Christian Therapists in Medina, WA
I aspire to work with people who are feeling emotionally bottled up and struggling to find a place to express their heavy thoughts and feelings. Whether that be an anxious thought that leaves a person feeling on edge, a depressive mood that leaves a feeling of little to no motivation/joy, or maybe something in between. I want to create an environment that is safe to express thoughts and feelings that are difficult to confront and develop new ways to navigate those situations.

Hi, I'm Marcia (Marcie), licensed therapist in Washington and Montana. I bring warmth, compassion, and lived experience to our sessions. My therapy style is conversational, collaborative, and centered around your strengths and goals. I’ve worked with people ages 2 to 93 and specialize in trauma, parenting, prenatal substance exposure, depression, and aging. As a physically disabled therapist, former CASA, and parent to eight children (four adopted), I understand how hard life can be—and how powerful it is to feel seen, heard, and supported in a space built just for you.

Dealing with life’s challenges sometimes feels like being trapped in quicksand—the harder you fight to get out of it, the deeper you sink. Exhausting, right?

You want to get out of this rut to find fulfillment and happiness but are unsure how. The good news is: you can figure it out, understand yourself better, and reach your dream goals— and I’m here to guide you on that road.

You’re tired of holding it all together—maybe you’re anxious, burned out, stuck in negative patterns, or just feeling off and not sure why. You want more than just coping—you want real change.

With over 15 years of experience as a therapist—and almost a decade spent on the frontlines as a first responder and hospital worker—I personally understand how trauma and chronic stress can shape your life. With EMDR and other effective tools, I help clients move out of survival mode and into a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected.

I specialize in EMDR Processing and work with trauma survivors. I'm a survivor of trauma and I know the truth is ugly. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s often times scary.

I also specialize in Christian Counseling with a strong biblical, spirit lead approach for those who are looking for a faith based approach.
Are you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Sometimes life brings us to a place where we need to reach out and find help. If this is you, I would love to partner with you and help you find the solution that best fits your needs. Healing starts with connection and finding the space for yourself to discover what is happening within yourself. Counseling is most effective when there is a connection with your therapist while discovering the triggers, patterns, and thoughts that often interrupt your quality of life.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck—like you need change but nothing you've tried has worked so far. You’re overthinking, feeling stuck, struggling to focus, and running on empty. Maybe you’re facing a divorce, major life change, or relationship stress. From the outside you might look “fine,” but inside you feel disconnected, irritable, lost, or scared. You’re tired of pushing through and wondering why you still feel this way, even when you're self aware and doing your best to cope. You want clarity, calm, and real support to help you feel like yourself again.

We work with people who feel like they’re constantly on edge, snapping at loved ones, struggling to sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Many say they feel sad, angry, or just lost—but don’t know how to fix it.
We use evidence-based methods like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and hypnotherapy, to name a few, to help process emotions and trauma and reduce symptoms like panic, nightmares, and emotional reactivity. We also teach practical tools to manage anxiety, improve communication, and regulate strong feelings—especially in the heat of the moment.

Do you ever feel like you can't find peace? Stress and anxiety are challenges on their own. When they begin to impact other parts of our lives and lead to chronic health conditions, life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it can feel as though there is never time to rest, or maybe you've forgotten what rest even feels like. If that's the case, you're not alone. The pace of our modern world is not in alignment with how our nervous systems are built to function. That's why I specialize in nervous system regulation and helping individuals to cultivate resilient and adaptive nervous systems.

Therapy works best when it's built on genuine connection, not just technique. I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and psychosis, offering a deeply relational and trauma-informed approach rooted in safety and authenticity.
My specialties:
• Psychosis & Schizophrenia Spectrum
• Dissociation & DID
• Complex Trauma & PTSD
• Moral Injury
• Veteran Transition
People come to me when they're carrying something too heavy to think about clearly. I provide a steady, containing presence, and a mind that can hold you're experiencing. We build safety first, then develop language for what hasn't been named yet.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
