Addiction, compulsive behaviors, disordered eating, love, and sex issues cause enormous stress, guilt, and shame. If you keep asking yourself; Why can't I stop? What is wrong with me? Why do my relationships keep crashing and burning? I am the right therapist for you. I work with teens and adults struggling to understand their behavior. From a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, we will explore the root of your concerns and find out what you can do instead. I will not "fix you". Instead, we will work together to make sense out of confusion and discover what works best for you.

As a WA State Certified DV Provider, I am now offering Court Ordered Evaluations.

I also have worked with individual adults and couples. I enjoy working with a range of individuals and helping everyone to reach whatever goals they may have.

Are you at your wit's end trying to communicate with your ex. Are your kids constantly exposed to conflict between the two of you. Co-parenting after divorce can be difficult. Separating personal issues from parenting issues is a skill that parents find challenging. Co-parenting counseling is an opportunity to discuss problematic issues in a non-threatening environment with help from someone experienced in facilitating communication with divorce issues. You can learn to focus on parenting concerns without the intrusion of past relationship problems. Parents find that it is possible to resolve tough issues without court intervention.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Perhaps you are wanting to discover more about who you really are. Therapy is not a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can assure you that I am as real as it gets! I will work with you to create a supportive relationship that will allow us to face the problems you are experiencing and create a path to healing. It is through connection and trust that healing happens.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

I believe that the relationship to our self is the most important relationship that we will ever have. A bond with a therapist who witnesses and understands us in a nonjudgmental way can be a wonderful ally in improving that relationship and making positive changes in our lives. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and ancestral/family patterns are just some just some examples that can cause suffering that motivates someone to start therapy. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and other mood disorders that make it difficult to function in life.

We are accepting new clients. My name is Zane Tschida. I believe relational dynamics, emotional suppression, and our mental framework lie at the root of most problems. Life can be a chaotic journey, leaving us with nowhere to go with all of our turmoil. I want to help you create a space where I can sit with you in your pain. I utilize an Emotion-Focused lens with couples, a relational/systemic approach with families, and Dialectical Behavior therapy with individuals.

My practice focuses on working with individuals who are processing significant transitions within their lives, particularly those related to developmental processes such as career change, retirement and family care-giving challenges. With an emphasis on creating meaning and exploring new potentials, our work together will help you act intentionally rather than reacting in response to old patterns that may no longer fit the person you are becoming.

Let’s be honest…life throws us in different directions, which can make moving forward even tougher. Does this sound like you: anxious, feeling "unsure", or overwhelmed which leads to other emotions that cause conflict within yourself? Whether you said yes to one or all the above, I want to remind you that you hold more power to make this better than you give yourself credit for.

I have been in the mental health field since 2014 and have worked with various ages and demographics. With a background that includes being a military child, collegiate athlete, and now a parent myself, I have found that I enjoy working with people who are finding themselves in a time of change. At this time, I am seeing clients 14 and older who need extra support in finding coping skills, navigating symptoms of depression or anxiety, communication skills, relationship challenges, and boundary work among other goals. At this time, I will also be taking a break from couples therapy and will update once accepting new clients.

Many of my clients are successful and thriving in ways that people may see on the outside, but their inner experiences of themselves and how they are in relation to the world and the people in their lives are often one of disconnection and dissatisfaction. Many of these feelings come from a variety of sources such as: anxiety, depression, a disordered relationship with food or one's body, and an estranged experience with oneself. People who want to develop a sense of self-awareness and understanding often find working with me beneficial.
