A.J. Conley, MS, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
(she/her/hers)
I work with women navigating major life transitions, including burnout, divorce, and the profound sense of change and uncertainty that can come with starting a new chapter. Together, we can create space to slow down that supports you in reconnecting with yourself, and begin building a life that feels meaningful—not simply one that looks successful from the outside. Our work together can help you understand the patterns that have kept you overextended, rebuild trust in your own voice, strengthen boundaries, and rediscover the parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside.
I specialize in working with women working first responder, medical, and male-dominated fields who are navigating the unique pressures of being successful in environments where they may feel they have to work harder, prove themselves, or constantly adapt. We can explore how to pursue your goals while staying connected to your values, relationships, boundaries, and sense of self while navigating high pressure environments and high performance related expectations.
My approach is somatic, compassionate, grounded, and relational. We look beyond thoughts and emotions to notice what’s happening in your body, including physical sensations, tension, and nervous system responses. This deeper awareness can help you feel more connected to yourself and create lasting change—not just understand it intellectually. By using a compassionate, somatic approach, I help you understand your body's signals, strengthen self-trust and boundaries, and create a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and authentically yours.
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Somatic Counseling. I am trained in integrated somatic counseling practices, trauma-informed counseling, EMDR, and narrative therapy. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was a first responder with over 13 years of volunteer and career experience in remote, rural, and urban areas of western Washington and southeast Alaska.
