Therapists in Spokane Valley, 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.

My ideal client would be searching for a counselor who is genuine, empathetic, unconditionally holds them in positive regard, and can connect to their experiences. They would have a goal of learning new skills, working on behavioral and cognitive change, and are willing to look at multiple solutions to achieve their goals. They would want to strive for success as they see it and want support in removing any barriers for a better and healthier future.

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.

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.

Hi - I'm Alyxx. My pronouns are they/she. My ideal client is someone living on the fringes, someone who feels like they have never quite fit in with the thin/white/cis/het esthetic that is so predominant in our culture. If you are ready to do the work to change, I'm ready to walk that path with you!

Few things are worse than feeling stuck and struggling when it seems like everyone else has it all figured out. Life is complex and it's often hard to handle the situations we face each day. You have the right to heal and find hope! No matter what the challenges or life transitions you are currently facing, no one should have to go through it alone. I'd like to support you with the care, compassion, and empathy you deserve.

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.

Please note: My practice is current full and I'm not accepting new clients on the waitlist. I love working with people navigating life changes. Transitions can bring up a lot of feelings, fears, memories of past experiences, or traumas - and through that struggle they can offer the opportunity for hope, excitement, joy, and new experiences. Together, we will tap into your strength and creativity so you're able to experience a sense of abundance in your options for change and make movement toward the life you want to be living.

Updated 2/19/24: My clients have come to me experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and many other presenting concerns. In therapy I strive to understand and clarify my clients' goals and help them work toward building insight around their concerns. You don't have to know exactly what your goals might be, and during our work you can always add or change goals. This is your treatment and my hope is that you take an active role in determining the direction and depth of the work that we do together. My hope is that we can end every session feeling that we have made progress.

Life is full of ups and downs. Thankfully, you don't have to go through it alone. When you are seeking support, it's important to know that you haven't failed and fallen short. There isn't anything to be ashamed of in having struggles. Humans are wired for support, relationships, and growth. Basically, we all need help sometimes. When you walk into my office, you can expect to be met with respect and compassion. We will work together to deepen your understanding of your struggles and strengths to empower you to live the life you want to live. I'll be with you in the downs and we will celebrate the ups.

The clients I work with are seeking to identify, self-determine, and develop processes to help them manage their struggles and issues. They utilize their natural supports, gifts, and graces to work toward their chosen goals and the changes they seek to make in their lives. Each human being is unique and their life experiences are unique to them. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and exist in a judgment free space when working on mental health or life challenges.

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.

NOT accepting new clients: First; HSC is a queer, trans, and neurodivergent safe space. Second, I want to help people heal from their trauma by utilizing EMDR or Flash. Most people struggle with symptoms they do not understand. I would love the opportunity to gently guide you through your healing journey. You are in charge. We go where you want to go.

You are an adult at a crossroads in your life and are looking for more intensive therapy than someone to talk to. You have experienced mis-attunements and/or trauma in your early life and have struggled to untangle the coping mechanisms that no longer work for you. Perhaps you don't know yourself or even know how to know yourself. Perhaps you just keep ending up in relationships that repeat past patterns no matter how hard you try not to. The idea of spending years in weekly therapy to get anywhere feels like too little. You need dynamic, change-oriented therapy that makes a difference quickly and offers more than just talking.
