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.
Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.
I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated with dignity. My approach is holistic, recognizing that mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and lifestyle factors. I provide compassionate, evidence-based, and nonjudgmental care in a safe environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns. Together, we work to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports healing, resilience, and long-term wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Puyallup, WA
Searching for therapists in Puyallup starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists and counselors in Puyallup may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Some profiles may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, or couples counseling.
Puyallup is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.
Therapy in Puyallup can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.
