I frequently draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness interventions and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I’m particularly interested in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, exploring gender and sexual identities, self-compassion, interpersonal and relationship conflicts, spiritual identity, substance use, personality disorders, sense of self, chronic illness, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach always focuses on trauma informed care, and creating a safe space that feels centered around you and your goals.

I strive to address this through a therapy framework that is sex positive, gender affirming, anti-white supremacy, body-neutral, and oriented towards social justice.

Misti Patrella
MA, Mental Health Counselor Associate | OR, WA
For the ten years before becoming a therapist, I worked as a certified life coach, supporting people in achieving their life and work goals, regardless of what they believed held them back.
Whether you are struggling with losing your way (existential crisis), dealing with relationship issues, experiencing loss, facing big life changes, or grappling with something that feels outside of your control, I can help. I also have experience in helping people process old hurts and traumas that feel difficult to overcome. Additionally, I can provide support in moving forward from divorce, overcoming people-pleasing habits, managing anxiety and stress, and finding solutions to feelings of being stuck and overwhelmed.
Are you wanting to commit to your partner and/or get married? I am certified in Prepare/Enrich, a customized, non-religious, committed partnership/marriage preparedness program designed to help you and your partner prepare for the commitment you are undertaking together. You will understand how each of you views important topics that support your long-term relationship and work through differences before they become problems.
In my view, therapy begins with establishing a strong relationship between the client and the therapist. Trust, compassion, and empathy form the foundation upon which everything else is built. It is my role to create a safe environment for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. I strive to cultivate an atmosphere of non-judgment, allowing you to discover the answers that work best for you. I am here to support you in gaining deep awareness, healing, and achieving the most positive outcomes.
Audrey Olzak
MA, Marriage and Family Therapist
Associate | OR, WA
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in OR and WA who received a master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark College’s Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I have two bachelor’s degrees, one in Psychology and the other Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from the University of California, Davis. My previous work has been in outreach to people affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and homelessness.
I practice from a body-neutral, sex-positive, gender-affirming, trauma-informed, and anti-racist standpoint, because I believe each and every person is entitled to a good and meaningful life, free of subjugation. I enjoy working with the many different ways people show up in relationships, including polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and monogamy; BDSM, kinky, and vanilla; LGBTQIA+ and straight; disabled, abled, you name it. I am especially passionate about the relationships people have to each other, but work with families, relationships, and individuals 16+ alike. I employ attachment-based and emotionally focused therapy, based in systems theory, interpersonal neurobiology, intersectionality, queer theory, and feminist theory. This means that I work with you in the context of your life, paying attention to how the systems you are embedded in (such as your body, your family, your community, your job, your identities) are affecting your mental well-being.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in compassion and empathy. In a world fractured by hardship and violent conflict, authenticity, kindness, and understanding are vital to maintaining connections to our friends, family, and loved ones. When suffering occurs in our lives, whether physical or mental, it is partially through these connections that we can heal.
Suffering comes in many forms, and the emotions that accompany it can be taken as messages from our bodies and minds that can lead us to the source. What I aim to do in our time together, is work with you to identify and interpret those emotional messages, and then to follow you to the source of suffering and process what we find there. My role in our work together is like a tour guide – I have a general map of the human experience and know multiple different pathways that lead to these different places. But ultimately, I work with you to determine where to go and how to get there. What is the “terrain” like? What sort of obstacles might be encountered, and what do we do when we get there? I come in with this information, but you have the power to choose amongst all these options. I look forward to doing this work with you!

