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.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
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.

Alexzia Wagner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSWAIC
I specialize in helping couples, mothers, and young adults who feel like something in their life or relationships isn’t working the way they want. You might find yourselves having the same arguments on repeat, feeling overwhelmed or unlike yourself in motherhood, or questioning what direction your life is actually heading.
As a relational therapist, I focus on the deeper patterns shaping how you experience yourself and others. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in cycles they can’t seem to shift.
Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s happening underneath the surface so you can feel less anxious, more steady, and more connected in your relationships.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Therapy with me is active and engaged. I’m not just sitting back, we’re working together in real time to understand your patterns and try new ways of responding.
Whether you’re adjusting to parenthood, navigating a transition, or wanting to reconnect in your relationship, this is a space to be honest about what’s not working and begin creating something different.

Online in Tacoma, WA Washington (Online Only)
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.
