ABOUT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate my philosophy and approach to therapy are simple. We come to therapy experiencing a wide range of issues and emotional states. Everyone’s story and experience have left them with insights and impacts that are worthy of taking up space. Therapy can be the space where that is held, solely for you. Together, through a collaborative approach to this work, we can meet your goals and get you where you want to be.

My journey into the world of therapy began as a client and allowed me to work through many internal and life challenges. Through that work, I was able to see and create sustainable and lasting change. I want to give my clients what was so freely given to me. My approach to therapy is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy, helping individuals, couples, and families. In addition, I draw on a wide range of models and resources to support my clients on their therapeutic journey. Therapy is hard work, but can also be a lot of fun. Together, we can explore your emotions with curiosity, identify and restructure parts, or reauthor a new story to tell. I put my clients first and want to create a space where you feel safe, connected, and meaningful. It is an honor to be let into your lives and to support you on your journeys.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a wide range of fields, building a unique skill set grounded in lived experience that led me to this field. In the first half of my career, I worked in addiction treatment. I gained skills in group management, addiction-related issues, family work, and reconciliation, all while helping clients manage day-to-day stressors and concerns. In addition, I have worked in youth/teen education and development. I worked first at the City of Shoreline teen center as a member of their staff. Then I worked as a school counselor for middle and high school students in Orange County. This work gave me insight into helping my clients navigate complex systems and how to empower them to make change. If you want to make a change, need help navigating an aspect of your life, or are hoping for new insights, therapy is waiting.

I look forward to holding space for you.

ABOUT

I come to this work with the understanding that healing begins when we feel safe enough to turn toward our emotions and relationships. It takes courage to be vulnerable and strength to stay curious. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and, also the first toward meaningful change. I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey of self-realization, self-actualization, and personal evolution.

My work is grounded in systemic theories such as Attachment, Polyvagal, and Bowen Family Systems, allowing me to see individuals, couples, and families within the broader context of their lived experiences. I specialize in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, and neurodivergence, including ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, and autism spectrum conditions, particularly the Pathological Demand Avoidance profile.

In individual and family therapy, I help clients connect with their inner strength, cultivate emotional resilience, and reclaim a sense of agency as they face life transitions, challenges, and losses. With couples, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust after infidelity, and deepen connection through discernment counseling, relational and marriage counseling, and parenting or co-parenting support.

As a bilingual (English and Chinese) and BIPOC therapist, I am committed to culturally responsive care for clients navigating immigration and acculturation stress, multicultural and intergenerational relationships, Third Culture Kid or Adult experiences, and BIPOC identity work. While our past shapes us, it does not define us. Together, we can make sense of your journey, uncover new paths, and move toward greater authenticity, balance, and fulfillment.

My clinical training encompasses the following treatment modalities:

Lifespan Integration Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method (Level I), Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Non-Violent Communication, and mindfulness and somatic

ABOUT

You may be feeling anxious, down, or extremely overwhelmed. Maybe you’re experiencing a transition like navigating a chronic illness, exploring your identity, or finding your way through a family or school change. All of these things and more can cause us to feel confused, distressed, and disconnected from ourselves, unsure how to move forward and live a life we can love. In therapy, my goals are to highlight your strengths as well as create space that allows you to slow down and reconnect with your embodied wisdom and various parts of yourself.

I see clients 13 and older who are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and depression, grief/loss, identity, life transitions, stress, and trauma. As a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, I have additional training in and love seeing couples, families, friendships, polycules, and other relationships for therapy. I have lived experience as a chronically ill and queer person and enjoy seeing clients who are also in these communities.

I specialize in using somatic therapy techniques to help clients not only address current problems but also build skills to address challenges that arise down the road. I may also incorporate ideas from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Bowenian Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy (existential therapy). We can use art, board games, books, and yoga and mindfulness techniques in therapy too if it is interesting to you. I often name systems of oppression such as ableism, homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia, and more in therapy to acknowledge harm they cause. I use a slightly different approach for every client in order to help you make the changes you want and need in your life.

Who I am as a therapist is also informed by who I am as a person. I identify as chronically ill/dynamically disabled, genderqueer, queer, white, and as a trauma survivor.

ABOUT

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience in teaching, counseling, and mentoring students and clients across educational and clinical settings. My background includes work in high schools, community colleges, and universities, where I have specialized in adolescent development, family systems, and educational effectiveness. At Envision Counseling, I provide individual and family therapy services rooted in a strength-based, culturally responsive, and client-centered approach.

My clinical interests include parenting support, adolescent transitions, college and career readiness, family dynamics, and multicultural mental health. I have extensive experience supporting clients through anxiety, identity development, relational stress, and life transitions. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space for clients of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals and communities navigating cultural intersections.

