Hello! I’m Dr. Bobbie Sue. I have had the pleasure of working as a Clinical Social Worker since 1997. I have a PhD in Social Work and Social Research and have a particular interest in the area of resilience and using strategic techniques to increase and support personal growth and optimism.
I offer individual therapy for adults and teenagers! I specialize in neurodevelopmental conditions (like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities), and executive functioning skills- focusing, managing emotions, problem solving, and more. I also love working with general mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, existential crises, and life transitions!
I have ten years of experience in mental healthcare, and have an M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University.
You are welcome to message me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation! Otherwise, you can use this calendar to schedule an intake session with me.
I've spent 15 years helping people stop circling the same patterns and actually change them. I'm warm, direct and honest - I'll hold space for your pain and challenge you to move through it. We won't just manage symptoms, we'll go deep to the root. I'll help you see yourself clearly, sit with what is hard, and build something different.
I’m Dr. Deborah E. Jones, PhD, ARNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults find balance, resilience, and renewed purpose. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to care—combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote lasting emotional wellness.
I’ve worked in nursing for more than 30 years across clinical care, education, and leadership, and for the past eight years I’ve specialized in psychiatric mental health as a nurse practitioner. My specialties include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns, and I especially enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to invest in their personal growth and well-being.
At Deborah E. Jones, Psychiatry & Mental Wellness, PLLC — A Lucid Collaborative, my goal is to create a therapeutic space where insight, healing, and clarity come together—empowering you to live with greater peace and confidence.
I'm a board-certified psychotherapist specializing in marriage/couple's therapy, trauma, and working with first responders. My passion is to help people live happier, more fulfilling lives. When I first became a clinician 11+ years ago, I worked in community mental health and only with children, adolescents, teens, and their families. Now, in private practice, my passion focuses on helping adults learn how to give and receive unconditional love. That takes form in a variety of ways. I work with teens as well, however since my practice is solely telehealth it is very limited; some conditions need a higher level of care.
There are some things to know about my practice, to ensure I can meet your needs regarding response time etc. Work/life balance and self-care are important for all of us. While we have the ability to reach anyone, anywhere, and at any time of day, boundaries can help us stay on track with our goals and keep us from getting overwhelmed. With that said, I try not to log into work on my days off or after a certain time in the evening. This helps me show up as my best self for you during our appointments. Additionally, I am self-employed and don't work in an office, so I don't have a receptionist who returns calls or emails for me. There can be a wait before I respond to your message. If this style can work for you, I'd love to become part of your care team and help you with your goals. Take a look at my calendar - you are seeing all of my current openings and possibilities for scheduling your appointments. If that works for you please schedule a free consultation call and we can chat in more detail about how I can help!
I have worked in the mental health field for 15+ years and love working with people from all backgrounds. I graduated from the University of Washington School of Social Work where I earned my Masters in Social Work. I have spent time working in outpatient mental health clinics, local hospitals and various non-profits in King County. My passions include providing gender-affirming care, support for members of the LGBTQ+ community and adolescents.
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 Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering telehealth psychiatric care across Oregon and Washington.
With 12 years of nursing experience laying the foundation for my deep love of patient care, I bring warmth, clinical expertise, and heartfelt dedication to individuals navigating life's most complex mental health conditions.
Specialized Sensitivity
Expertise in hormone-related mood changes, pregnancy and postpartum care, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and menopause. I'm committed to providing a safe, supportive space .
Integrative Wellness
I weave together evidence-based psychiatry with somatic and mindfulness techniques to help clients reconnect with themselves.
Whatever mental health concerns you are navigating, my approach is always trauma-informed and heart-centered.
I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling and am credential by The National Board of Certified Counselors. My professional background is in trauma recovery and forensic psychology, meaning I have approached trauma on from both ends of the spectrum. There is little I haven't seen or heard clinically. This allows me to remain open minded, and has given me the knowledge and experience to provide a safe, supportive space for exploration.
I'm Dr. Allycen Kurup, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Tacoma and licensed to practice virtually across Washington State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+-affirming care, transgender issues, trauma, and stress management, and I work with individuals and families. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychological Science from Purdue University and have trained specifically in gender health and LGBTQ+-focused clinical settings. My passion is being a fierce guide and advocate for LGBTQ+ clients, but that is not solely what we need to focus on. I aim to provide an affirming space where LGBTQ+ folks feel inherently understood and can work on any issue.
After getting my master's in counseling psychology decades ago, there has been a strong focus in helping others process through trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health symptoms getting in the way of living one's best life, I am a licensed mental health counselor who uses several skills and techniques to help people heal.
