Other: *** Please note that there needs to be a certain level of English Profiency for this process to transpire. I cannot accommodate a translator in session. If it is determined that there is a language barrier, you would need to seek a counselor who speaks in your 1st language. As you can see online counseling has a few more rules than in person and we will review this in session too. I am a mandatory reported of child and elder abuse and neglect and if I ever got subpoenaed to court, I would need to give up medical records. If you are not motivated to change and are just looking to vent or someone to listen, I may not be the best fit as my style is more for those motivated to change and are seeking a life coach. Before we can start working together there are some forms that are required. If we were in person, I would just hand them to you, but online, we do not have that option.

Finding a therapist can feel personal. You want someone who will listen, understand what matters to you, and help you make meaningful changes. I’m Natalie, and I’ve spent over 10 years helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, self esteem, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and honest. We can explore what you have been through, recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical ways to move forward. I know that culture, identity, relationships, and lived experiences shape how each of us sees the world, so I take time to understand what those mean for you. You do not need to have everything figured out before we begin.

I enjoy using humor in therapy. I feel that the client can be more relaxed with using this type of talk therapy. I was a nurse before I became a clinician and use some of my medical knowledge in your sessions. As a client you can decide how much or how little we focus on each topic. You are in charge of the sessions. I am here to help you balance your life and wishes.

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.

I identify as a strength-based, person-centered therapist, and I believe that everyone has inherent assets that can be utilized towards individual goals and aspirations. I believe in engaging in inclusive, authentic professional relationships that respect, honor and enhance our unique motivations and perspectives. I am committed to creating a nurturing and inspiring environment, and providing the support and guidance that promotes health, healing and harmony.

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.

My approach to therapy is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which means we will look at how your past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns shape how you feel and act today. However, human beings are complex, and a single formula does not fit everyone. I dynamically integrate multiple therapeutic techniques—drawing from cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness practices—tailoring each session to exactly what your unique situation warrants in the moment.I believe the clinical, sterile reputation of mental health care can often keep people from getting the support they deserve. Because of this, my primary goal is to demystify the therapeutic process and make our sessions feel as comfortable and natural as a genuine conversation.You do not need to worry about clinical jargon, cold assessments, or feeling like a case study. Instead, we will work as collaborative partners in a warm, down-to-earth space, talking through your challenges openly so you can understand yourself deeper and build a clearer path forward.

Hello, my name is Ace (they/them or ze/hir pronouns) and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the intersections of neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identity, and disability. Have you ever wished you could talk about your concerns without having to give a 101 level lecture first? Are you struggling to find treatment as an Autistic adult or an adult with ADHD? Whether you're undiagnosed, questioning, newly diagnosed, or just looking for some extra support, I'm here to meet you where you're at with tools and strategies that work. I'm a queer, Autistic, non-binary psychologist of color and I've spent the last seven years learning to provide support to members of my communities as they navigate systems of care not built for us. I believe that therapy should be collaborative and consensual, that evidence-based treatment must honor culture and neurotype, and that gender-affirming care is a human right. If you're struggling to build a system of supports and accommodations that will allow you to thrive, if you're questioning your gender or sexuality and need a guide, or if you're just looking for a safer space to process the everyday stresses of your life. You are welcome here.

My job is to help you grow at your own pace. I have worked with a wide variety of people and have enjoyed learning from my patients. I am optimistic about your ability to grow.

I have a strong background helping people manage and cope with their depression, general anxiety, social and performance anxiety, phobias, OCD, PTSD and trauma, and adjusting to major life changes. I have worked with parents to teach them how to regulate the emotions of their children. I am also trained in Imago Therapy and EFCT for couples I have a doctorate in Psychology, and I have been a Mental Health Therapist for 30 years.

I'm Ashley Cross, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor with over 15 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, stress, and other emotional challenges.

My name is Bradley Thomas. In many ways, I am just like you. I have worked, raised a family, battled physical challenges, had good relationships and had relationships fall apart. I continue to strive towards living my best life. I bring this same passion for life into our therapy sessions and consider it an honor to align myself with you and help you towards living your best life.

I want to work with you to gain the tools and strategies to help you move past the area that is of concern. I believe that we must find the positive and the good in each day, even if it's small, to give us the power and motivation to move forward. It is not always easy, but it is definitely worth it.

You carry big responsibilities, and it’s been heavy for too long. I work with executives, founders, business owners, and high-performing professionals who balance demanding careers with the responsibilities of being partners and parents. Together, we transform overwhelm, perfectionism, chronic stress, and work-life imbalance into clarity, resilience, and purposeful action. We will identify blind spots, remove roadblocks, and build workable boundaries so you can lead well at work, show up at home, and feel grounded in your relationships. Constant stress and exhaustion aren’t the cost of success. Drive and focus don’t make you immune to anxiety, burnout, sleepless racing thoughts, shame, manipulation, family complexity, or the echo of old injuries. Excellence doesn’t require perfection and saying no is okay. With over a decade of experience across multiple states, I blend psychotherapy with practical solutions by offering confidential, results-focused care tailored to your unique world. I also provide corporate mental health training, parent coordination, custody evaluations, co-parenting, reunification, and other psycho-legal consultations all delivered with discretion, expertise, and a deep understanding of high-stakes environments. If you’re ready for focused, actionable support, I’m here to help.

Hello, my name is Ryan Alan Suhr and I’m a licensed psychotherapist practicing as a professional counselor since 2005. With Graduate undergraduate training in philosophy, psychology, religion, linguistics, and anthropology. I try to help others find meaning and purpose in their personal experience of the human condition. I attempt to apply a conversational approach to matters that matter in service of improving relationships with self, other people, and the world.

