Somatic Therapists in Washington

I am an LSWAIC, a Licensed Social Worker Associate–Independent Clinical. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Kentucky in 2024. I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I am deeply committed to supporting people as they navigate challenging seasons of life. I have worked with—and continue to support—a diverse range of clients experiencing trauma, low self-esteem and self-confidence, depression, and anxiety. Through this work, I have come to appreciate the importance of advocacy, client empowerment, and treating people with dignity during difficult moments, while ensuring their needs and voices are heard within complex systems. Drawing on my BSW and MSW training, I provide therapy informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–informed skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is collaborative and practical, helping clients build insight, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and develop sustainable coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

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.

My passion is to help survivors of trauma, challenging life experiences and grief events become unstuck and break the cycle of emotional pain. Often these problematic situations from the past have led to an inability to move forward in life, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Sometimes they lead to questioning your purpose in life. If you're feeling lost, hurt, and emotionally overwhelmed, and looking to heal from the past so you can move forward into a brighter future, I'd love to come alongside you on your journey.

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.

Hi i'm Sam (she/her), so great you are considering if I would be a good fit. I like to describe my approach as a counselor as a humanistic approach. I understand you'll bring who you are into the therapy space, as will I. This honors your unique story and allows for more authentic alignment towards goals that are most important to you. I primarily practice through the lense of mindfulness and self compassion, although I have specialized training in several areas associated with treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Eating Disorders. I hope you'll reach out to consider scheduling a consultation to see if i'd be a good fit for your needs.
