Regence Therapists in Burien, WA
You’ve done therapy, read the books, and understand yourself—but in the moments that matter, you still react the same way. You’re doing all the “right” things, but it’s not working the way it should.
You already know yourself well. Insight is valuable—but it doesn’t always change what happens in the moment.

When we feel that we belong to the world, then we can move through it with confidence and courage, open to growth and happiness. There are plenty of things to worry about as a kid, and today’s culture does not necessarily make it easier. But children do not have to go at it alone! Feelings of despair, loneliness, and inauthenticity are completely normal for many kids and young adults. No one lives alone with these feelings, even though it may feel this way. Through a genuine counseling relationship, kids can begin to believe much deeper in their strengths than in their shortcomings.

Are you feeling "stuck", disconnected, or having trouble with stressors in your life? When we are stuck it changes the way we think about ourselves and how we view the world around us. This can lead to feeling disconnected. Every person can experience blind spots in the narrative they tell themselves, this can create challenges in our relationships with our "favorite people." I invite you, your partner, or children a safe space to reconnect with yourself and / or those around you. Together we will work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote healing. I am accepting new clients and work with Mindful Therapy Group.

Life can feel overwhelming when emotions run deep and relationships become strained. Anxiety, depression, and past wounds can make it hard to connect with others and find peace within yourself. I believe in the healing that happens when we share our stories and experiences with one another in order to grieve the past, accept the present, and voice hope for the future. We will explore how your past impacts your relationships and current life circumstances. I will work with you, your children, or your family to develop coping skills and self-compassion, approaching our work with empathy and care.

I believe in tailoring the therapy to meet each client's individual needs. I primarily use psychodynamic therapy which helps the client gain self-insight but also use a variety of therapeutic techniques including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral methods. Being able to stand back from one's self and gain perspective about one's personality, choices and actions are important in helping an individual work through issues. I help the client explore what issues from the past or present may be contributing to depression or anxiety.

As a systemic therapist, I believe in the exploration of all cultural and societal messages, norms, and values that have shaped my clients into who they are today. Making the brave decision to begin therapy is often preceded by many obstacles and challenges, and it is important to me to take the necessary time to walk through clients' stories and reflect on their experiences. I work to create a safe, trusting, and open environment where my clients and I can exchange constructive feedback. I believe that the therapy room is a space for emotional vulnerability, reflection, and growth.

Hi there, I'm Mandy! As an Empath, I utilize my radiant energy and insight to connect with those cultivating their authentic self. I enjoy being a gentle guide and empathic witness for people on their journey of being more expansive, awakened, and connected to their whole being. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic Approach to gently rewiring patterns - shifting perception through the lens of neuroplasticity. Then I begin gently weaving in Somatic Mindfulness combined with a trauma-informed lens to heal from the inside out.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. Panic that hits without warning. Trauma that shows up in your body before your mind can even name it. Anxiety that convinces you something is always about to go wrong. Maybe you've tried to push through, to stay strong, to function — and you're exhausted. I work with adults who are done white-knuckling it through their own mental health. Whether you're a veteran processing what service asked of you, a new parent drowning in unexpected anxiety, or someone who's just finally ready to address what's been underneath — you deserve care that actually meets you where you are.

Anxiety is awful. Most people just do not understand how difficult it is to live with chronic worry, panic attacks, or obsessive thoughts and unwanted behavior. Gladly, most people will never have to know how horrible it is to have nagging obsessive thoughts, or fear panicking in public places. The variety of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) like Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are quite effective in increasing distress tolerance, reducing anxiety, and eliminating the dysfunctional behaviors that accompany it.

At its core, I believe therapy is an opportunity to process and understand our past while also growing into the people we want to be. Life can be so brutal and complicated; we deserve a safe place to talk and explore! I believe that life throws us curve balls and everyone, at times, needs some assistance in learning to cope effectively. It is so vital to recognize that you have incredible value and are capable of conquering your hardships. I strive to maintain a safe, comforting, and trusting environment to do that exploring.

I see a wide range of clients, although I specialize in relationships, anxiety, frustration, ADHD, and problems with focus and motivation. I see both couples and individuals, as well as adolescents.

I've helped countless clients move from a place of feeling stuck and dissatisfied, to one of happiness and flourishing. I offer both short-term counseling (8-10 weeks) and long-term counseling. I also offer coaching related to focus and motivation.

During periods of anxiety and depression we frequently feel a sensation like being paralyzed, of being stuck. At other times the world around us can feel like it is changing too quickly. This can be due to transitional periods, such as a graduation, new marriage, new baby, divorce or retirement; or due to national and global transitional periods, such as politics, the economy, or climate change. Brief periods of anxiety and depression are normal reactions when they are brief, but the feeling of being stuck or being overwhelmed can become the foundation of our existence, impacting our minds, our bodies and our relationships

Do you feel stuck, even though you’re doing all the “right” things? Often, how we show up in the world reflects how we learned to survive in it. Deep down, we all want to feel seen, heard, and valued—but beliefs that we’re unworthy or “not enough” can leave us anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll begin to notice, challenge and heal those old messages so you can reconnect with your most authentic, grounded self. Our work is about returning home to yourself—to a place of authenticity, self-compassion, and connection—so you can move through life with greater ease, confidence, and a renewed sense of belonging.