Most people come to therapy carrying something specific: anxiety that won’t settle, a low stretch that has lasted too long, a loss, or a big change, whether they chose it or it chose them. Many also arrive having felt misunderstood or judged somewhere along the way. I’m a Seattle-based psychotherapist with 13 years of clinical experience working with adults of all ages, from young adults to elders. My approach is person-centered, which means you set the direction, and my style is laid-back but engaged. You’ll get a real person in the room, not a blank wall. I commonly work with: ▶︎ Anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout ▶︎ Life transitions: relationships, work, aging, identity ▶︎ Grief and loss ▶︎ Self-esteem and self-worth ▶︎ Relationship challenges (individual therapy) I’m an affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse clients, and I have long experience with polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kink communities. Whoever you are and however you live, you won’t spend your sessions educating your therapist. All sessions are virtual, anywhere in Washington.

Growing up in a military community as a student-athlete and bartender, I learned quickly that my passion and love for people would take the lead in picking a career. After receiving my master's degree at the University of Southern California in social work, I became clinically licensed in multiple states and worked in an acute hospital setting. After working in multiple hospitals and an array of community organizations I chose to focus on psychotherapy to help others on a more intimate level. With my acute care experience I welcome individuals navigating end of life decisions and trauma (whether it be physical or emotional). I have extensive experience working with couples experiencing communication issues and issues surrounding sex, connection and unhealthy cyclic behavior. Additionally, I see individuals working through all types of life transitions, depression and anxiety. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and focus on sex positive choices and all relationship types including polycules and ethically non monogamous partnerships. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution focused therapy (SFT) and emotional focused therapy (EFT). I look forward to working with individuals and couples in all different stages of life to help them process, heal, and move forward with proper coping skills to be as successful as possible.

Hi, I am a Licensed Counselor offering online individual therapy for adults. Life brings difficult thoughts, feelings, and hard situations that can pull you away from what matters most. You do not have to navigate these experiences alone. My approach centers primarily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Instead of trying to battle with the pain or challenges you are experiencing, we will work together to change how you relate to it.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who enjoys helping people work through the challenges life throws their way. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and everyday stressors. Life can be messy, and sometimes it feels like we're just trying to keep all the plates spinning without dropping one. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, speak freely, and even laugh occasionally. My approach is relaxed, genuine, and focused on helping you figure out what works best for you.

I have over 20 years of experience working with teens and adults (in schools and in the community), supporting people through a variety of issues, including: stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and big life transitions.

Now Accepting New Clients. 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.

I am a licensed psychologist and I view therapy as a collaborative, structured process tailored to each patient's unique physiological, psychological, and situational needs. Every client's journey is unique — I start by listening carefully to your story and the specific challenges bringing you to therapy. From there, we work as a team to identify the sources of your stress and build practical strategies that empower you to thrive in your day-to-day life. Whether we draw on present-focused skills, learn to navigate tough emotions, or process deeper memories — we decide the best path forward together. Grounded in a comprehensive lifespan perspective, my goal is to foster long-term resilience, functional recovery, and health optimization through evidence-based practice.

Hi, I’m Ashley therapist, animal lover, creative soul, and lifelong daydreamer. I bring a warm and down-to-earth approach to my work, and I believe that connection, curiosity, and authenticity are at the heart of healing. When I’m not in session, you can usually find me lost in a good book especially fantasy, romantasy, or dark romance (I’m a proud BookTok girly). Some of my favorite reads have come straight from client recommendations. I always love hearing what’s on your bookshelf. I’m also a big fan of all things crafty. Paper crafting is my go-to especially junk journals and mini albums but I’ve dabbled in wreaths, t-shirts, and tumblers. My creativity also spills into my love of music, which spans from Sleep Token to George Strait to Eminem. I’m always up for discovering new bands or catching a local show. On slower days, I love wandering through antique stores and thrift shops. Most of my home is decorated with pieces that have a story either found secondhand or passed down through family. I find comfort in giving old things new life. Animals have always been a grounding force in my world. I’ve been riding horses since I was four, and my heart horse, Kirby, is my trail buddy and snack-sharing best friend (she’s a big fan of applesauce and cupcakes). My two dogs, Oliver and Dottie, are certified therapy dogs who’ve joined me in visits to hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, and children’s reading programs. Together, Kirby, Oliver, and Dottie inspired the name Free to Wander Counseling, a reflection of my belief that healing often begins when we allow ourselves to explore, play, and connect in gentle, open-hearted ways. Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here just as you are.

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping others heal from their trauma. My true passion is being able to watch as my clients understand themselves on a deeper level, feel empowered and in control of their lives, and let their trauma become a part of their story rather than letting it dictate their lives. I love using EMDR to facilitate true healing, and DBT/CBT/TF-CBT to help clients learn the skills they need to manage symptoms as they come up. Every client I work with is met with warmth, a safe space to work through the deep pain, and acceptance at every level. Come as you are and we'll work together to get you to the most powerful version of you.

I believe in the power of becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable so as to push ourselves to step outside of our comfort zones.

Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems.

Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being. I draw from a multitude of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Clients who work with me have a desire to change. Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult.

Progress requires active participation, and I work best with clients who are ready to take responsibility for implementing new skills and strategies between sessions. My Style is: Straightforward – Honest and clear, but always respectful. Practical – Tools that work in everyday life, not just theory. Explorative – Space to reflect deeply in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Encouraging – Support that helps you feel capable, validated, and motivated to change. Accountability-focused – Growth comes from owning your choices and committing to real change. This works well if you are willing to: • Look at your own patterns and find areas for growth and change • Practice new skills between our sessions and create a plan for change • Stay open to feedback, exploration, and trying approaches that fit your unique needs
