LaShanta Petroski-Ackley

I work with adults who are ready to address challenges such as trauma, conflict, communication issues, and discernment/relationship ending. I have over 15 years of experience working with military, veterans, and first responders and also specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, major life transitions, and relational/familial concerns. I tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of each client, using a blend of approaches including CBT, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method. I embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, and welcome individuals from all backgrounds.

I tailor therapy to each client’s needs, prioritizing honest communication and mutual accountability. I foster a collaborative environment, where both client and therapist are held responsible for the progress made. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices that empower lasting change.

I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, major life transitions (e.g., career, retirement), and relationship challenges. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method to help clients address their issues. My work with military, veterans, and first responders is particularly informed by practice.
