Trauma Therapists in Washington

With over twenty years experience as a therapist, I have always considered it a privilege to be allowed into the most intimate details of my clients' lives, their pain, their sorrows and their joys. Using a collaborative approach, I help clients gain insight into the thoughts and behaviors that may be holding them back. I help clients to draw on their strengths, and to learn coping skills in order to improve their lives, and find greater happiness. I specialize in mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, sexual addiction, grief, trauma and anxiety. Therapy, can be hard but rewarding work, and I honor your trust by providing a safe and supportive environment in which you can share your story and heal.

Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Perspective clients need to know I genuinely care about the people I work with, and have a passion for joining people on their journey to a new self. The fact that you are searching for a therapist shows you would like something to change. This is very brave. We often lose perspective about situations and how we deal with them. This can be a result of things we have buried from our past, or relationships that did not support us in the way we need. I will give you a safe and supportive place to look at your unwelcome patterns and find a way to make your journey more fulfilling. My counseling focus is on adolescents, adults, and elders (65+). My philosophy is client-centered, Mindfulness based, trauma informed, and goal oriented. I have training and experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. My areas of focus include trauma, attachment issues, difficulties with distress tolerance and emotional regulation, along with families dealing with Alzheimer's. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are what make you who you are. As we work together to understand these parts of you, we will find a way to alter those thoughts that no longer work for you and strengthen those that are helping you become who you wish to be.

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. My areas of strength are with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationships and helping clients with their general sense of life struggles. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches while trying to match my clients with what works for them and what they feel comfortable in utilizing.

I am a Spanish-speaking, first-generation mental health therapist with extensive experience since 2017 in both inpatient and outpatient community mental health settings. I specialize in various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy. I work with a diverse range of clients, helping them navigate mental health challenges, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall well-being. My culturally sensitive approach has significantly impacted my clients' lives, empowering them to achieve personal growth and resilience.

I work with you to help you build a life worth living, guiding you to the goals and contentment you seek. We will work together in a supportive environment on this journey toward change. I believe in helping clients find ways to jumpstart their change in a goal-oriented manner. Clients and I work together to set goals that help them move forward.

The hardest step to therapy Is making the first call. Let me help you on your journey to healing and living your best life!

My name is Percival Fisher, Jr. However, you can call me "Percy" and I have been providing individual and group psychotherapy for 12 years. I am here to assist you in reaching your goals in therapy. I provide a safe, warm, and interactive space to talk about your presenting issues. I have experience providing therapy to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, "coming out"/LGBTQIA-related issues, and family conflicts.

Hello! My name is Max Croteau and I have had the pleasure of being a licensed professional counselor for almost 10 years now. In this time, I have been able to mold my style of understanding, accepting while also challenging and motivational into a successful model of growth and change for those who choose to work with me. I truly am a believer that therapy can sometimes be a side-by-side process, or it can be a process where one guides and the other follows, but ultimately the choice is up to you. I don’t want you to live a life that I tell you to live. I want to help you find a life that is truly a genuine fit for yourself and one that you can see yourself living without even having to think about it. I’ve specialized in addiction, OCD, trauma therapy, family and couples counseling and various other topics in the world of mental health. One important factor that I have found is that each person has their own individual story and their journey will be just as individualized. No matter how similar, we are all different. A cookie cutter approach to the rest of your life is not something that you will get from me. I will truly meet you where you are and work with you every step of the way to achieve the success that you are looking for. I always guarantee every person I work with that therapy may not be easy, but in the end, it will be incredibly worthwhile. I’d love to start and/or continue that journey. Growth has no final destination, just the journey. It’s up to you what path you’d like to take.

Hi there! Thank you for taking a few moments to review my bio! My name is Ashley, and I have a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Washington in Seattle, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Indiana and Washington. For over 19 years, I have worked in the field of social work, addressing issues such as involvement in the child welfare system (foster care and adoption), trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use a strength-based approach and cognitive behavioral techniques to target maladaptive thinking patterns and help you obtain change that is sustainable! *If you book a session and would like to be seen sooner than my listed availability, please send me a message! I will do my best to accommodate whenever possible!

Navigating through the journey of life we inevitably run into hindrances that challenge our momentum. Change is hard and can often be sudden and unpredictable, leaving us without the proper tools to cope with these changes. We have to learn to acclimate to our surroundings on our terms. Whether it's a traumatic response, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, loss of confidence, feeling lost and overwhelmed, feelings of depression or stagnation, there's hope. It takes courage to look into a mirror and see who's looking back, it takes strength to want to make a change and hope to inspire change. My goal is to inspire Hope. To inspire people to look inward and see what is there, what already exists. I want to see people believe in themselves. My goal is to assist people in regaining a strong and confident sense of self.

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 know finding a therapist in todays society can be difficult but you've made it this far, and so it's a pleasure to meet you!

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.

My name is Dr. Angela Heiligenthal. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty years of experience. I work with adults who have experienced trauma and/or are in the midst of significant life transitions. Therapy can be a safe and non-judgmental space to open up, reflect, and grow. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs. My approach is collaborative and culturally responsive, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will work towards achieving your goals. I will provide that safe space to help you overcome pain, empower yourself, and cultivate hope. Therapy can be a journey of healing and growth, and I would feel privileged to walk beside you on that journey.

There is nothing more rewarding to me than assisting individuals in resolving the trauma that affects their lives. In my experience, the resolution of trauma has a knock-on effect that resolves many other issues the person may be experiencing. My approach is strongly based on a collaborative working relationship between the client and myself, where the client is the active partner in charge of their own recovery. I encourage the client to explore their past and present in order to understand how both have helped and hindered their ability to achieve their goals in life and in relationships. Establishing a clear timeline and connecting the dots from past experiences to what is currently going on in the client’s life is a powerful way to motivate them toward change.

