You know there is more of who you truly are, under the surface, waiting to be unlocked. You sense that you have old beliefs or conditioning or fears, picked up from other people or culture, that hold you back from feeling truly open and free and comfortable with yourself. Yet, maybe you can't quite figure out how to break free from these feelings...from these limitations that you didn't ask for. There is nothing wrong with you. Things have just happened to you in life. If you're reading this, then perhaps you're at a place where you're ready to step more fully into your self...a place where there is more compassion and freedom.

Suffering the impacts of trauma, being entangled in a web of codependency, or sinking into stagnating depression, can cause marked distress and dysfunction in our daily lives. Sometimes our own attempts at self-medicating can further complicate matters. If we have experienced a significant loss, it may be hard to even imagine an end to the pain and it may be rather difficult to trust in any process of change. Fear and shame can often prevent us from reaching out, convincing us this is an unyielding fate.

Therapy can be a difficult journey that calls for us to be truthful and vulnerable. This can be difficult for many to achieve due to past trauma, previous unhealthy interactions, or defense mechanisms that we have created in order to get to the next moment. For the first stage of therapy, I work with clients to establish safety and improve emotional regulation skills. This is important because we need to stay in control of our body’s reactions when talking about situations that have played an impact on our lives in order to obtain safety.

I know how difficult it can be to take that first step in asking for help. It's okay if you don't even know what you need, as long as you recognize that what you're doing isn't working anymore. I'm here to help you figure out what you need and put together a plan that feels possible. What works for you may not be what works for someone else. Therapy is unique to each person and is driven by your individual needs, goals, and what we discover in our work together. Using your pacing and my integrative approach, we will find a customized treatment plan for you. I encourage you to include partners and family as support if you'd like.

Traverse Therapy Services is accepting new clients. My name is Ali. Do you have problems with your significant other, friends, or family? Do you feel a lack of motivation or confidence? Does it feel like your mind is constantly racing? Do you think a change is necessary to get back on track and feel like the person you want to be? These thoughts and feelings can sometimes leave us overwhelmed, confused, lethargic, and even hopeless. If you are having any of these thoughts or feelings, discussing them in therapy can help you become the person you want to be.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in the beautiful city of Olympia, Washington. I specialize in individual and relationship counseling with adults. I address areas of self-esteem; depression/sadness; stress/anxiety; PTSD; grief/loss (including the loss of a pet); and life transitions; as well as nurturing personal and spiritual growth. I think belief systems are the stories we tell ourselves to define our personal sense of reality. Each of us has a belief system that creates patterns of behavior--which can be positive or negative. My therapy approach is based in principles from:

You’ve probably already read books like The Power of Now, The Secret, and The Four Agreements but still feel a bit lost. You wake up in the morning, trudge through your day, do your best to get things done on your never ending list, just to have it start over again. You ask yourself questions like: What am I even doing? Where do I want to go? What do I want to be? What do I even want to do with my life? We’re all still constantly figuring it out and doing our best, but there are things we can do to better understand what it is we want to create so we can start actually manifesting the future we want into existence.

Depression. Anxiety. Trauma. Grief. If only we could just flip a switch to turn them off! Too often others say "You shouldn't feel that way" or "Get over it." No one chooses to be unhappy. And though there is no on-off switch for our thoughts and emotions, with the right help we can change rebuild our our lives so we are really living. Throughout my time in practice, I've found that what helps most is warmth, respect, careful listening and a collaborative approach that fits the treatment to the person.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
