Licensed Associate Clinical Social Worker

Hi there! My name is Tessie, a clinician at our Northgate clinic in Seattle, WA who provides therapy services!

I specialize in multigenerational practice with children, families and elders, and enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience including crisis intervention, medical social work, child welfare, crisis intervention, and community mental health. I love working with historically marginalized communities like the LGBTQI+ and BIPOC/AAPI communities. I believe every person is capable of thriving with adequate support, and I will do my best to provide that support for you.

When providing therapy, I use a humanistic, strengths-based perspective. I have spent my career supporting youth, families, and marginalized communities. I have diverse experience including work at The Trevor Project providing crisis support to LGBTQI+ youth, and in Seattle Children’s Psychiatry Department. I support people in leading their own healing.

I believe the hardest part of healing is starting your healing journey, and you’re doing that now – well done! Every person can heal and grow when they have the support they need to work through any barriers and trauma. I look forward to providing that support, and helping you live the life you desire.
