Teletherapy for Washington

I have immediate availability! Are you a parent who feels at a loss for how to help their child? I offer emotional regulation skills for the child, and effective parenting skills for the parent. Are you ethically non-monogamous? Are you wanting to open your relationship? Do you need extra support navigating polyamory? I offer years of experience and knowledge to help you navigate this sometimes tricky relationship dynamic. Are you in the LGBTQIA+ community? Are you struggling with issues of self-worth or internalized oppression? I strive to help you discover your value and work on helping you love exactly you.

I’m a queer trauma family therapist with a background based in research & evidence based practice. I provide support for kids, adults & caregivers in transition & needing support with life’s many challenges. I specialize in skill building for friendships, trans affirming treatment, emotional dysregulation, confidence, general anxiety & grief. My goal is to provide a space for adults, parents & children to engage in therapy to promote strong bonds within the self & community, and become a self-sufficient unit outside of my care. I look forward to connecting with you and/or your kid!

As a human who is part of the LGBTQ and neurodivergent community, I dedicate myself to providing a safe, relatable space, to sit with our vulnerabilities, engage in real communication and experience positive growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, communication struggles, self-esteem concerns, and so much more, I would love the opportunity to work with you.

I love to work with supervisees and mentees (supervision of supervision) as we grow, laugh, and learn together. The process of deepening knowledge, experience, and wisdom can be rewarding for both the supervisor and supervisee. I approach supervision and mentorship from a structural supervision perspective as I believe we all thrive with the right balance of structure and support. I use a good amount of humor and curiosity in my approach, as I believe the elements of fun, delight, and joy are important parts of the professional growth process. If we work together, you will be challenged and you will be uplifted.

I offer Individual, Couples & Relationship, and Children & Family Therapy in my practice. My work with you will be centered on supporting you in understanding your experiences and setting meaningful goals that feel right for your life. I am honored to be invited into a healing space with individuals, couples, and families. I know that the act of living is beautiful, difficult, amazing, and complicated. We will sit together in the difficult realities, the illuminating ‘ah-ha’ moments, and through the seasons of what it is to be alive. Come as you are and know I will show up as your advocate and collaborator in therapy.

No matter what you have experienced or where you’ve come from, you will find that you feel heard, seen, and understood in counseling with me. You, your child, and your family are all unique, and I provide a space in which uniqueness is celebrated and identified to further emphasize your areas of strength. Sometimes life makes us feel buried and we may not know how to find our way out. However, each of us possesses an amazing potential for resilience, healing, and growth. I offer a compassionate and authentic space where we can identify life’s challenges and stressors together. You do not have to do this alone.

Welcome to counseling; to be helpful lets regain access to inner wisdom for self advocacy through review of your strength base building practices by use of expressive arts therapy (life has been your stage), explore dreams (Adlerian therapies), explore play& traumas to connect with your inner child/teen or find your inner parent, track sensations with the mind, body and spirit for grounding purposes in our sessions. Welcome and thank you for adding me to your search!

Sometimes the family and/or relationship process breaks down and people feel stuck. Relationships require us to be close in some ways and apart in other ways. This helps people be authentic with themselves and trusting of each other. With this trust and authenticity, people develop a new process for solving problems.

My practice specializes in gender identity development and sexual orientation. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults (as well as adults beginning to question their identity). Therapy focuses on anxiety management, gender dysphoria, coming out, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and the process of transitioning (if desired). Whether someone is exploring new feelings or has identified as LGBTQ+ for years, the challenges they face may bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, confusion, and even anger. Working with an experienced therapist trained in gender and sexual minority issues can help.

Change is hard. Many things in our lives make change easier or harder to get through. It's natural for change to make us struggle. During those times reaching out for support can help get you to where you want to go. Most people know what they want for their life and need some assistance recognizing the strength inside themselves.

As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside clients as we explore their unique experiences and struggles. I believe that people have innate creative abilities when it comes to healing and self-understanding. Sometimes stress and trauma can block or limit our ability to connect to that innate skill. I utilize relational and strengths-based approaches and support people’s understanding of their own self and path. My therapy background revolves around trauma, attachment, and growth in parenting/caregiving. I enjoy working with parents/caregivers of children with complex social, behavioral, relational, and developmental needs.

Currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be difficult, but I hope to help the process with warmth and humor when appropriate. I am excited to work with adults, elders, youth, and children who are wanting to find a way back to themselves. In therapy we might work on building skills, gaining knowledge, or talking about current or past difficulties and experiences. I have a sliding scale from 90$-125$ and can provide superbills to help the reimbursement process with your insurance company. I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will accept my superbill so please check with your provider.

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.

I work with a wide variety of folks who are experiencing mental health, trauma, family, and life related stressors. With experience supporting children ages 3 and up, teens, adults, and families I aim to provide holistic services meeting folks where they are at in their journey. My work includes providing affirming services for LGBTQ+ and Non-monogamous folks. I am skilled at providing services for neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic) folks aimed at increasing self-understanding and coping with the stressors of the outside world.

My ideal client would be one who is looking for someone to help them discover themselves and their potential and feel like something is holding them back. Those who have been told their emotions are “too big” or they're "too sensitive". I specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community with sex-positive guidance and gender-affirming care. I support caregivers with children with big behaviors, understanding LGBTQIA+ children, and special education services. I also specialize in ADHD, anxiety, and childhood trauma.

No matter the challenge, learning can (and should) work in harmony with each learners needs. If you're exhausted from endless IEP meetings and looking for a learning environment rooted in therapeutic MUSIC, creativity & joy, I'd love to work with your child! Together we can amplify their potential academically, socially, developmentally, expressively, and for their holistic wellbeing. I implement effective, evidence-based treatment to help them succeed in multiple facets of their life. Fostering an inclusive therapeutic learning environment is the heart of my practice.

Our lives are shaped by the stories that we carry with us. Healing begins when we can safely share them with others. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which we get to recontextualize those stories through truthful and empowering reframes. Therapy is best done when we can show up authentically. The therapeutic relationship is arguably one of the most important factors that determine success in therapy. For that reason, I strive to create a space where there is mutual respect, trust, and authenticity.

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.

I am a Relational Art Therapist. I graduated from Antioch University - Seattle in 2020 and I have been in private practice since then. I have been working with older teens and adults who have mental and physical disabilities for over 13 years. I focus on empowering clients through a strength-based approach and existential theory. I specialize in working with transgender and non-binary individuals as well as the wider LGBTQIA+ community. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who identify as neuro-divergent (including ADHD) and/or on the Autism spectrum. I am a poly-friendly, body positive, and BDSM/kink knowledgeable.
