Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health.

Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.

Hello, my name is Ebony, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in Minnesota and Washington. I work with adults—especially women and parents—who are navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, and major life transitions.

Many of the clients I support are carrying a lot: work demands, caregiving responsibilities, relationship strain, and the emotional weight of managing life’s many responsibilities. I offer a person-centered approach that is grounded in empathy, respect, cultural sensitivity, and compassion.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore challenges, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward meaningful growth and balance.

I maintain a small, part-time caseload and offer flexible options, including biweekly or monthly sessions. I accept insurance through Headway and also offer private-pay sessions for clients impacted by recent insurance changes. I am here to support you in taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable and fulfilling life.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe mental health is an essential part of living a grounded and meaningful life. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and high personal standards that often lead to negative self-talk. Through Essential Being Therapy, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build self-compassion, and reconnect with their essential being.

Reaching out for mental health care can be hard, especially if you have felt dismissed, rushed, or misunderstood in the past. I want you to know that I take a different approach. I believe people do best when they feel heard, respected, and involved in their care.

I work with adolescents age 13 and up, as well as adults, and I enjoy helping people make sense of what they are going through in a way that feels supportive and practical. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, stress, or just feeling unlike yourself, my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly and feel comfortable being honest about what is really going on.

I see mental health care as a partnership. You are the expert on your experience, and I bring clinical knowledge to help guide the process. Together, we work toward a plan that feels realistic, thoughtful, and aligned with your goals.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) serving teens ages 13+ and adults across Washington through telehealth. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and substance use concerns, and I aim to create a space that feels supportive, down to earth, and focused on progress. My approach is practical and collaborative, using CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients build stability, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful changes one step at a time.

As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.

If you’ve found your way here, you’ve taken a brave step toward healing—and you’ve found a safe space to grow, reflect, and learn to love your life again.

My name is Charice, and I’m a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. It brings me deep joy to work with individuals who are searching for someone to walk alongside them—to empower, validate, and amplify their voice. I believe therapy is a marathon, not a sprint. Healing isn’t instantaneous—it’s a process, a shared commitment between you and me to explore what works best for you.

I earned my Master of Science in Counseling from Eastern Washington University (Go Eags!) and have had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings, including college counseling centers and community mental health organizations. These experiences have given me a wide lens on the many ways people experience pain—and more importantly, the incredible capacity we each have to heal.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully seen and supported.
