Teletherapy for Puyallup, WA

You're feeling overwhelmed, tired, maybe even frustrated at reaching your potential and dreams in life, including your relationships marriage, work, and friendships. You're feeling stressed, worried about life issues, and maybe issues of pain, grief, disappointment of the past play into your daily life. It is difficult to move forward, you struggle with being authentic in relationships. Stressed and exhausted. As a seasoned Mental Health Counselor of 25 + years, I consider it an honor to journey with you through the healing process. I am trained in EMDR to help with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, relationships.

I've found that true healing unfolds when we honor the whole person, and I'm here to help you do just that. My practice specializes in several areas, including PTSD, ADHD, adult autism, other neurodivergencies, whole body health, and self-improvement. I also see a lot of individuals who struggle with depression and anxiety. I understand that healing is a multi-dimensional process, and to truly thrive, we must address all aspects of ourselves. I'm dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for you to share your unique story. I am licensed in both WA and OR state.

Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.

Asking for help when you're stuck can be hard. If you're reading this, you're on your way to getting better. Whether you are experiencing severe anxiety, mild trauma symptoms, or just having difficulty making positive changes in your life, counseling can help. I provide telehealth therapy sessions (no in-person) for your convenience, to fit better into your busy life. Together we will find solutions, improve your overall health and self-esteem, and help you live the kind of life you are proud of. I provide consistent, non-judgmental support and I will keep your concerns confidential.

I am currently accepting new clients! When we accept ourselves we can more fully connect with others and enjoy being present in our daily lives. Would you like to treat yourself with loving kindness? To respond thoughtfully to others instead of reacting based on past experiences? I enjoy working with adult abuse survivors to develop self-compassion and explore issues related to childhood and relational trauma. If you would like to learn to nurture and care for yourself, to find acceptance and peace I can help!

Life is a journey. We follow a path and sometimes there are things that get in the way, and we start to feel stuck in old patterns/habits, picking unhealthy relationships, and/or we just can't understand why we are unhappy, especially when we have done all the 'right' things. Talking about where we want to go with a therapist and finding different ways to challenge and change those old coping mechanisms and learn to get 'unstuck', with CBT, DBT, and/or EMDR can be helpful. I enjoy working with people to process trauma, tackle anxiety issues, and navigate relationships.

In a world that can often feel heavy with forces pushing and pulling us downward in so many directions it can feel all too easy to lose track of your true self. Feeling confused and asking how did I get here? Or why me? Or, I just want to get back to myself, but I don’t even know who I am anymore. You are not alone and there is a way. I work with individuals who struggle with these same questions. Questions that arise from the struggles with trauma, anxiety, depression, attention, autism, and others. My counseling services focus on addressing the integrated person.

“There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet.” - Matt Haig. So very often, we find ourselves facing the word "should". Who I "should" be, where in life I "should" be, what I "should" be able to do. Whether you are just learning who you are for the first time, or are in a place of transition in your life, the process can be very difficult and can often leave us feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood, and in the need of support.

Hi, I’m Sabrina McAllister, I am a LICSW. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, abuse, and violence. I have been an emergency room social worker for the last 10 years, and I had the privilege of working closely with first responders/ medical staff and witnessing their resilience and strength. The demands of their profession can take a toll on their mental and emotional well-being. It is honor to support them through their unique challenges. I'm here to help you heal from trauma, reclaim your power, and live a fulfilling life.

Emotions and significant life stressors can leave a person feeling stuck or helpless. Finding a safe place to process emotions and address questions of shame, normalcy, and acceptance can be challenging. Without being able to process emotions and trauma, we can get stuck while the emotions stay in our bodies. Processing emotions not only provides mental relief, but can also transform a person’s connectedness to their bodies and relieve some physical manifestations of stressors. I hope to help people find hope which allows space for life to be messy and things to still be okay.
