Zachary Fitzpatrick

Zachary Fitzpatrick

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I have been practicing as a therapist for 3 years, with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with both teens and adults facing issues with addiction, neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I strive to create a safe and judgement free zone where you can feel safe to bring your struggles. I am proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and welcome my clients to fully be themselves, no matter how you look, who you love, or what you feel.

Outside of the therapy space, I love to spend time outdoors whenever it's nice out. On a rainy day I'm happy to spend the day reading, crocheting, or playing a good video game. My dog can usually be found nearby, either hiking or swimming outside or taking a nap on her bed.

James Walker

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.
