Are you looking for a path forward?
Do you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to begin?
When life changes, it's natural to wonder who you are now—and what comes next.
I’m Elizabeth Bryant, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships and life transitions in Bellevue. I work with adults, couples, and families. I have a special interest in helping people navigate the transitions of life—including aging, divorce, adult children relationships, faith shifts, menopause, empty nesting, retirement, caregiving, and redefining identity during times of change.
Whether you're facing a relationship challenge, a major life transition, dealing with healing from a loss, or a growing sense that something no longer fits, my goal is that therapy can offer a place to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with intention.
How can therapy help?
Maybe you have struggled to independently think, feel, and want. Maybe your community, family, religious group, or society made it difficult to explore these things, and now you’re wondering why you feel so disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’re experiencing hopelessness, worry, a loss of interest in the things you once enjoyed—and wondering if it’s time to look inside yourself so you you can engage with your loved ones more authentically.
What is therapy with me like?
I came to this work with a belief that everyone deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support—and I’m a good fit for people who are ready to dive into deeper, reflective work on the patterns that shape their relationships. I’ve witnessed the impact of not taking accountability, and I’ve seen radical growth and healing that comes from making shifts rooted in self-responsibility, self-love and forgiveness, and connection.
I offer a therapeutic space in my cozy office in Bellevue, WA to learn the skills to achieve your goals. I hope that after therapy with me, you’ll know yourself more deeply and be able to hold that knowing with greater confidence, wisdom, connection to your values, and curiosity with others as you navigate the world.
Services Offered
(Therapy for Adults & Couples Navigating Midlife Transitions in Bellevue, WA)
Individual Therapy
$175 (50-minutes)
While our relationships shape much of who we are, healing often begins with a deep, intentional focus on knowing yourself. “Intimacy is knowing who you are and letting someone else in on the secret.” (David Schnarch) Whether you're seeking clarity, healing from your past, or wanting to grow, individual therapy provides the focused attention needed to help you thrive.
My approach with individuals is a depth-oriented collaboration. I invite my clients to explore their unique thoughts, feelings, and desires along with their body’s messages to explore the changes they want to make.
Couples Therapy
$200 (50-minutes)
If you're seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions, or deepen your connection, couples therapy offers a transformative space for growth. Together, we’ll explore the dynamics in your relationship, strengthen your bond, and create new patterns that support a more fulfilling partnership.
I use evidence-based approaches such as the Developmental Model, IFS, and narrative therapy in my collaborative work with couples. Relationship therapy requires a readiness for all partners to look inward, and I welcome the opportunity to be a part of that work.
Family Therapy
$200 (50-minutes)
Adult family therapy brings together two or more adults who share a deep, intimate connection—whether parents and adult children, siblings, or extended family members (including polycules and alternative relationship structures). We will explore the relationships and dynamics at play, creating a space for healing, understanding, and growth.
Family therapy is uniquely challenging and beautiful. Many of us have experienced pain from being unseen, misunderstood, or have roles placed upon us in our family systems that no longer serve us. Together, we can explore those patterns and make the changes towards healing.
