Therapists in Cowiche, WA

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.

At my core, I am a relational therapist and do my best work with couples, non-monogamous romantic partnerships, and families of all forms, including co-parents who are no longer in romantic partnerships. I believe that systemic therapy is a way to create meaningful change and get unstuck from the patterns that no longer serve us.

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.

Dream Life Out Loud, PLLC, is a Black woman owned/led virtual mental health practice offering collaborative care across family systems - ranging from individuals, couples, youth, and families. We specialize in trauma-informed, evidenced-based, integrative approaches for healing, wellness, and fulfillment while serving a diverse range of clients from varying socioeconomic, racial, and other demographic backgrounds. The center of our work is advancement of holistic wellness; tapping into ancestral insights of power, spiritual attunement, and mental health approaches rooted in evidence-based research.

When engaging in therapeutic work I promise to show up with curiosity, respect, and a willingness to learn. When we are in session together, we are a team. Over the last five years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, recent trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. I have spent the last few years working with with individuals who had a very wide range of ages, mental health symptoms, life goals, cultural backgrounds, neurodiversities, and lived experiences.

If you are feeling lost, lonely, or disconnected from the world around you and are having difficultly finding the way forward, I am here to help. You may be desiring more confidence, ease, and connection in yourself and with others. Perhaps you seek more awareness of your patterns, needs, and desires in order to feel empowered to take action toward a life filled with purpose and meaning. I aim to help you develop harmony with your emotional self, build meaningful relationships, and find more freedom and fullness in life. I specialize in issues related to grief and loss, life transitions, gender, anxiety, and trauma.

Currently accepting new clients. I work with couples, polycules, new relationships, platonic life partners, families and groups. I am passionate about serving folks who are part of the LGBTQIA+ and poly/ethical non-monogamy communities. Living in a society that prioritizes profit over people and systematically privileges & oppresses based on identity takes a large toll. I believe therapy is a resource to help us navigate this world & be intentional about how we show up in ourselves and our relationships. My approach is to meet people where they are at and provide tools, resources, and practices to aid them in living authentically.

You are the authority on how you describe yourself or your experience; not me. Those who find the most success in our work together seek therapy that has a conversational tone rather than an evaluation. They are ready to address harmful experiences, establishing a path forward, while existing in a society that prioritizes individualism and profit. As a non-pathologizing provider, diagnoses will only be used when required and with your permission.

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.

As a queer therapist, I greatly honor and celebrate the uniqueness of our own life stories and personalities. The interventions I offer are carefully tailored to your concerns, needs, and personal style. I integrate empirically validated approaches with traditional therapy and metaphysical healing components. I provide a therapeutic presence that is grounding, nurturing, and sincere. Together, we will combine your own self-knowledge and life expertise with my clinical expertise. I will co-journey with you to explore the depths and peaks of your experiences, and to provide support and reminders of your greatness along the way.

My style in session is warm, collaborative, relational, and strengths-based. Values that inform my work are compassion and anti-oppression. Many of the clients I work with are seeking ways to strengthen their relationships, healing trauma, tending to anxiety, depression and neurodivergence, exploring identity (racial, gender, sexual, cultural etc.), softening perfectionism, and/or cultivating a stronger sense of self-worth. If you would like to learn more, I would be happy to schedule a complimentary consultation call where we can explore if we would be a good fit for what you are seeking.

As a therapist, I see my clients as the experts in their own lives. My role is akin to that of a guest—here to build upon the tools you already possess while introducing new ones that align with your life goals. I enjoy guiding clients through challenging life changes and helping them break patterns that no longer serve them. My experience primarily lies in working with teens and adults, including LGBTQIA+ youth and individuals with BIPOC identities.

Pull up a bean bag chair, grab your favorite fidget, and let's talk. Maybe you describe your life as "a lot," and struggle to find the spoons to get all your stuff done as well as make meaningful change. Maybe anxiety takes up so much space in your day that it leaves little room for the things you want. Maybe your story includes trauma, and that burden is getting so heavy, it hurts. You want to pursue fulfillment, satisfaction, meaning, and peace in your world. If any of these or other painful places in your heart are true, I would love to get a chance to walk alongside you and find what you're looking for together.

As a therapist, and human in general, I am passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. I believe that to be seen, heard, and accepted in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. An important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties.

I work with adults ages 18+ to provide support for anxiety, trauma, relationships, and LGBTQ+ identities. I work from an anti-oppression and social justice oriented framework, and my work with clients often focuses on themes of personal agency and empowerment, shame resolution, and self-acceptance. I enjoy supporting clients with issues related to burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma to live more authentically alignment with their values and to build stronger and more connective relationships with themselves and others.

As a queer therapist I understand the complexities surrounding the dynamics of coming out, starting hormones/ social transitioning, dating within a small community, and trying be queer in a world that isn't supporting you. For couples navigating your interpersonal relationship and the stresses that are compounded by your outside responsibilities is hard and often make conflict more difficult. As your therapist we can work on setting goals surrounding coming out, transitioning, relationship issues, and managing the anxiety, depression, and trauma that accompanies the minority stress and burn out in your life.

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.

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.

Hi there, I’m Maggie. If you are looking for a nurturing therapist who is genuine, wants the best for your unique life, and will challenge you towards deeper healing, we could be a good fit. I would love to support you as you begin to embrace your intersecting and unfolding identities. My specialties as a therapist include body liberation (Health At Every Size), life transitions, and exploration of self through a relational lens. My approach is centered within an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and liberatory lens. I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist, and I enjoy supporting folks with these shared identities.
