I specialize in working with women and parents navigating major life transitions. This includes those dealing with pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, and pregnancy loss. I also work with clients processing birth-related trauma or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and identity shifts.
I am a marriage and family therapist that works with couples / families to help them overcome their communication challenges. I specialize in helping couples and families navigate one of the most stressful and often unspoken challenges in relationships—financial strain. Money issues can create tension, conflict, and distance, but they don’t have to define your relationship. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s happening and develop practical, lasting solutions that fit your family. I am also extremely capable at helping with the additional relationship struggles of couples & families.
I also work extensively with couples in premarital therapy, helping you build a strong foundation before marriage. We’ll address communication, expectations, finances, and future planning so you feel confident moving forward together.
With over 17 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, I focus on helping you not just talk about problems—but actually make meaningful changes. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you better understand your patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and take clear, actionable steps toward improvement.
My approach is collaborative and practical. Every couple and family is different, and my goal is to help you find solutions that work for your unique situation—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in recurring conflict, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Change is possible, and we can work toward it together. My goal is to help you see measurable progress—not just talk about problems.
I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.
Hello! I specialize in helping people heal from codependency and narcissistic abuse. This may include exploring family of origin issues. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to wellness.
My name is Kylene, and I genuinely love what I do. I work with adolescents and adults, and have experience and training in treating a range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I want to make the most of our time together, so I use approaches like EMDR and CBT, which have been well-established as evidence-based treatments.
Hello I am Anna Salinas, a dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma
Finding a postpartum therapist in Tacoma starts with identifying the type of support that fits your situation. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment difficulties are among the most common concerns that bring new parents to therapy. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health — such as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical social worker (LICSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer specialized care during this time. Some providers also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals additional training in this area.
With hundreds of providers practicing across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific postpartum condition, or practices a particular therapy approach like CBT or interpersonal therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.
Therapy in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs for postpartum care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
