Is "parecer que..." a phrase that triggers the subjunctive?

For example, if one wanted to say "It seems like I have known you for many years", would one say "Parece que he te conocido muchos años" or would one say "Parece que haya te conocido muchos años"?

Sounds similar to creo, pienso to me, so No.
Aside: pronouns do not go between the auxiliary verb haber and the past participle:
te he conocido
he te conocido
te haya conocido
haya te conocido
