With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and over 3 years of experience, I work with adults experiencing grief and a loss of identity related to childhood trauma, family dynamics, and significant life transitions. If you're struggling with boundaries, attachment patterns in relationships, or persistent feelings of not being enough or unworthy of love, you're in the right place. Together, we'll explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with your sense of self and move toward a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


With 33 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I've worked alongside people of all ages-teenagers navigating identify and stress, adults managing trauma, anxiety and mood disorders and seniors facing grief, loss and major life transitions. I've practiced in community mental health, crisis response, primary care and outpatient settings-this variety and extent of experience contributes to how I show up for you in every session.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder and stress management. I work with adolescents, adults and older adults and I accept many major insurance plans-Including Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, BCBS, Regence, Carelong and Quest. All sessions are virtual, which means you can access consistent, quality care without leaving home.

I hold a Masters of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and am fully licensed in Oregon and Washington.

Dr. Deonka Winn

Dr. Deonka Winn

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I am a transmasc, queer therapist. My ongoing, personal journey of exploration definitely informs my work as a psychotherapist.

I’ve been working as a mental health professional for over two decades,I have been helping people navigate systems and life changes throughout my career. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported in my practice – gay, lesbian, bi, queer, exploring, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kinky, ASE, intersex gender expansive, genderqueer, transgender, nonbinary, and those who are exploring – I want everyone to feel safe, seen and heard in my office.

The focus of my work over the past 25 years has been on fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum – especially those who are questioning or wanting to explore their queer and trans identities in a safe, inclusive space.

I provide individual therapy and work with older teens, young adults to elder audlts who are exploring their gender identities.

I know that you expected your life to be fulfilling and enjoyable, but instead you just feel tired, discouraged, anxious, and stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. Maybe you avoid conflict in your marriage just to keep the peace, going through the motions in public while feeling disconnected in private. Or perhaps the weight of stress, a job you don’t enjoy, or a sense of being stuck has drained the energy and meaning from your life.

Deep down, you want to laugh again, feel close to your partner, and truly be teammates instead of adversaries. You don’t have to settle for this version of your life or your marriage—change is possible, and something better is within reach.
