Family therapy and counseling in Kennewick, WA

Hi! My name is Emilia Magana; Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have been providing evidence-based therapy for over 13 years in the State of Washington. I specialize in Behavior Modification and managing Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Addiction, and Neurodivergent impact.

I am a believer in Dreams. I believe life is short and quality counts. Trauma, Victim Issues, Domestic Violence & Abuse issues are my primary focus. I have been working with Victims and Survivors for over twenty years.

I am curious about your life and how you handle things. I love animals and nature and take a holistic approach to therapy.

I have been practicing as a therapist for 3 years, with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with both teens and adults facing issues with addiction, neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I strive to create a safe and judgement free zone where you can feel safe to bring your struggles. I am proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and welcome my clients to fully be themselves, no matter how you look, who you love, or what you feel.

Outside of the therapy space, I love to spend time outdoors whenever it's nice out. On a rainy day I'm happy to spend the day reading, crocheting, or playing a good video game. My dog can usually be found nearby, either hiking or swimming outside or taking a nap on her bed.

Since therapy is about you, I will offer a little about myself. I was born and raised in rural Appalachia. My dad was a steel worker and a solid human being. He was the coach of my little league baseball team and taught me everything about nature. My mom however, was the one who inspired me to become a therapist. She never went to school for psychology, but she was one of the most naturally astute observers of human behavior I have ever known. She had an innate ability to truly see people, and they were drawn to her because of it. Her greatest gift was her discernment: she knew exactly when someone needed a silent, supportive ear and when they needed a practical problem solver. She always gave people precisely what they were seeking, and watching her transform lives just by listening is what made me want to do the same.

I have 30 years of counseling experience as a Navy Chaplain, Parish Pastor and Marriage and Family Therapist. My passion is to be in service to others, especially those most in need of mental health services. I work work with ethnically diverse populations; as an LMFT I focus on the systems that my clients live in, including (but not limited to) family, school, friends, DSHS, the juvenile justice system and the criminal justice system, work, friendship groups.

Psychotherapy provides a safe place to discuss fears, thoughts, and difficult decisions we as humans must make during our journey in life. I believe we are capable of making life changes with the right tools. I am here to listen without judgement. I believe we all have a story to share. Being heard is one of the most important aspects of communication.

My passion is working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. By sharing your story, we can begin to process the trauma from experience to a new understanding, while remaining in the present.

I have a Master's degree in Psychology. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I am also a Child Mental Health Specialist with a background in teaching. My specialty is childhood trauma, (children and adults), grief and PTSD Nero divergent individuals such as ADHD, OCD, Autism spectrum

I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.
