Mindy Watson

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and extensive experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, self-doubt, or difficulty setting boundaries. Many of my clients are young professionals, high-achievers, caregivers, and deeply empathetic individuals who are used to carrying a lot for others and are ready to reconnect with themselves.

I’m passionate about helping clients understand their patterns, build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, trauma, or a major life transition, I provide support and tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me they feel safe opening up fully in our work together. I create a warm, nonjudgmental, and comfortable environment where you can be your authentic self without fear of criticism or judgment.

I bring a balance of compassion and honesty, so you feel both supported and gently challenged. My goal is to help you feel understood while empowering you to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Heather Belts

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people who have experienced childhood adversity. Many of my clients have ADHD, autism, or high ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores and understand their patterns intellectually, but need help creating change that feels safe and sustainable.

I work best with clients who are ready to take an honest look at how their past continues to shape their relationships, choices, and sense of self. Trauma work cannot be rushed, so I maintain a small caseload and move at a pace that gives each client’s nervous system time to adapt. I bring genuine compassion, curiosity, and humanity into the therapy room.

Therapist

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.

I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.

I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Washington

Searching for therapists in Washington starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Washington therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Location and format can also shape your search. If you live near Seattle, Spokane, or Tacoma, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand access across other parts of Washington. Consider whether you prefer meeting in an office, meeting virtually, or having both options available. It can also help to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can give you a clearer sense of each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of therapy in Washington can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans. You can browse therapists, review profiles, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
