Some things are hard to say out loud, even to the people closest to you. Maybe you are anxious most of the time and don’t know why. Maybe you keep landing in the same relationship pattern, or the same argument with yourself about your body, your worth, or who you are supposed to be. Maybe you are handling it well enough from the outside and worn out on the inside.

I work with teens and adults from all backgrounds who are dealing with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, body image, and the ordinary hard stuff of relationships with partners, friends, and family. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC and queer clients, and with people who grew up bicultural or first generation and are still sorting out what they carry from that and what they want to leave behind.

My style is collaborative. You decide what you want out of this, and I will help you set goals to get there. I will help you notice the thought patterns that keep you circling the same place and name them. I use humor when it fits, because laughter really can be the best medicine.

Outside of work, I watch a lot of movies. Recommendations welcome.

You do not need to have it figured out before you start. Show up willing to work and we will build from there.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Anxiety, depression, and self esteem
  • Romantic, peer, and family relationships
  • Racial, gender, and sexual identity
  • Life transitions or systemic stress
  • CBT, Motivational Interviewing, client centered, feminist and multicultural frameworks

 

Who I Support

  • Teens and young adults
  • Individual adults and young adults
  • BIPOC clients
  • Queer and gender diverse clients
  • First generation and bicultural individuals

Something feels off, but it’s hard to put into words. Maybe there’s anxiety or depression running in the background all day, or you’re burned out and still performing well enough that nobody has noticed. Maybe you are good at thinking your way through problems and have found that emotions don’t follow the same logic as everything else. Whatever brought you here, you don’t need to have it all figured out before we begin. We’ll make sense of it together.

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, conflict, and burnout. Couples are a significant part of my practice, and I pay close attention to the patterns between people: how we communicate, protect ourselves, connect, and disconnect. I also frequently work with high performers, analytical and tech-oriented clients, military-connected individuals and families, neurodivergent clients including ADHD, and LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples.

I believe therapy works best when it’s a genuine partnership. My style is direct, down-to-earth, and intentional. We’ll get clear on what you want to be different, then work together to understand what’s getting in the way and build the tools to help you get there. Sometimes we’ll make sense of things; sometimes we’ll feel our way through them, and sometimes we’ll do both. Together, we’ll explore the stories, relationships, and patterns shaping your life while figuring out what might need to change. Therapy with me is collaborative, but I’m not afraid to be direct, ask uncomfortable questions, or point out a pattern when I see one.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m usually with my husband, our four kids, our unhinged Golden Retriever Luna, and our cat Milli, who’s convinced the entire household exists to serve her. As a military spouse, I understand many of the challenges that come with military life. In my free time, I love hiking, discovering new restaurants, and unwinding with a good movie or TV show.

Goals, Focuses & Strategies

  • Anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, and emotional regulation
  • Couples therapy, communication, intimacy, and relationship patterns
  • Family dynamics and conflict
  • Reproductive and parenthood transitions
  • ADHD and neurodivergence
  • Collaborative, solution-focused, and family systems approaches

Who I Support

  • Individual adults
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Kids and adolescents
  • Military-connected individuals and families
  • First responders
  • Neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD
  • LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse individuals

Stephanie Lee, LMHCA

Something in you knows it is time. Maybe you have been managing anxiety or depression that quietly shapes every part of your day. Maybe you are carrying wounds from relationships, trauma, or patterns that have followed you longer than you can remember. Maybe you have spent so long taking care of everyone else that you have lost touch with who you are underneath all of it. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to minimize it or have it figured out before we start.

I work with women and teen girls who are ready to do deep, honest work—not just cope but genuinely heal and reclaim a sense of self that feels powerful and whole. My approach is warm, intuitive, and spiritually grounded without being disconnected from the practical realities of your life. I meet you exactly where you are and work from the belief that healing is not something I do to you, it is something we do together. There is no divide between me and the people I serve. That is not just a philosophy. It is how I show up in every session.

