Mrs. Gretchen Stockman

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | MA, LMFT

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) providing counseling and therapeutic intervention from a Biblical perspective. My office is located in Lakewood, Washington. I am trained to work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and groups. Although I work with depression, anxiety, and a wide variety of life challenges, my specialties are marital counseling, parent-child estrangement, domestic abuse, overeating / binge eating disorders, substance abuse and process addictions, blended families, trauma, and spiritual development. I have a certificate in EMDR (for trauma). My focus areas are motivated from life experiences that I have dealt with personally or in relationship with a loved one, therefore I delight and derive an enormous sense of purpose in assisting those struggling with similar issues.

My goal is to help you learn about yourself, grow, and put together your own social, emotional, and spiritual health toolbox so you can overcome present challenges and any future problems encountered in life. I provide a safe and supportive space for you to unload and be who you really are right now, flaws and all. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and let someone into the most painful places in your life. I am patient and gentle, and will take as long as needed to build rapport and trust with you. We will walk this leg of your journey to wholeness together.

If you reside outside of Washington State or are looking for an alternative to using insurance, getting labeled with a diagnosis, and having your personal information potentially added to your permanent medical record, a better resource might be my other practice, Be Whole Health, Marriage & Life Coaching. At least twice a year I offer an online food abuse class/support group and plan to develop other classes in the future. Check out my website at https://livrite.com/bewholecoaching/
