Let me use my many years of experience working with clients to help you through lifes most difficult and challenging events. I use different forms of therapy depending on the need of my client. I can help with a variety of problems such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Hi there! My name is Meghan Robbins, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. My experience is primarily working with children, teens, and adults specializing in topics related to depression, anxiety, adjustment concerns, grief and loss, and trauma. I am most comfortable working with adolescent and young adults. However, I have experience with clients from all age ranges and background.

We all have the ability within ourselves to make changes and to live our best lives, yet often times we can get in our own way of that progress. Difficulties in our lives are often linked to problems in our relationships with people close to us. Therapy can help us examine our behavior and create ways so that we can remove the roadblocks keeping us from improving upon our relationships. I use many dynamic forms of treatment in order to help you reach these goals. I base my practice in the belief that therapy in itself is relationship-based.

am Gigi Servis, a seasoned practitioner licensed as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Certified Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP), and a Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt) in the state of Washington. I also have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and am trained in EMDR and trauma therapy. Approach to Therapy: In my practice, I integrate evidence-based modalities with holistic approaches to foster healing on multiple levels. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and my approach is client-centered, strength-based, and rooted in empathy and respect.

I consider it my privilege to join individuals and families on their journeys towards wellness! My approach is supportive, collaborative, and often emphasizes development of skills and enhancement of already-present skills (e.g., coping, conflict resolution, parenting). I consider humor an essential ingredient! I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, in a variety of settings such as outpatient, inpatient, and residential, and have prior experience in CPS and adoption services.

The most rewarding and fulfilling times in our lives are the times when we feel respected, connected and heard. Often, we feel that our efforts fall short or we are just unable to communicate our desired intentions, either at work or in our personal or family relationships. Sometimes, we need the help of a professional therapist to improve our self-esteem, become more effective communicators or enhance our relationship dynamics. Ms. Benson specializes in helping her clients achieve understanding and mastery over their issues in a professional, comfortable and caring atmosphere.

Are you struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and a history of trauma? Are you having relationship, work or school stress? Are you feeling stuck in your emotions and ability to connect with others? Do you feel a lack emotional support from others? I can help you develop your ability to cope, improve your functioning, grow and thrive during difficult seasons of your life. I will provide you a safe space to open up and learn lifelong skills that you can use.

Are you tired of struggling emotionally? Do you find yourself regretting interactions with others and feel relationship connections are crumbling? Are you worried about a child or simply need parenting help? The journey of healing, repairing, improving, and become your authentic self will be unique to you. This takes time. When you are ready to make essential life changes, I can help. I offer a sensitive, caring, and collaborative atmosphere along with empirically supported modalities to assist you with your goals toward a more fulfilling life.

Surviving life is existing. Thriving is living. Freedom is a incremental process. Counseling creates space for incremental freedom. I prefer a three prong approach, where meaning of a thing/event, visceral body/emotional experiences and historical messages are explored in current behaviors, thoughts and feelings. In this process, you will be able to manage the unknown standing firm, having confidence despite uncertainty.

My focus as your therapist is to listen deeply, and remind you of your strengths and inner wisdom. I can assist you with creating strategies, skill building to move through the challenges you are experiencing, to improve relationships, improve communication skills, challenge negative thinking patterns. I provide a safe place to talk about what is troubling you.

***I accept First Choice Health insurance, which frequently contracts with some Kaiser plans. Please call to confirm I am in-network with your plan.*** I approach therapy from an evidence-based perspective by letting you know what the research has shown to be the most effective way of handling whatever problems you’re struggling with. From there, we can work together to adapt that type of therapy to fit your specific needs & life circumstances so we can figure out how to make our sessions most helpful for you. I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT/PE, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness-based therapies amongst other evidence-based psychotherapies.

I am happy to work with individuals, couples, partners, and families, and can work with you short-term or long-term. I primarily work with young adults (ages 18-29) and adults (ages 30-64), and I also enjoy working with teens (ages 13-17) and older adults (ages 65+). I love working with people who are LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent! We can work on a variety of things, including (but not limited to): boundary-setting; communication; social, familial, and partner relationships; changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; time and task efficiency; healing from harm and trauma; and developing skills that support your holistic well-being.
