Gender Care Assessments
Heidi
(Any pronouns)
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate based in Tri-Cities. My MFT training means that I bring a systemic lens and approach regardless of what modality is being used. My training is focused on couples, families, and other groups, but I enjoy working with individuals as well. My work will always look at the systems we exist and work within to gain greater understanding of our issues and opportunities. My goal is to create an accepting environment without judgment for clients to work on growth and goals relevant to what brings them to see me. This is done with a nurturing attitude, humor, and care. I am interested in including games or other nerdy activities into treatment where appropriate and desired by clients.

Jennelle
(She/They)
I truly enjoy listening to clients share their stories. I believe you are the expert on your life. I am here to listen compassionately and work collaboratively with you towards accomplishing your therapeutic goals. I am excited to reflect back to you the many strengths you already possess and to support you in developing skills that can make life easier and more fulfilling. One major hope I have for all of my clients is that they will learn to love and accept every part of themselves more fully.
In our work together it may be valuable for us to discuss the larger cultural systems we are living in. I believe much of human suffering is due to systems of oppression and the stress that comes from trying to survive in our competitive capitalist society. It can be helpful to acknowledge how these systems impact us and discuss both how we can care for ourselves while living within these systems and how we can find empowerment through challenging them.
In my free time, I can be found hanging out with my partner and friends, enjoying a variety of joyful movement hobbies, or cozy at home with my black cat.

Keri
(She/Her)
The counseling space is meant to be where you feel seen and heard without judgment—a place for compassionate discovery and expression of your authentic self. We are more than just our thoughts, feelings, body, or soul; all these aspects are interconnected and influence each other.
If you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or your purpose, I invite you to a brave space for discovery and recovery. Here, you can reclaim your authentic qualities, express yourself confidently, and let go of thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that do not serve you. This space is for deepening your understanding of what motivates you, what you long for, and what qualities you seek in relationships.
With understanding comes the opportunity to create new perspectives and experiences. While life is filled with challenges, we can find new ways to navigate them, leading to increased peace, empowerment, and joy. If this is your journey, I would love to support you as you move toward your desired life. Through compassion and curiosity, we will explore what holds you back and what will help you achieve your goals using evidence-based interventions.

Mallory
(She/Her)
My name is Mallory Thrall and I take a collaborative approach with my clients to establish goals and a plan that they feel is achievable to them. I like to give my clients information about what they are experiencing with context that can be helpful to provide motivation or just understanding of what's going on. I then offer some skills that can be utilized when these symptoms are presented along with gathering a history of when these symptoms started. I believe that understanding is the first step towards growth and understanding why our brain works the way it does.
If you are a person that is interested in an action-oriented therapeutic approach, I think that we could do good work together.
