Therapist in Bellevue WA | Elizabeth Bryant LMFTA | Flourishing Life Therapy

Hi there,

I’m Elizabeth Bryant. If you’re a person in mid-life or a couple navigating a long-term relationship, you’re in the right place. Many of my clients are navigating aging concerns, identity crises, or approaching milestones like menopause, empty nesting, or retirement. I work with couples who are seeking to revitalize their intimacy, create deeper connection, heal from trauma, or learn to communicate more effectively. I also specialize in working with women who are navigating reconnecting with themselves, or wanting to understand their identity in a new way.

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate (LMFTA) with a master’s degree (MS) in Marriage and Family Therapy. My work is trauma-informed, inclusive, and focused on equality and dignity for all—offering a compassionate environment where you can explore your story without judgment.

In therapy together, we will focus on understanding how your family patterns, cultural conditioning, life circumstances, and relationships have shaped your stories and your current experiences. My focus is to help you untangle old narratives so you can step confidently into new patterns of meaning, purpose, and connection. I use evidence-based interventions and a human-to-human connection that to make meaningful change as we relate to ourselves and others. After all, “we live in the shelter of each other”. — Irish Proverb

Faith Transition Therapy

Losing, or changing, long-held beliefs can be a swirling combination of devastating, exhilarating, terrifying, relieving, and confusing emotions. The beliefs we hold are pieces of us that can be disorienting to re-arrange. I support healing, connection, and repair for those who are amidst relational challenges that come with the transitions on the spectrum of commitment and involvement within their faith systems.
