— Elizabeth Harding, LMFT in Petaluma, CA provides compassionate, trauma-informed therapy grounded in Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method to help individuals and couples manage anxiety, navigate relationships with greater ease, and create lasting emotional change.
Therapy with Elizabeth Harding is a deeply relational, trauma-informed process designed to help clients understand the patterns that keep them stuck and begin building new ways of relating to themselves and the people around them. Whether someone is struggling with persistent anxiety, working through communication challenges with a partner, or trying to make sense of how past experiences shape current relational dynamics, Elizabeth offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard. As a dedicated therapist in Petaluma, CA, she works with each individual and couple’s unique history, attachment style, and goals to create a path forward rooted in emotional safety and self-understanding.
Elizabeth’s clinical approach is primarily informed by Attachment Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS), complemented by Gottman Level 1 training. This combination allows her to help clients explore the deeper emotional needs beneath anxious thoughts and relational conflict, recognize how earlier experiences influence present-day reactions, and develop healthier ways of connecting with themselves and others. Her trauma-informed lens ensures that each person’s history is honored throughout the therapeutic process, creating space for genuine vulnerability and meaningful repair.
“Change, whether in your personal life or relationships, can feel overwhelming, even when you know it’s necessary,” said Elizabeth Harding, LMFT. “You don’t have to navigate it alone. In therapy, we work together to help you build stronger relationships, increase self-esteem, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. A lot of healing happens through connection with others and with yourself.”

Her practice serves both individuals and couples facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety and depression, relationship conflict and communication difficulties, life transitions that strain emotional wellbeing, healing shame and rebuilding self-esteem, and the painful pursue-withdraw dynamics that can leave people feeling isolated and misunderstood. Elizabeth is an LGBTQIA+ ally and gender-affirming therapist, welcoming individuals and people in relationships of any configuration.
Clients who engage in therapy with Elizabeth Harding often experience reduced anxiety, improved communication, a deeper sense of emotional safety, and a restored ability to be vulnerable with themselves and the people closest to them.
