My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.

I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.

I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Bryan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals who find themselves at a point where life feels overwhelming or “too much.” Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing grief or loss, adjusting to change, or simply feeling weighed down by stress, you don’t have to face it alone. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported during this season of your life.

I view therapy as a true partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here as a steady co-pilot—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and supporting you as you move forward at your own pace. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and practical factors impacting your well-being and develop tools to help you regain balance and clarity.

Together, we’ll work toward strengthening resilience, building insight, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling more grounded and supported, I invite you to reach out and give me a call so we can begin this work together.

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.

Hailey Foster

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.

I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

Tetana Adkins

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Welcome! My name is Tetana Adkins, and I am a licensed independent practitioner in the State of Washington. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work with a specialized Mental Health track from the University of Washington in 2018. With a strong foundation in community mental health and a focus on digital accessibility, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality telehealth care since 2020. I am passionate about meeting my clients where they are, ensuring professional support is always within reach.

I believe in a holistic model of wellness that balances all aspects of the individual. As an eclectic clinician, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I draw from a diverse 'toolbox' of therapies—including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness—to help you build the specific coping skills you need to thrive. My goal is to serve as a guide for those seeking support with anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, body dysmorphia, and gender identity. Together, we focus on your inherent strengths to foster lasting recovery.
