I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples, supporting them through relational challenges (such as miscommunication, attachment style differences, and parenting), life transitions (including retirement and career changes, divorce, or becoming parents), struggles with anxiety and depression, and identity exploration. I have a special passion for working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals.
I've been a Mental Health Therapist in private practice since 2012. I received my Master's degree in Seattle, WA and have been practicing in Walla Walla, WA since 2022. I love working with many different ages and demographics and like to keep an open mind and stance as we get to know one another.
Being a therapist is rewarding to me on many levels. I believe it's both my responsibility and privilege to join people where they are, whether they're struggling through a difficult life event, moving through a life transition, or grappling with their meaning and purpose. The relationship of trust we develop is one of the most important foundations to successful therapy. And it will be a primary value during our work together. People often describe me as warm and compassionate, with a grounding presence and gentle approach to the work. Alongside a little humor and challenging nudges towards growth.
I’m a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I care deeply about helping adults feel understood and supported. I work with people experiencing mood, anxiety, trauma‐related, and neurodivergent challenges, and I try to make the process feel calm, collaborative, and human. As a woman of color, I understand how meaningful it can be to have a provider who recognizes the impact of identity, culture, and lived experience on mental health. I’m committed to providing inclusive, affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals and people from all backgrounds. My practice centers on safety, respect, and whole‐person wellbeing through medication management, education, and supportive guidance tailored to your goals.
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 have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.
I’m an experiential therapist who helps individuals reconnect with their most authentic selves. I believe that true healing begins when we start living from within—free from the weight of external expectations imposed by society, timelines, family roles, and other outside pressures. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work from a systemic lens. I take a holistic and humanistic approach, considering the full context of who you are—your relationships, sociocultural environment, attachment history, and life experiences.
I understand depression and anxiety from both the client and therapist point of view. I know what it is like to feel sad for no apparent reason. I bring my personal and professional experience to help my clients to live happy, productive, and purposeful lives.
You and your family's pursuit of healing and wholeness can start here, today! I will honor your voice and partner with you in your journey. If speaking up a struggle for you, I can help you find your voice and learn how to use it. I know the deep impact the work towards wholeness can have on a person’s life and want you to experience the peace and clarity that you deserve. I am truly passionate about helping you know yourself and build the life you want. My desire is to facilitate an environment that is safe for you to heal and grow.
I have been on a journey to my true calling as a therapist all of my life. My life experiences and subsequent journey for personal insight and healing, coupled with my educational pursuits have equipped me for the work ahead with you. I was built with the empathy, discernment, and compassion to do this. I would love to hear your story today!
I have worked as a therapist since 2014 and really enjoy supporting people in exploring their identity, processing trauma, navigating life transitions, and parenting. I use several different therapy modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting. Together we can find what works best for you.
Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV.

My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.
I'm a compassionate mental health provider who believes healing is possible for everyone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life — and my role is to walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and unwavering support. I bring warmth and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help.
