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 am a licensed mental health counselor. I work adult clients in private practice setting
My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.
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.
Availability for in person Thursday appointments 1pm and 3pm! As both a therapist and dietitian, I offer holistic, mind-body care for relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. My goal is to create a safe space where you can slow down, be present, and thoughtfully explore yourself and your needs.
NOT ACCEPTING NEW EAP CLIENTS.
With 12 years of mental health experience, I support adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, disordered eating, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and relationship or family-of-origin concerns. I have a special interest in working with Asian American adults and adoptees exploring identity and cultural or family expectations.
Hello! It's great to meet you. I'm Autumn Halliwell, a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. I work with clients who are facing significant life changes, experiencing mood disorders, working through trauma and its impact, or just need some help finding some insight in the moment. I identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamorous communities.
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.
Hello! I am an existential therapist and former lawyer. I understand the challenges of working in a high-stress job, managing family obligations, finding time for rest, and coping with anxiety and depression. I specialize in relationship trauma, panic attacks, insomnia, post-divorce, IVF difficulty, climate/political anxiety, and work-related performance issues.
