Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Velile S. Nkolomi, and I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals achieve their best mental health. With certifications across Texas, Washington, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, I've dedicated my career to providing empathetic and effective care.

If you're looking for a dedicated professional to support your mental wellness journey, please feel free to reach out to me. Let's work together towards a brighter, healthier future.

My name is Nikki (Nakisha) Hughs. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with a variety of clientele in various environments. I believe this has allowed me the ability to provide the best possible care for my clients. A little about me, I grew up in the PNW, love the outdoors to specifically include anything water or mountains. In the spring and summer months, you will find me kayaking, jet skiing, white water river rafting, hiking and backpacking. The winter months, I enjoy hiking and snowshoeing. My ultimate passion and future goal include international traveling and possibly settling on a beach but continuing to practice telehealth. I am so glad you are here and have decided to embrace this journey together. 

Hi there. I help anxious perfectionists find contentment and renewed joy through self-acceptance. I provide counseling for anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and couples.

Hi, I'm Shirley Chapman, a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who is passionate about guiding individuals and couples on their journey toward emotional healing and reconnection. I am a trauma nurse and therapist with years of lived experiences, years of academic work, and specialized training in empirically researched therapeutic models. Some of my favorites are Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as integrating other models when appropriate to fit individual needs. I’m here to support you in reaching your goals for counseling and guiding you to create the life you seek where you can safely learn and grow as an individual or couple and thrive. Therapy Thrives.

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.

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.

Trauma focused Counselor with focuses on lifespan processing, art therapy and identity development & exploration. Serving adults 18 hrs and older.  

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.

My approach stems from a relational-experiential, solution-focused and systemic lens which gives clients room to share their voices, desires and needs while learning to engage in new patterns and ways of being together. I enjoy providing structure and tools for skill building to support improvement in communication, repair of past hurts, healing of trauma, and rebuilding emotional connection. I am a therapist who always looks to challenge my clients, as I believe this is the path to growth and change. In my experience, the most transformative experiences happen when we step out of our comfort zone. My goal is to push my clients to find the results that they are seeking, while providing them the support they need. I enjoy working with people from diverse cultures, religious backgrounds, sexual identities and orientations. I take pride in people knowing that my practice is a welcoming space for all.
