Therapists licensed in Washington

I'm Anabel, a clinical social worker and certified trauma therapist in TX and WA states, working with high-functioning anxiety and PTSD who are quietly drowning. I'm also a wife, a stepmom, a reader, a Swiftie, and a person who has spent years studying the specific kind of exhaustion that comes from being the one everyone else relies on. I work with people who are really good at holding it all together - until they are not. My practice, Surviving to Thriving, exists for people who are ready to stop white-knuckling their way through life and start actually living it.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and have been practicing since 2020. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical and School Counseling from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships so they can break unhelpful patterns and respond to life with greater intention. My work often focuses on anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, self-esteem, boundaries, and major life transitions. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to each person’s needs and goals, drawing from approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, resilience, and confidence while creating meaningful and sustainable change. Outside of therapy, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, painting, journaling, and spending time with family and friends.

I have been practicing for over three years, in addition to two years of practicum experience, and I hold a Master’s in Social Work. I am also nearing completion of my Doctorate in Social Work. As my ideal client, you are someone who recognizes the challenges you are facing and is motivated to seek support, guidance, and resources to work through them.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor that has been actively practicing with a variety of ages and issues for the past 15 years. The bulk of my work has been with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, group, and couple's counseling work. I have done a large amount of extra training in trauma work, neurodivergence, attachment and relational issues. I blend several modalities in order to provide a person centered, strengths-based approach that best fits the individual client. I am a believer that the tools to heal are already inherently inside of all of us, and work to help you find your way to your stability, growth, and comfort.

Hi there! With over three years of experience as a therapist, I have found my specialty in supporting individuals as they navigate the lasting impact of childhood trauma. I’m passionate about helping clients understand their experiences, develop healthier patterns, build self-awareness, and move forward with greater confidence, compassion, and resilience.

I'm a warm, direct, occasionally irreverent therapist who believes growth happens through honest connection, curiosity, and a little humor. My background in trauma work taught me that understanding our patterns matters, but learning to challenge them is where change begins. Clients seeking to understand where to interrupt their patterns and how to do so often enjoy working with me. My experience includes years working with people navigating complex trauma, shame, difficult relationships, emotional avoidance, and deeply ingrained survival strategies. I've worked with individuals who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood, judged, or defined by their worst moments. That experience shaped my belief that accountability and compassion aren't opposites. We can understand why we developed a behavior without deciding that we have to keep it. My approach is collaborative, active, and experiential. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches, but I don't believe meaningful change happens simply because we can name a concept. We'll explore how your patterns show up in real life, examine the assumptions and emotions underneath them, and experiment with new ways of responding. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves, even when they don't quite know where to begin. You don't need to arrive with perfect insight, the right words, or a clear roadmap. Just a willingness to get curious about what's happening and consider what might be possible. You're the expert on your experiences. My role is to bring another perspective, help you notice what might be difficult to see from the inside, and support you in deciding what you'd like to do differently. And yes, sometimes I'll challenge you. But I'll never ask you to do something difficult without respecting how difficult it actually is.
