Anthem | Elevance Therapists in Everett, WA

Coming from the emergency medical field, I’ve seen firsthand how the mind, body, and soul are connected. We are all intersectional beings that encompass a vast amount of love and kindness, to give to ourselves and share with others.

We are currently accepting new clients! My name is Kendra M, I am a therapist at Traverse Therapy Services. My goal as a therapist is to work together with you collaboratively to find treatments and solutions to the issues and needs that you are facing. Whether you feel like you’re not understood or no one truly understands what you are trying to say or are struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health needs I have experience and success in helping people on their journey to living healthy, fulfilling lives whether it is their first step or their last. My main goal is to support and help you in any way I can.

There are many reasons someone seeks therapy. Whether it is from years of not feeling good enough or a life changing event, I can provide clarity, help you develop a better understanding of yourself, as well as help you to process trauma. By building an understanding of each part of the self and how the mind and body interplay, we can lessen traumatic and unwanted responses and build self-reliance and self-worth. I have a collaborative, holistic, and solution minded approach to therapy. I specialize in working with those who are neurodivergent and/or members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I utilize the relationship between the body and

I offer a warm, validating and authentic space in which you can explore, deeply examine, and accept who you are as well as seek to change alongside someone who genuinely cares. You may experience the occasional gentle challenge, but diverse perspectives and social justice are valued here; your worldview will be treated as valid. You are the expert on you, so my priority is facilitating your search for your own answers over presenting mine. I point out beliefs, connections and patterns without presenting my interpretation as the best or only one. Strategies and conclusions you buy into are the most likely to have a lasting impact.

Those who have anxiety or are in crisis, as many people are, can affect how they view themselves. Therapy can help navigate unexpected changes in life, which may feel overwhelming. Improving and maintaining balance is the key to living a fuller life. Getting what you need to help you move forward can enable you to see a more optimal version of yourself. In my own life, I have tried many different ways to accomplish this and realize that not everything works for everyone!

I approach therapy from an evidence-based perspective by letting you know what the research has shown to be the most effective way of handling whatever problems you’re struggling with. From there, we can work together to adapt that type of therapy to fit your specific needs & life circumstances so we can figure out how to make our sessions most helpful for you. I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT/PE, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness-based therapies amongst other evidence-based psychotherapies. I accept First Choice Health insurance, which frequently contracts with some Kaiser plans. Please call to confirm I am in-network with your plan.

We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions. For many this leads to experiencing a variety of symptoms. Life can also throw us some big curveballs that feel impossible to adjust to. I believe with assistance anyone can process the past, heal, build coping skills and cultivate a mindset that is needed to create a life that is enjoyable. I utilize DBT and EMDR to aid you in your journey.

There is so much inherent power in who you are as a person, and I am here to bear witness to your process of becoming, with and for you, to help you embrace ways of being that fit with who you want to be and how you want to live. I seek to affirm what you experience now and what you carry with you from the past from an attuned, compassionate, nonjudgmental place. I am committed to my own continuous learning and growing, and firmly believe in the wisdom that you hold as an expert of your own lived experiences.

Welcome! I provide counseling for anyone 18+. I create an empathetic, supportive, and judgment-free space for those looking to process the stressors of life. I work with clients on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, burnout, and more. I have interest in working with survivors of trauma and abuse, those suffering from chronic pain or chronic illness, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those seeking inner child healing. As someone who has experienced many of these personally, I know the emotional weight they can carry.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families. The decision to enter counseling is often a difficult one, but the rewards from a positive and productive experience are life changing. My goal is to create a safe, trusting, and supportive environment in which an individual can examine and clarify the issues that concern them, seek solutions, and create positive change and growth in their lives and relationships.

I am accepting a sliding scale fee for no insurance, no insurance means insurances not on my list, or out-of-network insurances typically will be at a lessor rate, just let me know what you can afford to pay.

Therapy is a messy, beautiful adventure of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My greatest desire is to empower you to use life’s challenges to discover your inner strength, wisdom, and sense of purpose. I am passionate about working with people seeking transformative growth and meaning in life. I specialize in supporting adults healing through trauma (esp. childhood/complex trauma); grief; life transitions (e.g. midlife crisis, end of life); and topics related to spirituality such as psychedelic integration, spiritual emergency/awakening, and near-death experiences.

Each of us is born into an existing and developing story that impacts and shapes us, but not always in healthy or beneficial ways. The desire to be seen, heard, loved, and understood are fundamental needs that often, through no fault of our own, go unmet. Using modalities that draw from trauma informed psychodynamic and narrative therapies, I work with my clients to help them discover, understand, accept, and integrate parts of their story and themselves without shame.

Are you someone who desires to examine and change their life and needs some support? You are already on your way to find this. I believe that connection to the body and self is a true gift in this life and something that we are often separated from through oppression, trauma, eating disorders, etc. I like to work with individuals who want to come back into themselves. My clients are passionate about personal development divesting from oppressive systems and gaining a true understanding of themselves.

For many years I struggled with shame and doubt about who I was, often feeling lost and hopeless. I would exercise my feelings through control or passivity in relations with others. It wasn't until I received help from a counselor that I started my journey of healing that lead to my discovery of an authentic self who could practice healthy relationships, acceptance, love, and feel worthy from the inside out. At that point I chose to become a Counselor so as to assist others in their journeys of self discovery.
