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. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’re busy. You’re thoughtful. You’re holding it together—but inside, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or just tired of managing so much on your own. Whether you’re working from home, on the go, or simply craving support that fits into your life, online therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, your goals, and your sense of ease.
I’m Dr. Megan Marks, a licensed psychologist and owner of The Momentum Practice. I specialize in working with high-achieving adults, neurodivergent folks (especially those with ADHD), and anyone navigating stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. In our virtual sessions, you’ll find a space that’s affirming, practical, and tailored to you—not just your problems.
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in real-world tools, cultural responsiveness, and a good dose of insight (and yes, sometimes humor). Whether you're unpacking old patterns, building new habits, or learning how to rest without guilt, you don’t have to do it alone.
Virtual therapy at The Momentum Practice is just as affirming, collaborative, and effective as in-person work. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, ADHD, or major life transitions, online therapy offers the flexibility to get support without sacrificing connection or privacy.
You deserve a space that helps you feel more like yourself—not just functioning, but fulfilled. Let’s build some momentum. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Veronica Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Online therapy has been shown to be an effective form of therapy. While in-person therapy is more ideal, issues such as scheduling, traffic, and other constraints prevent in-person sessions from being a viable option.
The first session may feel a bit awkward. However, my clients find that once they get started, the virtual sessions don't get in the way of their treatment. I offer sessions on a secure network with therapists in mind. I work to be sure my client's feel as comfortable as possible virtually by reminding them to create a comfortable space for themselves, maybe having a box of tissues, etc. Therapy can be done in a closet, while parked in a car, or sitting at a park as long as there aren't distractions. Virtual sessions are a way to get your needs met without the usual obstacles.

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.

Carrie Marchant LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have worked primarily with youth and their families for well over 20 years, helping them learn emotion control, effective communication skills, and conflict resolution, and how to deal with other problematic issues as a criminologist. Families oftentimes find themselves needing more help than ever when dealing with youth who are in their turbulent teenage years. My specialty has been with youth of all ages, but especially teens, and their families. My real goal as a therapist is to help bring peace and hope to families who have experienced trauma and feel hopeless.
My interest in becoming a therapist was peaked because I had a tremendously positive experience with teachers, counselors, and others in the people-helping industry who made a vast difference in my life as an adolescent. I also had an incredibly therapeutic experience that impacted who I am today. I understand it takes courage to open your wounds and share your trauma with a stranger. I am a therapist with whom you will feel safe and comfortable because I am empathetic, compassionate, warm, and nonjudgmental.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Since the pandemic shook our world and the experience of how we connect with others, I have been practicing remotely. I have found that teletherapy has been as effective as meeting in person in terms of relationship building, creating a safe space, and communicating openly, honestly, and directly. For many clients with busy lives, online therapy reduces the obstacles of travel, traffic, and parking, and provides a simple way of managing billing/payment.
