Alissa

(She/Her)

When it comes to addressing many mental health concerns, I believe in using a whole-person approach to therapy. I’m passionate about working to address both the emotional and physical symptoms of my clients from a foundation of unconditional care. To do this, I’ve engaged in an intensive study of Compassion Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed yoga to help my clients work with both their minds and bodies to feel better. Using a unique blend of Compassion Focused Therapy and Feminist Theory through a neurobiological lens, I aim to help my clients understand themselves, and the larger systemic influences that have impacted them, in order to help them cultivate the skills necessary to feel better holistically and achieve their unique healthcare goals.

Additionally, much of my work with clients aims to understand how the relationship we have with ourselves can shape and influence the challenges we experience and how we navigate them. In our therapeutic work together, we’ll work to help you build a more compassionate relationship with both yourself and others so you can conquer your
challenges in a way that truly serves you.

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.

MacKinsey

(She/Her)

My name is MacKinsey Taylor, and I am a clinical mental health counseling and drama therapy intern based in Seattle, Washington. I uphold the belief that all people have inherent self-worth. I am passionate about working alongside you to help encourage and empower you to see and believe in your own strengths and internal wisdom. I maintain a strong dedication to advocacy and social justice, and my goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you reach your goals and co-create brave spaces.

I use an integrated approach in my counseling, pulling from a wide variety of theories. As appropriate, I integrate drama therapy. Drama therapy is the intentional use of theater techniques to facilitate personal growth and promote health. As a drama therapy intern, I am trained to work with clients in a variety of creative art therapy modalities such as role-play, improvisation, psychodramatic techniques, art, music, poetry, creative writing, phototherapy, and movement to address symptom relief and personal growth. I believe that drama therapy offers an element of play and aesthetic distance that can offer a unique way to explore and work towards therapeutic goals. Drama therapy can be particularly beneficial in connecting the mind, body, and spirit.

I am committed to fostering empowerment through understanding the systems in which each client exists, the facets of identity within these systems, and the realities of coping with mental health challenges in complex settings. I have chosen counseling as a profession because of the deep impact it has had on my life, the profound and radical self-acceptance it has helped me foster, and the healing, growth, and change I have been able to achieve. It is my hope to help others see the potential for self-acceptance, growth, and healing within themselves and to be agents of change in their own circumstances.
