Hello! It's great to meet you. I'm Autumn Halliwell, a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. I work with clients who are facing significant life changes, experiencing mood disorders, working through trauma and its impact, or just need some help finding some insight in the moment. I identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamorous communities.
Welcome! and thank you for taking the time to do this step for yourself.

As a late diagnosed ADHD woman, I understand the struggles of perfectionism, anxiety and disordered eating and strive to provide neuro-affirming care. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I am confident we can get you there.
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.
I've been a Mental Health Therapist in private practice since 2012. I received my Master's degree in Seattle, WA and have been practicing in Walla Walla, WA since 2022. I love working with many different ages and demographics and like to keep an open mind and stance as we get to know one another.
Being a therapist is rewarding to me on many levels. I believe it's both my responsibility and privilege to join people where they are, whether they're struggling through a difficult life event, moving through a life transition, or grappling with their meaning and purpose. The relationship of trust we develop is one of the most important foundations to successful therapy. And it will be a primary value during our work together. People often describe me as warm and compassionate, with a grounding presence and gentle approach to the work. Alongside a little humor and challenging nudges towards growth.
Great day to you! I am Kim Rodgers, LICSW (15yrs.). To complete my Master’s of Social Work Degree, I served as a school counselor for grades K-9. Since then, I have worked in Corrections, the Homeless Department and the Vet Center (within the Federal Government), in a Behavioral Health Hospital, and in Community Health. I have a great deal of “outreach work” experience, both personally and professionally.
Hello! My name is Julia. I have an MA in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University. My experience spans seven years of working with individuals, couples and families. I tend to work from person-centered, strengths-based and creative modalities.
In my other life I am an actress and you might occasionally spy me on TV or in the movies as a mom, zombie killer, police detective or med tech.
I provide warm, empathetic, neurodiversity affirming, and trauma-informed care focused in supporting women, queer, and non-binary individuals to heal the root cause of nervous system dysregulation.
This may be a good fit if you are someone who...
- has done years of personal growth work but still feels emotionally reactive in certain moments
- understands your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn’t fully caught up
- values spirituality, mindfulness, or meditation, but still feels emotionally stuck
- longs for deeper authenticity in relationships
- wants therapy to be experiential, not just analytical
- is functioning well externally while privately carrying old emotional burdens
Please note: I am not accepting cis-male clients at this time.
