Molina Healthcare Therapists in Washington

I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I will work collaboratively with you to help you process your experiences and find a way to reconnect with the things that are important to you. I work well with people who have been through a traumatic event or loss and are feeling stuck, don’t know how to move forward, and want to understand more about themselves and their mental health. I approach my clients with empathy and respect, and my goal is to provide a safe place for you to work through difficult experiences.

Life is hard; no one said it would be easy. Nothing that has value comes easily. It seems the things that can bring us lasting joy are the things we have to work to achieve. We are all unique in history. Where we come from, which family, which culture, impacted who we are and who we will or have become. Yet, all of us are the same in that we need human interaction. We come into this world seeking others, touch, interaction. We are neither meant to be or have to be completely alone. *(I am an approved WA State Supervisor and am currently taking on LMHCA supervisees).

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapy associate specializing in providing mental health support to individuals and families. I cater my approach with each client I encounter to create an empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I take a holistic approach to therapy with the understanding that therapy is not one-size-fits all; utilizing an array of therapeutic approaches and models, I work with my clients to find the change and healing they are looking for with the belief that those who seek change, will find it.

I am passionate about Sports Performance Therapy and have training and experience to implement sports psychology skills and techniques with athletes of all ages and levels in order to effectively identify, address, and resolve their struggles with performance and overall mental health issues. Using motivators such as meaning and purpose, my goal is for clients to feel and perform at their best – not just in their given sport, but also in their relationships and life concerns. I guide clients on relaxation techniques, positive self-talk, and their discovery of tools to cope with the pressures of competition, relationships, and life.

I believe that a genuine therapeutic relationship forms the foundation for healing. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to openly discuss their thoughts and experiences. Through our collaborative work, my goal is to provide unwavering support as individuals explore their emotions and develop coping strategies. By employing a cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approach, I guide clients in understanding and reshaping thoughts and behaviors.

I work with a wide variety of folks who are experiencing mental health, trauma, family, and life related stressors. With experience supporting children ages 3 and up, teens, adults, and families I aim to provide holistic services meeting folks where they are at in their journey. My work includes providing affirming services for LGBTQ+ and Non-monogamous folks. I am skilled at providing services for neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic) folks aimed at increasing self-understanding and coping with the stressors of the outside world.

I am client-centered & appreciate a holistic view of each client (body, mind, spirit). My focus is traditional "talk therapy" with a strengths perspective that allows for clients' insight, and I use wisdom garnered from training in Native American spirituality, a study and practice of yoga, and Christianity. Some of my specialties are: depression, grief & loss, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and workplace issues, the GLBTQ community, and life transitions. I am a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist.

If you've been thinking about starting counseling but you're not sure, start today anyway. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Washington State and identify as a cisgender Latinx woman who also speaks Spanish. I have been working in the counseling field for over 8 years and have really enjoyed working with young children and their caregivers. I have specialized training and techniques that can support you and your family strengthen your family unit and build up your supports and tools you need to have better communication while strengthening your relationships.

Today you are one step closer to a new you who feels empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a client-centered counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am also a WA State Approved Supervisor.

Everyone no matter who they are are able to move past the darkness and trauma of their past, I am here to help rebuild and reshape thoughts and behaviors that have kept you in the dark. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to achieve their best version of themselves. Reaching out for help is the hardest step in therapy a person can take. By having an open mind and free space to help clients feel safe to express past traumas is essential to build a foundation to become the version each person has the right to show the world.

I have had the privilege of working within the Marriage and Family Therapy field for the past 17 years. I primarily work with couples and adults, but have extensive background in working children, teens, and families. I have experience in helping families and individuals with a variety of concerns, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting skills, discipline techniques, attachment, school-related concerns, anger management and other disruptive behavioral issues.

NOT accepting new clients: First; HSC is a queer, trans, and neurodivergent safe space. Second, I want to help people heal from their trauma by utilizing EMDR or Flash. Most people struggle with symptoms they do not understand. I would love the opportunity to gently guide you through your healing journey. You are in charge. We go where you want to go.

I value being real and supportive at the same time. I love what I do as a therapist and believe in being safe, trusting and accepting, no matter what may come! My office is (ever so slightly) cluttered and often gets the term "homey & comfortable" Dogs are welcome as well, due to their positive therapeutic benefit for their people (owners, minders & guardians). I value humor (when appropriate...granted, that's open to interpretation, right??!!) and use it as the situation arises, as in a give-and-take dynamic relationship. Life-long gamer & D&D geek, btw. :)

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and stress, and couples wanting to work on their communication. Anxiety and stress affect all of us in different ways, and we will work together to find what method of help works best for you. My work focuses on helping people to better understand themselves within the scope of their current lives. I think reaching equilibrium in relationships is vital to growth, and I can help you restore that within yourself. We will work on balancing the past and the current to help people learn how to better rely on their resilience.

I assist individuals, couples and families uncover the tools for the life they want. We will uncover the ruts of behavior that are adding to anxiety, depression. I work as a partnership with you the client, as we expose and exlore strengths and resources that lie buried. I have a compassionate style that honors each client 'right where they're at' using deep listening that helps expose YOUR truth. I provide an environment to explore changes that may be uncomfortable, I suport each person by honoring your uniqueness in a safe environment to explore what is holding you back from your dreams.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, looking for ideas or just need someone to listen I can help. I have experience working with and supporting people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and attachment issues. I work to understand your point of view and help you find the path to get to where you want to be. Allow me to share your burden so that you can achieve peace.

Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, the coping skills we have learned simply are not enough and we feel overwhelmed and out of control. There is a solution to almost every problem. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

Ever wonder why the world feels so crazy, so inhumane? Because our "civilized", artificial world is, in many ways, simply unhealthy for our physical and emotional well-being. As if modern civilization is not traumatic enough in itself, many people experience the hardship of personal trauma in their lives. When we have to deal with overwhelming emotions, frightening physical sensations and triggers, depression, anger, anxiety, and seemingly never-ending worry, the world can seem meaningless and full of pain. Despite this, there are many pathways towards healing, no matter how much trauma an individual has gone through.
