Therapists in Castle Rock, WA

Hello and thank you for reading! I am accepting new clients of all ages who are seeking virtual therapy anywhere in the state of Washington. I often work with queer and trans clients and those struggling with complex trauma. I am experienced in working with neurodivergent clients, teens and young adults, polyamorous clients, and formerly incarcerated folks.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

I work with Adults and youth (+13) and thrive most when I am serving queer and trans communities and black and brown communities. My hope is to support folks process different struggles coming up in their lives. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming mental health therapy and I bring an afrocentric perspective into my work as a way to work towards decolonizing our minds and bodies in the way we think. I provide support around topics such as anxiety, depression, trauma, race, gender, sexuality, navigating relationships, navigating interpersonal conflicts, and life changes.

My healing work emphasizes mind, heart, and body balance. I can assist you in the understanding of your own complex internal worlds, relational dynamics, work sagas, or developmental and inter-generational trauma. You can disrupt unwanted patterns and improve communication in your relationships and expressions via diverse interventions from a synthesis of modalities and practices, we will practice these skills together. You are the expert of your experience, I will support you in trusting and loving yourself. With curiosity and compassion, therapy can empower you and help you gain more from life.

I offers wholistic mental health care, including medication management, mindfulness therapy and ketamine therapy. I partner with clients to explore who they are in part by looking at the stories they have formed about themselves and their experiences. Our work together may include learning coping skills, identifying personal narratives and limiting beliefs, normalizing challenging experiences, understanding and accepting our different "parts", working with the somatic experiences of our emotions, building a supportive spiritual practice, etc. I believe in the thoughtful use of medications to support this work.

I am a trauma-informed practitioner and have experience working with adults and elders on a variety of concerns, including life transitions and stress, traumatic experiences, toxic and abusive relationships, chronic illness and disability, gender, sexuality, anxiety, and depression. As a person-centered practitioner, I believe that recovery is possible and that you know yourself best. I work to create an environment of unconditional acceptance as we work together to explore what's unresolved, unbalanced, and causing pain in your life. I draw from several evidence-based practices to provide individualized treatment to every client.

I’m a queer, mixed-race (SE Asian & Hispanic), neurodivergent, nonbinary femme passionate about helping clients access their creative healing energy to best help clients engage in authentic living and loving with themselves, others, and the world around them. I believe healing exists on a spectrum and hope to help clients find deeper understanding and healing through authentic connection, curiosity, and conversation. My approach is non-judgmental, non-linear, client-centered, educational, trauma-informed, and intentional. I offer an intersectional, anti-oppressive, holistic, and creative experience in therapy.

I have 12 years of experience in social services. I specialized in supporting folks who are navigating life transitions, Identity, gender and sexuality exploration of self/loved ones, chronic illness, workplace challenges, survivors of trauma, and those who want to understand how to make adaptations in their lives to support their neurodiversity. My therapeutic approach is relational, collaborative and strengths based. My ideologies are grounded in: social justice, fostering resilience, somatics, black feminist theory, queer theory ecological systems theory, a health at every size model, and trauma informed practice.

I believe in honoring your intersecting identities and how they contextualize your experience. As a multicultural/mixed Asian American (Korean/Filipino/white), highly sensitive, queer femme, the question of how to navigate life in the duality has perpetually challenged and inspired me throughout my life, delivering me to this work. I'm passionate about working with clients of marginalized gender, sexuality, and racial identities who are exploring their truths related to culture, race, generation, and queerness. I hope that together we can explore the important intersection of personal transformation and social change.

I believe every person is creative, worthy, and capable if given the right support and care. My clients are often queer or trans, many identify as disabled or chronically ill, and most of them have experienced trauma throughout their lives. Many of my clients also identify as neurodivergent and want to understand how to work with their brains more effectively without judgment. Most of my clients have been taught that their body-minds are inconvenient, shameful, or difficult.

Anyone willing to be curious about their experience is welcome at my practice. I offer gender diverse, multi-racial, neurodiverse, and non monogamous people space to process their experiences of marginalization and complexity. Together we can make meaningful change by centering your goals, understanding trauma, and building resilience from the container of our therapy relationship.

I am a bicultural and a bilingual immigrant therapist with a passion for supporting and empowering people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups, and my personal and professional goals include disrupting the oppression and creating an equitable and safe world for all. I practice under ACT and Person-Centered framework, and value establishing a therapeutic relationship that's based on trust, which is safe and warm to hold your emotions and experiences--I believe in the uniqueness for every client, and am dedicated to view the development of each client which is reflective of your own goals and values.

Hi! I'm currently accepting new clients! My name is Tally (she/her), I’m a queer white trans woman therapist in so-called seattle, washington on Occupied Duwamish Lands. I work to create gender-affirming, trauma-informed care for teens + adults under a liberation framework. I approach my work shaped by mutual aid and anti-imperialist organizations. Abolition and Decolonization are deeply structured parts of my work here and elsewhere. Sliding Scale available!

You might be ready for a change, but you’re feeling frozen. You might be struggling with bad memories, but worry that addressing them might mean you have to relive them. You might want to express your needs, but you don’t know how to say it or feel shut down. When I started therapy as a client years ago, my thoughts were: how will I tell a stranger about my personal life? What if they’re secretly judging me? Can I be helped? What if there’s just something wrong with me? These thoughts about therapy are totally normal. We will go at your pace in this process, I won’t judge you, and believe that there is nothing wrong with you.

You are ready to stop patterns that involve giving your power away. You are looking for more fulfillment in life and are ready to reclaim your authentic self. You are tired of feeling like everything else comes before your dreams, goals, empowerment and mental health. You who want to learn how to build more loving awareness and compassion towards yourself in order to support your best life. You are interested in learning more about what makes you who you are, how to shift out of unhealthy beliefs and figure out what’s holding you back from securing happiness and abundance for yourself. Resonate? Then, let's work together.

Do you feel isolated? Do you simultaneously want connection and feel that you have a hard time trusting people and opening up to them? Do you have a tendency to intellectualize your problems? Is it sometimes hard for you to feel your feelings? When you do feel them, do you often feel sad or anxious but are usually able to redirect and feel “fine”? Do you cope by focusing on external goals and hobbies? Do you wish that you could feel a deep and lasting sense of security, peace, and belonging?

I work with people who often feel a lack of connection with their life and what connection they do have doesn't always feel authentic or free in their expression. This can show up in diagnosis and symptoms such as anxiety, depression, OCD, dissociation, difficulty managing ADHD, and complex trauma. Many of my clients have experienced some kind of loss at an early age through either death, illness/hospitalization, divorce, or other means. Whatever kind of loss they experienced it may have resulted in a form of early parentification ie. a lot of independence and responsibility at a very young age.

As a queer, neurodivergent counselor, I believe that an individual's identity is integral to the therapy process. I understand that each person has a unique perspective, shaped by their experiences and intersecting identities. My goal is to empower emerging adults by collaborating to share knowledge, reframe negative internalizations, and foster self-congruence. My theoretical orientation is primarily trauma-informed and person-centered, influenced by feminist and civil rights leaders. My approach is integrative, holistic, and process-focused, in service of identifying pragmatic, achievable solutions.

Thank you for visiting my page. I mostly work with folx with marginalized identities through relational/developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions, numbness/disconnection, history of abuse, and interpersonal/attachment issues. If you are struggling to find your place within the dominant culture and have realized that aspects of your identity exist in a state of 'in-between', you are not alone. Healing is possible. Here is a space to fully show up, explore your multitude, and heal.
