Hi there, I'm Dr. Fuanjia Fuangunyi. As a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and holistic mental health care. I support individuals facing emotional challenges, helping them improve daily functioning and overall well-being. My goal is to help clients build resilience, gain clarity, and create a balanced, meaningful life tailored to their unique needs.
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.
With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.
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.
I'm an AuDHD Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee whose mission is to help people who feel out of place, lost, or different reconnect with their confidence, find a sense of belonging, and rediscover their most authentic selves. My work is grounded in neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA2S+-affirming, and anti-oppressive care. It's important to me to offer a space where people can reclaim their full selves, without the pressure to mask or shrink to be understood.
Since 2015, I've worked in community mental health — supporting adults in crisis as part of a voluntary short-term inpatient crisis triage team, connecting people experiencing homelessness with resources as an outreach case manager, and working as a therapist with kids, youth, and families.
These experiences have shaped my specialties: ADHD, Level 1 Autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. The population I serve are youth 13+, young adults, and families.
I am a trans masc, trauma informed therapist with a spiritual and holistic approach to healing. Guided by a deep belief in love and compassion for all living beings, I create a welcoming and affirming space for individuals from all walks of life. With many years of experience supporting diverse populations, I am committed to fostering connection, understanding, and growth in every therapeutic relationship.
I'm a trilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Portuguese & Spanish). I earned my BA in Psychology from the University of Washington and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest University. I provide therapy services in-person and via telehealth to individuals (18+) struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma issues, OCD, DID, self-esteem, self-harm, and grief and loss.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people navigating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
Hello. My name is Julie and I am a licensed mental health counselor. In addition to working in WA state in a clinic setting, I have spent five years in Singapore working as a social/emotional counselor in a large international high school. In that role, I supported students and families from over 75 countries in the world. That helps me to view counseling from an inclusive and culturally sensitive space. I now make my home in the beautiful PNW and am excited to ground my practice here.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth services throughout Washington.

I would describe my approach as empathetic, collaborative, and evidence-based.
I support my clients in navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, men’s mental health, and the complexities of parenting. My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice to meet each client’s unique circumstances and goals.
I have worked with youth and families since 2005 and clinically since 2012; across a wide spectrum of settings—including community mental health, outpatient clinics, residential programs, and private practice.
