Premera Blue Cross of Washington Therapists in Washington

My work is about meeting you where you are and helping you find clarity and stability when things feel overwhelming.

I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of experience in medical practice. I combine medication management with CBT to help patients take meaningful steps toward healing and long-term well-being.

I offer therapy rooted in my lived experience within the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kink, and neurodivergent communities, helping clients navigate their identities and relationships with confidence and authenticity

Good news: I accept most major insurance, including Molina Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Regence, Premera, Aetna, Cigna, Evernorth, and Kaiser. You deserve a therapist who truly understands. As a gay mental health professional and LGBTQ+ ally, I see how identity shapes mental health. I honor your cultural, racial, and gender identity, welcoming all backgrounds. Whether navigating anxiety, OCD, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, relationships, family conflict, grief, trauma, PTSD, or non-traditional relationships, I'm here for you. I create a warm, judgment-free space to process life's challenges and build meaningful growth. My approach combines genuine warmth with effective therapeutic methods. I meet you where you are today, not where you or others expect you to be. Together, we'll discover what's serving you, what's holding you back, and what transformation looks like for you. Expect real conversations, actionable strategies, and your own sacred space. Taking this step shows incredible courage, and I'm honored you're considering this journey with me. Whether you're working through challenges or ready to flourish, I'm here to walk alongside you. Let's talk about how we can create meaningful change together. I'd love to hear from you.

"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"

I am a trauma therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience as well as 8 years of MH work with my BA. I have worked with many people and diverse populations. I work from a place of intuition, trust and strength building. I believe our connection and relationship is the most important part of the process. I believe in a humorous, easy going, trustworthy, strengths building approach to therapy. I see individual adults in Washington state and I am currently adding more insurances each month. I also offer a sliding scale fee and opportunity for reimbursement from insurance. You can call or email me to schedule a 15 min consult.

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.
