Therapist

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.

Kelly Phipps

Therapist

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University. My professional background has largely been in community behavioral health, where I've spent years working with individuals experiencing serious mental illness as well as people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life stress. I've worked across different parts of the behavioral health system - including clinical and leadership roles - which has given me a broad understanding of how mental health challenges show up in real life, not just in theory.

Because of that experience, I approach therapy from a holistic and systems-oriented perspective. Our mental health is shaped by far more than what's happening internally. Relationships, work stress, family dynamics, physical health, and the larger systems we interact with every day can all play a role in how we feel and function.

My style tends to be warm, collaborative, and often a little humorous. Therapy is important work, but it doesn't have to feel overly stiff or clinical. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest about what's going on while also gaining insight, perspective, and practical ways to move forward.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Bryan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals who find themselves at a point where life feels overwhelming or “too much.” Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing grief or loss, adjusting to change, or simply feeling weighed down by stress, you don’t have to face it alone. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported during this season of your life.

I view therapy as a true partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here as a steady co-pilot—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and supporting you as you move forward at your own pace. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and practical factors impacting your well-being and develop tools to help you regain balance and clarity.

Together, we’ll work toward strengthening resilience, building insight, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling more grounded and supported, I invite you to reach out and give me a call so we can begin this work together.

I am a transmasc, queer therapist. My ongoing, personal journey of exploration definitely informs my work as a psychotherapist.

I’ve been working as a mental health professional for over two decades,I have been helping people navigate systems and life changes throughout my career. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported in my practice – gay, lesbian, bi, queer, exploring, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kinky, ASE, intersex gender expansive, genderqueer, transgender, nonbinary, and those who are exploring – I want everyone to feel safe, seen and heard in my office.

The focus of my work over the past 25 years has been on fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum – especially those who are questioning or wanting to explore their queer and trans identities in a safe, inclusive space.

I provide individual therapy and work with older teens, young adults to elder audlts who are exploring their gender identities.
