Hi, I’m Kristin, a compassionate licensed therapist passionate about helping people heal from life’s toughest experiences while rediscovering joy and lightness along the way. With 15 years of experience in mental health counseling, I am licensed in both Washington and New York State. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I specialize in trauma and PTSD integration, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and building emotional resilience—especially for those navigating complex past experiences. I bring warmth, empathy, and a great sense of humor to every session because laughter can be a powerful ally in healing—it helps lighten the load, build trust, and remind us that hope and humanity coexist even in hard times. Whether you’re in the Pacific Northwest dealing with burnout or deeper wounds, I’m here to support you with genuine care and gentle humor toward greater freedom and connection.
Do you feel like anxiety has taken over the driver’s seat? Or find yourself struggling to set the boundaries you need in your relationships? Do you wonder how past traumatic experiences might be showing up in the present, or find yourself feeling frustrated that they still affect you? Perhaps you’re wanting to explore who you are, and how to feel more fulfilled in life or navigate change? Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to process loss?
If any (or all) of those resonate with you, I’m here to help.
I offer therapy for real humans, from a real human. You don’t have to figure all of this out alone.
I believe trust is cultivated through transparency. I integrate evidence-based care with treatment. Treatment can open unique pathways towards emotional breakthrough and has shown a remarkable ability to reduce symptoms rapidly.
Hello! I am Arwen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, committed to helping clients begin to live their best lives. Making the decision to seek help is a big step and is the beginning to changing the issues that are interfering with your daily life. I use a safe, holistic, compassionate, judgement free approach, knowing you are the expert of you. We all have past scars, but they do not need to dictate our future. Please note that I only work with individuals 18 and older. I do not do family or couple's therapy.
If food, body image, or exercise feel like a constant source of stress in your life, I would love to help. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years experience in working with eating disorders, I want to support your journey in choosing and maintaining recovery. I use approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand where these thoughts and behaviors come from. I enjoy directing energy towards one's values and providing small achievable steps to creating a life in recovery. I have worked for The Emily Program, The Eating Recovery Center, Thira Health, and served LGBTQIA+ folks at Seattle Counseling Service. I have a Master's in Counseling Psychology and truly love working with this population as I am in recovery myself and truly believe recovery is possible for everyone.
I am a licensed mental health therapist; I have experience with a diverse, complex, and co-occurring clientele with a broad age range from adolescents to older adults.
Hi, I’m Alisha, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in mental health care. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood.
I take a personalized, collaborative approach to treatment and work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, PMDD, and ADHD, including non-stimulant treatment options. My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again while finding a treatment plan that fits your needs and your life.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a career that began around 2008. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My background includes supporting adults with developmental disabilities, counseling at-risk youth, and working in psychiatric residential treatment, crisis care, hospital case management, and forensic mental health. I have also served as Director of Services for a youth crisis residential program, a sheriff’s deputy, and a military police officer.
Currently, I serve as a Lead Therapist in inpatient psychiatry, providing assessments, individualized treatment planning, and therapeutic support for people experiencing acute and complex mental health concerns. I collaborate with the treatment team to support stabilization and continuity of care and take on leadership responsibilities as needed.
I also provide outpatient therapy to military members and their families, drawing on my own military experience. Across my work, I help clients build coping skills, strengthen daily functioning, and move toward meaningful goals. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Washington.
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.
