Mercer Island Therapists specializing in Marriage Counseling

Kate Creech

I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, stress, and trauma. My clients might feel stuck in relationships or be struggling with creating healthy boundaries. Often they feel tension is sitting like a brick on their chests and imposter syndrome is a constant voice in their minds. Over time my clients gain more self-compassion and confidence as we work together on uncovering stories that have contributed to their anxiety.

Kristin Tucker

Life transitions, however deeply desired, can cause us to confront unexpected challenges. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and relationships of all varieties to have the lives, relationships, and families we most long for. While I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and families, I welcome the opportunity to work with anyone who may benefit from a feminist, trauma-informed, mindfulness-focused approach to individual therapy and couples counseling.

Jesse Cardin

Acknowledging that you might be in over your head isn't weak, it's wise. If you’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but your mind still attacks you or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK, maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting off toxic people or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But sometimes the wound goes deeper than that or the situation you're in is just too much.

I also work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, personal growth/identity, life transitions, trauma, codependency, boundary setting, emotional regulation, grief, and more. I also offer couples counseling to folks who want to address relationship concerns including communication, trust, emotional security, and life transitions/adjustments.

Shane and Michelle Elsdon

Whether the marriage counseling is to renew and awaken your love, repair a marriage that is weathering a storm, or help you through a new chapter of your relationship. We help you gain insight and rekindle bonds while teaching you healthy communication skills. Working as a husband and wife team gives you the benefits of both perspectives in a relationship. This eliminates the question of whether should we see a male or female counselor.

I have experience with people who identify as LGBTQ+, non-gender conforming, non-monogamous, polyamorous, kinky, and those who live with chronic disability or illness. I specialize in working with adolescents, and adults, as well as people going through life transitions.

Lisa Kothari

My clients explore many facets of their lives with me, including their feelings of anxiety and depression. I also walk alongside people who are navigating their racial identity. Others are in a space of transition in their career paths and personal relationships. Finally, I specialize in working with people grieving a loss in their life, whether through death or the many inevitable endings that occur throughout our lifetime.

Angela Tam

You were raised by perfectionistic, critical and well meaning Asian Immigrant parents, who praised your achievements and shamed you for your mistakes. You learn at an early age that getting achievements gives you a sense of security and validation, but it is short lived because the pressure is never ending. You earn top grades, get into a prestigious university and a high earning job, but find that it is extremely difficult to slow down and listen to your body.

James Nole

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, shattered, frightened, and alone. You may be disorientated, tired of feeling misunderstood by others, and out of control of your own life. You’re ready for a change, and to start a new chapter in your life. The possibility and hope for a better life is within your reach.

Mary Howland

I work with teens, adults, and couples and/or multi-partnered romantic partnerships. I specialize in family and relational issues, anxiety, depression, issues of self-harm, issues of self-esteem and bullying, and personal growth and development. I actively welcome and consider the unique identity make up of my clients, and through an anti-oppression framework to integrate their unique identities and experiences into our work together.

Phillip Coulson

As an existentially trained therapist I believe that most people can benefit from therapy - sometimes especially those who are “OK”, “making it to the weekend,” and yet have a deep sense that something is wrong. How to live wisely and with integrity is a question perhaps more urgent than ever amidst the constant change and uncertainty all around us. More specifically, my lived experience as a nonbinary person means that I "get" what that's like in a way that cis therapists may not.

Fox Kalvig

Over the last five years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, recent trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. I have practiced in a variety of settings and previous clients of mine have had a very wide range of ages, mental health symptoms, identities, life goals, trauma histories, cultural backgrounds, neurodiversities, and lived experiences.

Gemma Collins

I work with couples, family members, and individuals experiencing disconnection, anger, or distress in their intimate relationships. I work with couples who report a breakdown in communication, difficulty repairing broken trust or who are finding their footing again after the transition to parenthood. In my work with individuals, I see adults who are in transition or are hoping to gain greater insight about themselves.

Karen Lucas

You are stuck in relationship patterns that have you feel disappointment and/or overwhelmed? Are you the person that your life looks good on paper and yet the felt sense is not as enjoyable? You are rational AND a bit on the WooWoo side of things and want to integrate these parts of yourself? Do you have anxiety that keeps you frozen so you can not make a decision?

Amisha Gandhi

Everyone comes from different walks of life, so the tools I provide are not one size fits all. I believe in a collaborative approach and connecting with my clients to guide them through challenges that are occurring today or in the future. I work with women of color, adolescents (12+), and adults of all ages to address life's challenges. I specialize in systemically learning about you and the circles you interact with in your life.

Kerri Bicskei

I help athletes and overachievers who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism and overthinking. If you have a hard time letting go of mistakes, are stressed, anxious, and are often held back by fear of failure or not feeling good enough, then you're in the right spot. I also see a lot of clients who struggle w/ body image and their relationship to food. Struggling with anxiety can be overwhelming, exhausting and make life so much harder than it needs to be. I'm here to help.
