Rhonda Lanter, LMHCA, Gottman Trained

You are caring and strong, always the one who shows up for the people around you. Yet somewhere along the way, you've started carrying more than your share — grief that catches you off guard, a low hum of anxiety you can't seem to quiet, or a sadness that's slowly become your new normal.

You've pushed through hard things before, and part of you keeps trying to do that now. But lately, you feel more drained than you'd like to admit. Maybe a loss has changed everything you counted on, or the relationship that used to feel like home has grown distant and hard to reach. You find yourself going through the motions, quietly wondering if this is just how things are now. No one should have to stay stuck in that place.

Picture yourself feeling lighter, more present, and more like the person you actually are. Not a different version of you — just you, living a life that genuinely feels like yours again. That kind of change is real, and you don't have to find your way there alone.

I am passionate about supporting individuals like you as you navigate moments of overwhelm, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. With over 23 years of experience in education and a lifelong dedication to helping others, I have chosen to embark on a second career—one focused on guiding people through life’s hurdles so they can embrace and enjoy their best lives. 

I enjoy collaborative discussions with clients to support them in improving their success coping with tough emotions, strengthening communication with partners, and setting meaningful goals for their future. I am passionate about helping people find their way through seasons of change and the complex journey of getting to know themselves and their partners more deeply.

My goal is to offer a space that feels safe enough for you to slow down and explore your emotions without judgment. Meaningful growth happens in an environment of understanding and compassion, and I am committed to a therapeutic approach that celebrates your strengths and honors your unique story.

As an LGBTQ+ ally and affirming provider, I provide inclusive care that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of the human experience. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth!

JUST FOR FUN!

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy traveling to new places, interior decorating, and spending time in my flowerbed and garden. As an artist, I love spending time creating pottery and practicing photography. Most of all, I cherish time with my blended family. My wife Crystal and I are lovingly embracing the journey with our seven children, seven grandchildren, and two mischievous pets, Franklin and Twix!
