Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Every relationship hits seasons that feel harder than expected. The distance that grows quietly over time. The same argument that never quite resolves. The sense that you're living parallel lives instead of a shared one.
Struggling in a relationship doesn't mean it's broken. It often means something needs attention that hasn't had space to be heard yet.
TWC's own Yvonne Roberto works with couples and individuals navigating relationship challenges — communication patterns, trust, intimacy, conflict, and the kind of disconnection that builds slowly and hurts deeply. Yvonne brings warmth, clinical skill, and a genuine belief that relationships can heal when both people are willing to do the work.
If your relationship feels stuck, strained, or like it's lost something you want back — this is a place to start.
If this resonates, we'd love to support you.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Relationship therapy gets a lot more interesting, and a lot more useful, when the therapist isn't quietly assuming your relationship should look a certain way. I work with couples, polycules, and relationships of all configurations: monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous, relationship-anarchist, kinky, queer, and everything in between. I'm non-monogamous and kink-informed myself, so your structure is safe here. We'll actually get to the work: communication patterns, repair after rupture, intimacy, trust, the ways your individual histories show up between you. I draw from the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, and I bring an affirming, complexity-honoring lens to every relationship I work with. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Relationship difficulties often involve more than communication alone. You may repeatedly choose unavailable partners, withdraw when someone gets close, become anxious when a relationship feels uncertain, avoid conflict, struggle to express your needs, or feel lonely even while partnered.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how childhood relationships, past rejection, family dynamics, and early beliefs about love and security continue to influence the way you connect with others. Understanding these patterns can help you recognize why certain relationships feel familiar, even when they are unhealthy or unfulfilling.
I also use CBT to help you examine assumptions about rejection, abandonment, trust, and self-worth. We may identify distorted thoughts, consider alternative interpretations, and work on responding to relationship stress with greater clarity rather than reacting from fear or past pain.
Therapy with me is honest and collaborative. I will validate your experience, but I may also gently challenge patterns that are contributing to conflict or disconnection. When appropriate, I may suggest behavioral missions, such as expressing a need directly, setting a boundary, initiating a difficult conversation, tolerating uncertainty, or allowing yourself to be more emotionally open.
My goal is to help you develop healthier relationship patterns, communicate more confidently, and become more comfortable with closeness, vulnerability, and conflict. Whether you are dating, partnered, recovering from a breakup, or trying to build more meaningful friendships, we can work toward relationships that feel more secure, mutual, and fulfilling.
