Healthcare Management Administrators Therapists in Washington

I prioritize providing a safe and healing space for you to process through the depths of life’s challenges and stressors. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore and unpack the challenges that are keeping you from experiencing a deeper sense of well-being, emotional health and fulfillment. Some of my specialty areas include helping individual through various life transitions, marital/relationship issues and/or infidelity, self esteem/self worth, family dynamics, grief/loss, emotional literacy and regulation, communication skills, people pleasing and the parenthood vs. childfree transition.

I work with adults 18 years and older and focus on issues of depression, self-worth, identity, anxiety, and perinatal & parenting concerns. I am able to hear people's struggles and stories and work collaboratively to build and strengthen coping skills that work. That might mean using DBT, EMDR, or a combination of several therapeutic tools. I am comfortable working cross culturally and enjoy working with a wide variety of people with different backgrounds, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, and immigrant experiences. I have experience working with diversity throughout my career.

It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State with over 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field. Change is difficult, change is scary, change is not undertaken lightly, but change is necessary, and it can be achieved. Therapy and counseling are an individualized process, and it is my responsibility to create an individualized approach that values the uniqueness of who you are. Working together we will create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for you to talk about that change and what that looks like for you.

At times we all find ourselves in periods of growth that can be challenging and confusing. Growth and change can be difficult but if troubling obstacles are removed, one can move towards a healthier, creative, vibrant life with a new sense of meaning and purpose. I tend to look at symptoms individuals are struggling with as guides showing the changes one needs to make in order to develop into their authentic, creative self. The work I do with client’s is often symbolic and includes dream work, creative expression, deep conversation, lessons from nature, and a deep relational connection that can foster authentic experience.

Find healing. I offer multiple art therapy methods for ages 13+ to facilitate your mental and emotional healing, from simple mark-making to Neurographica to assessments that unlock your unconscious mind. If you want to just talk, then we'll do that. This is your path to healing. Come as you are. There's no art experience required to benefit from art therapy. Your creativity comes from within you, not from the opinions of others. In art therapy, your inner thoughts and feelings become your muse, helping you see them from a new perspective.

Everyone needs hope. We despair and turn to alcohol, food, shopping, sex and the infinite screen to fill our void. We think we know what we want: intimacy, confidence, inner peace and a sense of achievement. We want to matter. We are tortured at times by self doubt implanted by past traumas. I offer a secure place to be yourself to unravel your secrets, fears, shame and guilt. I have 26 years post-doctoral clinical experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I view human problems from a social systemic perspective addressing the individual and their social context.

Hi, I’m Donna, MSW Therapist and Wholistic Life Coach. I’m elated to serve you during your most vital transitions and help you succeed on the path that best suits your ability to live optimally. Life can be a challenge, I know. I am also aware that with every obstacle comes solutions that are viable for maintaining better outcomes. Particularly, there are times when we have to identify and examine uncomfortable behavioral patterns and dynamics that impede on our ability to function at our best. Confronting these limitations can often times feel like shame and guilt, and disassemble our ability to possess compassion for our process

Having spent significant time on “the other side of the chair” with both helpful and harmful experiences, I care deeply about others’ experiences with therapists and counselors. I understand the discomfort that can come from asking for help, and I aim to alleviate that by moving slowly and welcoming you however you need to be in the counseling room.

I understand the importance of finding a counselor with whom you connect. When you reach out for help, you might be feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is to collaborate with my clients in ways that support their values and goals while honoring who they are and their experiences. While we are all doing the best we can with the skills and experiences we have, sometimes we need some extra support navigating life and relationships, to learn new skills, or to have a safe space in which to process experiences, explore who we are, gain insights, or rebuild our sense of self and meaning.

Seeking Therapy is a courageous act of self-love; however, it can feel scary at first, but I want you to know that you made the right decision. A safe therapeutic environment would promote growth, healing, and stability. Therapy provides a haven for you to discuss things that you are currently struggling with or have experienced in the past and have not been able to heal from the situation completely. I have experience assisting individuals and couples in finding effective coping strategies to help manage life and relationship challenges.