I view each client within the context of their developmental stage, family system, and broader environment. My therapeutic style integrates systemic thinking with educational and cognitive-behavioral strategies. I help clients explore personal challenges, strengthen family communication, and cultivate resilience. In therapy, I often draw upon tools such as life planning exercises, psychoeducational strategies, and structured reflection to support insight and progress.

Outside of my clinical practice, I continue to serve as university faculty and a mentor to emerging professionals in counseling and psychology. I have presented widely on mental health topics including parenting, stress management, and student development. I currently serve as a Psychology adjunct faculty member at Northwest University in Kirkland, where I teach courses at the under-graduate, Master’s and Doctorate Programs in developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, and community mental health. My teaching portfolio also includes instruction in psychotherapy systems, child and adolescent therapy, and cognition.

ABOUT

Change begins with the decision to turn toward our emotions and the people who matter to us, even when it feels vulnerable or uncertain. When we can make sense of what we feel and express it in a way that invites connection rather than disconnection, we create space for healing and deeper intimacy. Therapy is a dynamic, collaborative process where we explore your experiences, emotions, and interactional patterns to support meaningful change. I approach this work with compassion and curiosity, always looking for the strengths and resilience within the people I work with. I also strive to balance humor and playfulness with deep reverence for the space needed to process pain and grief, believing that healing happens not only through insight but also through felt experiences of safety, emotional connection, and responsiveness in relationships. My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, seen, and empowered—both individually and in your relationships.

My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a deeply relational and experiential model that helps individuals, couples, and families transform negative patterns and create stronger emotional bonds. Because growth happens in the present moment, I focus on what’s being felt and expressed in real time, helping clients experience and engage with their inner world in new ways that foster deeper attunement. To support this work, I also integrate elements of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Structural Family Therapy, drawing on each to help clients reauthor their stories, clarify values, and understand how relational patterns have been shaped by broader systems. These perspectives help expand awareness and create new possibilities for connection, making space for lasting transformation.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in youth and teen development, overseeing a teen center, facilitating leadership and music programs, and creating workshops on topics like healthy relationships and job readiness. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the power of connection, self-expression, and community in fostering growth and resilience—values that continue to shape my work with clients today.

ABOUT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist  (LF70007718) and currently pursuing licensure in Drama Therapy. I specialize in working with individuals and families from a trauma informed and systemic lens. With my background in expressive arts, I utilize play, spontaneity, and role-play to assist clients in navigating social experiences, strengthen relationships, and promote the concept of the authentic self.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked with incarcerated youth, using theater and storytelling to promote healing, social justice, and family reconciliation. I also worked in educational theater for children and families to promote community building. I truly strive to work from a multi-cultural lens and examine with my clients the systems of oppression that may be influencing them and the relationships in their lives.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through Harborview Abuse and Trauma Center, and often combine evidence-based techniques with creative thinking to meet each client in their lived experience. I worked in community mental health for three years and have experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds.  I am passionate about creating a unique relationship with each client or client system I work with and encourage communication and reflection about the therapeutic alliance.

ABOUT

The only person you will spend every single day of your life with is yourself. Meaning that you will be better off if you come to know, accept and eventually love that person.

As a therapist, my approach functions through the lens of learning to understand ourselves and our own unique needs. This often involves the process of undoing how unfairly we’ve learned to treat ourselves, releasing our reliance on maladaptive coping mechanisms and moving on from our previously needed survival strategies. These ways of existing can stem from how we’ve been treated by others in the past or perhaps from implicit messaging from cultural, religious or societal marginalization and expectations. The work we do in therapy enables us to create the life we’ve always desired and deserved.

I conceptualize my therapy process with the following metaphor: As the therapist, I am in the front passenger seat of a car with you, and you are behind the wheel. As a passenger, I offer you assistance with reading the map and providing directions, but it’s up to you, the driver, to choose the turns you’ll take, and ultimately, the destination.

I operate within a framework that includes: psychodynamic transactional analysis (TA), somatic experiencing, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT).

In my work in community mental health for the past two years, I have come to learn the importance of adaptability and meeting my clients where they are at. I have experience working with unresolved and complex trauma, acute post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment difficulties following post-traumatic stress (PTS), grief, LGBTQAI+ community, relational issues, the impacts of systemic racial oppression, chronic depression and suicidal ideation/self-harm, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A humanistic approach and client-centered care are at the core of my therapeutic relationship with all of my clients.

ABOUT

Inspiring new ways of looking at life, in order to reach true and full potential, is what I offer in my work. Being a registered drama therapist, as well as a mental health counselor, I utilize creativity to unlock rigid ways of thinking in an attempt to release binding patterns and discover new solutions. I offer alternative counseling that is always compassionate and individually designed.

