Find a Therapist in Longview, WA

You may be someone who feels deeply and reflects carefully about the world around you. On the outside, you may appear capable and composed while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive, emotionally perceptive, or "deep feelers" seeking a trauma-informed therapy experience that honors depth, reflection, nervous system awareness, and authentic connection. Maybe you've been carrying something for a long time—grief that hasn't fully moved, emotional pain that still catches in your chest, or a quiet sense of being "too much" or "not enough," depending on the day. You may have tried to think your way through it, talk it out, or push it down—but your body still remembers. I'm Laurel, and I work with deep feelers, survivors, and sensitive, introspective adults who want to better understand themselves and the patterns they've learned to carry. In our work together, we'll slow things down and become curious about what's happening beneath the surface—your emotions, nervous system responses, relationships, and protective patterns. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, somatic, and relational. Rather than asking you to push past your responses, we'll listen to them. Together, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped your internal landscape and create space for greater self-understanding, connection, and trust in yourself. For clients who are drawn to spirituality or intuition, there is also space to explore these experiences with curiosity, discernment, and care. If you're navigating trauma, grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, burnout, or major life transitions—and are looking for something deeper than traditional talk therapy—I invite you to reach out. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout California and Washington.

My approach to helping people is rooted in warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to personal growth, shaped by both my family life and nearly two decades as a licensed marriage and family therapist. Drawing inspiration from my loved ones, the arts, and nature, I strive to create a nurturing and safe environment where clients can heal and build resilience. I specialize in attachment and relationship-focused therapy, utilizing evidence-based modalities and the PACE model (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy), as well as integrating innovative practices like psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My collaborative style empowers individuals to overcome trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship challenges, honoring each client’s unique strengths and journey. I am dedicated to supporting you with compassion and positivity as you embark on your path toward healing and transformation.

I love relationships, connection, and the feeling you get when you are able to truly connect with others.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in couples and relationships.

Therapy with me goes beyond standard talk therapy to work directly with your nervous system and core emotional patterns: Somatic Experiencing & Regulation: Calming "fight-or-flight" or freeze responses using grounding and somatic tracking to relieve physical anxiety and help your body feel safe again. Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring and harmonizing the different internal "parts" of yourself--especially those carrying shame, fear, or protective habits--so you can lead with clarity and self-compassion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Developing psychological flexibility, unhooking from overwhelming thoughts, and taking concrete steps aligned with your values.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by carrying your struggles alone, I want you to know you don’t have to do this by yourself. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, or disconnected from their families, their purpose, or even from themselves. You may be seeking clarity, healing, or a sense of direction. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. My name is Hussein Idow, and I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, cultural humility, and respect for your lived experience. I believe healing happens through partnership. In our work together, you can expect a calm and nonjudgmental space where your emotions, identity, and story are honored. I understand that many clients want practical tools, not just conversation. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and holistic approaches to help you manage emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, build healthier habits, and strengthen coping skills. I also specialize in working with young adults, immigrants and refugees, and individuals navigating family stress, identity development, and life transitions. My process is collaborative. You bring your goals, and I bring the skills and support to help you move toward them. Together, we explore what’s not working, identify your strengths, and create realistic steps toward healing. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship stress, my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, understanding, and evidence-based guidance. You deserve a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered—and my goal is to make this that place for you.

I approach therapy from a relational lens, looking to help you evaluate your relationship with yourself, how it may impact your relationship with others, how you represent yourself in the world, and how it's affecting your current sense of well-being. In addition to evidence-based interpersonal therapy (IPT), I also incorporate self-compassion and multicultural therapies into my practice, which help me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. In a fast-paced world that is constantly asking us to do more or be better, it can be easy to lose sight of ourselves and our values. Even for those who are otherwise high achieving or functioning, the demands of our current culture can feel overwhelming. In therapy, we will work collaboratively to explore what's not currently working, and how to develop new ways of being that better support the life you'd like to live. Whether you're looking for someone to hold space for you, collaborate with you, or challenge you, or maybe even a little bit of each, we'll work together to help you to get the most out of therapy.

Our goal when we created Refresh Therapy was to create a place where you can tell your story. Everyone has a story. We can't wait to hear yours. Counseling encourages you to examine your dreams, thoughts, choices, barriers, and pain to nurture positive life changes. We believe that success in therapy requires collaboration with your therapist, and that the right fit is vital to success. Refresh Therapy consists of several dynamic therapists who are ready to join you in your efforts to push past whatever is holding you back. We believe that life is full of potential. We want to help you uncover the best life you can live. We believe in a strength-based approach. We also know that you do not live in a bubble, and that systems such as your family friends, career, relationships, past, and other experiences make you the unique person you are. We know how important it is to understand who you are in context, so we can customize your counseling experience and better understand your feelings. Bryanna Goodman founded Refresh Therapy in 2010.

If you’ve struggled with depression, shame, anxiety or self-hate, have tried other therapies, and still aren’t where you want to be; if your reactions aren't changing despite all the work you’re doing; if you logically know you’re deserving of love and care, but have trouble really believing it; if you just want a better relationship with yourself and others; and if you want to enjoy life more, trusting you can face hard things and be okay, then I may be a good fit for you. I aim to provide a gender, queer and neurodiversity affirming space in which to discover, and hopefully love, your extraordinary Self.
