Christopher Skaggs

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


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.

Taylor McAvoy

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! My name is Taylor and I believe that therapy should be accessible for people of all backgrounds. I work to provide my clients with a healing space through person-centered, trauma-informed, narrative and feminist approaches.

I studied clinical mental health counseling at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington and while in school my practicum was through LifeWire in Bellevue serving as a shelter and advocacy agency for survivors of Intimate Partner Violence.

I gained 3 years of experience as an associate counselor working with a group private practice serving children and teens. I have a developed understanding of unique challenges faced across lifespan development and the intersections of those developmental themes with marginalized identities.

I now have two years post-associate experience for a total of 5 years experience. I specialize in treating young adults and teens although I work well with all ages. My areas of focus are anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity issues, women's issues, major life transitions, and relationships.

I believe that creative spaces are healing spaces and often foster creativity during sessions as needed for the client.
