Janelle Stauffer, LCSW

Hello, I'm Janelle. Thanks for stopping by!

I really enjoy my career and the people who I get to meet because of it. I find great meaning in creating healing spaces and helping people of all ages connect and find the strength inside of them. What I have learned throughout my career is:

1) people are not "broken", though they often believe that when they first enter my office.

2) People heal amazingly when given a completely non-judgmental space to be freely themselves.

And,

3) There is always a pathway into healing, even if one feels as stuck as could possibly be. I love finding those pathways.

My therapy has a unique blend of EMDR Therapy, Internal Family System Therapy, Attachment Focused Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy & Somatic Psychotherapy. I am playful and calm and I bring all of that to my therapy sessions.

My mission is to create a safe and secure place for you to process the deeper elements of life and of living relationally. In therapy, your voice and your story matters, and I am grateful to be a part of your journey.

I am LGTBQIA+ affirming

I work with children and their parents, teens, & Adults

I am licensed in Idaho and Oregon

I Specialize In:

  • I specialize in trauma of all forms. I use trauma modalities including EMDR, Parts Work (IFS), Hypnotherapy & Somatic Psychotherapy to bring about change in both the brain and body.

  • I work with professionals who are experiencing burnout becuase of their close proximity to suffering. I work closely with first responders, medical professionals, teachers, and therapists who have found themselves depleted.

  • My work incorporates a deeper level of therapy where we get to know all the parts of the self and begin to welcome all parts that were impacted by past trauma or stress. This includes some deep work on healing sexual repression and trauma. This work is deeply rewarding and life changing.

  • I provide training and consultation to others working in the field. I teach about trauma, stress, attachment, and burnout.

  • I love bringing people together for healing experiences. Once a year I team up with a seasoned Yoga Instructor to offer a 3-day embodied treat in the beautiful Idaho mountains. In addition, I facilitate a 6 week group called “Making Sense of Your (Past)worth” which dives deeply into past stories and changes the way we see ourselves.

  • Psychedelics have been proven to help a myriad of issues, including trauma. Many people chose this path for healing. Janelle became trained through Psychedelics Today in 2020 and is able to provide preparation for a psychedelic journey and integration after one. She is not able to provide the psychedelic experience as it is not legal in Idaho.
