Yes, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience — but first, I’m a human who understands that life can feel overwhelming, confusing, and deeply challenging at times. Therapy isn’t just about talking to someone; it’s about working with someone who understands how complex and challenging life can be. I show up exactly where you are, a safe space free of judgement and profound understanding. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, and the quiet internal battles that don’t always show on the outside. Many of the people I see are capable and responsible, yet feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to move forward. I’m deeply dedicated to meeting people exactly where they are — without judgment — while also helping them grow. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking; it’s about understanding yourself more clearly and learning tools you can begin using immediately. I blend practical strategies with deeper emotional work so that insight turns into real-life change. My goal is to help you feel more steady, more self-aware, and more confident navigating your relationships and your life.

I also bring experience supporting military members and others who have experienced trauma, including PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. My approach to therapy is collaborative. I believe that therapy works best when we work together as a team. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can share your story openly and feel heard without judgment. From there, we can explore practical tools and strategies that help you make meaningful and healthy changes in your life. Seeking support can feel like a big step, and I respect the courage it takes to begin the process. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Have you ever felt that something was missing from your life, as though you were attempting to reach a destination; however, it could not be reached? We will be looking at ways to fill up our lives that provide feelings of purpose. Sometimes it's easy to look for the next quick fix only to discover we are right where we started.

Hi, I’m Kyra. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington, I support adults and parents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and life transitions who feel stuck, disconnected, or worn down. As a mom, former military spouse, and current law enforcement spouse, I understand the invisible load of high-stress roles and the pressure to hold everything together. My lived experience allows me to approach therapy with empathy, cultural understanding, and deep respect for the challenges faced by individuals and families in high-stress roles. I use an eclectic, person-centered approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to meet you where you are and support you in reaching your goals. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I believe your care should reflect your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. Even when you feel stuck, movement is possible. My role is to partner with you in a judgment-free space where you can regroup, build confidence, and reconnect with your strengths. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I provide trauma-informed, client-centered counseling with an emphasis on somatic awareness and nervous system regulation. Clients often seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or constrained by patterns that developed in response to past experiences. My role is to support you in building safety, increasing emotional and physiological regulation, and developing the capacity for meaningful and sustainable change. My approach is integrative and outcome-focused, combining relational therapy with solution-focused and body-based interventions. Treatment is collaborative and tailored to your goals, with attention to symptom reduction, improved functioning, and increased flexibility in how you respond to internal and external stressors. Somatic therapy is a central component of my work. With training in yoga therapy, massage therapy, and body-oriented psychotherapy, I incorporate interventions such as grounding techniques, breath regulation, mindfulness practices, guided imagery, and gentle movement when clinically appropriate and with your consent. These approaches support increased interoceptive awareness, reduced trauma-related activation, and a more regulated nervous system. This work is particularly effective for individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD symptoms, anxiety, chronic stress, and disordered eating. I help clients identify and modify patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that no longer support well-being, while also addressing the underlying physiological responses that maintain these patterns. Therapy is relational, structured, and often short- to medium-term, though length of treatment varies based on individual goals and clinical needs. Progress toward goals is reviewed regularly to ensure treatment remains effective and aligned. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and participate actively in the therapeutic process. Transparency, collaboration, and respect are foundational to my work.

My name is Sonia McKee and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LW61517947) and have experience as Mental Health Therapist. Growing up, I thought there was something wrong with me because I was so scared of life and failure. There were times when I could not stop the racing thoughts, my heart beating so fast, feeling like I was out of breath, sleepless nights, headaches, and muscle tension. I tried to ignore my worries, fears, anxieties, and stress. Mental health and treatment were very stigmatized, which lead to me suffering quietly. As I grew up, I realized I was not alone in experiencing anxiety. I was determined to find the secret of being brave and having courage while managing anxiety. As I started to improve, I decided that I wanted to share the information I have learned with others so they could also face life while managing their anxiety, stress, and worries.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Washington rather than a city like Seattle?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Washington. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Washington from Spokane to Tacoma! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Washington.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
