Ready to find therapy that eases symptoms quickly? Dr. Athena Hubbard is a licensed psychologist specializing in psychological assessment, trauma treatment, depression, anxiety, and relational dynamics and concerns.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe mental health is an essential part of living a grounded and meaningful life. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and high personal standards that often lead to negative self-talk. Through Essential Being Therapy, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build self-compassion, and reconnect with their essential being.
I'm Dr. Allycen Kurup, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Tacoma and licensed to practice virtually across Washington State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+-affirming care, transgender issues, trauma, and stress management, and I work with individuals and families. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychological Science from Purdue University and have trained specifically in gender health and LGBTQ+-focused clinical settings. My passion is being a fierce guide and advocate for LGBTQ+ clients, but that is not solely what we need to focus on. I aim to provide an affirming space where LGBTQ+ folks feel inherently understood and can work on any issue.
I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.
Hi, I'm Dr. Maria Moore. I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma, anxiety, relationship counseling, and nervous system-based approaches to healing. I work with individuals and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and personalized, helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered throughout the healing process. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, IFS, and CBT to help clients move beyond feeling stuck and create meaningful, lasting change. For those who desire it, faith can also be incorporated into the counseling process.
I work with individuals, couples and families with teenagers who are struggling with managing stress, depression and anxiety, sexual issues (such as porn use, kink and gender issues), parenting and couples relationship conflicts, as well as helping individuals move on from past experiences of trauma or loss. I have a doctorate in Social Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. I have a solid and extensive background and training in treating addictions and substance abuse.

Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Tacoma
Finding family therapists in Tacoma starts with naming what your household wants support with. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, relationship strain, or communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Tacoma therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, attachment, family systems, or work with children and teens.
In a mid-size city like Tacoma, you may find several local options, but the right match still depends on format, schedule, and session structure. Some families prefer in-person sessions near home, school, or work, while others use virtual therapy to make it easier for multiple people to join from different locations. Attendance may also vary by session, with the full family, caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual members joining at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit and structure.
Family therapy in Tacoma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear profile details before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
