I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner passionate about supporting preteens, teens, and adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. I provide medication management with therapy woven into every visit.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from Walden University, which I earned in 2021. I have over five years of experience providing mental health services in both community health and school-based settings, with a primary focus on supporting children and adolescents.
For the past five years, I have worked as a school-based mental health provider across elementary, middle, and high school settings. Through this experience, I have had the opportunity to work with young people experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and difficulties with emotional regulation and coping. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporate evidence-based approaches while tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs, developmental level, and strengths.
My goal is to help children and adolescents understand themselves more fully, develop healthy coping and communication skills, and recognize the strengths they already possess. I believe meaningful therapeutic progress begins with feeling safe enough to be yourself.
My name is Shnarika Powell, though I go by Simone, and I am the lead provider at Champion Wellness & Psychiatry, a faith-based private practice in Washington state. I have a big heart, a passion for listening, and a deep dedication to helping you restore peace, positivity, and self-love. My core values are rooted in compassion, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing the mental well-being of the individuals and families I serve. I specialize in treating anxiety and major depression, with a dedicated focus on supporting men and women struggling with weight management and obesity.
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.
With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past. You may find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.
Thank you for stopping by. I'm a licensed therapist and have been actively working with clients for the past 23 years. Iv had the pleasure and experience and have worked with most MH disorders/significant life affecting events and across all age groups. My passion is to be authentically present while facilitating a search for meaning of past/present events. I believe self love is essential therefor self esteem development is fostered.
Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
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'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, and I'm deeply passionate about supporting women through life’s major transitions- especially perimenopause and menopause.
Perimenopause is a common experience, yet so many women feel entirely unprepared for how disruptive symptoms such as mood shifts, brain fog and insomnia can be. Infertility, post-partum adjustments and parenting can also present unique challenges. My goal is to help you move through these transitions with growth, empowerment and vibrancy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Puyallup
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.
