Gottman Method
Nicole Waters (Flowing Waters Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate and empowering—I work collaboratively with you to uncover patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be holding you back. Together, we’ll identify these cycles and develop tools to help you break free from them, build healthier ways of thinking, and create lasting change. My goal is to help you strengthen self-awareness, increase emotional resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Gottman Method
Humanistic Therapy NW
Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
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.

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
I'm Dr. Danielle Watkins, licensed psychotherapist and perinatal mental health specialist. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, tearful, alone, irritable, or unlike yourself while trying to conceive, during pregnancy or after baby arrives, you are not alone. I specialize in perinatal mental health and help individuals and couples navigate the emotional complexities of trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
I primarily work with clients experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum OCD, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients are high-functioning, capable people who feel surprised by how hard this season feels. Together, we create a space where you can speak openly without guilt or judgment and explore strategies to help you feel like yourself again.

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.

Gottman Method
Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

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 Virginia Mason Franciscan Health 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.
