Therapists in Puyallup, WA

Hello and welcome! The most important aspect of therapy is the positive relationship between therapist & client that fosters respect, trust & open communication.  It's my intention to create a supportive & collaborative environment where we can work together to find the best way to address your needs in this journey. I encourage change by providing alternative perspectives & creating collaborative plans to help you achieve your goals.  I strive to foster respect for each client & their unique belief & value systems, & I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives & my role as a therapist is a gentle guide.

ACCEPTING CLIENTS. I love to help women that feel they are being crushed by anxiety and expectations. I help my clients gain confidence, set boundaries, and shake off the need to always be "the helper". I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma processing, and perinatal concerns (pregnancy through postpartum).

Everyone is worthy of love and belonging. I am committed to creating a safe space for my clients no matter their background, story, or identity. I believe that each client is unique and deserves to be heard. Therapy is a collaborative process. My role is to meet you where you are and guide you toward healing. I will respect and honor your story and help you move through the pain to find new beginnings.

I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, challenges with self-worth and unhelpful thinking, trauma, PTSD, relationships and feeling stuck. I help clients realize their innate wisdom, achieve their goals - whatever they may be, and find new ways of being in a world that is constantly full of challenges. I also work with parents who are struggling with their roles as parents, dealing with guilt and shame that oftentimes comes with parenting and help to find positive solutions with childrearing.

At some point we face problems in our lives. My approach in therapy is personalized to help you meet your specific needs and goals. I offer individual counseling services to adults. Together we can collaborate to make steps towards meaningful changes in your life.

Therapy is a a collaborative process in which we use your own strengths to help you live the life you desire. Perhaps something is in your way, blocking you from living a life where you feel content and empowered. Therapy can help. I am passionate about working with anyone who wants something in themselves or their lives to change. My experience includes (but is not limited to) working with individuals who have experienced trauma including combat and sexual assault, life transitions including postpartum, infidelity, anxiety, mood dis-regulation, low self worth, suicidal ideation, self harm behavior, codependency and psychosis.

If you’re here now – chances are you’re ready for a change. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Burdened by wounds from your past. Maybe you’re struggling to cope with anxiety, low self-esteem, or managing the relationships in your life. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking help in these areas. They typically gain a greater sense of self-awareness, growth, and empowerment through the work we do. Nobody is immune to the struggles that life often brings. I won’t tell you that therapy will be easy but the power of working with a therapist you connect with can make all the difference.

Are you living the life you want? Do you have the relationship/relationships you want? I want to understand your life and support you in making your life and relationships all that you can imagine them to be. I would be honored to join you on your path to healthier relationships and more satisfying life. Relationship struggles, enhancements, and growth are my primary focus and that certainly includes relationship to self. Please see my website for further information, or email so we can discuss your particular concerns and how I can best support you. I work with adults 18+ only. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you dealing with unforgiveness, abandonment, rejection, and trauma suffered in childhood? Do you need someone to talk to, but find it difficult to trust your friends or family? Do you have relationship problems? Are you depressed? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Do you feel you are failing in life, and need to regain normalcy? Are you ready to deal with the root cause of issues faced in your life? Are you looking for a safe place where you can share your challenges without fear of being judged?

Hi! I'm Tabatha. I'm going to be real with you, I am an odd duck. I don't say that in a self-deprecating way. I feel like sometimes what others need from therapy is not only someone who can be serious, but can be silly when you need a good laugh in-between all the trauma talk and hard times. I choose my practice name of Mountains and Molehills not only to have a little fun with it, but to also share that no matter the problem, big or small, it matters. I currently tend to work with clients ages from 18 years and older who suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorders, PTSD, and life transitions.

I enjoy working with people experiencing difficulty in all elements of life. I look through the lens of family systems which means I incorporate family dynamics and looking at generational patterns to learn more about what is presently impacting the clients ability to function optimally. I specialize in working with families all together to support change longevity. I particularly enjoy working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, or facing relationship difficulty. I use many methods to help people process their stress and trauma including art, movement, talk, and practicing alternative ways to navigate the world.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am passionate about providing mental health services to those in need by coming alongside clients and providing treatment that aligns with their values and interests. My goal is to provide an environment where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and feelings, and where clients feel heard, accepted, and respected.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, we need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you or your child struggle with anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. The Salish Sea Collective understands that our clients deserve care encompassing physical, mental, emotional, sexual and spiritual health. These human aspects are intrinsically intertwined and require a holistic approach. Our multidisciplinary team create a cohesive atmosphere where clinicians work together for our clients.

I hold Master's degree in Counseling from Seattle University. I work with clients on relationship issues, co-dependency, separation, divorce and co-parenting, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, sexual trauma and major life transitions. It is my belief that the ultimate human need is connection and meaningful relationships. My desire is to help clients clarify feelings, improve communication, and strengthen and deepen connections.

Update: Not accepting new clients - I believe that people make sense in the context of their story and that the key to healing is within each one of us. My approach to therapy has evolved over the years as I began understanding that what most people are looking for is someone who can help them with a deeper understanding of how they became exactly who they are today.
