Yvette Stone
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
I believe we are all created for connection in relationship, and that all relationships have the potential to bring great joy and great struggle. Through our therapeutic relationship, by addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy, a process occurs that produces healing, transformation, and growth. My approach to counseling varies, but is rooted in trauma-informed, relational psychotherapy, focusing on key attachment relationships, and exploring the moments, social and cultural constructs, and ideologies that have shaped you.

Is it sometimes a struggle for you to feel comfortable being yourself around others? Maybe you tend to keep your opinions and feelings to yourself unless you’re sure you won’t be judged by family and friends? Loyalty and being there for loved ones is important to you and you’ll often drop what you’re doing when it feels you’re needed by a friend or family member. Unfortunately, it may not seem that they do the same for you when you’re the one feeling upset or overwhelmed. You may be afraid to bring this up, worried that they'll think you're overreacting. Deep down, you want to share your feelings without it becoming an argument.

Garrett A. Gilchrist
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child, Adolescent, and Family treatment from Seattle Pacific University (2008) and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University (2001). I have been a Licensed Psychologist in WA since 2010, and I am paneled with most insurance carriers. I have practiced in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, public school systems, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and mental health agencies. I view my primary role as providing a safe and contained environment where individuals can gain stability, increase insights into themselves, and develop more positive coping strategies.
Brian Garrison
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
Behind so much of how we think, what we long for, and how we relate to ourselves and others lies unacknowledged shame, trauma, and the strategies we developed, sometimes very early on, to cope with and hide these realities from ourselves. These make up the “muscle memory” of our emotional worlds, which cannot always be easily recalled, but determine our lives nonetheless. Therapy aims to cultivate awareness of what lies underneath in disconnected, dissociated ways, and provides a space to move through the pain, accept, and integrate the past so that it no longer repeats itself in our lives.
Colby Mathis
Counselor, LMHCA, NCC
Verified
I am passionate about helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and Christian spirituality. While I’m totally open to exploring your needs and adjusting my preferences, my ideal client is aged sixteen – forty with a special focus on males and masculinity. Asking for help is difficult, particularly so for men. As a male who has struggled with anxiety throughout my life, I am passionate about helping open the door to healing for men.

***Currently Full and unable to take new clients***The teenage years can be some of the most challenging for both teens and their parents alike. They often feel misunderstood and alone while parents may feel helpless and disconnected from their teenager. I am here to help. Finding the "right fit" therapist for a teen is tough. You want your teen to be able to open up and feel comfortable. Well, hopefully you don't need to go much farther. I speak grouchy, anxious, and depressed teen fluently. I am known for just "getting it" in the teen world and teens truly enjoy coming to see me and doing the hard-work that counseling requires.

I would love to work with you on the things that haunt you and hold you back. Reclamation of personal power will be the basis of our work together. We will explore relational systems such as justice and culture, and the role of the self within these systems. By re-imagining yourself as a cherished and sacred part of the whole, you can identify and heal the wounds that have drained your precious energy and afflicted you with false negative narratives. Together, we will find out what your story truly has to tell us, and rewrite it for your benefit.

Are you burdened with feelings of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness? Do you have intrusive, terrifying thoughts or feel compelled to perform rituals that you know don't make sense? I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is very common, affecting one in 40 individuals. I am highly trained in using exposure and response prevention, the only evidence based treatment besides medication, proven to help sufferers. I understand this complex and largely misunderstood disorder, and I also support family members, who frequently experience frustration, confusion, and pain while not knowing how to help their loved one
Scott Vignola
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSWA, BA, YT200

Our lives may feel as if they are shifting. We may feel ready for a new direction and unsure how to make meaningful change. Many of our patterns may feel inadequate to meeting the challenges to our daily lived experience. We may experience patterns of lashing out and withdrawing, or feel badly for what we think or feel. Our work would focus on providing the means for you to renegotiate your relationships to fear, guilt, shame, and grief. We also focus on bringing to light the implicit stories, narratives, and beliefs that form the foundation of your self-understanding and relationship with the world.
Michelle Levey Coaching
As a life coach...my clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Ruminating over past regrets or lost opportunities. Life transitions can cause us to feel uninspired, unsatisfied and co-existing with a hopeless feeling. Work can feel overwhelming or unfulfilling, our wellness becomes unbalanced, our relationships become stagnant or even go away and we find ourselves feeling unconnected from life.
Lynn B Gilman
Counselor, MA, LMHC, CCHT
Verified
I welcome new clients! Are you overwhelmed by the pandemic? Do you have relationship issues? Are you challenged by anxiety, depression, or fears? Do you suffer from low self esteem or confidence? Do you have trouble setting boundaries? Are you going through life transitions, or just feeling stuck? Do you have unhealed trauma? Would you like to explore what your life's purpose is? Those are the issues that I specialize in, and I would be happy to help you navigate and heal them.

Counselor, LMHCA, SUDP
Verified
If you have been working towards change or struggling with life challenges, I'd like to help support you in finding new coping skills and ways to manage what can otherwise seem to be overpowering struggles. I offer individual, couples, and group counseling for problems related to mood, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief, and/or substance use. Through working on thinking and action, to include how behavior is tied to thoughts we can work as a team to discover self-awareness; then through that process develop new coping skills.

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, LMFTA
Verified
In my opinion and to preface, I am biased in my belief that being a Therapist is an amazing profession. I’m granted the opportunity to witness inspirational growth and self-exploration from individuals of all walks of life. We are able as people to connect on a level that is oftentimes reached through vulnerability from both entities, and with this we facilitate an unveiling of ideas and movement that pushed us towards our collaborative goals.

You and your partner aren’t feeling like partners anymore. You struggle to get on the same page about important issues like parenting and sex. Every conversation ends in an argument leaving you even more disconnected than before. Negative experiences from the past are showing up in your current relationship causing shame, fear and distrust. Maybe there's no fighting, but there's just no spark. You or your partner could be considering ending the relationship.
