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.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
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.

Daniel Hong
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
At times, life can feel heavy, uncertain, or disconnected from the sense of direction we long for. In those moments, it can be difficult to believe that change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate that experience alone. I support individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, existential questions, cultural stressors, neurodivergence, and other emotional difficulties. I view therapy as a collaborative space where new understanding can emerge, inner resources can be rediscovered, and hope can slowly take shape again. Within a compassionate and attuned relationship, growth can unfold in ways that honor who you are and the pace that feels right for you.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a vulnerable step, yet it is also a meaningful investment in yourself. You don’t need perfect words or certainty to begin — simply showing up is enough. When you feel ready, I would welcome the opportunity to work alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, connection, and a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
