I'm Marla Tavares, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho with over 16 years of experience in community mental health. I joined Heritage Health through Family Support Services in 2008 and have spent my career working with complex and rewarding populations across the mental health spectrum.
My specialty is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and I am passionate about teaching it. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality, grief, and serious mental illness. I am also deeply committed to supporting first responders and military communities through my work with the Red Blue Foundation.
My practice is telehealth-based in Idaho. I am a licensed clinical supervisor, and I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
I’m Elizabeth Webber-Mikaele, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have spent my career supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical tools for change.
My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Multicultural Social Services from the University of Washington and a Master’s degree in Education with a School Counseling certification, along with National Board Certification in School Counseling. I am also a National Certified Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, which allows me to mentor and supervise counseling professionals across the country.
Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and clinical settings, helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for working with women, adolescents, and children, helping them build confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed approaches while tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I am a licensed therapist with over ten years of experience working with people in a variety of settings. I have been practicing therapy for five years and established my Private Practice in March of 2025.
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated towards making changes in their day-to-day lives. However, therapy is slow work. That's why my foundation always starts with getting to know who you are through safety, trust, and autonomy. I work alongside you at a pace thats comfortable for you.
I focus on individual therapy utilizing therapeutic approaches including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am committed to being a trauma-informed therapist focusing on the impacts of trauma, physical and emotional safety, empowerment, autonomy, and trust.

I truly believe in everyone finding the RIGHT fit therapist. Feel free to contact me and let's find out, together, if this could be a great fit.
I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.
After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.
I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.
As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.
