Let The Light In Therapy

Welcome to Let The Light In Therapy

My name is Anna Lacey, and I'm here to help. Trauma casts a dark shadow over life, limiting what we see and how we interpret what we experience. I have worked in the mental health arena for my entire adult life. I grew up in a distressed family system, and it was necessary for me to create a path to healing in order to have a life worth living. I lost a sister to mental illness, so I know firsthand how important it is to address trauma and addiction as well as to create healthy relationships. Nothing is more important to me than passing on what I have learned. I was previously the Clinical Director of a Mental Health Clinic in Sonoma, California.

If you feel stuck in patterns of shame, overwhelm, or emotional intensity, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you.

Many of the struggles you’re experiencing make sense in the context of what you’ve lived through.

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced complex trauma, including:

• chronic emotional invalidation

• attachment wounds

• anxiety, insomnia, or nervous system dysregulation

• patterns of self-criticism or self-sabotage

My approach integrates:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• trauma-informed therapy

• mindfulness and self-compassion

• DBT-informed tools for emotional regulation

Together, we’ll work to understand your internal system, build safety from the inside out, and create lasting change.

Healing Through Therapy

Supporting individuals and couples in overcoming mental health symptoms, addiction, and interpersonal challenges with compassion. Please see the "Services" tab for a more thorough understanding of my methodology.

Couples Therapy

Specialized therapy for couples. I am here to help you learn to hear each other and be heard. Individuals in relationships can at times find themselves in a place where they do not feel they are on the same team anymore. My methods support improvements with effective communication and an improved ability to feel connection.

Trauma-Informed Care for Individuals

Specialized therapy for people from dysfunctional families. I am here to support a decrease in shame and an increase in self-empowerment. Individuals who are brought up in families that were lacking in nurturing and/or frequently lacking in support can often experience challenges with addiction, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and a lack of self worth in adulthood.
