Image contains a photo of sand with the tide coming in. There is a quote by Somaly Mam in black text over the image that says "What you have learned from experience is worth much more than gold. If you have a house it may burn down. Any kind of possession can be lost, but your experience is yours forever. Keep it and find a way to use it.

I believe that how one overcomes barriers is an indicator of how they will offer support to someone else. I also believe that trust begins with vulnerability and that informed consent requires an understanding of your provider and the experiences that guide their approach. Our providers have been selected for both work experience and life experience facing and overcoming barriers to wellness. They are encouraged to disclose lived experiences as they feel comfortable.

All of our providers can provide care around a variety of concerns (e.g. anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, etc.). Check out our providers by clicking the box that best speaks to the experience you want your provider to have and/or the support you need right now. If none of the boxes feel right to you, you are encouraged to reach out to us via the contact page and speak with our admin to find our best fit for your needs.

Alicia

(She/Her)

I’m a therapist who cares deeply about walking alongside people as they make sense of their lives and relationships. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and have experience providing individual counseling, working with adolescents and families, and serving in community based mental health, crisis response, outreach, residential care, and parenting support. I believe people deserve a space where they can show up honestly and feel respected and supported.

Healing happens in relationship. Our histories, attachment patterns, and nervous systems influence how we move through the world and connect with others. Identity development and authentic self expression are especially important to me, as is helping clients build resilience during seasons of change and stress. I particularly enjoy working with young adults navigating identity and relationship development, including cisgender men in their late twenties who are often exploring emotional expression and connection in new ways. In therapy, we will explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional regulation and communication, and take practical steps toward the kind of life and relationships you want.
My work is collaborative, grounded, and compassionate. I integrate attachment based therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT informed skills, and solution focused approaches. This means we will deepen emotional understanding while also build practical tools you can use outside of session.

I also show up fully as myself in session. I can be a little quirky, honest, and at times even entertaining, while still holding the depth and seriousness your story deserves. Clients have shared that they feel seen, understood, and safe in our work together, which I hold with deep care. Therapy with me is real, relational, and steady.

Lived Experience: Cisgender woman, queer, neurodivergent, raised Mormon, recovery journey, experience navigating complex family systems and life transitions.

Modalities: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy, DBT informed skills, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, Person Centered Therapy.

Alissa

(She/Her)

I’m a therapist who is deeply passionate about helping people build healthier, happier lives. I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2021, I have a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am a National Board Certified Counselor. I’m also a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor. My philosophy is simple; the brain and the body do not work independently from each other. When we struggle with our health in one area, it commonly affects the other. Which is why I approach mental health from a whole-person perspective. In our work together, we’ll utilize evidence-based theories and tools to help you achieve your specific mental health goals and release the physical symptoms of trauma and stress you might be carrying.

My approach to therapy is unique, just like your goals. I primarily use Compassion Focused Therapy combined with Feminist Theory through a neurobiological lens. Which is a technical way of saying I help my clients build a more compassionate relationship with themselves and others, while taking into consideration both the neuro-chemical and societal influences that impact us deeply.

I have completed extensive study in Compassion Focused Therapy, and biopsychology, as well as somatic processing techniques to help my clients learn to cope with life’s stressors in a way that truly serves them. My approach aims to help my clients 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 focus on helping you build a more compassionate sense of self so you can conquer your challenges and feel better holistically.

Dee

(They/She)

I am a clinical social worker and I believe your goals, dreams, and expertise are central to guiding our process together. My approach to therapy is informed by values of community, disability justice, freedom, and curiosity. I aspire to be direct, kind, empathetic, and a firm proponent of your strengths and capabilities, including those that are still in development.

I focus on behavioral health, grief, somatic tools, and building skills for balance, liberation, community care, and self-actualization. I hope to bring energy, playfulness, attunement, and compassion to sessions.

I hope to support you in achieving your goals, accepting your realities, and fostering your hope. I would be honored to partner with you in self-compassion, accountability, and moving with change. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for doing what you needed to do to get to today, tomorrow, and eventually, systemic transformation.

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.

Jupiter

(She/They)

Each of us has an inherent worth and value, but often internalize experiences that make us believe otherwise. Every single one of us lives under multiple interlocking systems that impact each of our lives. My ideal client may feel out of place in their family or community for numerous reasons, but is worthy of connection just the same. Each of us navigate the world in our own ways and at our own pace. Some may feel directionless while others have clear goals, regardless all are welcome in session.
I am primarily focused on creating a non-judgmental and supportive space in which I collaborate with clients to address concerns that are most pertinent to them and their goals. I am also committed to assist in the development of skills and tools required for individual and community liberation.
I welcome those that are new to therapy or those that have done therapy in the past and are seeking a change in pace. As a transgender person I have experienced discrimination in the therapeutic space and seek to create a supportive space for all regardless of identity.

