Joan Lanning

Hi there, I'm Joan!

Therapy is a partnership, so I establish safety and comfortable communication quickly. Gathering individual and family histories increases comfort while providing important information for identifying your goals and needs. My focus areas include mood disorders, relationship and communication problems, and trauma.

My focus

I work with adults navigating depression and anxiety, family system issues, relationship problems, and trauma-related disorders. My experience spans military families, foster care systems, and trauma survivors. I'm most comfortable treating mood and anxiety disorders, communication challenges, and helping you process difficult life events.

My approach

I believe most people are competent. With self-knowledge and therapeutic tools, you can problem solve and live as you desire. My approach respects your abilities and helps you access them while developing new skills. I customize treatment plans utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR.
