Couples therapists in Kirkland, WA

Hello! My name is Julia. I have an MA in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University. My experience spans seven years of working with individuals, couples and families. I tend to work from person-centered, strengths-based and creative modalities.

In my other life I am an actress and you might occasionally spy me on TV or in the movies as a mom, zombie killer, police detective or med tech.

Hi, I'm Selena! I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience across settings like oncology, acute care, rehabilitation, and family medicine, in addition to psychiatry. That background shapes how I practice today — I like to look at the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. My focus is helping people with ADHD, anxiety, and depression find care that actually fits their life. Taking this step isn't easy, and I'm glad you're here.

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to connect to others through compassion, meaningful conversations and authenticity. I started my own mental health journey when I was affected by crippling anxiety in my twenties. I felt alone and ashamed and really just needed someone to listen compassionately. I now want to offer this to others.

I received my BA in Social Sciences from Washington State University and went on to finish my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at Touro University. I have three years of clinical experience and have worked with individuals, couples, and families. My main focus is: self-esteem, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, life transitions, relationship issues, and communication.

I am a good match for clients who want to:

• improve self-esteem
• reduce anxiety and/ or depression
• improve how they communicate with others
• learn how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how they can utilize new skills to make changes in their lives
• accept themselves for who they are now, while committing to growth
• be as kind to themselves as they are to others
• understand and utilize neurodivergence to reach their full potential

I am not a good match for those who require very specialized care, including clients who are experiencing active:

• delusions, hallucinations, or paranoia
• suicidal ideation or self-harm
• addiction
• disordered eating
• personality disorder, i.e., borderline, narcissistic, etc.
• domestic violence
• obsessive-compulsive disorder

I am also not a good match for those who are seeking therapy with the primary or secondary goal of obtaining a letter or testimony from a therapist for legal, employment reasons, etc.

Hi! My name is Emilia Magana; Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have been providing evidence-based therapy for over 13 years in the State of Washington. I specialize in Behavior Modification and managing Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Addiction, and Neurodivergent impact.

I believe healing happens best when compassion and laughter meet. In our work together, you'll find a space grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and genuine human connection-free of judgment, filled with support, and occasionally lightened by humor. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, deepen your relationships, and reconnect with what brings meaning to your life.
