Therapists in Tacoma, WA

There are times in our lives that sometimes we just need a listening ear. There are other times when life comes at you fast with experiences and challenges that can be difficult to face alone. I am 100% committed to helping you find that extra help you need. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate place for you to feel comfortable in sharing and expressing yourself.

As a therapist, it is my mission to help you live a joyful, vibrant life, even if you are facing life circumstances or mental health issues that are less than ideal. I specialize in helping individuals and couples, and have experience helping with compulsive sexual behavior, ADHD/ADD, depression, OCD, anxiety, and/or PTSD resulting from abusive situations. I also help couples who feel as though they no longer "connect" or who don't feel as close as they once felt. I believe you have the strength to reach your goals, and lead a joyful life.

You deserve a life of self-love, compassion, and healing. I specialize in working with people experiencing major life changes (new career, new family configuration, losing a loved one, romantic relationship ending or beginning, new migration to the US), depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and adjustment issues. I often serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, plus), refugee, and immigrant communities and young adults.

Welcome, I am Marie A Goines, LICSW, (she/her)! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Seattle, Washington. I provide individualized, culturally-appropriate trauma-focused services to adults and teens. I help clients to accept themselves while reframing and understanding their experiences, learning coping skills and discovering new ways of interacting with their worlds.

It's difficult to find a therapist, especially if you’re a multiply-marginalized individual who must cope with not just day to day stressors, but also the stressors of living within systems of oppression against multiple parts of your identity. If you’re in that situation, you may wish to find a therapist with an amount of lived experience, if only to lessen the burden of “explaining” how these systems affect you, and I’m passionate about helping people like you receive services that will more deeply understand the impacts of your environment on you, even if we do not have the exact same identities.

Hi! I love listening to people and hearing their stories! I am genuinely curious about people’s lives and enjoy helping people find their strengths. I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC people and allies for ADHD, Autism, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, confidence, self-exploration, toxic relationships, and talking about relationships. I am an ADHDer and domestic violence survivor. I also love running therapy groups! Groups give people the opportunity to meet new people and build connections. Studies show group counseling is equally as effective as individual counseling! Follow me on TikTok, IG, & YouTube at katemageau.therapist

E kaaro! Hello and I thank you for taking the time to visit this page. My name is Itzel Godoy and I very much hope to build a relaxed and positive therapeutic relationship with you. I have over 15 years in the therapy world working primarily with adolescent/young adults and neurodivergent population. I am a strong advocate for ADHD, single parents, work/life balance, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to teach clients to embrace who they are and foster positive self-image and confidence. It is my hope to help you achieve mental clarity and peace of mind!

I am a solution-focused therapist with 10 years' experience working with Individuals, Couples, Children/Teens & Families. My initial objective is to stabilize whatever situation has led you to seek support. Once in a position of secure functioning, we will identify, understand, and resolve the underlying issues & barriers inhibiting your goals & objectives. I treat clients at all levels; from intensive, in-depth analysis to building parenting, family or relationship skills. My expertise includes all manner of clients, including Service Members and their Families (TBI, PTSD), Individuals, and all Couples. I have experience supporting children with disabilities (ADHD, Autism).

More therapists should be transparent with their outcomes because you deserve to know exactly what quality of service you'll be receiving. I provide an in-depth look at my success rate on my site. I'm a psychologist that provides therapy, but I also specialize in testing for clinical diagnoses, adult ADHD, pre-surgery bariatric assessment, parental pre adoption evaluations, psychological hardship for immigration matters involving I-601 waivers, and asylum application evaluations for the I-589. I'm available on Saturdays and in the weekday evenings.

A responsible social practitioner, I provide psychological care, and services using American Sign Language (ASL). I work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, including various populations that encompass sign language users. My interests center on developing tailored, specific psychotherapy applications that benefit the patients with hearing losses. Much of my work places an emphasis on the importance of "courageous will" to empower individuals to make choices that are useful and practical.

My mission is to provide a wholistic approach, with a goal to create an environment of trust, where you will feel relaxed and safe. Promoting mindfulness as we embark on your wellness journey together.

About me: I specialize in anxiety management, ADHD resiliency, burnout, work-related issues, depression, and more. About you: You're a badass - yet you don't always believe it. The pressure to perform can be exhausting + the cycle of negative self talk often makes simple mistakes feel catastrophic. You're good at being there for others, but when it comes to yourself - it's hard to ask for help. Here's the thing: no one gets through this world alone. My mission is to meet you where you are in your healing journey, and to do my part in building the necessary rapport for us to do our best work, together.

As kids, we were told that if we did everything right, we would have a life to be proud of. As adults, many of us are wondering if it all was just a fairy tale. We got the job, but now life is just wash-rinse-repeat; we’re bored. A change in job could help, but what if I told you that we as adults sometimes forget to invest in ourselves, outside of our career…and thus, we forget who we were before we got the degree; before we got the job. We forget we were once multidimensional creatures with other amazing facets than our job title. I want to help you get back to that version of yourself. Let’s help you find the magic in life again.

We all need compassionate connection to grow and heal, and that is especially important in therapy. I provide a connection that is warm, yet intellectual, making sure to challenge your mind and heart for growth, support, and ultimately deeper relationships. I'm a good match for recovering perfectionists, women with ADHD/autism, anxiety concerns, depression, and those wanting support around chronic health conditions.

I deeply value the chance to speak candidly with others, to see and be seen. In a context of trust, where both parties are free of fear of the other’s reaction, genuine communication is a powerful and aligning force. I strive to maintain transparency in our work together to create a collaborative environment that enables the free exchange of thoughts and feelings. As we work together to meet your goals, you can expect my compassion, flexibility, and commitment. I am personally and professionally familiar with the value of geek and gaming culture and am competent to incorporate it into therapy when appropriate.

When we make time to listen to our bodies and emotions, we begin to reconnect with our inherent wisdom. We don't lose touch with this wisdom on our own. Trauma, unhealed wounds, and oppressive systems disconnect us from our wisdom and intuition, and impact our ability to feel at ease. You and your body carry so much, from the grief and resilience of those who came before you, to the stress of everyday life, and each story of pain, joy, and survival that has led you to seek care. It is normal to experience overwhelm, anxiety, disruption, and depression while carrying so much. You weren't meant to carry it all on your own.

Complicated relationships or past abuse can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and unsure of ourselves. Maybe you're fed up with feeling on-edge, stuck, or like your past is interfering with your life today. Maybe you feel guilty that you're not able to show up for your friends, family, or significant other the way you'd like. Maybe you don't even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But a few things are certain: you’re ready for things to change. You’re ready to heal. And most of all: you’re ready to enjoy your relationships and your life.

I am currently accepting new clients, however I am prioritizing limited availability to specific clients. While gender and gender identities are constant themes in the transgender community, I am currently prioritizing working with transgender clients who have been actively transitioning for a number of years, and are engaged and connected with the transgender community. I am looking to work with first generation American transgender clients, indigenous and/or transgender people of color, and transgender teens.
