Therapists in Auburn, WA

Let's get you out of crisis mode and back to the life you deserve! Whether you are going through a transitional phase in your life, taking your relationship to a new level, needing to work on said relationship, or just feeling lost or overwhelmed in your life and in need of something - I am here to walk alongside you and help guide you through it.

You’d give anything to save your relationship, no? But you also want to be happy. And maybe you're not sure anymore if you can have both. If you’re like most couples you’ve been trying to make things better, but nothing so far has worked. Frequent conflict and communication breakdowns erode your hope and drain your energy. You may be wondering if your relationship can even get better at this point. But that you're here tells me you're not ready to give up, and that alone means there is hope. Helping couples save and transform their relationship is my passion, and if you're willing to do your part, I'd be honored to support you.

I am a queer feminist licensed marriage and family therapist associate. I show up to my sessions as an authentic, plant loving, halloween enthusiast. In our work together we will explore and identify those themes in your life that may not serve who you are now. We live in a society with social constructs that people struggle with, Particularly my clients who are LGBTQIA+, and sex positive. I help separate you from the stories that are having a negative impact. What are these stories? My work, education, and passion center around finding out what those what those themes and stories are to help you work towards your goals.

Welcome! I work with children, adolescents, and adults. When working with clients, I am sensitive to how oppression impacts mental health and hinders our ability to find our place in the world. Some issues we can explore together include: LGBTQ issues, traumatic experiences, coming out, family of origin, depression, anxiety, and building shame resilience. I provide affirmative counseling for trans* and gender queer clients. I believe that therapy should be a choice and I do not view gender dysphoria as a mental health issue. I help explore how rigid gender roles negatively impact us all.

My number one goal as a therapist is to establish a trusting and respectful relationship with my client(s). Your trust in me is my genuine priority. I work with adolescents (14+), individuals, families and couples. I am a trans and LGBTQIA+ affirming Therapist. I believe that the mind and physical body are intrinsically connected, and that mental health is the loving balance between the two. Finding that balance looks different for every individual and relationship. When you come into this therapeutic space it is my intention to meet you where you're at, not where you think you should be.

Are you LGBTQIA, Straight, Gender Non-Conforming or Cisgender and between the ages of 10-50? Then I want to hear from you. You will receive a very laid back, casual and personable approach to individual therapy. The therapy will be gender affirming and welcoming to all.

To everyone that knows you – you’ve got it all together. But to be honest, the unresolved pain of past trauma negatively affects your mind, body, and overall well-being. Years of unresolved issues make you feel tired, overwhelmed and exhausted. You’re not sure how long you can keep up the facade. Perhaps you have been living up to other people’s expectations in addition to your own, and the load feels heavy.

I am committed to providing respectful and client-centered counseling. My approach is a good fit for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, relationship issues, low-self esteem, grief, PTSD, OCD, daily stress, and phobia. Over 27 combined years of experience in my pastoral care and mental health counseling profession, I have worked with a diverse group of individuals and couples of various ages, cultures, ethnicities, racial identities, and socioeconomic statuses.

I am a practicing licensed marriage and family therapist. For the past 10 years I have worked in the crisis mental healthcare system. There I encountered clients at some of the worst times in their lives. I created a space and container for them to be in the moment. To be messy, to be where they were at that stage of discomfort, and be able to sit with that. I worked with some of the world's most marginalized and disenfranchised populations who were in a constant struggle of survival with a system that was deliberately built against them.

I believe in empowerment and expanding our strengths, which we may not always know we have. The therapeutic process can be difficult and I strive to provide a safe space for comfort, insight, and positive changes to occur. Each session is structured around your needs--your personal experiences and how you choose to express them are what make these sessions unique from others. You should not feel as if you have to struggle alone or come up with the solutions by yourself. I will help guide you through this journey to achieve the emotional well-being you deserve.

Life can be overwhelming, and it can feel like your life is spinning out of control. Counseling is a way to work through life challenges in a safe and confidential way. Finding the right counselor and the therapy that fits you and your life is an important step. My goal is to co-create with you a trusting relationship and a safe space for you to experiment with and experience the growth and changes you are seeking. You can gain perspective, reclaim your strengths, understand why certain patterns arise and help change those patterns.

My lived experience and training merge to create a helpful skillset that has a positive impact on my work. The clients who most benefit from my style of work are people who want to work through family dynamics: past, present, and future. They are wanting to understand deeply who they are by exploring their beliefs and patterns of behavior, in order to choose consciously how they want to move forward in their life.

Welcome to my practice! My goal is to provide you with evidence based psychological treatments/techniques to help you reach your goals, reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. In addition to having received training in treating a wide-range of problems from world-renowned treatment centers, I enjoy infusing my work with compassion, humor, and kindness in an effort to provide you with the highest standard of care. Please visit my website to see if we might be a good fit (www.angeladavisphd.com) or contact me with any questions.

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” ― Brené Brown. Whether you are coming to therapy on your own to work on building healthier connections in life, or coming as a couple trying to find one another again- I've got you. My focus is supporting those who are ready and willing to do the work of upleveling their relationships, healing attachment wounds, and developing more balance between autonomy/self belonging and connection.

Currently accepting new clients. So many people today are walking around, suffering in silence, beset with doubt, self-loathing, and self-recriminations. Especially now, as so many are being told their country is against them, self-compassion and self-love are very important pieces in our armor against the onslaught of negativity. A piece many are missing. I'd like to help you find it. Come to a place where you are seen and heard for who you are, without having to explain or defend your identity, lifestyle, or sexuality. Come laugh, come cuss, come cry. We can do this.
