Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide therapy for individuals and couples in midlife or retirement—helping you move through life’s changes with clarity, purpose, and hope. You’ve worked hard and cared for others, but lately something feels off. Life may be changing in ways you didn’t expect, and it’s harder to find your footing.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Engaging in trauma therapy requires a sense of safety, and for many, that safety is best found in their own home. As an LCPC with over 13 years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating attachment trauma and unprocessed trauma through secure telehealth sessions. I utilize an integrated approach, including EMDR, somatic techniques, and attachment theory, that easily translates to the virtual space, helping your nervous system find safety again. If you are ready to move beyond simply coping and start healing, we can do this collaborative work together from the comfort of your own environment.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
I'm an experienced therapist who is very passionate about working with women who are ready for something deeper than coping strategies — women who are willing to examine themselves honestly and are committed to meaningful, lasting change.
This work often focuses on life transitions, anxiety, identity evolution (self discovery and uncovering true self), enduring relationship patterns and trauma from invalidating relationships (complex or developmental trauma), and the deeper dynamics that shape fulfillment. Often, this manifests as persistent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, loneliness, or a subtle but steady feeling that something is missing- that life should feel more meaningful than it does.
I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative, and attuned space where you don’t have to hold it all together. In our work, we slow down to explore early relational templates, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that once served you but may now limit intimacy and growth.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer ketamine assisted therapy Integration as appropriate, which may be a useful adjunct to deep, transformational work.

I offer private-pay online services internationally as a psychoanalytic hypnotherapist and clinical sexologist, working within a reflective, depth-oriented process.

I work with real people that want to connect with their most authentic selves to create a a life worth living.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Asking for help is challenging enough, and I believe that the online format removes some of the other stressors normally associated with beginning therapy. One of the most important "ingredients" for success in therapy is feeling comfortable in the therapy setting. With online therapy, clients enjoy the convenience of meeting with me from wherever they feel most comfortable. Online therapy also eliminates the need for a commute to an office or sitting in a waiting area. With some of the stress eliminated, we can really get to work!

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve already done work and want to go deeper. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space to sort through what feels stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed care, but always tailored to what you need most.
I work with adults carrying the weight of childhood neglect or trauma, as well as those navigating stress in parenting, relationships, or work. Along the way, we focus on building clarity, connection, and trust so change feels possible—and lasting.
I also provide consultation and supervision for licensed therapists and offer parenting consultations. My practice is 100% telehealth, making therapy more flexible and accessible across Washington State and Psychpact states throughout the United States.

Ashley Pinto
Therapist, LCPC, CCTP
Hi! I’m Ashley Pinto, an integrative somatic psychotherapist specialized in working with trauma, anxiety/panic, women with ADHD, attachment and family of origin issues. I am a nervous system specialist, trained in Somatic Experiencing and Parts Work. I help adult women understand themselves better and shift the patterns that hinder them from living their desired lives. I enjoy delving into how our brains and nervous systems work, guiding people to recognize the ingenious ways they have been caring for themselves, along with the often-overlooked inner wisdom that deserves attention rather than criticism. If that excites you, fantastic! And if it feels intimidating, don’t worry; I excel at simplifying these concepts and making them engaging!
I no longer offer weekly insurance-based 53 minute sessions. After a decade of seeing clients under this model, I've shifted my practice to private pay customized services that better meet the needs of my niche clients. My customized Therapy Intensives are specially designed to offer you a more a more spacious, efficient, and streamlined for a deeper and more transformative experience. They are intended to be short-term and can serve as an adjunct to ongoing therapy with your already established therapist, such as in the case that you really enjoy the work you are doing with them but they do not specialize in an area that I do. I also offer monthly extended sessions (90 minutes to 2 hours) for those looking for a hybrid option, that allows for deeper work as well as ongoing support. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer online therapy for adults in many seasons of life, from young adults in their 20s to older adults in their 80s, who want to improve their relationship with themselves and with others. Through telehealth, I support clients navigating a wide range of issues and major life transitions—such as new marriages, becoming a parent or grandparent, adjusting to an empty nest, retirement, or moving into community living—so they feel less alone, more grounded, and better equipped to meet these changes with clarity and care.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer virtual therapy for individuals who find themselves over-accommodating, over-functioning, or struggling to set boundaries in relationships. If you’ve ever felt responsible for other people’s feelings, guilty saying “no,” or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained—this work is for you.
My practice is fully private pay (effective July 1, 2026), and I partner with Thrizer to support clients who would like to utilize out-of-network (OON) benefits.
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit and that virtual therapy meets your needs before getting started.
