To decide and take the step toward seeking a counselor is an extremely difficult and courageous one, and here you are. Counseling to me is a collaborative and holistic process. I walk with you and help you to identify your challenges, and pain, as well as finding peace, relief, joy, pieces of you that may be lost and self acceptance. Life is difficult, as we all experience, and having a counselor on your side can assist you in finding your authentic self and reach your goals. Through life's many transitions, barriers, and successes, as as well as past trauma, I hope to help you in this.

Do you feel stuck? Stressed out? Are you confused about a relationship? Are you repeating the same destructive behavior you promised yourself that you would stop? You are not alone. To have problems means that you are human; but there is hope. Counseling can help you uncover the reasons for your troubles and help you learn to live in ways that are healthier, more productive and more fun. If you would like to become more of the person you want to be, call or email me to set up a consultation.

Hello and Welcome! I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University. I am also licensed by the State of Washington as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker provider (LICSW). I have been in the Social Work field since 2004 and in private practice since 2021. I was drawn to Social Work as my passion is to serve others.

Have you had experiences that have changed you? Are you wondering how you can heal? Let’s work together to find meaning in your suffering and heal the broken spaces within you. My aim is not to put a bandaid over your wound, let's get down to the roots. This enables us to really heal the wound, though you will be left with a scar. We'll explore the origin of your pain, see how this impacts you currently, and help you better understand your body’s response to adversity. We can also work to resolve common symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress that are so prevalent among us.

Hypnosis is not what you think it is. People get the idea from pop culture that hypnosis is something I will put on you or do to you. This isn't true. You’ve already been in a hypnotic state thousands of times throughout your life. Hypnotherapy is simply using this perfectly natural state to create positive change. This typically requires 3 to 5 sessions. As a certified hypnotherapist, I use hypnosis to help clients overcome limiting and negative behaviors, feelings, & chronic pain. The issues you struggle with originate below the conscious level. If they didn’t, you would easily be able to overcome them using your conscious mind.

My goal as a therapist is to help you create a fulfilling and pleasurable sex and intimate relationship. What that means or how that looks is unique to each individual and couple. Sometimes, other things come up when we're talking about sex too! We each change as we age and grow in relationship or solo. I also hold space for the grief that we each individually or together experience for what we expected sex would look like or how things used to be. I work to improve communication via attachment work and redefine what works for you/the relationship. I bring laughter, safety and nonjudgement to each of my clients in our work together.

Hello, my name is Aleesia Morales and I appreciate your curiosity. I believe that if we know better, we can do and be better; in whatever way we define better. I work with people individually or interconnected with others, such as, family member(s)/partner(s). I welcome all people from any race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religious/spiritual backgrounds. I have experience working with an array of people with dynamic backgrounds, and I have a passion for supporting people who identify with the BIPOC community.

Hi, I’m Donna, MSW Therapist and Wholistic Life Coach. I’m elated to serve you during your most vital transitions and help you succeed on the path that best suits your ability to live optimally. Life can be a challenge, I know. I am also aware that with every obstacle comes solutions that are viable for maintaining better outcomes. Particularly, there are times when we have to identify and examine uncomfortable behavioral patterns and dynamics that impede on our ability to function at our best. Confronting these limitations can often times feel like shame and guilt, and disassemble our ability to possess compassion for our process

I am passionate about being present with individuals as they experience disappointment, pain, despair, and joy in life and relationships. Sometimes, we need help navigating. I believe together we will discover the power and insight already within you. We undergo a process of examining your inner life, dreams, fantasies, and imagination to discover the inspiration that will allow you to live an authentic life. My approach is individually-focused and relationship-driven. Whatever challenges you are facing; that with a bit of goodwill and openness, much can be uncovered in a relatively short period of time.

The challenges you face in life don't have to shape your future. They can help you uncover who you really are. This is your time! Tailored therapy can lead you to your desired path. Society often sets standards that may not be fair. If you dedicate yourself to therapy, you can discover new possibilities, increase your confidence, and achieve inner calm. With my extensive experience, education, and training in counseling, I offer empathy, compassion, and genuine support in our sessions. Our primary aim is to understand your needs and explore how I can assist you. Together, I believe we can achieve healing..

Being deaf, I have a strong desire to help other deaf and hard of hearing people but this doesn't limit me from working with hearing people too. My clients are struggling to fit in in a world that's constantly changing and sometimes seems out to get us all. Clients who come to me are looking for support, knowledge, and growth to counter the challenges of every day life.

Life can often be incredibly overwhelming and sometimes it's helpful to have a little extra support. If you are struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, postpartum or perinatal concerns, or panic attacks, therapy can help. If you need support through different life transitions and are trying to adjust to a different normal, I am here for you. I specialize in supporting clients through all types of anxieties with empathy and kindness. I offer a holistic and systemic perspective for all of the people I work with and will identify how the systems you are a part of impact your current struggles.

Are you often overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, indecisiveness, frustration? Or maybe you feel unfulfilled in your daily routine, your work, or your relationships. The world is a challenging place to navigate right now, and you don’t have to do it alone. With mental health awareness at the forefront of the national conversation, therapy is becoming less and less taboo to seek out. I hope to join you on your journey of healing and embracing your authentic self.

Are you tired of the same argument, different day? Do your arguments consist of one person shutting down to avoid conflict, the other person feeling alone, and both of you feeling misunderstood and hurt. Things don't have to be this way. I assist couples in developing safety and vulnerability to strengthen the relationship bond and learn how to repair ruptures in the relationship. Many of us never learned how to have our emotional needs met, or how to respond to someone's emotional needs. It can feel as unfamiliar as being expected to speak a foreign language.

Are you looking for someone to actively listen to you, acknowledge your needs, & value your perspectives? I am committed to providing a safe place for individuals who have felt unheard, unseen, or undervalued in their life by helping them find meaning, purpose, & balance. Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck or disconnected? There is hope. You are not alone. It is never too late to turn our attention to your current & past experiences so we can begin to better understand & process through experiences. I understand it is difficult to share your story because of shame that often surrounds traumatic events.

People prioritize therapy when it is necessary or important to them. I want to make therapy flexible enough for your busy life, with evening appointments, telehealth, and in-person options. Therapy works best if you have a trusting relationship with your therapist, and I aim to provide that setting, getting to know who you are and what you need, as you are the expert on your life. I hope to help you with the skills that will be useful throughout your life.

Do you spend a lot of time feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Or perhaps you feel bored, numb, or disconnected, and confused about why? I specialize in trauma treatment - whether complex/acute or childhood/adult - to help relieve the internal suffering which many people self-treat through coping strategies. These strategies which were once helpful or necessary may now feel draining or misaligned with your true nature. Much of what I offer to clients is the uncovering of and reconnection with their own innate wisdom. We do this by turning towards your experiences with compassion and acceptance, and making sense of your story.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) working in Western Washington. I work with children and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues.

I am passionate about working with folx who are wanting to heal their relationship with food and their body. One of many tools I use is art in the therapy space. Whether you consider yourself an artist or just enjoy making, we will work together to address your concerns surrounding your eating and whatever else may come with that. I will sit beside you in the grief and pain that comes with this healing journey and we will work together to navigate these challenges. However, I also find the power in humor and joy as a way to work towards healing.
