¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.
I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.
My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.
As a late diagnosed ADHD woman, I understand the struggles of perfectionism, anxiety and disordered eating and strive to provide neuro-affirming care. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I am confident we can get you there.
I'm a therapist working in the Tacoma area. I work with people who have anxiety, depression, and trauma. A few areas of focus for me are relationships, shame, anger, life changes, and identity, though this is by no means a comprehensive list.

Dr. Christencia Obinna-Igbokwe
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 9.7 mi away • Tacoma, WA
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing for over 25 years. After getting my Masters in Social Work in 2000, I spent many years working in medical social work, helping people who were living with chronic health conditions. I also have worked in hospice and am able to provide support with grief and loss, as well as emotional support for family caregivers. I offer a safe space to process difficult emotions, as well as stress reduction through mindfulness.
I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive—not cold or clinical. I’m a licensed therapist who genuinely cares about the people I work with, and I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Whether you’re coming in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected in your relationship, or unsure where to start, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. I work with teens (13+) and adults, individuals and couples, and I value honesty, compassion, and real connection in the therapy space. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.
Welcome! and thank you for taking the time to do this step for yourself. As a psychiatric provider, I am committed to working with you and your family on your journey to healing and discovering your best self throughout this process. I am a board certified Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), currently licensed in Washington State and Massachusetts. I have been working in the healthcare industry for over two decades, treating adults age 18+ with chronic severe anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma, personality disorders, substance abuse disorders, and co-occurring disorders.
I'm Dr. Jason Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, starting as a counselor before advancing into psychiatry. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and weight-related mental health concerns, using a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, medications, nutrition, and hormone support. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel your best.
My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.
I am enthusiastic Washingtonian and happy to call Seattle home. I received my undergraduate degree in Medical Anthropology and Global Health from the University of Washington, and my Doctorate from the University of North Dakota. When partnering with me, expect a clinician who is focused on you, your culture, and how all of these factors impact your experience. I lead with curiosity, collecting and using data to inform our work together and guide my integration of evidenced based practice.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Gig Harbor, WA
Finding therapists in Gig Harbor starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match what you want to address. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or solution-focused therapy.
Gig Harbor is a smaller market, so local in-person availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
Therapy in Gig Harbor can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates, so you can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
