Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Aloha! Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will meet you exactly where you are at and walk the therapeutic journey with you. The therapeutic journey is a relational one, and together we will discover or recover your essential self, so that you can be the best version of the largest vision you hold about yourself. My therapeutic style is casual yet professional, with plenty of laughter and space for tears.

I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like their emotions are out of control… they feel like they're on a treadmill, trying so hard but getting nowhere, relationships aren’t what they want them to be, maybe they don’t have enough energy to do things and rest isn’t restful. Or maybe it’s that they're not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

I am a geek, and a therapist. I work with individuals, couples and families and I specialize in working with geeks, gamers, and people who work in the tech industry. If you're struggling in your relationships with your partner/family members, or simply feeling anxious or sad and you're not sure why, I can help. We can work together to find the tools and strength that you need to create positive change. I often help people with social skill growth, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, grief, and communication. At this time I am only providing teletherapy services and not in-person services.

Micaela is a passionate, empathetic therapist whose approach is based in collaboration, humor, and the therapeutic relationship. As a multi-racial, cis-gender woman, and AuDHD human, Micaela strives to utilize her privilege to advocate for changes in oppressive systems while also understanding the difficulties one can face. Micaela understands the importance of tackling the intersectional identities of those with whom she works. She strives to practice therapy in a compassionate manner and to practice critical self-awareness, through eliciting feedback throughout the therapeutic process.

I can help you overcome feelings of overwhelm and defeat you're experiencing at work, relationships, and self-regulation; let me show you that it gets better. In therapy, we will tend to old wounds, repair ruptures in relationships with self and others, and increase self-understanding. I'm here to help you work through past traumas and rebuild a life worth living. I am AAPI and LGBTQ-aligned and strive to center and elevate those communities. I do my best work with clients struggling with issues of complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, perfectionism, self-esteem, multicultural/identity, and minority stress.

Welcome to my practice. I know that taking the first step to therapy can be scary. I want to create a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable opening up and exploring what issues are bringing them in to therapy. I have experience working with a wide variety of clients from many different backgrounds. I enjoy getting to know the client as an individual and use a wide range of techniques specific to that individual. I want my clients to feel secure and know that they are not being judged in my presence. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of my clients and helping them achieve their goals.

While open to working with all individuals ages 12 and older, I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults; seeing how self-exploration and skill-building in such formative years can improve relationships, school performance, self-efficacy and overall mental health is truly amazing to see.

My therapy practice is centered in helping people discover the strength they already have, but have been struggling to use. Therapy can be useful for anyone, but sometimes finding the strength to seek out help can be the hardest part. I use a non-judgemental, empathetic, and casual approach with my clients to meet them wherever they are in their lives. Together, we establish goals and solutions. I work with those who are struggling with self-expression and effective communication as well as those who are having difficulty with identity exploration within and outside of relationships.

My aim is to help those clients who want to use therapy for insight, self-exploration, healing and personal growth. My theoretical approach is holistic and relational, which means - together, we can explore the ways in which your personal history and learned habits may still be influencing your emotions, coping patterns and behaviors -- ultimately affecting your sense of self. Together we’ll sort out your feelings so that you can more fluidly access your innate capacity for compassionate self-care. I encourage a mindfulness focus to engage your “in-the-moment” experience. Our therapeutic connection can serve as a rich resource.

I believe that life is a journey and everybody is just trying to figure out their own course. Each person has their own path and my goal is to walk with you along that path. I am chronically curious and will use that to help you explore where you come from as well as where you want to go. I have experience working with anxiety disorders, major depressive disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, conduct disorders, behavioral ussies, and eating disorders. I work with youth and adults up to 30 years and children age 4-7. I am LGBTQ+ allied and use culturally sensitive practices.

Did you know that a secure attachment to at least one primary caregiver during the first few years of life is one of the biggest predictors of long-term social and emotional well-being? I am passionate about helping young children (ages 0-6 yrs) and their caregivers form secure attachment relationships by way of safety, security, and connection. As an Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Therapist, the relationship between the caregiver and child is my client - where I work to hold both the caregiver’s worldview and the young child’s worldview in mind, tending to the social-emotional needs of both caregiver and and child.

I am extremely passionate about supporting your process through providing a safe and inviting experience that goes at the pace in which you feel most comfortable and tailors to your specific needs. I am also an avid believer in empowering individuals to feel self-sufficient through the process of recognizing your own strengths, allowing those strengths to expand and grow, and gain tools that you will be able to internalize and apply outside of our sessions to help you with your everyday life.

I am an insight based therapist and believe that so much of therapy is about connecting important dots and understanding how they inform our own origin stories. I honor the therapeutic relationship and what it means to support clients at their pace as they work through their own therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a space for people where they can more deeply understand themselves and the relationships around them; understand how the various spheres of influence (e.g., family or origin, religious upbringing) can shape our thoughts/beliefs in the present, as well as gain clarity on the direction they want to go in the future.

Navigating life is hard, especially during a pandemic. My clients often come to me facing challenges navigating life and trying to manage things like anxiety, stress, substance use issues, and relationships. Perhaps you've tried a variety of ways to help but nothing seems to be working. Maybe traditional methods of recovery haven't worked for you and you are looking for another approach to managing your substance use. You can expect us working together in sessions to develop realistic and attainable goals; things that you would like to see change in your life. Let me help you get there!

Being a young person in this day and age can be challenging. It can also be exciting and enjoyable if you have the right tools and support in your corner. The clients I work with (15-30) typically come to my doorstep with a sense of being out of control of their inner and outer worlds. They may be struggling with OCD, eating and body image issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, schoolwork and family issues.

Hello there, and thanks for taking the time to look at my profile! Since a young age, I have been passionate about mental health, mindfulness, and becoming the best possible therapist for my clients. I've started my own private practice called Annette's Mindful Therapy Practice (PLLC). Currently I work with Mindful Therapy Group, and Talkspace. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and answering any questions you may have!

I enjoy helping couples, families and individuals in working on relationship issues and concerns in a wide variety of areas these may be facing or dealing with. Some of the issues I can help with include depression, anxiety, health and medical problems, grief, loss, transitions, adjustment, self-esteem, troubled/at-risk youth or children, marriage and couple relationship issues, step-families, relationship concerns, sexual issues, teen concerns, child development, sibling and extended family concerns, and more. I work with clients on their issues and help them attain their goals. I focus on strengths, successes, emotions, thoughts and feelings in helping them.

My passion is helping and empowering others to build self-confidence and create their own path and journey in life. Herd path term means when hikers create new paths and maintain those trails. Life's main trails and paths don't always bring us happiness. I am trained and experienced in many holistic therapeutic approaches to guide and help you toward your goals in therapy. www.herdpathcounseling.com

** My practice is currently closed to new clients.** I work with individual adults providing psychotherapy. My practice is focused on those with worries, fear, low energy, sadness, irritability, a lack of confidence, as well as parenting, relationship, and medical issues. As you consider therapy, you may feel overwhelmed or uncertain. I offer a compassionate, caring, and respectful relationship. In the safety of this relationship, we will explore the changes you would like to make and I will assist you in making them happen.
