Marriage Counseling Therapists in Spokane County, WA
As a Marriage and family therapist, I practice from an attachment lens.
Are you struggling in your relationship, constantly arguing, stuck in negative patterns that leave you and your partner living parallel lives? Do you feel stuck? Is depression and anxiety keeping you from living the life you want? Or maybe you’re struggling with your child’s behavior and big emotional meltdowns. You have tried everything and still feel like you’re failing. Relationships are the core of human experience. We are not designed to go through life alone. Therapy can provide you with support to learn, heal, grow, and make lasting changes for yourself and your most important relationships.

I have worked with a variety of clients over the years. I started with troubled and troubling teenagers for 13 years here in Washington state and in West Virginia. I became to work with adults with persistent chronic mental illness for over 8 years. I worked with military family members and their families for nearly 4 years. I often work with individuals with substance use, pornography, and marital issues in my current practice. In my current practice, I reflect values that universal to secular and Christian communities. My goal, as a clinician, I try to instill hope in individuals who get stuck in ruts of life.

Anxiety, depression, marital stress, family difficulties, and countless other obstacles can get in your way of flourishing.
Welcome! My name is Conner. I am passionate about stories, life being the greatest of them all. Sometimes along the way you feel stuck, trapped in a world that feels exhausting, confusing, even unbearable. These feelings may be new to you, whereby you find yourself in uncharted territory at a critical moment in time, unsure of what to do. Or perhaps you have found yourself in this position previously, wondering why these feelings keep resurfacing. The best part about this story of life is that what happens next has yet to be written.

Hi! I’m Ashley Sears, a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a passion for supporting individuals with complex developmental trauma. Trauma can hold us hostage to our past and I hope to provide a pathway to freedom in healing. Additionally, I believe strongly in helping both intimate and family relationships as these connections are often an anchor in life. Relationships don’t come with an instruction manual and can easily get thrown into chaos due to everyday life events. Thankfully, seeking support is the first step towards a new beginning.

Do you have a good enough marriage, but crave deeper intimacy and connection? Do you struggle as a couple to find the closeness you once shared? Has your relationship been impacted by betrayal, unwanted pornography use or infidelity? Do you feel overwhelmed by unresolved conflicts around money, household responsibilities, sex, or parenting?

I believe that hope, security, and intimacy can be restored to even the most ruptured relationships.
