Stephen Thornton
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Healing trauma, rebuilding self-trust, and creating lasting change.
Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns, relationships, or emotional struggles no matter how hard you try to move forward? Many people come to therapy carrying the effects of past trauma, chronic anxiety, painful relationship experiences, abandonment, or years of putting others' needs ahead of their own. I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process focused on identifying root causes, resolving emotional wounds, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I integrate narrative, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and family systems approaches. I am a seasoned practitioner of EMDR and an advanced practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), both gold-standard treatments for trauma and PTSD. With couples, I use Gottman-informed therapy to improve communication, deepen connection, and repair trust.
My practice is affirming, LGBTQIA+ supportive, and sex-positive. I work with adults and couples of all genders throughout the lifespan, teens, and children (6+ with family involvement). I offer in-person and telehealth sessions Monday–Thursday. Couples therapy is out-of-pocket payment only. If you're ready to take the next step, please reach out.
