Our Story, Your Future
Back in 2008, Lakewood Child and Family Counseling was born with teens and families at the heart of our mission. Over nearly two decades of service in Tacoma, Washington, we’ve grown and evolved. Today, our compassionate team of therapists primarily works with adults—because we’ve learned that adults deserve dedicated space and support too.
We’ve been doing this work for almost 20 years. We know what it takes to create real change. We know the courage it requires to reach out. And we know that your mental health matters deeply.
What We Create Together
When you work with us, we don’t just provide therapy—we create a deeply personal therapeutic experience full of warmth, genuine listening, real insights, meaningful healing, and genuine growth. This is about you, your life, your feelings, your relationships, and what matters most to you.
Your dedicated therapist offers you their full attention for a 50-minute session—time that belongs entirely to you. It’s focused, compassionate, caring time designed specifically for your growth, your insights, and your healing. Because you deserve that undivided attention.
Taking Care of Yourself Isn’t Selfish
Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for survival. And taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish. It’s brave. It’s wise. It’s necessary. Trust us, we’ve supported people through this for nearly 20 years, and we’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be.
If you need extended sessions beyond the standard 50 minutes, we can arrange that too—extended time is available for those paying privately.
How Online Therapy Works
If you’re wondering how online therapy actually works, we’re here to help with that too. You get the support you’ve been searching for from the comfort of your own home, your private office, or wherever feels safe to you. Use whatever device works best—we just recommend having a good wifi connection and headphones for the clearest experience.
Talking with a counselor online is your opportunity to be truly seen and heard. It’s your chance to find your footing again in life, or maybe for the first time. To explore what’s been weighing on you without judgment or shame.
What Therapy Can Do
Therapy can help you feel better. It can get you unstuck. It can help you gain clarity and insight into yourself and your patterns. And it can give you the real support you need to make tough choices with confidence.
We Serve Washington State
We provide online counseling services for men, women, teens, and families living anywhere in Washington State—from Seattle to Spokane, from Vancouver to Bellingham, from Olympia to Tacoma and everywhere in between. Our compassionate team of Licensed Mental Health Counselors specializes in different areas, and we have a therapist who will be a good fit for you.
Whether you’re seeking support with well-being and personal growth, mindfulness and calming practices, deep depression, severe anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or anything in between—we have someone ready to walk alongside you.
We also offer group mindfulness and support sessions, in addition to individual therapy.
What Therapy Is—and What It Isn’t
Therapy is a safe space for you to explore yourself and your life. It is not legal advice. It is not writing letters on your behalf. It is not reporting your information to your attorney or others in your life.
Your Confidentiality Matters
Your therapy process with your therapist is completely confidential. That confidentiality isn’t just a rule—it’s essential to creating the safe space where real healing happens. We follow strict confidentiality requirements as Licensed Mental Health Counselors, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We do not share information outside of your session with anyone else, even if you believe it might be for your benefit. Why? Because protecting your privacy and safety is what allows you to open up, be honest, and truly engage in your healing. That relationship and that safety are everything.
Let’s Begin
You don’t have to figure this out alone. You don’t have to carry what you’re carrying by yourself. Reaching out is the first brave step, and we’re here to meet you there with genuine care, acceptance, and support.
