Therapists in Washington

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a PhD in Psychology and have been providing counseling services since 2001. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with individuals who have experienced trauma, including sexual assault, domestic violence, and other significant life challenges. I am passionate about providing compassionate, trauma-informed, person-centered care that helps clients feel supported, empowered, and understood as they navigate healing and personal growth. I believe in wellness for the whole person — emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. In addition to my work as a therapist, Clinical Director, and professor, I enjoy working out and competing in bodybuilding and powerlifting competitions. Fitness has become an important part of my own wellness journey and helps me stay energized, grounded, and motivated both personally and professionally. I truly value the opportunity to walk alongside others as they work toward healing, resilience, and creating a life worth living.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, anger, and difficult life transitions in a practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional healing and stronger relationships.

Hello! I'm John, a compassionate and grounded therapist. I practice psychodynamic therapy, drawing on narrative, somatic, and EMDR approaches to meet you where you are and tailor sessions to your needs. I spent the last five years working with teens, young adults, and parents at a local community health organization, and I'm excited to bring that experience to Grow Therapy. I see change as a marathon, not a sprint. We'll start by focusing on immediate symptom reduction — helping you move out of constant fight-or-flight reactions. Once you're not in that reactive state so often, we can work toward deeper, lasting change. It took years for you to get where you are, so established patterns won't shift overnight. Part of our work together will be helping you build compassion for yourself along the way. You're human, and you won't be perfect. Real change happens when you make the same old mistake, remember you're on a healing journey, extend yourself some grace, do the necessary repair work, and try again. I especially love working with parents at every stage of life. Parenting is a hard job — nobody can push our buttons quite like our own kids. As a parent myself, I understand how difficult it can be to stay grounded and offer loving, consistent boundaries when our kids — whether babies, toddlers, teens, or adults — are testing us. My approach is tailored to your needs: I use somatic tools to help your body learn what calm and safety feel like, cognitive tools to help shift how you think about and approach situations, and pattern-recognition work to help you identify habits formed early in life — so you can notice your reactions in the moment and choose to respond differently.

My name is Dr. Christine Gomes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I specialize in trauma treatment. I believe that we are healthiest when we turn toward ourselves with love and compassion and accept ourselves for who we truly are.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, I hope to join you and help you see that you are not alone in the struggle. You are your greatest healer, and I will be your guide along the way.

I am a licensed therapist with many years of experience in different situations. I have worked in private practice, group practices, community mental health and corrections.

I am a licensed therapist, educator, and relationship strategist committed to helping individuals, couples, and families build healthier emotional and relational lives. Through my clinical practice, Life Essentials Counseling, and my relationship-focused work with Love in Action, I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and generational patterns. My approach is culturally responsive, systems-oriented, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I create a space that is direct, compassionate, and empowering—where clients can increase insight, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and make intentional changes that align with their values and long-term goals.

I’m Monica Guillén, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR Therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults in Washington and Florida. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions. Many clients seek therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or living in constant survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally responsive. Therapy with me is supportive, structured, and paced to meet your needs. When appropriate, I use EMDR therapy to help process unresolved or distressing experiences so they no longer drive emotional reactions, anxiety, or self-doubt. I also integrate evidence-based tools to support nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and day-to-day coping. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I understand how culture, family roles, and systemic stressors impact mental health. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and respected without judgment. Therapy is not about fixing you—it is about helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I offer telehealth services to adults seeking trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, and support during major life changes. My goal is to help clients feel calmer, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life with resilience, balance, and self-trust.

Hello everyone. I would first like to say that I am pleased to have the opportunity of being your counselor/therapist. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington with certification specializing in Women's Mental Health (WMHS-C).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with five 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! For almost two decades, I have been counseling clients, and I find it a great honor to walk alongside people, partnering with them in the hard. I grew up with a schizophrenic father. I felt intense fear, shame, and loneliness throughout my formative years. I did a phenomenal job at numbing pain and people pleasing, while my pain festered. Learning how to see and feel my pain has been transformative. I am grateful for the story I have and believe the restored is always better than the original.
