About Us

Northwest Counsel was founded in 2016 with a simple belief at its core: Change comes through relationship. We are a diverse team of counselors who value authenticity, connection, and the power of being truly seen. Our practice is built on the idea that healing grows in spaces where people feel safe, supported, and understood, whether that’s in individual therapy, relationship work, or family counseling.

Community, learning, and play are woven into everything we do. We approach our work with both professionalism and heart, holding space for deep emotional work while also honoring the importance of humor, curiosity, and humanity in the therapeutic process. Every member of our team, from clinicians to Administrative staff, is committed to helping clients experience meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

Today, Northwest Counsel proudly serves clients across Puyallup, Tacoma, Federal Way, and beyond through in-person and virtual therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or personal growth, our mission remains the same: to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care as you build the life you want to live.
