Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Kennewick, WA

People heal when they are provided with a safe, validating, and empowering environment. I strive to provide this type of environment to my clients in my therapeutic practice. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Washington and a certified yoga instructor (200-YTT). I specialize in Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) and trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to increase mind-body connection and identify and change thought patterns that are no longer serving you.

Hi, I’m Carisa Peeples, a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background includes psychiatric emergency care, crisis stabilization, and working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and daily life stressors.

I believe mental health treatment should be compassionate, individualized, and collaborative. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard while we work together to develop a treatment plan that fits their needs and goals.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!

Hello! I'm Lauren Salerno (she/her), a licensed mental health therapist in Washington! I am also trained in art therapy, and love to incorporate creativity into my work with people. My typical client is neurodivergent, creative, and looking for healthy coping skills to learn when to adapt and when to advocate for themselves. I work with adults 18+ and sometimes with groups. Nice to meet you!

I want my clients to know that I believe healing happens through collaboration, trust, and compassion—not judgment. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with over 25 years of nursing experience in acute care settings, I provide evidence-based, person-centered care for individuals experiencing mental health and substance use concerns. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I take the time to understand your experiences, strengths, values, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan together.

I believe that medication is only one piece of treatment. When appropriate, I also incorporate education, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, harm reduction, lifestyle interventions, and coordination with other members of your care team to support your overall well-being.

My role is not to judge your past, but to help you build the future you want. Whether you're seeking care for anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, or another concern, I am committed to providing honest guidance, evidence-based recommendations, and a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect. I encourage questions, welcome open communication, and want you to feel empowered to participate in decisions about your care.

Together, we'll focus on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental health and quality of life.

As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.

Hi! I'm Carli, and I'm a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in the Pacific Northwest. I work with teens and adults navigating everything from anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma to burnout, life transitions, and the stress of living in an increasingly complex world.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative and tailored to you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported from the very beginning.

Care with me is flexible and designed to meet you where you are. Together, we'll find the pace, treatment approach, and level of support that fits your needs—and adapt as those needs evolve.

My educational background includes undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Nursing, followed by a master's degree in nursing specializing in psychiatric mental health. Throughout my career I've cared for patients across outpatient clinics, psychiatric and medical inpatient units, intensive outpatient programs, and community mental health settings.

My approach is rooted in whole-person care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by far more than medication alone. When appropriate, treatment may include medication, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and integrative approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Today, I provide telehealth psychiatric care for adolescents and adults across Oregon and Washington. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am committed to providing affirming, individualized care for neurodivergent individuals, people with developmental disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I commonly treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Elaine! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, couples, and military families navigating life’s ups and downs. I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling with an addendum of Crisis and Trauma Counseling.

Many of my clients come to me struggling with relationship challenges (like communication struggles, Parenting conflicts and infidelity), trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or depression—feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and equipped to create the changes you want in your life

I am passionate about health and wellbeing. I hope to be able to help people thrive. I work in a collaborative way with clients to identify the root of their problems, find creative solutions, and address their questions and concerns along the way. I aim to provide individualized care, not just follow a standard protocol. I have extensive experience as a diagnostician/prescriber in internal medicine, family practice, women's health, endocrine conditions, including hormone management and gender affirming care. I am passionate about mental health care and have experience providing treatment for many conditions, including mood, attention, and thought disorders. I have some experience working with children and families, and extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults.

I am a licensed therapist with over ten years of experience working with people in a variety of settings. I have been practicing therapy for five years and established my Private Practice in March of 2025.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated towards making changes in their day-to-day lives. However, therapy is slow work. That's why my foundation always starts with getting to know who you are through safety, trust, and autonomy. I work alongside you at a pace thats comfortable for you.

I focus on individual therapy utilizing therapeutic approaches including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am committed to being a trauma-informed therapist focusing on the impacts of trauma, physical and emotional safety, empowerment, autonomy, and trust.
