Kaila Duke, MS, LMFT
Pronouns: She/Her
Populations: Kids 5-15, Couples, Family, Adults
Modalities: EFT, CBT, Play
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Parenting skills, Relational stress, Conflict management, Substance use recovery
As a clinician, I believe relationships are what bring meaning to our lives and shape us as people. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with the couple, family, or individual to recognize and deepen meaningful connections and relationships while increasing awareness of potentially harmful thoughts or behavior patterns in effort to gain insight into things within our control. This approach provides my clients a solid foundation to continue self-learning and progression.
The therapeutic process should be collaborative and led by the client. I work with clients to create a treatment plan tailored to their identified needs and circumstances to encourage self-discovery and growth.
I believe that treating the ‘whole person’ is important in my work with clients and as such, believe that faith and spirituality play a key role in fostering growth and development. Personal growth is grounded or informed in and by the person’s personal beliefs and values.
RACHEL JUNKER, LMHC, CERTIFIED THERAPEUTIC ART COACH
Pronouns: She/her
Populations: Kids, Teens, Young Adults
Modalities: Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness based approach, client centered
I believe that everyone starts somewhere and that the hardest step is often the first. As a clinician, I make it my mission to make that first step not so scary and show that therapy can have a life changing impact and can be fun if you are willing to do it. It is never too early or too late to get help, and I believe that each person has their own strengths. I center my approach on the client, finding ways to specially tailor each experience to each individual to find a path to achieving goals. I also love incorporating art into my therapy because it helps express who we are and help guide us in our life’s journey. It’s always a joy to work with my clients and see their progress develop through their creative path.

As a clinician, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and treatment is a collaborative process led by the client with guidance from the clinician. My primary goal is to provide support to individuals and families to help them find the best solutions for themselves to achieve their goals. In session I utilize strengths-based, values-driven and person-centered techniques to help clients find their own path to optimal health and wellbeing.
I have over five years experience working with children and families in intensive community mental health programs in Washington state, including WISe and the Children's Long-term Inpatient Program (CLIP). I am well-versed in treating individuals with severe psychiatric, mental and behavioral health conditions, as well as individuals who have experienced multiple traumas. I have had the pleasure of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. Justice, equity and inclusion are central to my work as a clinician and I aim to provide a safe and inclusive space for all clients. I have specialized training in the areas of attachment, trauma and the adoption/foster/kinship constellation. I am recognized by the National Training Institute as an adoption competent mental health professional.

I have experience working with high-profile professionals to adolescents, but specialize in work with children, young adults, college age adults, people making life changing transitions and professionals.

JESSICA PARRY, MS, LMHC, SUDP
I am a neuroqueer third wave behavioral therapist. As a neurodivergent and transgender individual, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, as I understand firsthand the experiences and challenges faced by individuals who are marginalized by neuro and cis/hetero normativity. I am deeply passionate about the intersectionality of neurodiversity and gender identity, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their authentic selves. I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported on their journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance.
In my therapy practice, I utilize a holistic and person-centered approach, drawing from the principles of third wave behavioral therapies such as mindfulness, acceptance, values-integration and the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to promote psychological flexibility and improve overall well-being. I believe in the power of collaboration and work closely with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. Whether it's navigating gender dysphoria, exploring identity, coping with anxiety or depression, or addressing the challenges of being neurodivergent, my aim is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling and authentic lives.
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy advocating for greater inclusivity and acceptance within both the neurodivergent and transgender communities. I believe that by sharing our stories and experiences, we can create a more compassionate and supportive society for all. I am honored to be a part of each individual's journey and feel privileged to walk alongside them as they embrace their true selves. Together, we can navigate the complexities of gender identity and neurodiversity, and empower individuals to live their lives authentically and with pride.

Managing grief, chronic illness, or the demands of caregiving can feel isolating and exhausting. With over 14 years as a social worker in healthcare, I have worked closely with individuals and families navigating the emotional and physical challenges of chronic illness, loss, and caregiving responsibilities.

My background in healthcare has given me deep insight into the complexities that come with managing chronic illness and grief, as well as the unique stress caregivers face. Prior to my life as a social worker I grew up in Latin America and speak Spanish. This experience has shaped my ability to connect with folks from various life paths.

I became a therapist because of my strong desire to understand and help others through their most challenging experiences. Through my education in clinical psychology, work in community mental health settings, and my own life experiences, I have developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power of therapy.
