I'm Marla Tavares, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho with over 16 years of experience in community mental health. I joined Heritage Health through Family Support Services in 2008 and have spent my career working with complex and rewarding populations across the mental health spectrum.
My specialty is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and I am passionate about teaching it. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality, grief, and serious mental illness. I am also deeply committed to supporting first responders and military communities through my work with the Red Blue Foundation.
My practice is telehealth-based in Idaho. I am a licensed clinical supervisor, and I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
My name is Steven Hightower, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience providing behavioral health services. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward greater emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.
I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and simply being here is an important first step. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone.
I worked in the field for several years under my MSW degree in various roles- (social worker at an inpatient psychiatric evaluation and treatment unit, on a community crisis response team, and in an outpatient setting)- before applying for my licensure approximately six years ago. Bachelor degree major was Psychology and a minor in Child and Family Studies.
People heal when they are provided with a safe, validating, and empowering environment. I strive to provide this type of environment to my clients in my therapeutic practice. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Washington and a certified yoga instructor (200-YTT). I specialize in Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) and trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to increase mind-body connection and identify and change thought patterns that are no longer serving you.
I have over 15 years experience supporting people seeking to be their best selves. I work best with people that are looking to end self-defeating behaviors, adopt new ones and sustain them.
Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.
I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.
If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
My name is Cody Brumbelow. I have been a counselor now for 5 years, both in schools and with individuals clinically. I graduated from UT in Chattanooga, TN and have been working with clients in Washington State virtually ever since. Clients with any presenting concerns or diagnoses are welcome to work with me. Adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, and problems with self-concept have been the core of my work.
After getting my master's in counseling psychology decades ago, there has been a strong focus in helping others process through trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health symptoms getting in the way of living one's best life, I am a licensed mental health counselor who uses several skills and techniques to help people heal.
As a clinician and a person, it’s important that the therapy is working. I also try to bring humor to session and a little of myself to the room. I feel it’s important to be authentic to the process.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Washington
Searching for therapists in Washington starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Washington therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Location and format can also shape your search. If you live near Seattle, Spokane, or Tacoma, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand access across other parts of Washington. Consider whether you prefer meeting in an office, meeting virtually, or having both options available. It can also help to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can give you a clearer sense of each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Washington can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans. You can browse therapists, review profiles, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
