Therapists in Olympia, WA

When your brooding, moody teen just won't listen and your partner isn't much help either, what's a stressed out, overwhelmed parent like you to do? Pick up the phone and give me a call. Why? Because even though arguments and communication conflicts can make it feel like your family members are from an entirely different planet, there really are some secrets to bring peace, calm, and order to the chaos. I help parents and partners find real solutions to the angry glares, the eye rolls, the slammed doors, and the stone-cold silences.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and couples, especially those who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, to access their innate healing power, reclaim ancestral knowledge, and achieve their vision of wellness. I practice with the beliefs that everyone is the expert of their own story, and have the power to heal themselves under the right circumstances. I provide support to those ready to process and work through past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, spirituality, identity struggles, multicultural experiences.

We are accepting new clients! My name is Kailah Nettle. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and I graduated from Saint Martin's University with my Masters in Counseling Psychology. I have a wide range of expertise providing trauma informed counseling for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.

I believe that we are each created to live a life full of hope, to be deeply connected to others through relationship, and live in restoration. However, during our journey through life, situations happen that strain our hope, relationships are broken, and restoration feels distant. My hope is that through therapy, you will begin to turn towards the future by looking at the past. While the journey may feel daunting, my desire is that together, we may find the path forward, one step at at time.

I offer a general counseling practice focusing on using personal strengths to untie psychological knots.

We are living in some challenging times. If you’re struggling, that means you’re human. Know that asking for help is a strength. My therapy is collaborative in nature. I treat a range of difficulties using a variety of techniques. I work from an attachment perspective that is emotionally focused. I believe therapy involves the presence of your entire being (mind/body/spirit). Ultimately, I believe human connection is one of the most important healing tools. Thus, I create a safe therapeutic environment where growth and discovery can flourish. I bring my full self to my work – my optimism, my directness, my persistence, my humor.

*Openings available now!* Get relief from Post-Traumatic and Acute Stress, anxiety, phobias, grief (and more) in one session with the use of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to make improvements in their lives.

I believe in empowering people to reach their full potential by providing services that are strengths-based, practical, holistic, and focused on promoting long lasting change. I work using a style of fostering trust and authenticity,starting where people want and ending when people feel their life and issues have changed and their happiness enhanced. I believe the relationship in counseling is the core issue in treatment. This is particularly important in working with children and adolescents where no work could be done without building a warm, honest, and caring connection. I believe healing comes through the mind, body, spirit connection.
