Steph Sianko-Gundlach, MA, LADC, SUDP, LMHCA

My journey as a therapist began almost 14 years ago in Minnesota, where I supported individuals and families affected by addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. More recently, I opened my private practice in Washington and have enjoyed expanding my work to include trauma-informed and somatic therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to explore new ways of coping with everyday life challenges, as well as the lasting effects of trauma and addiction. This work often includes understanding how past experiences continue to shape present-day patterns and coping. Change doesn’t require having everything figured out; it begins with honesty and willingness. I work collaboratively with clients to explore challenges, understand patterns, and increase self-awareness. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work and is grounded in curiosity. My integrative, client-centered approach draws from CBT, DBT, IFS, mindfulness, and somatic therapies to support emotional regulation and insight. Because finding the right therapist is an important part of the process, I offer a 15-minute consultation where you can get to know me, ask questions, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.
