Supporting people as they create lasting change, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist working in Olympia, Washington. I hold a Master’s Degree in Family Therapy from Antioch University, a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services from Western Washington University and a certificate in addictions counseling.

Specifically, I am interested in contributing my voice to the prevention of eating disorders and work to support individuals as they combat their self-defeating thoughts, identify effective coping strategies, and begin utilizing their voice. I have led numerous support groups and have spent time doing presentations for various populations in the Olympia and Seattle areas. Currently, I co-facilitates a FREE eating disorders support group in the Olympia area. During the nine years I have been working in the field, my enthusiasm and experience has influenced the lives of many individuals, parents and families affected by eating disorders and dangerous dieting behaviors.

Outside of working with individuals and families combating the disordered eating mindset, I also work with the Olympia Center for DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and co-facilitate DBT groups focused on Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Combined with these things, I provided “Mental Toughness” consultation for Black Hills Gymnastics and assist athletes with their mental focus, achievement of set goals and ability to self-sooth in challenging circumstances.

I look forward to meeting you,
Stacy Schilter, M.A., LMFT
