our team at West wing - Olympia

 Hi there, I'm Anne! A licensed clinical social worker in Washington with over six years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.  My passion lies in using mindfulness-based therapy to empower clients to build coping skills and resilience.

Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all individuals is essential to me. I'm particularly dedicated to serving diverse communities, including people from historically marginalized groups and members of military families.

Whether you're struggling with stress, relationship problems, or the impact of a recent life change, I'm here to offer support and guidance. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, empathy, and understanding. In our sessions, we'll work together to create a safe space where you can explore your concerns, build resilience, and find healthy coping mechanisms.

Works with ages: 25+

 My name is Teri and my approach to therapy is evidence based, person centered, and trauma informed. A lifelong resident of Washington, I am currently addicted to caffeine. Of course, I blame the weather for this! I cohabitate with other humans; however, an assortment of dogs, horses, cats, and chickens currently outnumber us. I head for the ocean when I get the chance.

I embrace recovery from trauma, depression, and co dependence. I have worked treating addictions for twenty years and have been treating folks recovering from trauma, depression, and anxiety for the past six years.

I have a family systems approach and I enjoy working with kids, adults, and families. I come to Northwest Therapy Group to begin working with couples, and I look forward to this opportunity. 

Works with ages: 4+ and couples

I have lived in the Olympia area most of my life. I have built a life here with my husband and our two children. I love to garden and be outside, but I also enjoy video & board games or a good fantasy book. 

I work with adolescents and adults moving through life's transitions and challenges. Each person's journey is different, so I aim to use techniques that fit each individual's needs. I use an integrative approach stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I use techniques such as play, expressive art, and talk therapy. 

I focus on creating a safe space for people to explore difficult emotions and use a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. 

Hey, I’m Tim. I have recently moved to Washington in 2024 after spending a year in the West of Ireland. I find meaning and fulfillment in pursuing therapeutic connections for the purpose of providing a space where all my clients can feel seen, heard, and valued. I developed my passion for helping individuals from my personal experiences working with adolescents in inner city Chicago, volunteering with medical and music teams for both earthquake victims in Haiti and Burmese Refugees in Thailand, as well as mentoring in a Neurodivergent program in Denver. I am passionate about connection and processing how relationships and events impact areas of identity, emotional regulation, familial attachment, human induced trauma, and life transitions. I am client centered and strive to provide safety, acceptance, and empowerment for all my clients from unique backgrounds and experiences. I incorporate CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic therapy.

I love to work with adolescents 10+, college students, adults with childhood trauma, and couples with children still at home.
