I am accepting new clients. Do you feel a heaviness in your day to day that makes it difficult to move forward? Are you struggling and isolating yourself even more from people and activities you used to enjoy? Are you needing help, but don't know where to start? You don't have to have all the answers. Let's co-create a space where we can work through today's unique struggles together and get you feeling lighter, balanced and more like yourself.

Clients typically come to me with concerns regarding relationship difficulties, LBGTQ+ challenges, codependency, anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity, sexual identity, self-esteem, interpersonal relationship challenges, breakups/divorce, career change, and grief and loss. My ideal client is someone looking to build a long-term therapeutic relationship that centers their wellbeing.

I believe that everyone can explore internally and foster potential to create a brighter outlook of life. Through open-minded and non-judgmental collaboration, I work with many individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, interpersonal, family dynamic issues, career concerns, trauma, grief, parenting, and body image issues. Almost 20 years of experience, I assist children, adults, families, and couples exploring self-understanding, identifying emotional and behavioral patterns, develop new perspectives and emotion and stress management skills, making meaningful interpersonal connections, and making career decisions.

I wish to serve people of color and other marginalized groups who have experienced chronic oppression and injustices. I would love to work with individuals, couples and families who are ready to step into their power and reclaim their voice. I wish to serve those who are in need of healing and need assistance processing grief, loss, frustration and exhaustion from life's trials and adversities. Being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from professionals who look or talk nothing like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

Our mission is to provide a safe, confidential and meaningful therapy experience for you. Whether you are in need of a safe space to share your thoughts or are looking for assistance in navigating a difficult time in your life, we are here to help.

I practice exclusively with online clients residing in WA, CA & NY. I am out of network for all insurance panels. Psychology has always been a passion of mine in some shape or form. I have 14 yrs of clinical experience working with culturally diverse populations in international and domestic settings. My approach is mindfulness-based with a blend of CBT, person-centered therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I have expertise treating a wide range of psychological issues spanning the spectrum of depression, trauma/anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life adjustments, serving people across the lifespan and in different settings.

I center my work with Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) persons at their intersections, most often LGBTQA+, artists, activists, deep seekers, and other healers. Many have a strong spiritual connection to their current obstacles and are willing to integrate that into their treatment. Presenting concerns range from racial trauma to life transitions, grief to identity. There is an understanding that what is presenting is not a problem, where the goal is creating more space around struggles, creating more options, finding a different perspective, and Being more fully.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

I deeply believe in your ability to find peace, develop your intuition and wisdom to make your own choices about your life, and create new meaning and find healing from trauma, including systemic and intergenerational trauma. I am a humanistic, existentially oriented, compassion-focused Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained therapist who sees clients in Oregon, Washington, and California. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and strive for inclusivity and curiosity for all people. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, transitions, grief and loss, indecision, school/work stress, and relationship conflicts, among other issues.

Accepting New Clients with weekly availability! I offer therapy that is compassionate, non-judgemental, and accepting of who you are and what you are carrying in the present moment. My work is creating a warm environment to explore different layers and parts of yourself, interpersonal relationships, goals and desires, as well as body-based mindfulness practices to process emotions in other ways besides talking. As a queer therapist centered in liberation frameworks, advocacy, and justice, I recognize how systemic oppression effects our mental health.

My practice focuses on youth & young adults ages 12-35. I'm especially passionate about working with BIPOC individuals. As a member of the BIPOC community, ensuring a safe, supportive space & practices that are culturally competent is a priority for me. I have several years of experience working with individuals who’ve struggled with acute & complex trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD & ASD, and gender/sexuality exploration. My clinical skills are rooted in trauma-informed practices utilizing evidence-based principles from CBT, CPT, PE, Motivational Interviewing & Collaborative Problem Solving.

Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human. In our work together my focus is building a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what you think and feel, want and need. My style as a therapist is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I use playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and laughter to support the therapy process and I prioritize taking time to get to know you and what's important to you.

Many of us have learned to alter or set aside parts of ourselves. This can show up in negative self talk, unsatisfying relationships, overwhelmed nervous systems, chronic pain or illness, or reactions that feel out of control or not in alignment for us. Sometimes this comes from patterns in our families, trauma, or oppression. I welcome anyone who is seeking to reconnect with themselves and others.

Hi, I'm Andrew (he/him/his). I’m here to work with you to improve the quality of your life using insight oriented talk therapy. I work with adults on issues ranging from, but not limited to, general stressors of life, interpersonal and relational issues, shame, multicultural issues, LGBTQ+ issues, and navigating life transitions. I also have experience in treating chronic mental health conditions such as anxiety, and depression.

I believe in the transformative power of expressing who you are and how you truly feel. My intention is to create a warm, relaxed, judgment-free space that gives you the freedom to just be yourself and feel your feelings. My style as a therapist is open-minded, collaborative, and flexible. I prioritize getting to know you and what’s important to you in order to build a secure foundation for our work together. Within the safety of the therapeutic relationship we will work together to make sense of your experiences and build confidence to move forward in your life the way you want to.

I love to help people who are straddling cultures and have a complex relationship with duty and autonomy. So many of us have internalized beliefs around what we are supposed to be doing and how we are supposed to live our lives but haven’t had a chance to sit down and workshop whether this is congruent with our overall goals and wants for ourselves. When we don’t take the time and space to heal the inner child and build self confidence to live our best lives, things like anxiety, depression, and emotional reactivity can creep in keeping us feeling stuck.

I have experience providing individual and group psychotherapy in private practice and University settings with adults between the ages of 17-65 since 2004. I have expertise regarding relationship & family dynamics, life transitions & identity, mood & anxiety, and stress & trauma. My approach to counseling is dynamic, collaborative, & Humanistic. I enjoy supporting people to learn new ways to relate through self-awareness and experiential exercises. I work with individuals to reduce symptoms that impact life, work, and relationships and encourage growth by exploring untapped potential and enhancing overall functioning.

I am a mental counselor licensed in two states: TX and WA. I believe everyone has their own defined resiliency. Being resilient does not mean that people don’t experience stress, emotional upheaval, and suffering. My approach to counseling is focused on understanding a person holistically. I place a heavy emphasis on establishing a safe and collaborative relationship with all my clients; I provide each client with a safe, non-judgmental environment to express their issues and concerns. I hope to help people find their strengths and support them in their unique needs.
