills in our work together. I also value boundary setting, self compassion, mindfulness and working through codependency.
Professional training & memberships...
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and supervisor in the state of Washington, credential #LF60791690. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin. I went on to obtain my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family therapy from Antioch University New England.
I am a certified DBT therapist and have led DBT skills groups for both adolescents and adults. I also resonate deeply with injured and protective parts within us and have seen transformations with my clients with the use of Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am committed to ongoing self-work around anti-oppression and critically conscious practices. I am also a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
