Therapists in Underwood, WA

Are you struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or having difficulty coping? Do you feel stuck or triggered by past trauma? Is trauma holding you back from the life that you desire? Maybe you don’t feel able to connect with those you love, experience joy, or feel present in your day. You are not alone. I’m here to collaborate with you and help you find the hope and peace you are looking for. This is not traditional talk therapy. I create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. I will aid you in developing the coping skills you need and helping you process the experiences of your past.

It is a brave and empowering first step to enter a counseling journey, for yourself, your child, and/or your family. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have experience in areas of childhood trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, adoption, grief, family conflict, and parenting. I have completed certificate programs in Therapeutic Life Story Work and Adoptive and Foster Family Therapy.

You've taken the first step to wellness by looking for a therapist. It can be difficult to find just the right match. You're ready to make a change - I can assist you. My desire is to help you understand core issues that are creating challenges in your life, find ways to cope more satisfactorily, make your desired changes, discover new options and make informed choices. I believe that the fit between client and therapist is important in making changes. I enjoy coming alongside people who have decided it's time to live life to the fullest and overcome issues holding them back.

Why does this keep happening? Why can't I let this go? Why do I find myself in the same relationship over and over? Most of our personal challenges in life come from events in our early childhood or are passed down from trauma in our families. Theses things are challenging to heal or transform when we either don’t remember what they are or never knew to begin with. Even with events we do remember it can be hard to get to a place of transformation. That is why I work with modalities that get deep into the the unconscious so that change can take place on that deep level that is very challenging to get to with thinking and talking.

Mackenzie Wild is a Couples Therapist practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy. She specializes in competing attachments, for instance couples with young children, couples with combined/blended families, or couples with involved grandparents or in-laws. Often couples disengage and become distant under the pressures of daily living. Through couples counseling, our work together can add breathing room and warmth so that the couple can turn toward and support each other during stress. EFT is evidence based and integrates trauma to establish new relational patterns, which improve connectedness and intimacy by changing the root.

**Waitlist** Living authentically can be scary, rather intimidating. With support of a therapist, individuals can learn to accept, even embrace, the vulnerability that the process towards authenticity requires. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can explore personal beliefs and develop their identity. Many individuals struggle with processing life events but it doesn't have to be done alone or involve constant suffering. Life events can be difficult, even "positive" ones such as the birth of a child; postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real and it doesn't have to ruin your experience as a parent!

Trauma is something most people experience in life. However, for some people, these experiences can be soul shattering. Some events can cause us to lose all sense of ourselves as we collapse into fragmented pieces of who we once were and disconnected from who we are meant to be. I believe we all have value and purpose in this life and beyond. By utilizing a combination of talk therapy, EMDR and creative outlets, I will walk beside you as you uncover all the broken bits and pieces to rebuild the beautiful mosaic of your life after trauma

Engaging in counseling can be a scary first step. You may wonder if your symptoms are just in your head and if you really just need to "tough it out".

I am EMDR trained and enjoy using this modality to help others overcome trauma related issues.

A Traumatic experience is like an injury and can have a long lasting effect on you and impact the way you perceive and interact in the world. Anyone can experience trauma, it comes in many shapes and forms. If you are an individual experiencing trauma you may have difficulty regulating emotions such as anger, anxiety, sadness and easily feel overwhelmed or numb and shut down. Due to the trauma, our brain operates in a survival mode and finds ways to cope and not always healthy ways. Trauma not only affects our relationship with ourselves but also impacts our relationships with others.
