Hello! I am glad you are seeking to create change in your life.

I have worked almost exclusively with trauma survivors for the past 18 years as a Licensed Therapist, and I deeply enjoy witnessing the transformation in my clients as they heal. In addition to my clinical experience, I bring a judgment-free perspective, a genuine curiosity about others, and an awareness that therapy is a gift you give to yourself.

In our sessions, you will find an accepting environment where your thoughts and feelings will be challenged in a gentle, nurturing manner. You may be seeking therapy to change thoughts, feelings, or actions without the fear of being judged by others. Quite frankly, you might already be judging yourself plenty—you don’t need that from anyone else.

I offer an environment where you can explore who you truly are, and not who others told you to become.

Let's do this!

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.