Welcome! I’m Ronica Sobiech. Thank you for taking a moment to get to know me. Scheduling that first appointment for mental health can be tough. It is the hardest part of the journey. Finding a provider that fits your personality and needs can also be a challenge. Take a moment to get to know me to determine if you feel we will be a good fit to help you be a better version of you. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 17 years of experience providing clinical counseling to active-duty military service members, retirees, and their families. I graduated in 2003 from the University of Washington, School of Social Work. I have extensive experience assisting clients with a broad range of concerns, including crisis intervention, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, and trauma/PTSD.

I am an 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 was born in Managua, Nicaragua but moved to the United States at a young age. I can say that I’ve learned to appreciate, value, and grow from every experience given in life. Good or bad experiences can potentially shape who we are. They can impact our view and perspective about life, and make us stronger to overcome challenges we face throughout our journey or disable us temporarily, making the journey less enjoyable and pleasing. I always had a strong desire to help others. I found in Psychology and Therapy a good option to provide others the needed tools to move forward, so they can find within them the strength to push toward a better and more productive lifestyle. I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also feel an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person.

Therapy is your space. A space to pause. To exhale. To say the things you’ve been holding in. It’s yours—whether you’re working through a tough transition, feeling overwhelmed, carrying old pain, or just trying to make sense of what’s next. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, I offer a safe, affirming space to grow through what you're going through. In a world that can feel overwhelming—especially in times of political and societal change — you don’t have to navigate it alone. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Please book a free, 15-minute consult call so we are both sure our connection is a good fit. If my posted availability doesn't fit your schedule, visit SunriseLCSW.com and send me a message.

I also recognize and honor the unique challenges faced by military service members, veterans, and their families. Whether navigating the demands of military life, the stress of transitions, or the impact of service-related experiences, I provide a space for healing, resilience, and growth.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington and began my education at the University of Washington receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology. I went on to receive a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University in Seattle, Washington. After spending 8 years in the United States Army, I felt I could continue to serve my community and country by more intimately assisting those in need. I wanted to first understand "why do people do the things they do?" and second, learn how to help those people use their freedom to enjoy the life they want to live. I have worked in the mental health and social services field since 2008 with experiences that range from being a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children, a Behavioral Support Specialist for youth with disabilities and at-risk youth, a Child and Family Therapist, and an Adult Therapist for adults with serious (chronic) mental illness and substance use. I have been in private practice since 2019 continuing to help individuals and families with a variety of mental health needs.

I approach our time together with integrating Christian, biblically, faith-based principles along with clinical treatment approaches and techniques tailored for you. I'm a narrative therapist at heart, which means we all have a story of our lives, and in the sharing of our story, we discover possible meaning, insights, healing, and growth. It is my goal to create an inviting, warm, safe place for you to share that story, and we can discover together how the Lord wants to bring healing and hope. It is my hope that people will take away from sessions feeling supported, cared for, listened to, not alone, comforted, encouraged, and with a spark of faith that it is ok to have the courage to hope again.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, where we’re exploring together what helps you feel more grounded, capable, and connected. A quick note: My practice focuses on working with individuals.

If you’re looking for therapy for you and your partner together, I encourage finding a therapist who specializes in couples work to ensure you get the most out of that experience.

Clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! Together, we'll co-create a balanced approach combining active listening with practical techniques, helping you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles.

As an LCSW, I'm trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and am a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your wants, needs, and emotions. You know yourself best, and our work is about uncovering your truths rather than imposing mine. Together, we'll determine the tools and approaches that best suit your needs, ensuring you feel heard, validated, and empowered. The goal is to help you confidently manage challenges independently over time. We'll walk side-by-side, with you gradually taking the lead and me offering steady support. If you have pressing concerns, those always take precedence. Our sessions focus on understanding HOW you think, not just WHAT you think, exploring both conscious and unconscious beliefs and emotions. You'll leave with clear, actionable steps, such as mindfulness exercises, creative writing prompts, meditation, and breathwork techniques to regulate emotions and reclaim your narrative. Therapy isn't about fixing what's "broken" but enhancing alignment and fulfillment while overcoming obstacles. By focusing on your goals and measuring progress, we can eliminate stigma, leaving shame behind and empowering you toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment.

My aim is to compassionately work with you to understand your concerns and their impact.

I spend a great deal of time building a connection with clients so that we can get to a place of vulnerability that feels comfortable. I incorporate science, reflection, warmth, and humor to sessions to help build a safe space for you. I am a Latina from Chicago, bilingual, and a musician in my spare time. I like to joke that "I never grew out of my emo phase" and being a therapist gives that statement a whole new meaning.

I support individuals in recognizing their strength and resilience regardless of the cards that were dealt to them. My therapeutic approach explores your environment and lived experience to better understand your strengths, needs, and hopes for the future. I believe that you have the power to heal yourself. I am simply a guide. I provide a non-judgmental safe space for you to freely express yourself. My approach is one that is direct, culturally relevant, sensitive, trauma informed, and non-shaming. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, and PTSD. I offer individual therapy rooted in mindfulness. Therapy can be hard and sometimes scary. I get it, I am here to support you on this journey. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to healing and self-re-discovery

Welcome to my practice at Grow Therapy! I'm Dr. Jessica Fritzges, a licensed clinical psychologist. I work with clients who are seeking care for concerns with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relational issues and personality disorders. I work from a collaborative, relationship-based model where the relationship built together in therapy is a core part of the healing process. Focusing together on growth and healing, we can work together to build upon your strengths and find new ways to work through challenges. Some treatment methods that may be useful include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR for trauma.
