"I am a queer and disabled counselor who explores how the intersections of our identity inform our relationships and beliefs about our place in the world."

I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) with 3 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, self-esteem, identity exploration, and life stressors. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and those living with chronic illness, providing affirming, person-centered care that honors each client’s lived experience and individuality.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Antioch University. My work is informed by attachment-based and narrative approaches, with an emphasis on helping clients build self-advocacy skills, increase self-compassion, and develop a deeper understanding of their personal stories and relationships.

Therapy with me begins with your story. Together, we will explore what brings you stress, where you find meaning, and what may be standing in your way. My goal is to help you take up space in your own life, release guilt and shame, and move toward a sense of confidence, balance, and peace.

"I hold a firm belief that all clients sometimes need a little bit of help to be the best versions of themselves."

"As your therapist, I aim to create a safe, judgment-free environment to allow for both individual growth and the growth of a strong therapeutic relationship."

Hi, I’m Meredith, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience supporting adults (18+) navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, emotion regulation difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally responsive, and social justice-oriented. I value the therapeutic relationship and aim to support both personal growth and genuine connection.

I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, & Motivational Interviewing. I practice from a warm, relational, & strengths-based framework that honors your lived experience while helping you build practical skills.

I know that finding the right therapist can feel daunting. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can deepen self-awareness, process difficult emotions, and begin to release beliefs or narratives that have diminished your sense of worth. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out.

"As someone who struggled growing up in this complex world, I've come to learn that it is very important to have a range of support to lean on at any stage in life. "

Hi, I'm Kelsey. I currently practice in Washington State, with a focus on youth and young adults. I received an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Antioch University Seattle in 2021, and since have gained various experience working in community mental health, child advocacy, university healthcare, and group practice settings. I received full licensure in 2023, having been witness to great supervision and mentorship. I usually work with clients facing struggles with emotional concerns, identity/body issues, loss/grief, trauma, relationship problems, low self-worth, and big life transitions. 

My style is warm, creative, and nonchallenging. My approach might include gentle thought restructuring, building coping skills, identity exploration, self-compassion building, and other tools tailored to you or your child's needs. I use a multicultural and systemic lens, collaborating with caregivers, family, other providers, or school supports as needed. 

Making the decision to reach out for support is a sign of strength, so thank you for being here! It has been such an honor to witness people grow and reach resiliency, and we are not built to do it alone. I look forward to connecting with you and becoming witness to your journey toward healing, too.
