LGBT therapists in Kirkland, WA

I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 20 years of nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practices, community health centers, and behavioral health settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other complex mental health concerns.

My career also includes international humanitarian work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), where I cared for individuals affected by conflict and crisis. This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.

Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.

I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.

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.

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'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience — and I've spent much of that time working with women navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and the weight of carrying everything at once. I also work as a clinical supervisor, which means I'm constantly learning, staying sharp, and bringing the best of current practice into my work with clients.

I believe therapy works best when it doesn't feel like a performance. My sessions have room for real talk, a little laughter when it's called for, and honesty about what's hard. I take my own wellbeing seriously — time with my dogs, getting outside — because I know showing up fully requires taking care of myself too.

Welcome! My name is Tetana Adkins, and I am a licensed independent practitioner in the State of Washington.

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.
