Welcome.

I’m Alissa Swank, a psychotherapist and licensed mental health counselor based out of Bellingham, WA. I provide telehealth counseling services for individuals across WA.

I hold space for you to heal and grow as we grapple with whatever is keeping you from living your best life. Using an approach that incorporates psychodynamic therapy, unconditional positive regard, and the neuroscience of attachment, we can work through the stress and mess of life together. 

I aim to help you gain a more cohesive sense of self. My approach is empathetic and gentle, and I seek to empower you to live authentically. I commit to showing up to sessions with curiosity, support, and guidance, and believe that progress happens when you choose to show up too. Together we will explore themes, patterns, and stuck points to help you navigate whatever you are struggling with.

Maybe you’re at the beginning, or maybe you’ve been on this journey for a long time.

Wherever you find yourself, I’ll meet you there.
