Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable so you can deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this can be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn with me as your guide. I'd love to hear from you- reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here so we can talk about next steps for working together.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
After facing the heart-wrenching challenges of having two of my three children struggle with Substance Use Disorder, my world was further shaken when my son, Joel, lost his decades-long battle with the disease in 2017. In the wake of this profound loss, I was determined to better understand the family experience of addiction, and have since used this lived experience to support and guide others who are navigating the isolating and stigmatizing road of addiction and loss.
As a Compassionate Bereavement Care®️ Certified Provider and Kessler Certified Grief Educator, I work with individuals, families, and communities impacted by loss. I am a Peer Parent Coach with the Partnership to End Addiction, and co-facilitate their online grief support community, and is the host of Finding Hope After Loss, Grief Support groups for The Happier Life Project. As an advocate for recovery policies, I am a California State Organizer with the Recovery Advocacy Project, serve on the RCO/RCC Advisory Committee, and was named the 2022 Architect of Recovery by CCAPP (CA Consortium of Addiction Professionals.) My book, Secrets, Scars and Heart Shaped Jars, shares my family’s journey through addiction, loss and recovery.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
A little about me
I’m a therapist who gets how overwhelming this stage of life can feel. You’re juggling pressure, expectations, relationships, and figuring out who you are—all at the same time. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I’m not here to judge or “analyze” you.
My style is real, collaborative, and practical. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and give you tools you can actually use in everyday life—not just in a therapy session.
Why reach out
If you’re tired of overthinking everything, feeling stuck, or reacting in ways you wish you could change, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Reaching out is the first step toward feeling more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.
Even if you’re not sure where to start—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I love meeting clients exactly where they are at. I often work with folks who can be very self-critical, usually because they've learned to believe harmful messages about themselves. They might have heard that they aren't good enough because of their beliefs, their sexuality, their neurodivergent brains, or any number of reasons. I help my clients learn to change that narrative. To honestly and fearlessly look at themselves with compassion and acceptance. It's only from that place of compassionate acceptance that can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
We started Tacoma Wellness Collective because we believe therapy works best when it feels human.
Too often, mental health care can feel transactional — a symptom list, a diagnosis, a treatment plan. That's not what we do here. At TWC, we show up as real people who have done our own work, who understand that healing isn't linear, and who genuinely care about the people sitting across from us.
Our therapists are clinically trained and experienced — but what sets us apart is the culture we've built around care. We take the therapeutic relationship seriously. We believe that feeling safe with your therapist isn't a luxury — it's the foundation everything else is built on.
We work with adults navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: relationship stress, burnout, life transitions, grief, identity, and the patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard you try to outrun them. We don't promise quick fixes. We offer something steadier — a space where the real work can happen, at a pace that respects your nervous system.
TWC is rooted in Tacoma. This community matters to us. Whether you're sitting with us in person or connecting virtually from across Washington State, you'll feel that.
We accept insurance because access matters. And we're here when you're ready.
