Life can feel incredibly heavy when you’re navigating the layers of grief, trauma, or the complexities of disordered eating and body image. I believe you deserve a space where you feel truly seen and supported without judgment. Whether you are navigating a major loss or seeking a therapist who truly affirms your queer identity, I am here to walk alongside you. My goal is to create a supportive environment where we can identify the challenges you're facing and begin building a path toward healing and authenticity.

I’m Elizabeth Webber-Mikaele, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have spent my career supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical tools for change.

My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Multicultural Social Services from the University of Washington and a Master’s degree in Education with a School Counseling certification, along with National Board Certification in School Counseling. I am also a National Certified Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, which allows me to mentor and supervise counseling professionals across the country.

Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and clinical settings, helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for working with women, adolescents, and children, helping them build confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed approaches while tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, work-life balance, and women’s issues. While I offer a supportive and empathetic space, I also believe in gently challenging clients to promote growth. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply need a space to process, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to live.

I’m Cris, a licensed independent social worker with over 28 years of clinical experience offering a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. addressing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, trauma recovery, age-related memory changes/dementia/talk therapy, grief, and loss. Over the years I learned that healing isn’t about ‘fixing’ people—it’s about helping them reconnect with their own strength, face challenges with courage, and create meaningful change in their lives.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that life is made up of moments that are both big and small, and therapy is a safe place to process the thoughts and emotions that go with those moments.

Do you feel like anxiety has taken over the driver’s seat? Or find yourself struggling to set the boundaries you need in your relationships? Do you wonder how past traumatic experiences might be showing up in the present, or find yourself feeling frustrated that they still affect you? Perhaps you’re wanting to explore who you are, and how to feel more fulfilled in life or navigate change?

If any (or all) of those resonate with you, I’m here to help.

I’m a science-based psychotherapist with a passion for working with clients in these areas and more.

I offer therapy for real humans, from a real human trained in the techniques that really work.

I have a Master's in Counseling and have practiced in the field of mental health for nearly two decades. My experience as a therapist includes extensive training and work in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, women’s issues, and spirituality. I am licensed in both California (LPCC) and Washington (LMHC), and I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I also hold a certification in Grief (CGP). I emphasize a whole-person approach to care, considering the full spectrum of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors that impact your overall health and well-being.

It takes courage to reach out for support when needed, no matter the concern. As a licensed counselor, I enjoy helping people improve and strengthen their mental health. My approach is warm and direct and centered on the needs of the client.

Anxiety, depression, ADHD and complex trauma are all too familiar to me- I feel so much joy when I am given the privilege to help others with their own, no matter where they are at in their process.

As a person who was late-in-life diagnosed A(u)DHD, I learned a lot of "bootcamp" social skills and navigation tools over the years to survive a harsh world not designed for people like me. I really excel in providing a validating space to join me, side by side, as we all learn how to ride this wild life.

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.
