Psychodynamic Therapists in Washington

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in the therapeutic field for over 20 years. People want to be heard, loved, and accepted without judgment for their thoughts and feelings. As a therapist, I provide that safe space for individuals to do so. I take pride in helping my clients look beyond the surface of personal challenges to identify and heal root issues. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults with mental health conditions and other social stressors. I specialize in helping individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship and parenting issues.

Hi, I’m Caitlin, a second generation Vietnamese therapist based in Washington offering telehealth services for adults navigating intergenerational trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed—grounded in curiosity, compassion, and cultural humility. I’m here to support you in untangling the past, making sense of the present, and moving toward a more grounded and connected future. I hope we can walk this path together!

I'm a queer, neurodivergent sex and relationship therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and larger relationship constellations. I help my clients increase their comfort with their bodies and sexualities, better connect to their loved ones, find peace from anxiety, and move away from shame. Though I work with all clients, I particularly love working with other queer and/or neurodivergent people. I also specialize in clients healing from religious trauma.

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 not the kind of therapist we envision from classic tv shows with the couch & the nods and smiles. I’m pretty active in session. I‘m curious and investigative and I want to dig in deep so your understanding and compassion for yourself can start to emerge and aha moments can begin. I will encourage you to turn the inner insights you have through our sessions into steps in the outer world. This is a gentle process that goes at your pace.

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years….but there is more than an education or experience.  My work has been filled with the lives of people I have been able to witness heal traumas, or find a new journey, or come to themselves more fully.  Counseling may bring relief, recovery, tools to use or release from pain. Healing is a pathway and I get to walk beside you. I will hold the hope until you can hold it, and I will be honored to go on your journey with you. 

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC with a multi-state license (FL,MT,AZ,WA, and more). My philosophy centers on holistic care, addressing immediate crises and the entire person. I am dedicated to educating others on the vital importance of mental health, equating it with physical health in its significance. I believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of their circumstances, choices, or past experiences. Our mission is to make quality mental health care accessible to all. Our clients benefit from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT and DBT. I specialize in Cognitive and Dialectal Behavior Therapy treatment methods (CBT and DBT). I provide treatment for medication management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, and addiction/substance abuse. The first session is an initial evaluation, which includes developing a treatment plan. Subsequent sessions include medication management and ongoing assessment of treatment effectiveness. We provide virtual and in-person treatment sessions .(* NO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES THROUGH TELEHEALTH) TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my approach to patient care centers around compassion and collaboration. I believe in treating each person as a whole, considering their unique experiences and needs. I engage actively with my patients, ensuring they feel heard and involved in their treatment journey. My core values include empathy, respect, and integrity. I use evidence-based practices to develop personalized treatment plans, combining medication management with various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, I strive to create a supportive environment where patients can thrive and reclaim their mental wellness.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist helping women and teen girls eliminate shame, heal trauma, improve depression and anxiety symptoms, gain self-esteem, and experience hope for the future. I use somatic and attachment-focused EMDR, evidence-based psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral interventions, as well as compassion and non-judgement, to improve your current symptoms and heal the root of your issues.
