Welcome to the place where everything connects.
I'm Marshall McLean, a therapist in Spokane, Washington, and the founder of Heartland Marriage and Family Therapy. I chose the name 'Heartland' because I believe true healing begins when we find the place within us where everything connects—our mind, body, and spirit. My work is built on the values of connection and wholeness, with a mission to help you 'live from the heart.' In our sessions, you can expect warmth, compassion, and a non-judgmental space to explore your story, heal, and build the meaningful connections you deserve.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I specialize in the intricate dynamics of partnership and the unique pressures of leadership. My work with couples focuses on the pivotal transitions of post-childbirth, untangling patterns of codependency, and mastering the art of conflict resolution.
I am also deeply committed to supporting men through the complexities of sexuality and anger management, as well as providing a confidential sanctuary for spiritual leaders navigating the specific weight of burnout. Whether you are rediscovering your connection as a couple or seeking to regain your footing as a leader, I offer a grounded space to navigate your most challenging emotional landscapes.
