Woodinville, Washington therapist: Gary Ashley, therapist
MI

Gary Ashley

Therapist, LMHCA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
You may know something needs to change but not be sure where to begin. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and look at familiar challenges from a different angle. I work with teens, adults, and couples around anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, practical, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping you better understand what is happening and identify what may actually be useful in your everyday life.

Vancouver, Washington therapist: Claire Yamashita, pre-licensed professional
MI

Claire Yamashita

Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW, LICSWA
I believe knowledge is power, and the better we understand ourselves and our minds, the more equipped we are to handle symptoms and stressors as they occur. Having lived experience with both ADHD and anxiety, I am able to relate to clients in a way others may not. I understand the complexities and nuances of the way the neurodivergent or anxious mind works and offer concrete skills and tools, as well as a place to process what neurodivergence means to you.

Woodinville, Washington therapist: Sonia Hassan, counselor/therapist
MI

Sonia Hassan

Counselor/Therapist, LSWAIC
When anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges begin affecting your everyday life, it can be difficult to know what needs to change or where to begin. Perhaps you're struggling with emotions that feel difficult to manage, navigating a major life transition, or noticing patterns in your relationships that leave you feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. I work with teens, adults, elder adults, and couples who want to better understand what they're experiencing and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. My approach combines practical coping strategies with deeper emotional exploration, drawing from ACT, CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Together, we can explore the patterns influencing your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, strengthen communication and emotional regulation, and work toward changes that reflect your needs, values, and goals.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC, psychologist
MI

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC

Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
I work especially well with thoughtful, capable people who may understand themselves intellectually yet continue to feel caught in patterns they cannot resolve through insight or effort alone. Many of my patients are accustomed to functioning well, carrying responsibility, and caring for others while privately struggling with anxiety, depletion, shame, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves. What distinguishes my practice is the depth and individuality of the work. I do not reduce people to diagnoses or apply the same treatment formula to everyone. I seek to understand how your history, relationships, identities, strengths, and protective strategies have shaped your inner world. I am attentive not only to what you tell me, but also to what may be difficult to articulate, what repeatedly gets enacted in relationships, and what unfolds between us in therapy. My style is thoughtful, engaged, and collaborative. I respect complexity and do not impose artificial urgency, but I am not passive. I will help us notice when fear, avoidance, or familiar patterns begin to limit what feels possible. My goal is to offer a relationship in which you can become more fully known, develop a different relationship with your internal experience, and gain greater freedom to choose how you want to live.
