Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bellingham, WA

¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.

I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.

My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.

Great day to you! I am Kim Rodgers, LICSW (15yrs.). To complete my Master’s of Social Work Degree, I served as a school counselor for grades K-9. Since then, I have worked in Corrections, the Homeless Department and the Vet Center (within the Federal Government), in a Behavioral Health Hospital, and in Community Health. I have a great deal of “outreach work” experience, both personally and professionally.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important first step. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work through life's challenges together.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State with a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Methodist University and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship concerns, racial stress, and the emotional impact of cancer and chronic illness.

I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely seen and accepted. Whether you're processing difficult experiences, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to live.

My journey in this field began with a fascination for individual development across the lifespan, particularly in relational and identity formation. I earned my B.S. in Developmental Psychology and Women & Gender Studies, which laid the foundation for my interest in this field. Following my undergraduate studies, I completed two terms of service with AmeriCorps, providing support to individuals and families at Community Resource Centers in California throughout the Sacramento and Bay Area. Through these experiences, I gained valuable insight into how strong communities are built by supporting the well-being of individuals and families. This work ultimately inspired me to pursue an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Sonoma State University.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than four years of clinical experience. I have training in EMDR, Gottman, Emotionally Focused and Relational Life Therapy. My client focus is adults and couples.

Healing starts with being understood. I’m Yuliana Gonzalez, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician specializing in trauma, proudly providing care in both English and Spanish.

You may be here because something in your life feels heavy, overwhelming, or out of balance. You deserve a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen.

In our work together, I’ll give you practical tools to navigate stress, anxiety, grief, or major life transitions. We’ll focus on reframing self-defeating thoughts, building self-esteem, and practicing mindful compassion so you can feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life.

With over 30 years as a Transformational Therapist, I draw from Breathwork, Guided Imagery, Stress-Release techniques, Centering practices, Energy Work, Therapeutic Movement, and Pattern Interrupts. For those open to it, I also offer Medicine Wheel work and Sacred Card readings for deeper insight.

Clients often say they feel comforted by my warm, intuitive style—maybe helped by the calm, steady presence I’ve learned from my beloved cats. If you’re ready for gentle, supportive, whole-person healing, I’d love to work with you. You can book time with my directly through my profile on Headway or give me a call.