Lived experience: Mixed Race (Black/white), transgender, nonbinary, woman, queer, autistic, activist, in-home case aide.

Modalities: All of my work is done through an anti-oppression intersectional lens. Feminist Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trans-Affirming therapy.

Utilizing diverse therapeutic approaches, I customize our sessions to align with your unique needs, empowering you to reach your therapy and life goals.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I find comfort and inspiration in traveling, indulging in art projects, immersing myself in nature's beauty, unwinding at home, and occasionally engaging in some video game adventures.

Leslie

She/her

People usually come to therapy because something in their life no longer feels manageable. Anxiety may feel louder than usual. Grief may feel heavy and ever-present. Parenting may feel overwhelming. Relationships may feel strained. Or old experiences may be showing up in ways that are hard to understand and even harder to change. Whatever brings you in, it matters.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent many years as a teacher working with adolescents and families. That experience continues to shape how I show up in therapy—with patience, steadiness, and a deep respect for how hard people are trying, even when they feel like they’re failing. I understand how stress, grief, and family dynamics affect both adults and teens because I’ve worked alongside them in classrooms, homes, and now in the therapy room.

Lived experience: I am a parent of a gender-expansive child, a bereaved parent, and someone who lives with a neurological condition. I have personally navigated anxiety, depression, spiritual searching, a difficult childhood, and religious trauma. I am familiar with non-monogamous and alternative relationship structures and the challenges of living outside traditional norms.

Modalities: I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and a Humanistic/Person-Centered approach to support meaningful, sustainable change grounded in your values and lived experience. I also incorporate Adlerian and Feminist perspectives to explore how early experiences, identity, culture, and systems shape present patterns and personal agency.

Rather than applying a single model, I blend these approaches to meet you where you are and support the goals that matter most to you.

Focus: Grief, parenting, processing childhood trauma, interpersonal difficulties, depression, anxiety, and major life changes.

This iamge features Leslie, a slim, thirty something caucasian woman with medium length hair that is straight on the top, curls at the ends, and is parted over her left eye. She is wearing a short sleeve, dark-colored mock neck shirt and is leaning against a white fence on a sunny day with a bridge and river in a desert landscape background. She is smiling warmly with an open mouth.

Lindsey

She/her

We all face challenges at times. The key to facing these challenges might be the confidence that you will get to the other side. Often, what holds us back is feeling stuck to a thought or an emotion, feeling like a challenge is impossible to traverse, or never-ending. When this happens, emotions or thoughts can become all-consuming, and our values, what gives us meaning and brings us hope, are overshadowed. Facing these struggles can be hard, but no path is completely free from challenges. Through non-judgmental awareness and acceptance, rediscovering what is important, self-compassion, and curiosity, negative thoughts and challenging emotions become less of a driving force in our lives, leaving room to follow our chosen path despite the challenges that arise.

Lived experience: I have lived through and grown from traumatic loss, childhood neglect, poverty, social anxiety, and walking to the beat of my own drum. I have experience loving someone with serious mental health challenges. I am a mother to four-legged and winged children. Spirituality for me lives in nature; it never fails to offer me a sense of awe.

Modalities: I work primarily from a humanistic point of view. I strongly believe in authenticity, curiosity, humility, and, sometimes, humor in the therapeutic process. I believe in walking with a client; I am not controlling or directive; when in session, this is your space. I focus heavily on values; what gives one meaning, purpose, and hope. I draw from several evidence-based modalities, but mostly lean towards Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatically focused therapies, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). A little DBT and CBT might come up from time to time, and I sure do like existential theory.

Focus: Humans ages 16 to 116, Trauma/PTSD, Ambiguous loss, grief, life transitions, self-discovery, anxiety, depression, neurodivergent, and those who love or care for someone with serious mental health challenges.

Lindsey is featured in this black and white photo. She is a caucasian woman appearing to be in her early to mid-thirties with long, straight, dark hair that is layered.

She is looking straight at the camera with her face turned slightly to her right and smiling subtly with a closed mouth.

Nancy

(She/Her)

Therapy can be a painful yet healing process. At times, you might find yourself experiencing difficult emotions in a session. I believe that acknowledging these painful emotions is an essential step toward living a happier life. I want to help you get to the point where you don’t feel like you need counseling anymore. You are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help you make sense of the chaos. Therapy doesn’t have to be all crying and reliving trauma--we can also laugh at the messy parts of being a human being right now. You’ve been through a lot already, and I know you are ready to take on this challenge.

Modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Health at Every Size, Mindfulness, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy
