He/Him/They
Bio: My training was specifically centered on the integration of clinical psychology with art and creativity, as well as on the intersection of therapy and social justice.

She/Her/Hers
Bio: I am a licensed clinical social worker associate with previous and current experiencing working in child welfare, specifically within the tribal communities of Washington and Turtle Island. I have a BA in Child Psychology and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Washington. I am Mexican American with indigenous descent from Texas and Mexico. In my free time I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, watching movies and spending time with my friends and family. I have a fur baby named Leo.
I have experience working with teens and young adults navigating life changes, familial relationships, romantic relationships, grief and anticipation grief. I approach therapy with a decolonized lens and utilize the teaching of the 7 Generations Model in my work.
I believe in honoring the pace at which you choose to heal. There is no time limit and I believe we are always healing as we move through life. I strive to create a space for you to feel you can express your emotions and thoughts in order to better understand them and yourself. I also believe that healing isn’t linear, just like the mountain ranges around us. There will be high, lows, times you have to turn around and find a different path, and times where you take a beat to embrace all around you.

AMFT
Bio: As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), I am dedicated to fostering healthy relationships and promoting mental well-being for individuals, couples, and families. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, where I developed a strong foundation in therapeutic practices that emphasize inclusivity and understanding.
My work focuses on the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent individuals, and the unique dynamics of diverse relationship styles, including polyamorous and non-traditional configurations. I specialize in navigating the complexities of various family structures and providing tailored therapeutic support that respects and honors each client’s identity and relationship model.
In our sessions, I create a safe and affirming space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, improve communication, and strengthen connections with their loved ones. Whether you are in a polyamorous relationship, seeking to navigate the challenges of neurodivergence, or looking to enhance self-acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community, I am here to support you on your journey.
I believe that every individual and relationship is unique, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies that reflect their distinct experiences and desires. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of growth, healing, and connection in your relationships, I invite you to reach out. Let’s take this important step together.

Laura Ward
Therapist
LMHC
She/her/hers
Bio: I am a psychotherapist who works with adults, children, couples and families. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Clinical Mental Health, which I obtained from Antioch University in 2016. I completed my practicum and internship hours at the YWCA in Snohomish County. I have also worked at Rain City Integrative Clinic and been in private practice. An important part of my counseling identity is being an advocate for social justice. I take a client-centered approach to therapy. I am originally from Chicago, but have lived in Seattle for the last 12 years. I am mom to a six and two year old. I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, gardening- basically anything that allows me to get out and enjoy nature. I also enjoy cooking, writing, traveling, and photography. My friends describe me as quirky, fun, and easy to talk to. I draw from my Irish heritage to build humor into my life and try not to take myself too seriously. I believe one of life’s most important challenges is learning to embrace imperfection.
Specialities: I draw from a variety of perspectives to inform how I work with individuals and families, and I adjust my approach based on the needs and goals of each client. I use a feminist approach to ensure I am considering the cultural and contextual factors that influence my clients’ experiences. My therapy is always trauma informed, and I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a somatic model that can be utilized to work through the chronic effects of trauma.

Bio: I am dedicated to creating a warm, non judgmental, and collaborative space to help you rediscover your wisdom, process difficult material, and heal from trauma. I understand that life can bring about a number of painful and challenging experiences, often leaving us deeply impacted. While these moments can have a lasting effect on our relationships, therapy can help us find new ways of understanding our experiences and can help us rediscover our strengths as we move toward healing. I have extensive experience providing therapy to adults, emerging adults, couples, LGBTQI+, and culturally and ethnically diverse populations. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy, EMDR, Art Therapy and Mindfulness-based Therapy.
Specialties: I specialize in treating trauma/post-traumatic stress, marital conflict, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and provide parenting tools and support.

I welcome you to bring your whole self by creating a space where you will be met with authenticity and non-judgement. The process of change is a path that has barriers to cross and conversations to get through but the process meets you in the places you are willing and wanting to change.

Therapist (Not taking new clients)
She/Her/Hers
Bio: I work with people who are struggling with where they are and are looking for support to ease their burdens. It can be scary and lonely to hold all your challenges to yourself and I want to work with you to create a space where you feel seen and safe enough to work through what you're dealing with together. You have gotten yourself this far by using the many strengths within you, and together we can build on those skills and explore what best serves you for the life you want to live. I believe that we learn and heal in relationships with others and that building a therapeutic relationship with a counselor that feels non-judgmental and supportive can be transformative. By expressing yourself and walking through your life's stories together we will work collaboratively to better understand your experiences and the cycles that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts. I work from an eclectic approach with a focus on what best suits your needs and facilitates self-compassion, empowerment, and peace.
