Humanistic Therapy NW
Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
Each individual enters therapy with a constellation of unique life experiences that shapes that individual. Experiences, biology, modes of thinking, and environment create who we currently are. I hope to aid you in exploring your past, current, and future selves in order to help alleviate unwanted present-day thoughts, emotions, feelings, and experiences.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Queer and 2SLGBTQIA identities are constantly under attack in society but I know that our experiences extend far beyond those labels. WHile sexuality and gender may not be central to our work, the cultural and systemic intersections of those identities with our work will be honored and attended to.

Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I work with trans, non-binary, and all manifestations of gender identities. I have a special connection to helping others who are struggling with identity because I have had to go through so many of my own struggles around identity in my life. The struggle around identity can be so confusing, isolating, and hard to put into words. And yet there is nothing more beautiful then when we are able to eventually re-write our narrative and reclaim our truth.

Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people as cost is the most common limiting factor for seeking therapy. We are well aware that for many of us in the LGBTQ+ community, the deepest wounds aren't just from personal events, but from systemic oppression and identity-based marginalization. We understand the struggle that in some circumstances the mental health field pathologizes or dismisses these experiences rather than acknowledging them as valid responses to an unjust world.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Being LGBTQ+ in a world that hasn’t always affirmed you leaves a mark — even when things look fine on the outside. Whether you’re navigating coming out, processing family wounds, working through relationship challenges, or simply trying to feel at home in yourself, here you don’t have to explain or justify who you are.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You shouldn't have to spend your therapy sessions managing your therapist's learning curve about your identity. I built Courageous You specifically for LGBTQIA+ adults who want care that already understands their lives: the complexity of coming out (at any age, any number of times), identity-based trauma, minority stress, navigating family and community, gender exploration, and everything in between. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for queer clients carrying depression, trauma, or the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from decades of not fully belonging. And I offer Somatic EMDR therapy and affirming individual or relationship therapy when KAP isn't the right fit. You deserve a therapist who gets it. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.
14 Years Experience
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.
