About The Team

Lycan Counseling is a 100% online mental health counseling practice serving clients in Washington State. We provide specialized services to youth and young adults via telehealth platforms. Lycan Counseling strives to provide accessible support to clients and works to build a comprehensive and diverse team of providers. 

You will quickly learn that I am not a “traditional” employer. In my practice, I value personal experience at least as much as professional training. My team is screened for lived experience as well as professional experience. I also believe in providing a safe and affirming space for all marginalized identities for both my team and my clients. 

Some people think that politics and personal beliefs “don’t belong at work” or “shouldn’t impact managerial decisions.” To an extent, I agree, and I certainly value differing perspectives and experiences. However, providing safe and effective care to my diverse clients, and providers, requires that I bring this to the forefront of my mind when deciding who will be a good addition to my team. Things like how we treat LGBTQIA+ or BBIPOC folks, is not a matter of opinion in my work; it is a matter of safety and ethics. I believe we are ethically bound to consider our clients safety from the perspective of each team member they may encounter. For that reason, I may ask you questions you have not been asked before. 

My interviews also tend to be less formal because knowing you as a person matters more to me than knowing your professional background. I believe that our own experiences guide the way we provide care. When we overcome hardship, we develop skills that help us to be understanding, resourceful, determined, empathetic, efficient, and more. 

I believe in working to create a diverse team and a cooperative work environment where we all succeed or fail together. You may be surprised to learn that I don’t have any employees in the traditional sense. My provider team is made up of a range of providers who are working to build their own successful practices. Rather than be a “boss,” I provide support that they need to be successful. I provide the business “know how” and the credentials they need to access the world of insurance. My providers run their own businesses and we work together in a cooperative environment and support one another’s success. As a team member, you will work with my entire team, providing services that support several small businesses through one platform.
