Grief counselors and therapists in Renton, WA

Hello, and welcome. I am Anupa Dhital a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated with respect.

I work with mainly with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD and insomnia. My goal is to partner with you to better understand your needs and develop an individualized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being.

I value open communication, cultural sensitivity, and collaborative decision-making, empowering you to take an active role in your mental health journey.

I am licensed in Washington and Texas with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, communication and confidence. I have worked with parents to target behavioral challenges and provided parenting education to improve the family home. In addition, I have success with helping families navigate relationship challenges and reintegrating.

“Warm, practical, and empowering therapy to help you move beyond anxiety and into lasting change.”

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important first step. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work through life's challenges together.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State with a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Methodist University and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship concerns, racial stress, and the emotional impact of cancer and chronic illness.

I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely seen and accepted. Whether you're processing difficult experiences, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to live.

I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 20 years of nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practices, community health centers, and behavioral health settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other complex mental health concerns.

My career also includes international humanitarian work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), where I cared for individuals affected by conflict and crisis. This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.

My goal is to partner with you to develop practical, individualized strategies that improve emotional well-being, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

You don’t have to navigate life’s hardest moments alone. I work with individuals and families who are facing crisis, grief, general life challenges, or major life transitions. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to cope with what’s ahead.

As a social worker with experience in medical and end-of-life settings, I understand how complex and heavy these moments can be. I also recognize the challenges of navigating family dynamics. My goal is to provide a steady, supportive space where you can process what you’re going through and feel less alone in it.

Welcome, I look forward to working with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State. I've been working in the field for over 20 years, and have found in the last 10, that for most people, the online option has worked just as well as in person. It provides convenience, accessibility, and a more comfortable setting for my clients to be more open and engaged.

As a clinician I provide evidence based treatments including cognitive behavioral, solution focused, mindfulness based stress reduction, and compassion focused therapy. In addition to these practices, I incorporate an art as therapy treatment for those that find communicating verbally intimidating. I have several specializations, including one in child/adolescent mental health; and another one in trauma focused best practices. Over the past year, I have been incorporating indigenous knowledge and respectful design into my work with the tribal members in South America.
