How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

I really enjoy working in the mental health field. I am passionate about helping others on their mental health journey. I use multiple modalities in my approach with clients. I believe in order for a client to reach their goals they must have a strong therapeutic alliance with their therapist. I always strive to make sure my clients feel welcomed, understood, heard and respected.
I have experience with the following disorders: Life Challenges Depression/Mood Brief Psychotic Anxiety OCD and Traumatic Stress Disorders. I encourage to reach out via email or phone to set up a time to talk. 

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! You can call me Mckenna or Kenna (they/them). I identify as Queer, neurodivergent, a “spoonie”, and was raised on the unceded land of the Duwamish people, now known as Seattle. As an ally to those with marginalized identities, I’m grounded in the belief that our collective liberation is interconnected. I recognize how structural harms shape our experiences and healing journeys, and I’m committed to creating an inclusive, gender-affirming, sex-positive space rooted in Health at Every Size, and beyond. My work blends Liberation Psychology and Feminist Theory, striving to be authentic, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive. I hold a MA from Antioch University Seattle, trained in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy and am currently accepting new clients at Playful Minds Counseling. I have experience providing LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent-affirming care to teens and young adults navigating their sexual orientation and gender exploration, life transitions, family dynamics (particularly for children of immigrants and third culture individuals), disability & chronic illness, trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, and suicidal ideation. I believe in the healing power of the creative arts and will introduce you to art therapy. Whether or not we incorporate art in our work together, creativity can show up in many ways, and I look forward to exploring that with you.

I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping individuals cope with the everyday stressors of life, reaching their full potential and seeing themselves in a new light. I have provided therapy to individuals from children to adults. I also have experience providing therapy to adults with cognitive challenges and have used modified treatment strategies to work effectively with that population. I will encourage you to talk about whatever it is you would like to work on to set the pace for your sessions and develop your treatment goals.

Life happens! You’re keeping it all together with coffee, spreadsheets, and sheer determination but the anxiety, burnout, and brain fog are starting to creep in. You’re not looking for deep-dive therapy you want a prescriber who listens, doesn’t judge, and actually helps. I provide virtual/in-person psychiatry treatment and medication management for high-functioning individuals who want to feel better without the runaround. I’ll collaborate with your goals (and your therapist, if you have one) to help you feel more like yourself with fewer breakdowns at the Walmart parking lot. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with extensive experience specializing in medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and a lot of other mental health diagnosis. I work with high-functioning clients who are ready for real solutions—not guesswork. My approach is thorough, collaborative, and designed to work with your busy life. No pressure, no judgment, just straightforward, personalized care. You’ve been showing up for everyone else, and now it’s catching up with you. The stress, exhaustion, and anxiety don’t have to be your default setting. When you’re ready, I’m here. Let’s tackle it together.

Hi and welcome! I value authentic and empowering therapy to support individuals and relationships in (re)discovering joy, fulfillment, and connection again. If you're interested in working together, visit my website or send me an email to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to knowing you!

Hey there, and welcome! I’m Maria, Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, bringing 20 years of experience—including over 14 years helping military folks navigate life. I’m here to be your guide through the tough stuff—whether it’s a big life change, relationship hiccups, anxiety that won’t quit, or just a craving for some clarity. Forget the cliché “bounce back” nonsense—resilience is about growing through the chaos and coming out stronger, with a side of self-compassion. In our laid-back, supportive space, we’ll mix solid, evidence-based therapy with a personal touch that’s all about you. We’ll unpack your story, find those lightbulb moments, and build skills to help you not just get by, but really thrive. My goal? To spark a little empowerment, boost your self-awareness, and nudge you toward a life that feels right—not just “fine.” If you’re ready to tap into your inner strength and take the reigns, I’m here to walk with you—with empathy, a direct approach, and some humor. Let’s make it a journey worth taking!
