I’m Stephanie Jairam, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults and adolescents navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, and other mood-related concerns who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.
My background in healthcare gives me a well-rounded perspective. I take a holistic approach, recognizing the close connection between mental and physical health. I’m known for being collaborative, non-judgmental, and thorough, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your care.
As your Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. You can trust that I am fully committed to your well-being and dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.
Something positive, warm, and uplifting about me as your PMHNP is that I genuinely believe in your strength and resilience. I see your potential for growth and healing, even during the toughest of times. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that firmly believes in personalized and whole-person care. I am a neurodivergent therapist that loves to work with other neurodivergent people. I have been practicing therapy since 2019. I have worked in schools as well as working in a group therapy practice.
I’m Elizabeth Webber-Mikaele, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have spent my career supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical tools for change.
My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Multicultural Social Services from the University of Washington and a Master’s degree in Education with a School Counseling certification, along with National Board Certification in School Counseling. I am also a National Certified Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, which allows me to mentor and supervise counseling professionals across the country.
Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and clinical settings, helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for working with women, adolescents, and children, helping them build confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed approaches while tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
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.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Theresa McDowell, PhD and I’m a dedicated School Psychologist and licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience in mental health and education. I specialize in supporting individuals across various stages of life, offering evidence-based interventions to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and grief.
I have experienced many roles as I begin to edge out of "middle age" (daughter, sister, student, employee, spouse, parent, pet owner, friend, grieving family member, congregant, team player, book-clubber, yogi, etc.), I am more connected than ever to what is important in life and what is true for most people and communities. We work hard, we try to create relationships and joy, we need to play & create, and most of us need some sense of love & belonging, along with a sense of purpose. It is an honor to journey with clients.
