Book 10+ of the best Child or Adolescent therapists in Washington

Hi, my name is Vienna Aslanian, and I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since the beginning of 2017. I chose to become a therapist after practicing in the field of social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with PTSD and childhood trauma. Seeing the intergenerational struggles and hearing people's personal stories on the matter made me interested in the field of therapy. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection with someone. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and supportive guidance. I believe in the importance of empathy and nonjudgment; I value making you feel cared about and understood. I hold myself to high expectations regarding reliability and consistency in order to provide the best support and care possible. I attend training regularly on the best and most effective practices/therapeutic modalities.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 4 years of experience as a therapist I have experience in helping clients across the lifespan with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I became a therapist to help people find healing, peace, confidence and fulfillment. One of my mentors described being a therapist as being a Sherpa-a guide through the wilderness of life, and I love that metaphor. Whatever your peak looks like, I want to help you get there.

I try to provide a safe and private space where someone can process their feelings and emotions and discuss the difficulties they are experiencing. I like to help people find solutions to the problems they are having and help them continue living their lives without their traumas or their past weighing them down. Every person deserves to live life to the fullest. You can search my website on www.collinscounselingcenter.org.

I am a LPC with a PhD in psychology from Walden University. I have been counseling for almost 20 years. Before that, I was a teacher working with students with emotional concerns and their families. I know that it can be very difficult to take the first step to seek counseling. My intent the moment you “walk through the door” is for you to feel safe, cared for, listened to, and above all, understood. I am not here to judge or condemn. We all have our stuff. Life gets messy. Life can be complicated. I grew up in a Christian family riddled with dysfunction; alcoholism, addiction, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, suicidal ideation, and chronic medical issues. I have also worked in the educational sector with children with behavior issues, ADHD, ODD, OCD, attachment disorder, autism, as well as anxiety and depression. I am a people person. I am empathetic, I listen, I am real, and I can help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with three years of independent clinical experience and over ten years of experience in human services, case management, vocational rehabilitation services, and working at inpatient and outpatient clinical therapy offices. I have a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Ohio University, a masters degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health counseling from UNC-Chapel Hill, and a bachelors of science degree in psychology from North Carolina State University. I chose to get a PhD in counseling because of my desire to help others, and my continuous drive to learn and grow. Therapy was essential to me as a teenager, then as a young adult, and now as a middle-aged adult. I have always found it to be a powerful tool in allowing me to process my thoughts and feelings, both about my past and my future. As a result, I chose to become a therapist, to provide the same support and guidance to the people I work with!

Hello there! Life is a journey, and we all need help sometimes. Congratulations on making the first step to taking back control over your life.

I am currently licensed to provide telehealth therapy to clients residing in California, Washington, and Oregon. As a second-generation Korean American, I deeply understand the complex intersections of culture, family expectations, and identity that many individuals—especially from Asian, Pacific Islander, and immigrant backgrounds—navigate daily. I specialize in helping clients of all ages (6–85) untangle painful family dynamics, work through cultural and intergenerational conflicts, and heal from relational wounds and past trauma. Whether you're a child, teen, adult, or family seeking support, I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where we can explore and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, break cycles of emotional pain, and move toward healthier ways of relating—with yourself and others. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, academic or career stress, spiritual conflict, grief, and behavioral struggles such as substance use, compulsive behaviors, and lifestyle challenges rooted in unresolved trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with cultural sensitivity and a strong belief in your ability to grow, heal, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. If you're feeling stuck in painful patterns or difficult relationships, I invite you to reach out and begin your journey toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional freedom.
