My name is Charlotte and I am currently living in the city of Lacey. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology emphasizing in Marriage and Family Therapy through Brandman University. Currently living in the city of Lacey for the past twelve years. I was brought up and married into a military family lifestyle, which led me to travel to my two favorite places: Italy and Germany.
I am a wife and mother of two wonderful children who like to keep me busy. We enjoy spending family time together: going on adventures, trying new foods, singing, painting, anything Disney or Anime, or finding new places to try.
As a therapist, I believe in the importance of fostering inclusivity within our community and am passionate about working with Individuals, Children/Families, Military personnel experiencing PTSD, and supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ community in either individual or family sessions.
The theoretical approaches I use are: CBT + for Anxiety, Trauma, Behavior Modification, Depression, and ADHD; Solution Focused Therapy; Family Systems; and Creative Expressive Therapy to help clients work through depression, anxiety, behaviors, self-esteem, identity, trauma, transitions in life, and relationship challenges. I look forward to working with you and tailoring treatment based on your needs.

Hi, my name is Hope (she/her) and I moved to Washington with my family after earning my M.A. in Counseling and Art Therapy from Southwestern College in 2021. I have been married for twenty years and we are the proud parents of a (now adult) transgender son. In my previous life, I was a public elementary school art teacher, where I developed many of the client and strength-based approaches I use in counselling today. Art making is one of many approaches that I use, and it is not required, however I do encourage the use of art materials in therapy to express what cannot be said in words, and as a way to work though intense emotions.
I have experience with and a passion for working with LGBTQ+ teens and adults, as well as those who struggle with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, PTSD, life transitions, displacement/exile due to political or natural causes, existential questioning, and bereavement. I believe in collaborative mental health care and that you are your own expert. I am here to listen and to offer creative and tangible skills to support
the unique and wonderful being you are, at exactly where you are. I am available for in-person and tele-health.

My name is Ryan Erickson (He/They). I am a proud alum of Evergreen State College and Saint Martin’s University, actually serving as a student counselor at Evergreen for a brief time. During my time here I have come to call Olympia and its surrounding cities my home. My approach to therapy is grounded in a learners mindset, I believe you are the expert of your own experiences and I believe with guidance you can learn to navigate your life in a healthy and sustainable way. I incorporate mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) in my practice and in my life. This approach aims to facilitate a better familiarity with our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors giving us more control in our lives. I frequently incorporate humor into my practice along with a friendly charismatic demeanor. I have experience working with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar disorders, and Complex Grief. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which aims to integrate and reduce distress around traumatic experiences. I am currently providing hybrid services, with remote and in-person availability.

My multicultural Worldview and lived experiences
inform my approach to therapy and the healing process.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate
in Washington State, and also
a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in
Washington State. I have a
master’s degree in laws from the University of
Washington, a Master’s in Psychology from Brandman
University, and a PhD in Counselor Education and
Supervision from Antioch University, Seattle.
My approach is integrative- drawn from person-
centered, systemic and strength- based approaches that are brief and outcome -focused. I
approach each individual’s challenge in the context of their life and relationships.
My expertise cover a diverse range of clinical issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss
& grief, family distress, and personal wellness.
I work with clients to establish goals and develop a plan to achieve them. The initial intake with
me will help determine what approach to use based on what you would like to achieve. Using
positive, future- focused, and strengths-based strategies help clients in identifying and building
the strengths to support increased self-worth, quality of life, motivation and commitment to
change.

I was born and raised in the majestic state of Alaska. Exploring the peaks and valleys of the Chugach
Mountains symbolizes an upbringing that I remain extremely grateful for. Born to a Vietnam veteran
father who never spoke of his experiences, I found myself intrigued by the mystique of military service.
In hindsight, I may have chosen a different vehicle from which to launch my journey of exploration other
than a US Army scout platoon. However, the opportunities the Army provided to see the world have
permanently shaped my perspective and sparked my love of travel, culture, and human connection. The
obstacles I encountered throughout my experience I view as necessary to my development and essential
to my worldview. I have spent the last three years as an intern-associate therapist in Lewis County
working with children, adults, and veterans. I have also worked with both victims of sexual abuse as well
as offenders engaged in court-mandated treatment. I always maintain a state of deep listening,
patience, and facilitative collaboration. Whether it be trauma recovery, grief and loss, or the nerves
surrounding a new job, my guarantee to clients is that I will meet you where you are with no assumptions.

My name is Kelly, and I live in Olympia with my husband and three kids, plus a lot of farm animals! I am pursuing my Master’s in Counseling at Life Pacific University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Lee University. I grew up in New England but have been living in Washington since 2006.
I believe in fostering a collaborative environment that helps others navigate challenges, discover their inner resilience, and achieve their personal goals. I believe passionately in a holistic approach to therapy and believe change happens most effectively when we honor and seek to integrate the whole self and all five domains of self (physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive). I bring my respect for your humanness, problem-solving capabilities, potential for growth, and need for hope.
I am halfway through my program and am excited to see clients! My approach to counseling is rooted in Person-Centered, Existential, and Strengths-focused therapies. Some modalities I am drawn to include Family Systems, the Gottman Method, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I appreciate an eclectic approach depending on your individual goals, but I will always come back to Person-Centered care.
I enjoy gardening, reading, walking, camping, painting, & cheering my kids on at their sports events! I consider myself an ambivert and get very energized when I'm with others, but I also cherish alone time to decompress.
