Aundria

(She/Her)

The past is set but the future is still being written. Unfortunately, these past events have a way of creating false narratives about who we are and what we are capable of. Through self-discovery and persona growth, you can choose for yourself what you want and start living a life you look forward to living. Working together you will be able to identify false narratives and with support be empowered to rewrite them. Together we can discover what truly matters to you and how you can achieve these goals.

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.

Xyla

(She/Her)

Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. My practice focuses on viewing the whole person, including their childhood, relationships, environment, mental and physical health. In our therapy sessions, you may see me referencing attachment theories and person-in-environment theory. I don’t rely on one specific modality to guide therapy. I use a combination of skills I’ve acquired from several modalities. Therapy is individualized for each person, and I think of our sessions as a team effort. We can work together to adjust therapy for you.

In a previous job, I led the development of a training on neurodiversity. I’m also well-versed in several chronic illnesses and pain conditions through hospital social work and lived experience.

My fellow zebras may be familiar with the saying coined by Theodore Woodward, “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras,” which is commonly taught to doctors. This saying often results in individuals feeling invalidated and questioning their symptoms. My hope is that my practice can be a safe space for zebras or anyone that is seeking out someone who will listen and validate their experience. My sessions are a safe space for sex workers, women identifying individuals, those in polyamorous relationships, BIPOC, and all others.
