Non-Binary Therapists in Spokane, WA

With a background in both military service and law enforcement, I understand firsthand the pressures and complexities that can come with these roles. I work with individuals from these communities in a way that honors their experiences while supporting growth, healing, and resilience. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I strive to create a space where all clients feel seen, respected, and affirmed. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to explore who they are openly and without judgment.

We know that feeling understood matters just as much as clinical skill. We take care in matching clients with therapists who not only have strong training, but who also bring lived experience that helps them truly “get” what you’re going through. Our therapists work in a way that is both clinical and deeply human—offering evidence-based support while honoring identity, context, and real-life experience. We focus on creating a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and supported, so therapy feels meaningful, not mechanical.

I believe that counseling should support building the life you want to live. In the lead up to action we may need to account for the systems we operate in, our authentic values and goals, and our established coping strategies. As you get a fuller picture of your experience, you'll be able to move forward with more confidence and joy.

I offer a thoughtful, collaborative therapy space grounded in both compassion and clinical insight. Clients who work with me often seek deeper understanding, meaningful change, and adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others. Together, we explore patterns, build emotional awareness, and support lasting growth so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

You deserve therapy that already gets you, not therapy where you spend half the hour explaining yourself. I'm Sarah, a queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, kink-informed LICSW with 14 years of experience, and I created Courageous You for people whose full selves have sometimes felt like too much for the therapy room. My specialties are Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Somatic EMDR therapy - deeply supported, body-informed approaches that can help when trauma, depression, burnout, or long-held patterns just haven't shifted through talk therapy alone. I share these communities and identities myself, so you truly won't have to translate your life for me.

Spokane is eastern Washington's largest city and serves as the commercial and healthcare hub for a vast inland region — the Inland Northwest — creating a therapy community that draws clients from across a wide geographic area and addresses the particular stressors of rural and small-town communities alongside its own urban population. The city has a significant veteran and active-duty military population connected to Fairchild Air Force Base, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and service-to-civilian transition serve an important role. Providence Health and MultiCare Health System provide major institutional mental health resources alongside Washington State University's Spokane health sciences campus, which feeds clinical training into the local community. Spokane's economic challenges — including persistent poverty in some neighborhoods — mean therapists here frequently work with economic stress, substance use, and the compounding effects of long-term financial precarity.
