David decided to become a therapist after living and working in low-income communities throughout his life and witnessing the startling lack of mental health services for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized communities. David engages adult clients using warmth, humor, collaboration, and non-judgement to get to know each person as an individual and grow a strong therapeutic relationship. David supports clients as they gain insight, process trauma, and work to build healthier patterns, self- worth, communication, and relationships in their lives.

I help people overcome anxiety, stress and depression, and I work with individuals and couples to build stronger and healthier relationships. I see teenagers, adults, couples, and families. I work at uncovering and breaking unhealthy cycles, negative self-perceptions, and generational habits that get in the way of your happiness.

I believe that life can be so much more… and it is my hope that we can work together to rewrite your story and shift your perspective towards freedom and wholeness.

Hello, my name is Kelly Kaderlik. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find a counselor and the feelings that come with starting therapy. The fact that you are looking at this page now shows that you are ready and willing to make a change in your life, therapy is hard work, and the progress can feel slow sometimes but I will point out your strengths and accomplishments on our journey together.

I work with those who struggle with anger. Often times the anger is brought on by unmet expectations and merely a symptom of deeper issues under the surface. It's my job to metaphorically stand in a place you can not see, and point you in the right direction as to the cause of what is contributing to the anger. By doing so, you can receive insight that will enrich your life and change it for the better.

Seeking out counseling takes a lot of bravery, and I commend you for that. You may be struggling with how you show up in relationships, with the struggle of what it is like to align you identities with your existence in society, or feeling down, depressed, and anxious. You may feel lost and hopeless. You want to find a way to be satisfied with your life, who you are, and secure in your relationship, and I want to help you do that.

Life can be complicated and there are times when counseling offers us the space we need to explore challenges . Research shows that the most important factor in effective therapy is the connection between counselor and client. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your unique life experience and relationships and help you find what you need to move forward in a healthy and positive way. My practice is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your life. I hope to come alongside you to foster healing, change, and growth.

Sometimes in life, things don’t go as planned. I’m here to offer you support, acceptance, understanding, and encouragement. It can be stressful to adapt to change or loss. If you have experienced a broken relationship, job loss, financial or health issues, trauma, abuse, or the death of a loved one, you may be feeling anger, sadness, discouragement, hopelessness, isolation, depression, or anxiety. Or maybe you are in a rut in life and want to make changes or improve an important relationship but are struggling to do so. I would be honored to be an advocate for you and work together towards healing.

I am an WA and ID licensed therapist and here to help. Often, because of trauma and stress, we might consciously or unconsciously disown parts of ourselves. We might grow to view certain coping skills or patterns as “bad” when ultimately, they most likely served an important purpose in our lives. I aim to help my clients explore themselves, part by part, with gentle curiosity. Through using a variety of experiential approaches, we will work together to heal these pieces, allowing us to become more integrated, free, and whole. Every individual is the expert of their own life and is wise, intuitive, and has the capacity to heal.

Our work in therapy begins with a premise that I think you’re magic—every part of you, even the ones you’d like to keep tucked away. I hope to provide a space and a relationship where you feel safe and brave enough to bring all parts of yourself. I want to work with you to help you see that you have everything you need to be all that you already are. I will follow your lead and help you get to the heart of why you’re here, what has shaped you, and who you want to become. And I'll believe you at your word as we navigate each turn of your life experiences. I’m here to hold a mirror to you and help you find your way back to yourself.

Hello and thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Sean Trudeau, I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. In therapy sessions my aim is to create a working environment geared toward each individual's greatest benefit. Longitudinal research suggests, therapy is most effective when there is a strong connection between client and counselor. Therefore I uphold a safe environment for compassionate and respectful communication. In addition I utilize evidence based strategies to help clients build the specific skills and resilience necessary to overcome their personal challenges.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (with a doctorate from Columbia University) with over 40 years of practice experience with children, families, couples, and adults. My approach to our work is "psychodynamic" and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I am open to consultation, crisis intervention, short term therapy, and more intensive, insight oriented treatment. The "ideal client" is the one who is willing to work hard. So am I!

I assist clients in building skills and acquiring tools to align their life with their values and vision. I help clients identify their own strengths and wisdom to effectively face life's challenges, achieve goals and create lasting changes. I consider the social and cultural factors that impact each person's ways of being, how they are treated in this world, and how they adapt to difficult experiences. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, creative and hopeful space that is conducive to self-exploration and transformation.

I enjoy helping my clients find their unique strengths and building on them in a confidential and supportive setting. I feel it is important for people to gain understanding and insight into behavior patterns that are creating problems in life and learn how to change them. I also work with clients to enable them to find a satisfying work/life or school/life balance. I utilize cognitive behavioral and brief solution focused therapy.

I acknowledge that you are here to seek extra support in your life, and you don't have to do it alone. Maybe you lost a loved one, you are struggling with anxiety, you are exploring your gender identity, or you need help with navigating through life and its many other challenges. This can be difficult, and I am here to help support you and empower you on this journey. Additionally, I have a special interest in working with adolescent to adult clients dealing with a variety of life stresses like depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, trauma, and depression.
