I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.
I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.
I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals
A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.
My name is Monica, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner proudly serving individuals and families throughout Washington state. After seven years as a psychiatric nurse, I recently transitioned into a nurse practitioner role, graduating with honors and deepening my commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate mental health care. Working with individuals across the lifespan, including children and adolescents, has given me a broad understanding of the diverse challenges people face and the resilience they possess.
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.
Hello, and welcome. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than ten years of experience in psychiatry and a passion for helping individuals achieve lasting mental wellness. I provide compassionate medication management and brief psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, psychosis, sleep difficulties, and ADHD.
I have worked with clients and their families in various capacities for the past 12 years. I have found that I love helping people heal from past traumas and overcome whatever is holding them back. Through my training, I have found that the brain and body have incredible healing mechanisms hardwired into them. I am honored to be able to help others unlock those healing aspects and to help people enjoy their lives more fully. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Religious Studies and later completed my Master of Arts in Counseling at Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington.
I'm Melody Claiborne, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Washington and California. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, and depression, offering thorough diagnostic evaluations and personalized medication management for adults. I believe in care that sees the whole person — not just a diagnosis. Having witnessed patients go unheard during their most vulnerable moments, I built my practice around genuine advocacy and connection. I work at your pace, in a safe and supportive environment where your concerns are fully heard and your goals guide your treatment.
Some people arrive feeling mentally exhausted—like their mind is running a marathon they never signed up for. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, depression has drained your motivation, or ADHD makes everyday tasks feel harder than they should. Whatever brought you here, my role is simple: help you sort through the noise and find a clearer path forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions, creating a space where you can talk openly, think clearly, and begin making meaningful changes.
I’m from the PNW like sunshine, summer bbq, chasing waterfalls, mariners games and growing my garden and winter seasons. I love a good novella good food and family time.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Mountlake Terrace, WA
Searching for therapists in Mountlake Terrace starts with knowing what kind of support fits what you want to address. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Mountlake Terrace is a smaller market, so local in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger nearby areas like Lynnwood, Edmonds, or Shoreline. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Washington. Along with specialty fit, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
Therapy in Mountlake Terrace can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated costs upfront. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
