Rachel Mouser, AAC, Counseling Intern
My counseling style uses evidence-based practices while also leaving space for deeper, more meaningful conversations about life. I often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and take a solution-focused, goal-oriented approach to help you create lasting change. But I also believe that exploring the bigger questions about identity, purpose, and meaning is vital to growth and self-actualization.
I see therapy as a partnership. I’ll walk alongside you, offering tools, fresh perspectives, and encouragement while helping you discover strengths and resources you may not realize you have. My goal is to empower you to use those strengths to create a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Francesca Mariani, LMHCA
Francesca Mariani works with adults, teens, and couples navigating life transitions, with a particular focus on neurodivergent-affirming care. She supports individuals with ADHD and autism who may be seeking greater self-understanding, structure, and support in a world that is not always designed with neurodivergent needs in mind.
Her approach is relational, affirming, and collaborative. Francesca draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), CBT, and existential perspectives to help clients build practical tools while honoring their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. Her style is direct yet gentle, structured while remaining flexible, and grounded in a holistic understanding of each client’s lived experience.
Francesca believes therapy is most effective when it is respectful, transparent, and human. She strives to create a space where neurodivergent clients feel understood rather than pathologized, and where all clients are supported in exploring change at their own pace. She offers telehealth sessions to clients across Washington State.
