Sylvia Menlove-Terry, LICSW — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Sylvia!

I'm glad you are here. My goal is to make this a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen and heard. I believe you are the expert in your life, have the capacity to heal and grow, and are more than your symptoms.

My focus

I work with all ages and truly enjoy working with teens. I can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation coping skills.

My approach

I start by understanding your biological, psychological, social, and spiritual experiences, then help you identify existing strengths that can be used as resources. The therapeutic approach will be based on your needs and goals.

My communication style

During sessions, I use active and reflective listening, while staying curious about your strengths and how they can be used as resources for your unique life challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional and lived experiences integrate knowledge of physiology and health with the emotional and social. I believe we live to our fullest when all our parts are in balance.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify how you want to measure progress and collaboratively create treatment goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be a time to explore your expectations of care and how symptoms impact your life.