I am an associate level therapist and spiritual life coach specializing in work with women and teen girls navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship struggles, sexual trauma, and intergenerational wounds. My approach is person-centered and spiritually integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Transpersonal Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and intuitive and integrative approaches tailored to what each client needs most.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
  • Low self-worth, identity, and self-reconnection
  • Sexual trauma and relationship struggles
  • Intergenerational and cultural wounds
  • Spiritual growth and intuitive healing
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness,
  • Transpersonal Therapy, solution-focused, and integrative approaches

Who I Support

  • Individual adult women
  • Teen girls
  • Women navigating trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain
  • Women seeking spiritual growth and self-reconnection
  • Clients carrying intergenerational or cultural wounds

Relationships are both rewarding and can be hard. Whether you are navigating conflict with a partner, feeling stuck in patterns you cannot seem to break, or carrying the weight of a high-stakes career that most people around you will never fully understand — you do not have to figure it out alone.

The right support can change everything. Working together, you can expect honesty, directness, and a therapist who is genuinely invested in helping you move forward. I work best with people who are ready to do real work and want a partner in that process who will tell them the truth, hold them accountable, and meet them without judgment. My approach is warm but focused. We will build trust and use it to get you where you want to go.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in couples, relationships, and individuals in high-stress professions. I have spent the last decade working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, public safety, and mental health — which means I understand the specific pressures that executives, business owners, and first responders face in ways that go beyond clinical training.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies: 
- Relational patterns, life transitions, and high stress situations
- Anxiety, depression, trauma and more
- Infidelity repair and support
- CBT, EFT, Bowen, Strengths Based Solution Focused care

Who I Support:
- Individual Adults
- Couples and Relationships
- First Responders and Military Personnel
- Professionals, Executives and High Performance Individuals

You know the cycle. The argument that never really resolves. The distance that grows even when you are sitting right next to each other. The feeling of walking on eggshells in a relationship that is supposed to feel safe. Maybe it shows up with your partner, maybe with your family, maybe in how you talk to yourself. Patterns that keep repeating are exhausting, and they are not a character flaw.

I work with couples, individuals, and families on relationship repair, communication, trust, and the family of origin patterns that follow people into adulthood. I also work with anxiety, self doubt, and the trouble a lot of people have setting boundaries with the people they love most. If you have felt disconnected in your closest relationships and cannot name why, I can help.

My approach is warm and I do not stop at insight. We will look honestly at what keeps repeating, and then practice a different way of communicating and showing up, in session and between sessions. I use emotional, cognitive, and body based methods because change that only lives in your head does not hold. My training in mindfulness and trauma informed care shapes a lot of this. Slowing down enough to notice what is happening in your body during a hard conversation is often where things start to shift. 

You do not have to arrive with the right words for it. Bring the pattern and we will start there.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Couples therapy and relationship repair 
  • Attachment and family of origin patterns
  • Anxiety, self doubt, and boundary setting
  • Life transitions and family stress
  • EFT, Gottman Method, IFS, CBT, ACT, and somatic approaches

Who I Support

  • Individual adults
  • Couples and relationships
  • Families
  • People dealing with anxiety, self doubt, or difficulty with boundaries

Kacy Thompson, MS, LMHCA

Hi! I’m Kacy, and specialize in working with adults who feel stuck in patterns they can’t shake, emotions they find difficult to manage, or a persistent sense that something’s off even when life looks fine from the outside.

Many people I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, rumination, anger, or shame around their own thoughts, feelings, or actions. Many come from high-pressure or traditionally stoic environments, have complex or traumatic histories, or have spent years masking, white-knuckling it, or trying fixes that didn’t stick. Some are navigating a major life transition and finding it harder than they expected, and others have been to therapy before and felt like it missed the mark.

My approach is direct, warm, and backed by evidence-based practice. I draw on somatic work, trauma-informed care, and values-based therapy to help clients understand what’s driving their patterns beneath the surface, regulate their nervous systems, and build practical skills they can actually use. We’ll have real conversations, I’ll swear sometimes, and bring genuine curiosity and humor into the room.

I believe lasting change comes from looking at what’s underneath. It’s not just managing symptoms, but understanding them deeply enough to shift what’s driving them. That’s the work I’m most interested in doing with you.

I’m based in the Pacific Northwest, where I split my time between the mountains, the ocean, and keeping two kids (and too many houseplants) alive. My cat has a habit of joining sessions, and your pet is always welcome too. Show up as you are. We’ll figure out the rest.
