Children Therapists in Washington

I’m Gwendolyn Barnhart, PhD, PsyD, EdD, a licensed clinical psychologist with a cross-jurisdictional private practice serving Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alaska, British Columbia, and PSYPACT states. I have vast experience working with neurodivergence, intellectual and developmental disabilities, in multicultural settings. I primarily serve clients who identify with autism and ADHD. As an AuDHD psychologist, I bring lived experience alongside clinical expertise, which helps me create spaces that feel safer, clearer, and more attuned to neurodivergent needs.

Hi, I’m Paul. I am a Licensed Therapist and my goal is to help you discover ways forward through distress towards wellness. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Distress is experienced in many different ways that impact our ability to function and cope within a healthy framework. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth behavioral patterns and pain perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or are just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a session. Thanks. Hope I can be a resource.

Congrats on deciding on therapy! Choosing a therapist is a daunting task. I have over 14 years of experience with couples, families, children and individuals. I believe you are the expert on you. I bring the outside perspective to help highlight challenges, find new ways of interacting with your self and others. I use humor, straight talk and empathy to build trust and find solutions.

I am a Licensed Clinical mental Health Counselor who has been in professional counseling practice since December 2013, and in private practice since October 2016. I have worked with clients from all walks of life and various situations. I hold a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, awarded in 2012 with Graduate Honors. Additionally, I continuously participate in continuing education, to increase my skills and knowledge in the field, in order to help clients in the most efficient and effective ways possible. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, going to movies, and spending time with my friends.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults and young adults manage anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who integrates EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and CBT to help clients move from survival to growth. I work best with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal from the past, and take active steps toward meaningful change in their relationships and daily life.

You are not broken—you are becoming. Life brings challenges, and therapy can be a space where you feel safe, accepted, and empowered to grow at your own pace. I believe in a compassionate, collaborative approach that blends evidence-based practices with genuine curiosity about your unique story. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, track progress, and set meaningful goals that support healing and resilience. I am an EMDR certified therapist and child mental health specialist, licensed in both Washington and Idaho, with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Gonzaga University.

Hello, I'm Sara and LCSW with expereince as a social worker and a therapist for both families and individuals. I help clients achieve their goals by helping them become aware of their own potential. I often start this process by teaching mindfulness and feelings awareness to help clients feel empowered to solve their own emotional problems by learning to cope. I assist clients on what they are feeling and help them learn how to feel things in a safe way. From the time I was young I knew what it felt like to feel grief, and complex emotions regarding myself and my relationships and I am incredibly empathetic and passionate towards others as they begin to heal as someone who has been on both sides of the table. Please reach out, and thank you for inviting me into your healing journey.

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.
