It’s Nice
to meet you!

I’m Laney Bassham - a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #72941) who’s been helping adults since 2013, stuck in problematic coping patterns due to ongoing anxiety, grief, traumatic stress, burnout, and tough life transitions.

We often know what we do isn’t working, but we don’t understand why we keep doing what we do. My approach is to come alongside you, provide you with tools and education, offer encouragement during challenging times, and support you in facing what’s keeping you stuck in patterns of personal, occupational, and/or relational disengagement. My aim is to strengthen your resilience, shift distorted thoughts and toxic emotions, and help you embrace change with a fresh perspective, wisdom, and useful skills.

My professional skill development began in residential addiction treatment, where I worked with adults aged 20 to 65, including licensed professionals in recovery. I worked with individuals as they fully detoxed from harmful chemicals and processes, helping them learn about their problematic coping through addiction, and process the initial and accumulated trauma that kept them stuck in the dependency cycle. I led groups like Shame Resilience and received initial basic training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), a trauma treatment modality.

In 2017, I initially launched Summer Tree Therapy as a solo private practice in Denton, TX; transitioned to virtual in 2022; and have continued to learn from prominent leaders in the treatment of traumatic stress and related conditions. This change has allowed me to provide trauma informed care and support to clients across the state of Texas. My goal is to partner with you in your healing journey. My support focuses on assisting you through the ups and downs of the therapeutic process toward reaching your treatment goals.

Our aim is not perfection or toxic positivity, but healing and growth. You’ve been stuck long enough. Let’s get started!
