Hi! My name is Emilia Magana; Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have been providing evidence-based therapy for over 13 years in the State of Washington. I specialize in Behavior Modification and managing Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Addiction, and Neurodivergent impact.
My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Tacoma
Searching for couples therapists in Tacoma starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling can support concerns like communication breakdowns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.
In Tacoma, finding one therapist who works for both partners often means balancing location, schedule, appointment format, and therapy style. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near Tacoma, while others use virtual appointments to add more scheduling options. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit both calendars, and provide a brief consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist structures couples sessions and whether their communication style feels aligned.
Couples therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review bios, 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.
