Accepting clients for Telehealth Sessions and EMDR! Hello! Nice to meet you and I hope to work with you soon. To get started a bit about me. My name is Anna Tyutyunnik and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I have worked with individuals of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

I work successfully with adolescents and adults, offer support, insight, and compassion for people who want to know themselves, to transform and enhance relationships, to manage anxiety and depression, as well as to address current issues in the areas of parenting and life transitions.

I believe that each person holds a unique essence and recipe for happiness within. Feeling confused about the direction of your life, "stuck" in the same patterns, same "mistakes" even though you "know better"? You are not alone. It happens because we can't just think our way out of patterns, blocks, and imprints of trauma. My clients report significant, tangible improvements in the quality of their lives and relationships. While the time it takes for changes to take hold varies, all clients report feeling better after the very first session. Sessions are non-intimidating, compassionate, supportive, and inspiring.

If you are struggling with a relationship, familial issues, a difficult life transition, or just struggling to get through the day-to-day then it is a good time to ask for help.I believe that it is never too late to start counseling and that counseling is a unique experience for everyone.Some people might go to counseling weekly for years, some might go to sessions weekly for 6 months and then transition to biweekly, some might be going to counseling for the first time, and some might be looking for a new counselor.All these experiences are valid, and my goal is to help you figure out what works for you and what you want to achieve.

When life is difficult, we need a place to explore how to regain our emotional balance of self. In therapy, we focus on how past experiences and relationships have shaped the way we interact with others and how we learned to negotiate the world around us.

Vicky is trained and excited to work with children and adolescents who may struggle with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma or developmental difficulties. Vicky uses creative methods such as sand tray therapy, play therapy, and drama therapy to go beyond what traditional talk therapy may accomplish, utilizing our innate need for play and creativity to build a therapeutic relationship and help reach goals.

Choosing a healthcare provider can feel particularly frustrating, adding stress on top of the reason you are seeking care. Making a good connection is worth the effort! I'm a Washington licensed doctor of clinical psychology, a veteran, and former technology executive.

My approach is based in the Existential-Phenomenological and Relational Psychodynamic traditions; however my practice is integrative and based on each client's unique needs and goals.

Through thoughtful dialogue and collaborative therapeutic relationship, we work to understand and challenge your assumptions and patterns, so that you make more confident choices and live in a way that is mindful and true to your authentic self.

Accepting New Clients. As a sex and relationship therapist, I bring a somatic perspective to sessions: highlighting the nervous system, locating feelings in the body, and developing skills for increased pleasure and embodiment. My primary focus is relationships, including relationship to others, community, self, the body, and the natural world. I believe that connecting with ourselves leads to a deeper connection with others, and I practice both individual and relational therapy. In session, I invite deeper conversations around sexuality and gender, which are foundational aspects of who we are and how we express ourselves.

Мы живем в очень необычное время. Сложности, которые мы испытывали до пандемии, приобрели новый оттенок. Все теперь проживается по другому: наша способность адаптироваться к лишениям, переживать потери, горе, изоляцию, ассимилировать изменения - все это формирует нас, определяет нашу способность или ее дефицит, справляться с ситуацией. Я нацелена встретить вас в том месте, где вы находитесь в данный момент, помочь осмыслить его, понять ваши нужды, как вы о них заботитесь или их игнорируете, какие варианты мышления, отношения, поведения для вас возможны, чтобы вам нравился ваш опыт, а также помочь быть с тем, что не нравится.
