Hi! My name is Melissa Lowry. I am so honored and humbled that you have chosen to work with me. You have taken the first step and you are amazing! But, first, know that confidentiality, collaboration, and safety are essential for working with my clients. You are a priority, not a number. When we are in session, we work together; you are in charge of your care and treatment.

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. Navigating through life's unpredictable nature can lead to feelings of disarray, anxiety, and uncertainty. If you are experiencing such feelings, please know that you are not alone. I am here to accompany you on this journey, offering a listening ear, a compassionate heart, and professional expertise to guide you through these trying times.

I am a clinical social worker, supporting patients from various walks of life. Please reach out to our office if you think you may benefit from counseling support!.

Awareness is everything. How often do we ask ourselves: "How did I get back here again?" - repeating patterns of self-defeating behavior. Raising our awareness of these patterns can help free us from re-engaging in them. The rewards of this exploration are bountiful - as we watch new, healthier behaviors emerge. We get a glimpse of the gifts that life can offer us by simply getting out of our own way. In my practice, I have had the privilege of witnessing the emotional freedom that change can bring and its powerful healing of depression, anxiety and trauma.

Welcome! I am Courtney Reynolds, and I have been working in the mental health field for 8 years. I received my Masters in Counseling from St. Martin’s University in 2017. Prior to working as a therapist I was a case manager and also worked in crisis intervention at the local Crisis Clinic. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS), my primary focus is on children and young adults. I specialize in treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Aloha! Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will meet you exactly where you are at and walk the therapeutic journey with you. The therapeutic journey is a relational one, and together we will discover or recover your essential self, so that you can be the best version of the largest vision you hold about yourself. My therapeutic style is casual yet professional, with plenty of laughter and space for tears.

My speciality is working with those who want to improve their overall wellbeing. Do you feel stuck in stress, sadness, trauma, numbness, or isolation? Perhaps you struggle to maintain relationships, or find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy boundaries. You may question your own worth and struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings with those in your life. Whatever your struggles, you are most likely hoping for more peace of mind, connection, confidence, and compassion. Just like our bodies heal from scrapes and bruises, we are also built and meant to heal emotionally and mentally. Counseling is a great way to gain life skills.

It feels like anxiety has a hold on your life. You wake up in the middle of the night overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. You’re not able to give all of yourself to your personal relationships. The people who once felt close to you now feel distant. You often feel like a fraud, and consistently discredit yourself and your experiences. You also worry that others might discover that you’re a “fraud.” You’re reluctant to go after new opportunities (promotions, etc.) because you don’t feel like you deserve them. You’ve decided it’s time to change this.

Please note: I am currently only accepting private pay clients. I provide therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, exposure to trauma, suicidal thoughts, or domestic violence, among other issues. I enjoy helping individuals try to navigate these issues, in addition to working through everyday struggles, by utilizing a client-centered perspective. While we will work together to identify your specific goals for treatment, we will also work to reduce pain and suffering, while also increasing your sense of overall well-being and happiness.

I believe there is no distinction between the body and the mind. I advocate for overall health, which means during therapy we may address not only your symptoms, but also areas like sleep, nutrition, medical issues, interpersonal relationships, career/education, movement/exercise, and issues from childhood. I provide evidence-based strategies such as relaxation skills training, psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and gentle exposure techniques to help you face your fears so your life can be a little easier. Most of my clients are women seeking help with parenting, stress, anxiety, and/or depression.

I enjoy working with people who are genuinely interested in developing insight and fostering change—whether they are families, couples, or individuals. As a systems therapist, I balance the belief that we have all been shaped by the lives we have lived with the knowledge that everyone is capable of growth and change. I view each client in the context of their family, their environment, and their community because I know that each of these components impacts their experience.

Congratulations, you've decided you want to change parts of your life. The first step is reaching out to a therapist. My practice focuses on offering services for individuals and couples. I have extensive experience with learning to manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Many people experience barriers to a healthy lifestyle, such as anxiety, issues related to their sexuality, and trauma. It is my joy to be a therapist; as such, I feel that my role is to offer support and enable your inner therapist.

Hi! My name is Jeanette Silva and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I believe that to have a successful counseling experience it is critical that you feel fully listened to and understood. I use careful listening and reflecting to join with you to address what is most important to you. As you progress, I help you gain insight into your situation, allow you to vent about your troubles, and develop better ways of coping.

Do you often feel disconnected from your surroundings or yourself? Are you finding it hard to stay present and engaged in daily activities? Maybe you experience gaps in your memory or lose track of time unexpectedly. Perhaps you find yourself detaching from your thoughts, feelings or even who you are. This response is typically a trauma response and serves as a survival strategy, allowing individuals to endure and mentally escape from painful experiences. As your counselor, it’s essential to approach dissociation with empathy and an informed perspective, recognizing it as a response to adversity rather than a character flaw.

My name is Melissa Grossman and I am a licensed mental health counselor supporting individuals in Washington State since 2014. My therapeutic approach in supporting clients who are faced with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and more, is based on trust, client-centricity, and mindfulness.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

Therapy is not an easy process, which is why building a strong therapeutic relationship is so important, no matter who the client is. It is my goal to create a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space where clients can learn to have difficult conversations, experience rupture and repair, and find safety even in pain or discomfort. Therapy should be a place you want to come to, even when it is hard. If that is not the case, then I am not doing a good enough job.

Dr. Mishanec believes every individual comes with a community and a cultural identification existing within the context of greater society. Through an emotion focused and family systems lens, they enjoy listening to and collaborating with individuals, couples, and families to therapeutically address each of these layers. Focus on gaining greater awareness of emotions and the relationship to self and others is encouraged with the purpose of integrating the different parts of self we all experience and connecting to natural supports that exist within our environments.
