Hello, my name is Jenny Brady. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, accepting patients between the ages of 5 and 70. I hold a doctorate degree in nursing and am also certified as a family nurse practitioner, allowing me to bring a holistic approach to your mental health. I love working with a variety of people and hold a special place in my heart for first responders and members of our military.
I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals. We negotiate together how to optimize your experience of living life, your relationships, your work, and we continue to build on that. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and build the life that we want to live.
I also train and supervise associate level counselors in the states of Washington and Louisiana.
Congratulations in taking the brave step of considering therapy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I've worked with people from many diverse walks of life. I became a therapist a little later in life, my life experiences inform my practice, and I understand we all do the best we can with what we have. I’m here to partner with you on this journey.
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.
Hello, I am a fierce advocate for my patients. My goal is to improve your functioning, thoughts, and enhance self-acceptance and self-love. I listen and together with my patients create a solution-focused treatment plan aimed at enhancing your strengths and reducing your symptoms. I have over a decade of skilled bedside nursing in critical care, hospice, and ICU. My passion is empowering and uplifting others to reach their full quality of life .
Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.
I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.
If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.
I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.
I'm an LCSW with expertise in brain and behavior and additional specialty in addiction