Kiley Nettesheim
GRADUATE STUDENT INTERN | OR, WA
I am a clinical mental health counseling intern from Seattle University. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in psychology from Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI.
I value authenticity and believe that showing up as my genuine self in all aspects of life creates a safe and trustworthy environment for others to do the same. I believe this is an essential element for therapeutic growth and healing to begin. Every individual deserves to feel heard, understood, and to thrive in an environment of unconditional positive regard. I also believe in holistic healing, focusing not only on mental health but also on the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of wellness and the interconnectedness between them.
My approach to therapy is client-centered, trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, identity-affirming, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I utilize a variety of techniques from different therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, Gestalt Therapy, and somatic interventions.
I have experience working with individuals aged 14 and older who have experienced struggles with anxiety, depression, severe stress/situational stressors, trauma, relationship problems, suicidal thoughts, struggles surrounding identity, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and healthy coping, as well as issues related to spirituality. I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating minor and major life transitions or changes, self-identity concerns, stress management, and clients looking to increase self-awareness. I also enjoy working with clients coming to therapy for the first time, LGBTQ+ teens, and individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrums.
Melissa Brainerd
GRADUATE STUDENT INTERN | OR, WA
I am a clinical mental health counseling intern from Seattle University. I hold Bachelor’s degrees in Sociology and English, with a concentration in gender and sexuality, as well as a Master’s degree in Education.
I have worked for over 20 years with adolescents and their families, particularly focusing on educational and disability justice. This identity-affirming, trauma-informed work has centered around students and families who identify as first and second-generation immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse individuals, and those who are disabled or chronically ill, all of whom face systemic obstacles.
Life’s transitions and challenges—whether they are internal, external, or systemic—can become more manageable with some assistance. My role adjusts to your needs by holding space, bearing witness, identifying patterns, and highlighting your strengths. My work integrates a variety of modalities, including Gestalt, motivational interviewing, humanistic and existential theory, all from a trauma-informed, culturally affirming, and strengths-based approach, with the potential to incorporate art therapy, movement therapy, and somatic techniques.
I specialize in working with chronic illness and disability, developmental and life transitions, the exploration and appreciation of self, teen and young adult development, parenting challenges, and college and career counseling. Self-reflection and the work towards change can be challenging, and I appreciate the decision you’ve made to consider counseling.
Katie Thomas
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. I received my training at Lewis & Clark Graduate School and have my Bachelor’s in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well. I would describe my approach to therapy as curious, collaborative, and non-judgemental.
I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology to help clients deepen self-awareness, strengthen connection, and create more flexible ways of relating—to themselves, others, and their environment. My approach is individualized, identity-affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people grow best in relationships where they feel safe, seen, and supported.
I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating issues related to complex trauma, chronic pain, and neurodivergence. I especially enjoy working with people who’ve tried therapy before and are still seeking something that “clicks,” or are forging paths outside dominant norms and are looking for a space that honors that complexity.

Alli Nadow
GRADUATE STUDENT INTERN | OR, WA
I am currently a graduate student intern completing a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling program at Lewis & Clark College. I received my bachelor’s degree in Recreation Therapy. I believe finding your values and recognizing how you spend your time when you are not working can have a huge impact on the quality of your life. In the nine years I have done this work, I noticed people’s deep need to be heard and gain tools to make their life better. I have a strong focus on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and sexuality. I have worked in many mental health spaces and always honored in being alongside people’s journeys in life.
I believe that we all have innate capacity to grow through our difficulties. I hope to create a space where you feel heard, seen, cared for, and welcomed to explore your lived experience more. I believe in life, sometimes we develop patterned ways of going about our days. Some moments in our life, those patterns are helpful and get us through, and sometimes it is time to let go of those patterns to bring new ways of being into our experience. I believe counseling is a beautiful tool to help gain insight on certain patterns that are no longer helping us and create compassion and strength to look at why it may not be working and see what possible changes you can implement in your life to help create a life in line with your values and your authentic self.
As a counselor in training, I am an integrative therapist who wants to dismantle old patterns and foster sustainable change. My therapeutic approach is a blend of psychodynamic, attachment, and Third wave CBT in my sessions. I explore how these patterns originate from unconscious motivations and unresolved conflicts from our past. By bringing these dynamics into awareness we can gain insight into underlying causes and how that protects us from emotional distress. From there, we work on mindfulness and acceptance of these patterns without judgement, fostering psychological flexibility. By clarifying personal values and committing to actions aligned with these values, we can create new patterns that promote growth and well-being.

My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I work from a trauma-informed, Emotionally Focused lens, grounded in the belief that healing happens through emotionally safe relationships, the exploration of unmet needs, and a deeper understanding of the systems that shape us. I aim to support clients in accessing their emotions, softening reactive patterns, and moving toward greater connection—with themselves and with others.
I welcome individuals, families, and people in all types of relational structures—including polyamorous, kink-affirming, and non-traditional dynamics. I have a particular passion for helping people deepen emotional intimacy, navigate conflict, and strengthen their sexual wellbeing. I also offer support to those working through religious trauma or deconstructing from high-demand belief systems, honoring how these experiences shape identity, relationships, and meaning-making.
My background includes supporting teens and families through trauma and crisis at Youth Villages, working as a case manager and skill builder for diverse populations, and providing direct care for individuals with developmental disabilities. These roles have shaped my deep respect for each person’s story and strengthened my systemic, compassionate approach to therapy.
No matter what brings you to therapy, I’m committed to walking alongside you with care, curiosity, and without judgment.
