SHANNON PALMER, LMHCASAGE WAY COUNSELING
About
Life brings challenges that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves and others. My goal is to help you navigate a path through these difficult and often debilitating challenges. I'm committed to providing a safe and supportive space where you feel seen and understood, and where lasting change can take root. My approach is warm and grounded in compassion. I draw from a range of modalities including CBT, emotionally focused therapy, mindfulness based practices, and narrative therapy to support healing and growth. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and care to help you reconnect with your strengths, find meaning in challenges, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. I believe therapy is about uncovering the resilience, wisdom, and insight that are already within you. Reach out for an intro session to explore working together. Accepted Insurance

AMANDA BECKSTEAD, LMHCAHAVEN PLAY COUNSELING
About
Amanda is currently accepting new clients. She is based in Bellevue and offers in‑person services for children and parents. She additionally provides parent coaching, available both in person and via telehealth. "With a background in teaching, I have always been eager to forge meaningful connections with others and help people grow and uncover their own potential. As a mother of four—two adopted daughters and two biological sons—I have firsthand experience with the joys and challenges of parenting, including the complexities of supporting both special needs and gifted children. I’ve also supported my aging parents through the gradual transitions that come with later life, which has deepened my understanding of how family dynamics evolve over time. These experiences, along with the ongoing journey of marriage—navigating communication, compromise, and shared responsibilities—have shaped my belief in the importance of empathy, patience, and teamwork in all relationships. As my children grew and my roles within the family shifted, I found myself drawn more and more toward the work I truly love: supporting individuals one-on-one through life’s challenges. That path led me to pursue a master’s degree in counseling, where I discovered deep satisfaction in creating therapeutic connections rather than managing full classrooms. While I focus on supporting children, I also find great fulfillment in assisting adolescents and parents as they navigate life’s complexities. Life can be overwhelming and, at times, profoundly difficult. Whether you are seeking support for a child or yourself, I am here to provide a compassionate and safe space where you will feel heard, understood, empowered, and, most importantly, connected to someone who genuinely cares about your well-being."
