Top in-person Washington therapists who accept cash payments

My name is Shawna Sunday, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with individuals that have experienced trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems. I very much like a positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life, and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self-care. I like a person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge, we go at your speed, and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy. What you can expect from our first session My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. Rapport building initially, and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable.

Greetings. I am accepting new clients. Much of my clinical experience over the last decade has involved working with adults, teens, and their families impacted by addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, anxiety, mood disorders, and adverse childhood experiences. As a practitioner I aim to build a relationship with each of my clients that involves the foundational elements of trust and meeting individuals where they are at. I utilize therapeutic skills in sessions that are solution-focused and healing-centered. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with years of experience and hundreds of sessions conducted utilizing this therapeutic modality. Working with people who have a diverse number of identities and backgrounds, I value, honor, and celebrate differences. I look forward to cultivating a strong, working relationship with each of my clients. Let's get started!

I have 15 years of experience in counseling adults over a broad spectrum of needs to include anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, substance abuse, grief and loss and crisis work. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it is important to be fluid, transparent and apply/adapt therapy specific to the needs the person at that moment in time. Let's collaborate together on this journey to wellness.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a master’s degree from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology (2012-2015). I have been in private practice since 2015. I am passionate about helping others find their voice, improve their relationships, and step into hard areas of life that are often neglected in our fast-paced world. I provide a comfortable space to both laugh and cry in, to be present with difficult feelings, and to offer a support in finding new ways of engaging old problems that often plague us in our human journey. I currently meet with adults under age 30.

Change does not happen overnight. It is a process that happens by taking small steps towards a goal everyday. My goal is to help individual's & families to become stronger & have a healthier outlook on the future/present, so they can develop accepting & loving relationship with themselves & others without judgement. This is done by improving communication, learning & understanding an individual’s past, beliefs or culture can affect one’s behavior, views & emotions, building up self worth, being validated when family members address issues from the past or present. My experience is working with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents & other extended family members.

You've probably asked yourself a hundred times, why am I so anxious? Why can't I control my life? Maybe your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks like washing the dishes drain your energy. ADHD, anxiety, and creative burnout can be overwhelming, especially when they show up in every part of life, work, your relationships, kids and your parenting. You want that authentic confidence and to sustain changes in your life. You know you're ready to commit to doing the hard things. We'll use real data to track your progress. So we're not just talking, we're making measurable results. As someone who went undiagnosed with ADHD for years, that's why I help professionals, creatives, and parents of anxious kids untangle what's keeping them overwhelmed. Most people ages 6+ can use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to feel less anxious and more in control! At my in person office Nintendo Switch Games, tabletop games, and other video games are available to help you feel more comfortable in session. I am studying to be a Certified Geek Counselor. A Geek Counselor is a therapist who integrates geek culture such as video games, tabletop RPGs, sci-fi, fantasy, and fandom into therapy to make sessions more engaging and relatable. They use storytelling, gaming mechanics, and pop culture references to help clients explore emotions, build coping skills, and foster personal growth. This approach is especially effective for neurodivergent individuals, creatives, and those who find traditional therapy methods less engaging. You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's find a way forward together. It's time to start feeling like you're thriving in your life and embrace how your brain works. Schedule your free 20 minute consultation today.