I believe that the world is a beautifully complex, and yet sometimes concerning, place. Within our human connections we are able to lighten the load and free ourselves from the burdens we carry. My approach is strengths based and garnered to find hope and inspiration. In my work I also incorporate theoretical perspectives such as expressive arts therapy, narrative therapy, existential therapy and mindfulness.

I have found myself working successfully with a broad client age (toddler to elder) and with varied issues based on the true benefit found in the creative and solution-focused techniques utilized.

ABOUT

I think of therapy as a journey. On this journey, I am your guide but you determine the pace, how far you want to go and, most importantly, where you want to go. If your goals are crystal clear, my job is to keep you moving forward. If your goals are unclear, and you just know something must change, my job is to help you choose the path that calls to you. In all cases, I am responsible for keeping the journey safe and helping you identify and remove obstacles that stand in the way.

There are three core beliefs that guide my philosophy. First, within each of us lives our truest self, which is unchangeable by life’s challenges. It is the source of our creativity, calm, curiosity and courage. Second, the need for human connection is our most essential instinct and is tied to our need for safety and belonging. And finally, to survive in this world, we often unconsciously adopt patterns and behaviors to secure and maintain this connection. However, these patterns and behaviors, which make perfect sense in the context of our lived experience, can be inconsistent with our deepest sense of who we are, and we can lose touch with our authentic self.

On our journey together, my job is to create a safe, accepting space where we can explore your outer and inner world and identify which patterns and behaviors still serve you, and which don’t. Together we will find the space that will allow you to make intentional choices aligned with your truest self and not driven by habit. I believe the best answers to the questions we will face will come from your inner knowledge, including your values, dreams and deepest sense of who you are.

I am a clinical social worker and have worked with individuals, couples and families in inpatient and outpatient environments, and completed post-graduate family therapy training. My approach is informed primarily by the Internal Family Systems model and supplemented by Attachment Theory, Somatics, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Psychodynamic Theory and Neuroscience, among others.

Daniella Fernandez, MA, LMFT, LMHCA, SUDP

ABOUT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate, and a certified Substance Use Disorder Professional. I have experience working in outpatient, residential, and inpatient behavioral health programs providing a range of services, including substance use treatment, co-occurring disorder treatment, and crisis care for acute mental illness. After completing my education and training as a therapist, I began my pursuit of a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology. I am currently a doctoral candidate and close to completion of the program.

My counseling approach is based on my belief that we all strive for balance and fulfillment in our lives and crave strong connections with others. When we are faced with certain events such as stress, loss, trauma, or conflicts in our relationships, we may experience significant emotional distress as we struggle to cope. At times, we may respond in ways that are ineffective or even destructive as we attempt to find solutions or address our emotional pain. These responses are often shaped by past experiences and we can become “stuck” in these dysfunctional ways of responding. While our past can inform our future, it does not need to define it. We are the creator of our own story and I believe we are all capable and deserving of finding meaning and satisfaction in our lives.

My role is to support clients in their journey toward self-discovery, personal growth, and life fulfillment. By providing a safe space and collaborative therapeutic environment, I hope to empower clients to utilize their inner strengths to navigate challenging life events and strengthen personal relationships. My approach is individualized and is informed by attachment theory, family systems theory, and humanistic principles. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and provide therapy that is person-centered, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed. Techniques used may include psychoeducation, experiential exercises, and skill building.

Theresa Winther, MA, LMFT, SUDP, MAC

About

With 20+ years of experience in mental, emotional and behavioral health services, I specialize in counseling those with the desire to change their behavior for a more fulfilling life. As a Marriage & Family Therapist with my Masters in Addiction counseling I rely on the partnership within therapy to create a space for growth, goal achievement and peace within. This includes adolescents, couples & families, Breast Cancer survivors and clients working with schools and community systems. I have extensive experience providing therapeutic support to adolescents and adults whose behaviors are no longer benefitting them or those around them.

My approach is drawn from Solution Oriented therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Survivor and Life skills with trauma focused interventions. I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) candidate that believes we can move through trauma to a life with happiness, balance and authenticity.

In the cases of community teams, I view the experience of working with families/caregivers and the systems that touch them as opportunities to collaborate and partner on the best plan possible for the biggest outcomes.

My work is collaborative, holistic, and strength-based. My approach to therapy is client-focused with an emphasis on including the whole system when defining the problem that may bring you to therapy. My work is individually tailored to meet the needs of the client/s, which means that the methods/theories I include in our sessions will be based on what best serves your personality and needs.
