Hello, I'm Dr. Aminu Mahmud, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and focused on helping individuals achieve meaningful improvements in their mental health and quality of life.
Are you facing a life transition, mental health challenge, or addiction struggle that feels overwhelming to navigate on your own?
You're not alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals find stability, clarity, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, major life changes, or the challenges of co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth can begin.
For more than 12 years, I've worked across mental health, addiction treatment, crisis intervention, medical settings, and community-based care. I've supported individuals and families through recovery, psychiatric crises, cognitive decline, and significant life transitions. These experiences have taught me that resilience exists even in the hardest circumstances—and that meaningful change is possible.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. Very little surprises me, and nothing is too complex to discuss. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a path forward that feels achievable and authentic to you.
As a late diagnosed ADHD woman, I understand the struggles of perfectionism, anxiety and disordered eating and strive to provide neuro-affirming care. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I am confident we can get you there.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and an Associate Professional Counselor in Georgia, with over a decade of experience providing mental health services. I am also a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision, which allows me to stay grounded in current research and best practices.
I am the owner of Helping Hands Christian Counseling, where I provide individual counseling services to adolescents and adults. My work is rooted in a passion for helping individuals navigate life transitions, heal from past experiences, and develop practical tools for emotional wellness.
I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related concerns, and life stressors. I also integrate faith-based principles for clients who desire a Christian-centered approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.
Hello! I am Renell Kumeh, an advanced practice registered nurse, with dual certification in family medicine and psychiatry, licensed in OR, WA, DC, TX, FL, NV, ND, CT, MA and pending licensures in other states. At the core of my values is treating others the way I would like to be treated.
I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.
I’ve spent 10 years working with teens and families, and I care deeply about helping people feel understood. I create a space where you can be yourself and feel a sense of belonging, without judgment. I value both family connection and your privacy. Most of all, I believe real change starts with a genuine, comfortable relationship.
I currently accept individual adult clients only through Headway. I do not provide couples or family therapy through this platform at this time.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and LGBTQ+ clients seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and more connected relationships. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, honesty, and meaningful connection.
I specialize in relationship therapy, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, shame, self-worth, communication challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves and others.
My work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, humanistic and existential therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand their patterns, and develop more compassionate and empowered ways of relating.
As a queer-affirming therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and relationships. I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves—without judgment—and explore healing in a way that honors their identities, histories, relationships, spirituality, and lived experience.
Hello! I have a Masters in Social Work from USC and I am a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with a wide range of people from many backgrounds including women who have experience domestic violence, teenage students with individualized education plans (IEP) and new moms adjusting to motherhood. I work with clients who have anxiety, low-self esteem/ self-worth, depression, communication issues, and learning to set healthy boundaries.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe exploring your experiences, gaining insight, and building practical tools to navigate life's challenges.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to identity and belonging. My approach recognizes that our experiences are shaped not only by our personal histories but also by our families, communities, cultures, and the broader systems we live within.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and have approximately six years of experience providing psychotherapy. In addition to my clinical work, I have over two decades of experience in child welfare, supervision, leadership, and social work education. These experiences have deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the many factors that influence mental health and well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bellingham, WA
Finding therapists in Bellingham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Others list training in approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. As you compare Bellingham therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain what sessions may look like.
In a smaller city like Bellingham, local therapist availability can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. You may find in-person therapy in areas such as Fairhaven, Downtown, or Cornwall Park, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Washington.

Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they communicate, what populations they support, and how they structure care.
