We are the Ampersand Counseling Collective, a compassionate space offering in-person and online psychotherapy across Washington State—from Issaquah to Bainbridge Island. Rooted in depth-oriented psychodynamic care, we help individuals, couples, and families with curiosity, openness and intention. Here you can feel supported, seen, and held in your journey toward healing and authentic connection.

We chose the name Ampersand because it reflects how we see the therapeutic process — never linear, never final. The “&” reminds us that healing is layered, ongoing, and symbolic. It holds space for complexity, ambiguity, and the truths that can live side by side. In a world that often asks us to choose or resolve, the ampersand allows us to stay with the tension, to be present, and to keep unfolding. It’s a symbol that invites personal meaning — for both therapists and the people we work with.
