Alysa Mickey, LICSW
Northwest Perspectives Counseling, PLLC
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Washington state that primarily provides services to teenagers (14yo-18yo) and young adults (19yo+). Although I do not have a lot of experience working with older adults, I am open and more than happy to work with anyone that believes we would be a good fit. I am LGBTQAI+ affirming and welcoming. I am passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental, and authentic environment for therapy. I believe I do my best work when I am being authentic to myself while also holding space for my clients to be their most authentic selves.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness practice to help guide sessions. I strive to create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges by emphasizing a relational, client-centred, and strengths-based approach. I am passionate and interested in working with clients dealing with anxiety, past trauma, relationship and communication challenges, as well as depression.
I understand that making the decision to start therapy can be intimidating. I am here to walk alongside you and meet you where you are at. I encourage clients to take a hands-on approach by leading sessions, with the expectation that I will support them in tying various topics together back to their treatment goals.
