Hi everyone! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at Bumblebee Therapy. I graduated from Western Washington University with my BA in Sociology before obtaining my Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2018. In my role as a social worker, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from all socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual orientations with one focus: advocating for my client’s safety and well-being, whatever that looks like for them.
You're here because something needs to change, and that takes courage. I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and life's major transitions. This is built on a simple truth: you already have the answers inside you; sometimes you just need help accessing them. I don't believe in focusing solely on the past or offering surface-level advice. Instead, we'll acknowledge what happened, understand how it shaped you, then focus our energy on building the life you actually want. This is your journey, I'm just here to walk alongside you, challenge you when needed, and remind you of your own power.
I am a dedicated counselor with a passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and my Master's in Guidance and Counseling from Lincoln University. My career began working with survivors of domestic and sexual assault and, over the years, I have gained diverse experience working in private practice, school-based therapy, community behavioral health, and the prison system.My approach is sex positive, affirming and tailored to your unique needs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to explore. I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest and spending time with my friends, family and dog.
I'm Lina, and I'm passionate about empowering individuals on their journey to healing and growth. With a diverse background in hospital social work, outpatient mental health services, and inpatient psychiatric care, I have gained invaluable experience and insights that enable me to support a wide range of clients facing emotional and mental health challenges.
As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.
My name is Benjamin. With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships and improve emotional well-being. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life challenges.
My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on meaningful, lasting growth. I help clients better understand their emotions, strengthen connections, and develop practical tools for everyday life.
Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and engaging—I bring honesty, humor, and compassion to create a space where you can grow, heal, and be yourself. Book with me here or at https://evolvetothrive9.com.
