Therapists in Tumwater, WA

I have immediate openings. Working with parents of teens is my area of specialty. I also have a great deal of experience working effectively with parents with younger children. I am passionate about working with parents. I work from the premise that relationships are the most important thing we do and that all parents want to be the best they can be. Teenagers face big challenges and need their parens to understand and support them through this important, vulnerable time in a way that helps them learn and grow. They need the skills to think for themselves, make good choices, and act responsibility to be able to face their future.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.

We like to help people who are seeking to make their lives better, whether it's to save their marriage, go through a divorce without losing their minds or parent their children without killing them ;) Both our counselors are pretty laid back and like to "tell it like it is." You won't hear much professional jargon from us; We prefer to keep things simple. Our goal as therapists is to help our clients never see us again...we would love to get to a point where we no longer have people to help because everyone is coping so well!

I am a very compassionate, positive person and love working as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I am available to work with couples, families, and individuals (children, adolescents, teens, and adults) with a wide variety of needs.

Are you tired of sticker charts and time-outs? Ever feel like these behavior-based ways of parenting seem to leave you and your child frustrated, alone, and involved in a seemingly never-ending power struggle? What if I told you there’s another way? A way that feels more instinctual, loving, and dare I say…fun? And it’s backed by neuroscience! All behavior makes sense—even the most puzzling! Behavior is communication. But it does take a little (or maybe a lot) of curiosity to understand it. Together, we can approach your child with compassion so you both feel less alone, and you can regain access your parenting intuition.

Sofie believes in providing person-centered and trauma-informed mental health support to children, young adolescents, and caregivers, for navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustments, neurodiversity, and behavioral challenges. Sofie offers caregiver support for building positive parent-child relationships and managing challenging behaviors through exploring the meaning behind them and connecting them to the child's emotional experience. Sofie provides a safe, compassionate therapeutic environment for children to explore big feelings through play while learning new skills to regulate in safe and healthy ways.

I love couples, in the good times and the hard times, I am here to support and celebrate you. I approach marriage with a Christian worldview that makes space for your personal history with faith. I don't take sides, I am here to help you both be heard. The foundation of my practice is to work on improved communication and creating shared vision between you and your partner. I also have experience in cross-cultural relationships. If you are looking for premarital counseling, processing marital hurt, or adjusting to marriage with children- I look forward to hearing from you!

Healing and caring for ourselves is hard work. Sometimes painful, often fulfilling, occasionally tedious, it is a necessary part of being open to the experiences that life has to offer us. Therapy is one way to find support in healing from trauma, managing our health, and discovering and practicing new ways of caring for ourselves. As Audre Lorde wrote, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." This work is important, both individually and collectively, and I am here to help you with it.

Not sure what to do? Feeling desperate and hopeless? Struggling with letting go of the past? Having difficulty adjusting to postpandemic life? Don't know what to do about your child's out of control behaviors? We all come to a point in our lives when things seem unbearable. Sometimes we need a little help for a short amount of time, and sometimes we need a huge assist for an indefinite amount of time. We can then begin to gain the confidence and stability to live life, not simply survive this world. I pull from many therapeutic modalities to meet people where they are in their therapeutic journey.

I help parents and caregivers seeking a better relationship with their 3 to 12-year-old children. While working to help children learn to manage their emotions, I include parents/caregivers to help them understand their child's behaviors. Understanding why your child behaves in a certain way will allow you to respond to them in a more attuned, empathetic, and responsive way.

Welcome! We are all emotional and relational beings so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships and are ongoing throughout our lives. Experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, struggling with communication issues, moving through discouragement, and unmet expectations in yourself and/or loved ones, is not a sign of failure or weakness. These experiences simply remind us we are human and provide opportunities for growth. The choice to do something different is yours. I welcome the walk with you on your journey of hope and transformation.

As an Indigenous therapist, my objective is to provide culturally sensitive and holistic healing. Drawing from a deep understanding of traditions, values, and intergenerational experiences, my aim is to cultivate a safe, and supportive space where individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery, and transformation; feeling seen, heard, and valued. I offer support to those prepared to navigate various challenges, including intergenerational trauma, relational skill building, motherhood, life transitions, spiritual exploration, grief/ loss. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own healing journey, and I serve as a guide.

I am passionate about helping clients heal and transform through an eco-art therapeutic approach that combines art, nature and play. Working and playing in a natural setting, I offer a variety of mediums to encourage growth, both indoors and out. This allows an emergent and imaginative approach to therapy that adapts to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple, family and group. Moving from sand tray to clay, collage to art journaling, clients can walk outdoors on paths that meander past waterways and through old growth forests. With labyrinths, meditative walks and an enormous sound chamber, I offer many creative outlets.

Welcome to Canopy Counseling Telehealth. My name is Brittany, she/her. I am a weight inclusive therapist with over 20 years experience. I specialize in grief, life transitions and caregiving. I am currently working during the week at an Eating Disorder program with adolescents. Have you lost someone, or are you experiencing divorce. Maybe you/your child are ill. The hardest part of grief and loss is that the world doesn’t stop for us. We often still have to do life fulltime. Are you overwhelmed with everything on your plate? I offer different modalities including DBT, CBT and process therapy. I offer a place for you to heal

Often therapy begins with an implicit question, such as “will I be okay?” or, “can I feel better?” Other clients might wonder if they will be accepted for who they are, both in and outside of therapy. I welcome you to bring your full self into our space together. I am here to meet you where you are with warmth and unconditional positive regard. Everyone needs something a little different - to move through stuck points, to gain insight, or to reconnect with oneself or others. Whatever your needs, I believe therapy should be flexible and responsive to your individual circumstances. We will co-create an approach tailored to your goals.
