Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Bellevue, WA

My name is Steven Hightower, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience providing behavioral health services. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward greater emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I believe that getting the right support should feel straightforward, not overwhelming. My approach centers on building a genuine connection with you before anything else, so you feel comfortable sharing what is really going on. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I want to make that step as easy as possible. Whether you are dealing with persistent worry, low mood, or the lasting effects of a difficult experience, I am here to work through it with you at a pace that feels right.

I'm Dr. Kara Hokes, a licensed clinical psychologist who offers telehealth therapy to adolescents and adults in Washington state. I have many years of training and experience focusing on trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and emotion dysregulation. In the past, I have worked extensively with first responders and military affiliated individuals.

Hi there, my name is Marie and I approach therapy with an open heart and curious mind. I naturally bring a calm and grounding energy that can help you build emotional safety and growth. I believe every person deserves a space where they feel truly seen and accepted. To me, therapy is a place for you to explore, process, discover goals, and gain a deeper understanding of your life experiences.

I am a down-to-earth, supportive, nonjudgmental, and open-minded Board Certified Psychiatric NP. I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis. For a more rewarding 1-on-1 approach, I returned to grad school and earned a Masters, and chose to become certified as a Psychiatric NP. I am honored and fortunate to have the opportunity to manage medications for kids and adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Panic, Sleep problems, and other ailments from a place of encouragement and respect and based on an ever growing library of peer reviewed scientific literature and medical treatment guidelines.
