Therapy for emotionally aware adults and couples navigating relationships, boundaries, emotional overwhelm, and cultural identity.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns, regulate emotions, and relate to yourself with more compassion and confidence.
I’m Valquiria Molina, a Brazilian therapist based in Washington State.
I am a LMHCA (Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate), in the State of Washington (License #MC61484342). Supervised by Sarah Dochow (License #LH60498747). I work with sensitive, introspective adults and couples who often carry more emotional weight than they should have to carry alone. I also have a special interest in working with immigrants and multicultural individuals navigating identity, belonging, and life between cultures.
My clinical focus includes:
I earned my Psychology degree in Brazil and completed a Master’s degree in Psychology with a clinical focus in hospital settings, supporting individuals facing complex emotional and health-related challenges.
My style is warm, insightful, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, hiking, weekend getaways, slow mornings, reading, and spending time with my Yorkie.

My approach is holistic, client-centered, and depth-oriented, integrating Jungian psychology, mindfulness, attachment-based perspectives, and trauma-informed care. I aim to create a supportive space for self-understanding, emotional healing, and meaningful change.
