Welcome! I am an experienced psychotherapist with a strong educational background, a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, and a master's degree in forensic psychology. I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have successfully assisted individuals from diverse backgrounds, including adults, families, children, military families, and those who have severe mental illness, in navigating emotional challenges and enhancing their overall well-being.
I am enthusiastic Washingtonian and happy to call Seattle home. I received my undergraduate degree in Medical Anthropology and Global Health from the University of Washington, and my Doctorate from the University of North Dakota. When partnering with me, expect a clinician who is focused on you, your culture, and how all of these factors impact your experience. I lead with curiosity, collecting and using data to inform our work together and guide my integration of evidenced based practice.
Hello! I am Renell Kumeh, an advanced practice registered nurse, with dual certification in family medicine and psychiatry, licensed in OR, WA, DC, TX, FL, NV, ND, CT, MA and pending licensures in other states. At the core of my values is treating others the way I would like to be treated.
Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with advanced training from Drexel University. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. My practice integrates thoughtful medication management with supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and collaborative care to help you feel heard, informed, and empowered in your treatment.
Mental health has been a deeply personal passion of mine for most of my life — growing up with a family history of mental health challenges gave me an early understanding of how much the right support can change someone's life. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I work with many clients who come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, and unsure of where to turn. What sets me apart is that I genuinely listen — not just to what you're saying, but to what's beneath it. Outside of my work, you can find me hiking, spending time at the beach, or getting lost in music, all of which remind me of the importance of balance and restoration, values I bring into my practice every day.
I’m Dr. Emem Nkanga, Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that everyone deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to mental health care. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with a focused dedication to psychiatry over the past 4 years. My passion lies in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.
I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.

My name is Monica, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner proudly serving individuals and families throughout Washington state. After seven years as a psychiatric nurse, I recently transitioned into a nurse practitioner role, graduating with honors and deepening my commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate mental health care. Working with individuals across the lifespan, including children and adolescents, has given me a broad understanding of the diverse challenges people face and the resilience they possess.
I specialize in working with adults and older adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling with boundaries, or carrying experiences that still impact how you move through the world. My work integrates approaches like bibliotherapy, CBT, and DBT to help you process what you’ve been through while building practical skills you can use in your daily life and relationships.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.
I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

- Teenagers and young adults

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Trauma Therapist in Tacoma, WA
Searching for therapists in Tacoma starts with finding care that matches what you want to work on and how you prefer to talk through it. Tacoma therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. A bio can help you see whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or other forms of counseling in Tacoma.
Tacoma has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Hilltop, Proctor, Stadium District, and nearby areas, with virtual care adding more flexibility beyond local office locations. If your schedule varies, a therapist with evening, weekend, or virtual appointments may fit better than one with a fixed in-person schedule. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search Tacoma therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose a fit based on your needs, schedule, and plan.
