We are accepting new clients! My name is Else Trygstad-Burke and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State and hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University. I work with clients of all ages, including children and families. My goal as a therapist is to help clients develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate and overcome the many challenges that can arise throughout the lifespan. My practice is trauma-informed, affirming, and inclusive for clients of all backgrounds and identities.

I specialize in working with clients who are seeking support with life transitions, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, and self-esteem. As an athlete and former professional cellist, I also have training and experience working with athletes and performers of all ages and abilities on issues of performance anxiety and injury recovery.

I aim to make my counseling practice into a welcoming and safe space for all clients. I believe that the power to heal and grow is already there for each individual - my role is to walk alongside you as you discover it!

Healing Through Creative Expression

Hosted by

Else Trygstad-Burke

Looking for a powerful and creative way to process emotions, build insight, and feel seen—without needing to find the “perfect” words? Our Sandtray Therapy Group, led by Raquel Sadler, provides a safe, expressive space where you can use miniatures, sand, and metaphor to explore your inner world and connect with others on a deeper level. This group is ideal for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges. No artistic skill is required—just openness to exploration.
