Seeking therapy is a courageous step to take when life isn't turning out quite like you envisioned it would. I believe that this decision is one that should be met with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and non-judgmental understanding. I specialize in working with individuals seeking to manage anxiety, depression and other difficult emotions, have more successful and fulfilling relationships, and change harmful or unwanted patterns of behavior. I also work with individuals with significant trauma histories, experiencing grief and loss, or experiencing symptoms of severe mental illness.

Trouble with your teenager? Can't understand your partner? Not feeling as good as you once were? Need to get out of a rut and move ahead toward some vision? Need a vision? Bill Meleney is a counselor and a coach who often can help with these big issues in life. I am only accepting new coaching clients as of September 2021

I work with teens and adults to provide support for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sexual concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ identities. My work with clients often focuses on themes of personal agency and empowerment, shame resolution, and self-acceptance. I enjoy supporting clients with identity exploration and integration, working through past trauma, managing life stress, and building stronger and more connective relationships with others.

Accepting New Telehealth Clients - I provide trauma focused therapies for adults and adolescents with a non-judgmental, collaborative and strengths focused approach. This means that it is my highest priority to ensure therapy is a place where you feel equally empowered and cared for. Traumatic experiences rob us of a sense of autonomy and it is my hope to create a place in therapy where you can reconnect and show love towards all parts of yourself.

I am an LICSW in Washington State and specialize in work with Children, Youth and the LGBTQ+ populations. Much of my work has been centered around different ways to address and heal from trauma. Counseling can help to address painful or long held memories with core healing that frees you from old established patterns that no longer serve you.

Current Tacoma Availability! Child/Adolescent/Young Adult Therapist. Therapy does not have to be scary or mysterious - it is about learning skills and gaining insights that get you closer to feeling more you, feeling well and thriving. TEENS - Maybe you are not sure how someone you do not know yet can help you. I provide a respectful, transparent space in which you are better able to figure out what changes you want to make to improve your life. Parents/Caregivers - if you are struggling with your child's behavior (age 4-8), I welcome the opportunity to partner with you to help get things back on track.

Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed? Or maybe you find each day a battle to get out of bed and check things off your to do list? You might not feel like your usual self and don’t know why. Maybe you find yourself struggling with relationships in your life, wondering how to change things but unsure which direction to take.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS Do you have a sense that you have no control over your life, thoughts, or feelings, causing you NOT to be an active participant in your own life? Do these feelings cause you to feel that you are drifting through life, becoming depressed and anxious? My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space, to walk with you on your journey, explore aspects of the 'self' that you would like to build, and discover strengths that can be used in your present and future, in order to construct the life you desire. Remember, the steps you take don’t have to be big, they just have to be heading you in the right direction.

Do you long to feel more alive, awake, and connected? Do you want to live with passion and purpose? Are you interested in honoring what your heart is longing for and willing to listen to what your body is communicating to you? Can you imagine making all of your decisions based on your intuition? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that we won’t address your current circumstances. Your circumstances, and your feelings about your circumstances, they are all valid and belong. But they do not define you. Nor should they confine you. You are so much more than your diagnosis, your past experiences, or your fears about the future.

Aloha and thank you for visiting my profile. Growing up in Hawaii, I was immersed in an inclusive array of ethnic and cultural practices, all including multi generational and traditional approaches to healing and wellness. My interest is to provide a space where individuals know that they are heard, feel validated, and understood. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families that have experienced trauma, oppression, as well as horizontal aggression. In all my work I honor family, culture, and community. I hope to help you and your family seek peace and find purpose to challenging times in your life.

My specialty is helping clients understand why certain patterns have emerged in their lives. By fully appreciating our unwanted patterns we can gain clarity about how to change them. I believe lasting change comes from an awareness of our beliefs and values coupled with habit change. Some unique issues I work with in addition to the listed concerns are; difficulty relaxing, grief and loss, feeling others' feelings, and perfectionism.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you want more out of your relationships? Does it feel as though your heart is heavy? Struggles like this can require a helping hand and therapy can be the step you need. Therapy has the potential to empower and guide growth to overcome the challenges that life brings. It has the ability to bridge tough conversations, acknowledge the impact that the greater society has on us and unpack the emotions that feel unexplainable. Soon that checklist can feel smaller, relationships feel more fulfilling and that weight a bit lighter.

People prioritize therapy when it is necessary or important to them. I want to make therapy flexible enough for your busy life, with evening appointments, telehealth, and in-person options. Therapy works best if you have a trusting relationship with your therapist, and I aim to provide that setting, getting to know who you are and what you need, as you are the expert on your life. I hope to help you with the skills that will be useful throughout your life.

I specialize in working with adults (ages 18-60) who struggle with the effects of trauma or negative life events. These are any events where you became overwhelmed and went into survival mode to get by. Sometimes we only think that trauma means you were attacked, went to war, got shot at, lived through a natural disaster. However, I also consider things like divorce, pet loss, living on the edge of homelessness, or childhood emotional abuse or neglect as just as traumatizing. I also work with clients who experienced pet loss. Sometimes, the loss of a pet can be just as devastating as the loss of a human, if not more.
