Kaiser (Out-of-Network) Therapists in Mead, WA

I specialize in working with women who want to improve how they feel about themselves and their relationships. Many of the women I work with have known adversity. You may be struggling with sadness, anxiety, anger—all feelings which are very normal given the stressful experiences you are going through. You want to move beyond the past so you can accept yourself as you are. Learning how to manage negative thoughts, intense emotions, setting boundaries, and improved communication would all be skills you’d like to improve upon.

Using a person-centered approach to therapy, I invite you to bring your whole self to the therapeutic process. I seek to provide a space for empathy, curiosity and compassion, where you and I collaborate together to notice areas of life and relationships that create distress. With renewed understanding and acceptance we will find ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that are less judgmental and more helpful for you.

It is in relationships that we experience healing and change. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, valued, and supported as we journey together in the work that you have decided to do. Taking the first step to reach out and ask for help can be difficult and finding the right person you can trust is crucial to improved mental wellness.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I want to be able to help support you through life's journey. I fully understand how overwhelming feelings of depression, anxiety or trauma can be. Plainly put, sometimes life can be challenging and we may need help figuring out what to do next or help with processing some big emotions. I'm here to help! We will work together to identify your individual goals and strengths to equip you with the tools you will need to accomplish those goals. No matter what the challenge is, I am confident we can work through it together!

Are you feeling the weight of expectations and demands as an athlete? Wrestling with performance anxiety or navigating the complex dynamics of relationships? I get it. Life as an athlete is a unique journey filled with incredible highs and challenging lows. If you find yourself caught in the whirlwind of stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles, know that you're not alone. I'm Sara Milliron, and I've walked the path you're on. As a therapist with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in supporting athletes like you. The demands of being an athlete, the stress of performance, relationship intricacies—I understand.

Hi, I’m Cassie. I specialize in working with adults and couples, focusing on anxiety, relational issues, interpersonal conflict, and stress management related to life adjustments. With a warm and collaborative approach, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. My therapeutic style is relaxed and gently direct, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I believe that my role as a therapist is not to “fix” you, but rather empower you by providing you with tools to identify alternative perspectives and restructure unhealthy patterns.

I have been practicing for over 25 years. I have had the privilege to positively treat patients in a variety of settings including churches, hospitals, schools, and agencies. I am trained in EMDR therapy to help reduce the effects of trauma. My experience is varied across age spans as well in diverse populations both culturally and economically. My heart is to serve clients who are looking for holistic healing and are longing for breakthrough in their lives. My gift is to come alongside people in a compassionate and motivating way to give tools for them to find healing and wholeness so that freedom is a reality for each person.

Hi! I’m Deb. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counseling Associate and a postpartum doula. I have experience primarily working with children and adolescents and specialize working with a postpartum and perinatal population who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

So often life can be hard to navigate on your own. It is my hope to teach you tools and skills to make life feel more balanced. I have a deep passion for people and cherish each person's journey and story. Sharing your story is powerful in its vulnerability and often that is where the healing begins. "Sometimes you just need to talk about something- not to get sympathy or help- but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hit the air" (Karen Salmansohn).

Living well does not mean the absence of problems, illness, and pain. Hardships are unavoidable. Learning how to view problems as opportunities for personal growth, and finding wellness in the midst of it all, is the cornerstone of my practice. My goal is to help adults develop insight into the underlying beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that create barriers to well-being.

Being a person is hard work; our lives are complex and navigating the world is challenging even in the best of circumstances. What we all long for, a sense of wellness, is not just the absence of affliction, it is the presence of vitality. Each of us has the capacity for this vitality, where we live fully and whole-heartedly. Clients who find my services most helpful tend to be those who are looking for a new way of living, who seek a deeper understanding of their feelings, their relationships, and their life.
