I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust and transparency. My experience working in healthcare and in larger systems has only strengthened this belief. I look forward to joining you in your journey and supporting your growth.
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.
Over twenty years of experience providing mental health services to a wide range of clients - finding the unique nature of each individual.
Hello, I'm Dr. Aminu Mahmud, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and focused on helping individuals achieve meaningful improvements in their mental health and quality of life.
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.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have over 7 years of post graduate experience working with individuals and couples.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Olympia
Searching for therapists in Olympia starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Olympia for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to focus on. Some bios may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, which can help you decide who may be a strong fit.
Olympia is a smaller city, so local office availability may vary across Downtown, Capitol Hill, Eastside, and nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Washington. Consider practical details like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their work with concerns like counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or couples therapy in Olympia, WA.
Therapy in Olympia can be a significant cost 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 match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan, with cost estimates shown upfront after you enter your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
