I enjoy working with teens and young adults, spanning ages 13 to 35. With extensive expertise in assisting neurodivergent individuals and those within the LGBTQ+ community, I welcome anyone seeking care through creative or somatic methodologies. Employing a holistic therapeutic approach, my methods integrate cognitive and somatic interventions, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing, Polyvagal Therapy, and Mindfulness. It is my fervent commitment to empower every individual I work with, ensuring they feel

I'm glad you're here. Confronting patterns that suppress your true values, needs, and desires in demanding systems and relationships is incredibly difficult. It is also the bravest and most commitment you can make to yourself. You may be here because of self doubt, identity confusion, people-pleasing, family conflict, perfectionism, body image issues, or burnout. My role as a therapist is creating a safe environment to hear you, see you, and empower you to live authentically. The therapeutic relationship needs to be strong for you to take risks and be nurtured with understanding, compassion, humor, and honesty.

Hello and Welcome! I'm LaSaundra McCurty, I provide individual therapy for all your needs. My approach is rooted in compassion and tailored to your unique needs. I have supported countless clients in overcoming life's hurdles and rediscovering their inner strength. My role as a therapist stems from personal and professional motivations. Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My job is to empower and provide a safe space for healing.

I’m a Couples Therapist and Individual Therapist as well as the Co-founder of The Wellness Collective Therapy Group. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Neuroscience. Through a collaborative approach, I work with clients to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Together, we explore thoughts and feelings surrounding sex and relationships, while ensuring a supportive environment for growth.

I'm passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and trauma survivors with an approach rooted in the sincere belief that you are the expert on your own life. I use both somatic and cognitive therapies, to assist you in connecting with why and how you react to the world around you.

Whatever you are going through, you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Sometimes, we encounter barriers that can keep us from living the joyous life we deserve. Maybe those barriers include: depression, anxiety, or trauma reactions. Perhaps you need help on building your skills, strengths, resiliency, and emotional awareness to cope with the various challenges throughout life. Or, maybe you want the tools to align your life with your values and vision. Even though painful, difficult experiences are inevitable, that does not mean we can't live our best lives, or be our most authentic and fulfilled selves.

I work with individuals aged 16 and up, and I am committed to creating a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship. I believe that working together means uncovering your strengths, confronting challenges, and developing strategies that enhance your well-being and quality of life. Whether you're struggling with the pressures of school/family/society, the weight of past traumas, or the challenges of adapting to a new environment, I offer a personalized approach to help you navigate in the face of change.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel numb, unable to find joy in things that once made you happy? When we're struggling, it can spill out, onto our relationships, showing up in ways that create more issues. In our efforts to make change, we may try to solve them by reading self-help books or talking to our closest friends, only to find the problem is still a problem. That’s where I can help. Together we’ll identify goals and collaborate on a treatment plan. The beginning of any journey or change begins with acceptance, the proper treatment, and a healthier relationship and connection with ourselves and the world around us.

As a provider coming from clinical work in community and institutional settings, I have had the privilege of working alongside a wide array of individuals. My approach has become a constellation of theoretical orientations. I believe wholeheartedly in the potential for growth via the therapeutic relationship, and most shiningly, the beauty of human resilience. Mental health symptoms and addictions are nothing but survival skills begging to be transmuted. Unaddressed trauma as been the focus of my work, and I lean on mindfulness and the power of its practice to retrain the brain’s most reactive pathways.

I am a seasoned therapist with a solid background of training in counseling psychology and I keep a very enthusiastic learning edge on perspectives and developments in psychotherapy. I can always find a way to generate an earnest and stimulative approach to working with clients in therapy. I believe that persons seeking therapy hope to find someone who has a mature range of life experience, sophisticated knowledge of the therapeutic process, a tested repertoire of counseling skills and the ability to provide the anticipatory guidance that fosters self-determination and meaningful life changes. I am confident I have these attributes.

As a marriage and family therapist I use a family systems approach based on gaining an understanding of how we think, feel and behave in the systems we belong to. I use an integrated approach, structuring sessions applicable to the client's needs; therefore, therapy is a collaborative effort and exchange. Both past and present life experiences shape who we are. Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the many roles we play. It is my hope that I can help ease any discomfort or pain you experience in your families and relationships.

We all want to be seen and heard. As a therapist, I thoroughly enjoy building nurturing and therapeutic relationships with my clients. Providing a safe space for adults and couple's to discover their truth and authenticity. Helping people move through deep programing of guilt and shame. We live in challenging times where balance and harmony with oneself and our world can be difficult to master. This results in depression, anxiety and self-doubt. By identifying the false stories we tell ourselves and patterns that no longer suite us, meaningful work can be done to create new stories and healthier coping with emotional resilience.

My approach is supported by mindfulness practices and tailored to your individual needs. I provide individual counseling support for parents of children or adults with developmental disabilities and/or significant medical conditions as well as adults impacted by cancer. Individual coaching related to resource navigation such as DDA, healthcare systems, government benefits. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Washington State and Montana with over 23 years of experience in the field of developmental disabilities and medical social work, including 12 years with DDA and over 7 years in pediatric hospitals and clinics.

Many people can feel they have become “stuck” at a certain point in their life, such as a challenging life adjustment, communication difficulties in a relationship, or getting caught up in negative thoughts and behaviors. My goal in therapy is to establish a safe and supportive environment to freely express your inner thoughts and concerns, while providing resources and a platform for you to advocate for yourself. We will work together as a team to establish goals and to help you overcome life’s demands, difficulties and barriers.

Being human was already challenging; the last few years have made it harder. Our old ways of coping may no longer work for us as we face old patterns and navigate new challenges. We are ready for less stress and more happiness, but aren't sure how to get there. I will support you to identify, explore, and remove obstacles to your wellbeing, unleashing your innate capacity for healing, resilience, and joy. I will not only guide you to awareness of yourself and others through a safe, supportive therapeutic alliance, but also offer you practical mindfulness tools, where appropriate to your understanding both in and out of session.

Elizabeth Palmer treats clients ages 18 & up. Sessions may be face to face or virtual (using a HIPAA compliant platform).

My intention as a counselor is to form a relationship which becomes a safe place within which you can explore the nature of persistent obstacles which leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, or "stuck." We will look at your style of relating to others, habits and patterns formed throughout the years, as a way to gain insight into who you are and where you would like to be. We will explore the significant relationships in your life (FAMILY OF ORIGIN, romantic, friendships) as well as your relationship with yourself (your emotions, how you handle and/or address conflict, anxiety, stress, sadness).

As a member of a neurodivergent family, I understand how difficult it can be to find providers who are knowledgeable and/or willing to work with neurodivergent clients in typical mental health settings, and on the things that are important to them, rather than on what society dictates. I am also a queer and gender non-conforming woman, and aim to provide a space that is affirming of all genders and sexualities. In all cases, my goal is to provide the kind of knowledgeable, validating care I wish my family and myself could have had available when we needed it most.
