¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.
I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.
My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.
I have a Nursing Doctorate, an MSN in Psychiatric Nursing and BA in Latin American Studies. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and certified in perinatal mental health. I believe in treating the whole person, not just prescribing medication. I work with nutrition, movement, sleep, time in nature, intentional socialization. I use supportive therapy with medication visits. I truly love what I do.
I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive—not cold or clinical. I’m a licensed therapist who genuinely cares about the people I work with, and I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Whether you’re coming in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected in your relationship, or unsure where to start, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. I work with teens (13+) and adults, individuals and couples, and I value honesty, compassion, and real connection in the therapy space. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.
I'm Dr. Jason Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, starting as a counselor before advancing into psychiatry. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and weight-related mental health concerns, using a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, medications, nutrition, and hormone support. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel your best.
With nearly 15 years of practice, I support women, immigrants, and multiracial clients through the complexities of relationships, work, identity, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I offer specialized support for adult TCKs (Third Culture Kids) navigating identity fragmentation, assimilation, and belonging, and am also a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provider.
Hello. My name is Julie and I am a licensed mental health counselor. In addition to working in WA state in a clinic setting, I have spent five years in Singapore working as a social/emotional counselor in a large international high school. In that role, I supported students and families from over 75 countries in the world. That helps me to view counseling from an inclusive and culturally sensitive space. I now make my home in the beautiful PNW and am excited to ground my practice here.
I’m passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to healing and personal growth. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in helping clients release past traumas, lighten their emotional burdens, and create space for a more fulfilling present. I believe in the power of connection, and I strive to create a supportive, empathetic environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on building a life that reflects your best self, free from the weight of the past and focused on living fully in the now.
I also love the outdoors and use experiential therapy techniques in nature to help guide clients through their own mental roadblocks, current and past trauma, and self doubt.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, and I'm deeply passionate about supporting women through life’s major transitions- especially perimenopause and menopause.
Perimenopause is a common experience, yet so many women feel entirely unprepared for how disruptive symptoms such as mood shifts, brain fog and insomnia can be. Infertility, post-partum adjustments and parenting can also present unique challenges. My goal is to help you move through these transitions with growth, empowerment and vibrancy.
My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan. I support those facing challenges in young adulthood, work stress, self-confidence struggles, impostor syndrome, relationship and family conflict, parenting, retirement, and the search for meaning at every stage of life. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Hello, I’m Charles, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your experiences, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop the tools needed to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma
Finding a postpartum therapist in Tacoma starts with identifying the type of support that fits your situation. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment difficulties are among the most common concerns that bring new parents to therapy. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health — such as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical social worker (LICSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer specialized care during this time. Some providers also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals additional training in this area.
With hundreds of providers practicing across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific postpartum condition, or practices a particular therapy approach like CBT or interpersonal therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.
Therapy in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs for postpartum care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
