Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Kennewick, WA

Hello,

Welcome to recovery and to getting back into the flow. Healing and growth are possible.

I have many years of experience as a counselor.

Are you ready for something different?

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.

Healing starts with being understood. I’m Yuliana Gonzalez, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician specializing in trauma, proudly providing care in both English and Spanish.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and have provided therapy to individuals and families since 2018. Currently, I work with women aged 18-60 who need support with ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, anxiety, struggling with change, or a growing sense of disconnection.

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.

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.

He also holds bachelor’s degrees from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the University of Miami, as well as an associate’s degree from Bergen Community College.

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process difficult life situations, decisions, transitions and mental health challenges. I offer supportive guidance, a listening ear and a focus on self care. I use eclectic techniques based on what makes the most sense for each individual client and bring over 20 years of experience to our sessions.

Welcome, I look forward to working with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State. I've been working in the field for over 20 years, and have found in the last 10, that for most people, the online option has worked just as well as in person. It provides convenience, accessibility, and a more comfortable setting for my clients to be more open and engaged.
