Hi, I’m Asajnae Mercadel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. My background in nursing has given me a strong foundation in understanding both the physical and emotional aspects of patient care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep-related concerns. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open and honest. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey.
I provide compassionate, confidential psychiatric care designed to help you feel supported and understood. Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.
You may be here because something in your life feels heavy, overwhelming, or out of balance. You deserve a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. My holistic approach looks at the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—so we can understand what’s happening beneath the surface and help you move forward with more clarity and ease. In our work together, I’ll give you practical tools to navigate stress, anxiety, grief, or major life transitions. We’ll focus on reframing self-defeating thoughts, building self-esteem, and practicing mindful compassion so you can feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life.
With over 30 years as a Transformational Therapist, I draw from Breathwork, Guided Imagery, Stress-Release techniques, Centering practices, Energy Work, Therapeutic Movement, and Pattern Interrupts. For those open to it, I also offer Medicine Wheel work and Sacred Card readings for deeper insight.
Clients often say they feel comforted by my warm, intuitive style—maybe helped by the calm, steady presence I’ve learned from my beloved cats. If you’re ready for gentle, supportive, whole-person healing, I’d love to work with you. You can book time with my directly through my profile on Headway or give me a call.
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.
I am an RN with over 18 years of experience in nursing, specializing in mental health care. I am also a PMHNP-BC, and I obtained my first degree from Grand Canyon University and my Masters from Walden University. I manage clients across the lifespan and use a holistic and patient-centered approach.
I am a Clinical Psychologist who is licensed in Washington State, Arizona, and Florida. For the past ten years, I have been working with adult clients who are seeking a meaningful psychotherapy experience to achieve positive therapeutic outcomes as well as those who would like to reduce stress and difficulties to enjoy a higher quality of life. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients with various disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Autistic syndrome, schizophrenia, and pain disorders at various settings including inpatient, outpatient and group settings, private practice, and government organizations.
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.
As a partner in your healing, I’m here to guide you through the vulnerable work of remembering, reflecting, releasing, and reclaiming. Using compassionate listening, loving honesty, and intentional processing of the challenges and changes affecting your mental health, my hope for you is to recognize that peace is possible. Central to this journey is acknowledging and understanding how your identities such as race, gender, and sexuality shape your experiences and worldview. In honoring that, creating a partnership where all parts of your identity are seen, safe, and valued is crucial to my practice. I believe it’s important to create a space grounded in grace that allows you to be kind and gentle with yourself. As we “walk” together and unpack the root causes of complex issues in your life, I will be with you as we identify new ways of being/doing, coping strategies, systems of support, and tangible self-care practices. If you’re ready to take the first step, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey of growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Olympia, WA
Searching for therapists in Olympia starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Olympia for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to focus on. Some bios may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, which can help you decide who may be a strong fit.
Olympia is a smaller city, so local office availability may vary across Downtown, Capitol Hill, Eastside, and nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Washington. Consider practical details like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their work with concerns like counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or couples therapy in Olympia, WA.
Therapy in Olympia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan, with cost estimates shown upfront after you enter your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
