Therapy shaped around your story.
Every person arrives with different experiences, strengths, and hopes for change. Guiding Waters offers a peaceful, supportive place to understand what has shaped you and discover a path forward that feels genuinely your own.
Meet your therapist
Hello, I’m Lacy Posselt.
Licensed Professional Counselor focused on individual therapy and EMDR-informed care
Life guides us in many directions, and I knew from a young age that I wanted to help others. Growing up around many different family dynamics, lifestyles, and communication styles sparked a lasting curiosity about people and the stories that shape how we see ourselves and the world.
I value learning, exploration, and the restorative energy of nature. Music, art, and animals are also meaningful parts of my life. Those interests reflect the warmth, curiosity, and whole-person perspective I bring to counseling.

Why Guiding Waters
A practice created to make room for an individual path.
Before opening Guiding Waters in 2020, I worked alongside young people, families, couples, and adults across school and county settings. Those experiences reinforced something I continue to believe: people make the most meaningful progress when they feel understood, respected, and involved in shaping their care.
I created Guiding Waters to offer a calm place for that work—a place where difficult experiences can be approached with honesty and care, where questions are welcome, and where therapy can adapt as a person’s needs and goals become clearer.
The Guiding Waters approach
A steady place to explore, heal, and grow.
You do not need to arrive with the perfect words or a complete plan. Therapy begins by meeting you where you are.
Listen first
Your experiences, questions, and priorities guide the conversation.
Personalize the path
Care is adapted to your needs instead of forcing you into a standard formula.
Support lasting change
Build insight and practical skills you can carry beyond the therapy room.
“Every person has a unique story that shapes how they see themselves and the world around them.”
Care at Guiding Waters is personalized to the individual.
