Everett Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Karla Kurtz

I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, & adults while providing individual, family & couples counseling. I use various therapeutic approaches based on the unique needs of each client. I also have experience treating a variety of symptoms, diagnoses, & issues. I'm proud to provide a non-judgmental environment for many different types of people & lifestyles. I truly believe that it's incredibly important to love & accept yourself, regardless of where you are in your journey of self-improvement.

Cathy Harrington

I enjoy working with adults who have experienced trauma and want to understand how it impacts their daily experiences. I also love working with people who are discriminated against because of identities they hold, and I recognize that this discrimination impacts every area of life and creates unique challenges. I strive to provide anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming care for all my clients. Ultimately, I work with people who are having a hard time and need some therapeutic support.

Emily Hansen

Being human is hard, and at times confusing and isolating. Whatever you’re struggling with, you don’t have to do it alone. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. You and I will work together to tackle the roadblocks and obstacles you have been encountering. Anxiety, shame, body image, and trauma are just a few challenges that can hold us back—and are also things we can heal from together.

Emily Schumacher

These past two years alone have brought up a tremendous amount of grief, trauma, and heavy conversations for a lot of us. Choosing to engage in therapy is a wonderful decision that can help you navigate and heal from the many things that life throws your way. This can bring up challenges and even opportunities, but having a trustful ear is something I hope to be for you.

Brittany VelaBorja

You feel misunderstood and unheard. College/work stresses you out, family conflict makes you anxious, and sometimes things feel impossible. As a young adult, you feel a weight on your shoulders. You’ve got people telling you what to do and trying to run your life. You’re confused and overwhelmed. You’re at this awkward stage, where you’re technically an adult but maybe you don’t feel ready for all of the responsibilities of adulthood.

Caera Gramore

I came out queer in 1995 at age 17. I have been an active member of LGBTQ+ communities in several states and many local areas since then. My immediate family currently includes a transman, transwomen, and nonbinary people in addition to gay, lesbian, and bi/pansexual people. I am happy to support LGBTQ+ clients through various challenges, including: navigating family of origin, creating or expanding chosen family, building or rebuilding support systems, work-life balance, isolation, etc.

Rae Rome

LGBTQIA+ folks seek mental health therapy for similar reasons to non-LGBTQIA folks, but seeing a counselor steeped in LGBTQIA affirming care means that your therapist is more equipped to explore how the negative influences of homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, cissexism, etc. impact our lives and relationships. I am also equipped to celebrate the joy and abundance of your intersectional identity and to highlight those strengths as resources to draw upon as you’re navigating life.

Kaela Koepke

If you don't want to feel alone anymore and are ready to do the work of sorting through, making sense of, and transforming your pain and darkness into a more embodied, joyful life, I would love to support you. Healing and alchemy happens when there is a safe person to guide, witness, support, and celebrate the highs and lows of your healing journey. We all carry trauma in our body in different ways; no one is immune to pain and suffering. Healing is possible and you deserve that.

Alexandra Pales

I work with clients aged. 18-65, with varying concerns including depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar, marital and interpersonal concerns, marriage/relationship and parenting difficulties. I am body positive, and especially enjoy supporting and working with the kink, poly, and LGBTQI communities.

Patrick Moll-Nevins

Taylor Saunders

I strongly believe that there is no one “right” way to have a body or mind. Neurodiversity and body-diversity are the principles on which my work is founded. As a cis (she/her), white, bi, fat, able-bodied clinician it is important to me that my work with clients is anti-oppressive. There will be times in our sessions that you may challenge yourself, so it is extremely important that you feel safe, supported, and seen.

Rachel Bodman

Culture trains us to doubt the felt experience in our bodies, minds, and spirits. I want you to recover your sense of knowing. I want you to have an embodied sense of intuition and self-belief so that you can flourish. I believe anxiety, depression, trauma, and systems of oppression all interfere with your personal ability to thrive. I want you to be empowered with tools of liberation, so you can be free to listen to your inner wisdom.

Tanya Atkinson

LGBTQI clients 13 years and older living with mental health symptoms of: anxiety, autism, bi polar I and II, borderline personality, depression, gender and sexual identity struggles or discovery, and dissociative identity disorders. I provide skill based therapy (DBT, CBT, MI, meditation mindfulness, worksheets and handouts) and psychotherapy (talk based discovery). Art, meditation, singing, and other physical techniques are used to work with accessing a clients change skills.

Parmis Brazil

People seek therapy for various reasons and sometimes, for some, it may even be a scary and uncomfortable step to take at first. I create a safe and supportive space for you to start your journey. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients built on trust, respect, compassion, and transparency. Collaboratively, we will find the approach that best works for you with a strong emphasis on emotions and mindfulness.

Samuel Borroff

I explore with queer folx a number of different areas from issues around coming out, questions around sexual identity and expression, finding community, dating, gender expression and gender identity and internalized homophobia and internalized transphobia. I have a special interest in working with those living in rural environments and the unique experience this brings when being LGBTQIA

David Flack

I am a Sexual Minority Mental Health Specialist and have over 200 hours of post-graduate training in treating LGBTQ+ issues. In additional, I regularly present professional development trainings ofr other therapists on this topic.

Elisha Geers

Many of us feel stuck, paralyzed, or just underwhelmed, with no clear idea of why. This can show up in difficulty with sleep, pulling away from loved ones, demotivated at work, and feeling bad about ourselves. Often there are underlying beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that are worth attending to. Therapy is a unique experience that allows for increasing self-awareness and expanding our capacity for more meaningful life experiences, all in a safe space.

Lisa Farsje

I have special interest in serving the LGBTQ community, especially individuals who want to change relationship patterns. I enjoy counseling with newly divorced single parents trying to adjust to their family's needs while prioritizing their self-care. I also work with clients recovering from emotional or spiritual abuse related to their LGBTQ identity.

Valentinya Germer

I work with youth 13+ and adults across the lifespan. I provide LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming mental health therapy; provide support in navigating and exploring: relationship to self and others (sex and body positive, ethical non-monogamy and poly affirming), anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin, disability, chronic-illness, grief, life transitions and challenges. I'm passionate about bringing an intersectional, anti-oppressive approach to therapy.

Eric Huenefeld

My ideal client is someone who is ready to heal. You are not broken and can't be fixed. You are most likely wounded and need to heal. If you are tired of feeling the way you do and want to heal, I want to help you with that. I meet everyone where they are at to help them be the person they want to be. I specialize in addictions and trauma. I also work with people on anxiety, depression, co-dependency, and much more. :)
