Hi, my name is Ansebe (she/her). I’m a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LMHC), and owner of Bicoff-Smit Counseling PLLC. I’ve been working in Mental Health for over 10 years both locally and internationally. I spent the last couple of years supporting individuals, families and young children through challenging life transitions. I enjoy working with blended families as well as queer families. I am a first generation immigrant and enjoy supporting other immigrants with acculturation as well as parenting. I provide services across WA through Telehealth only.

I am so glad that you’re here!

My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-led and attachment/ relationally focused. This means that I offer a warm and supportive space where you can explore patterns in your life and relationships that may be the cause of increased anxiety and stress in your life. My hope is that therapy will help you better identify your strengths as well as challenge negative thought patterns or communication cycles. During sessions we may talk through past experiences to better understand how these experiences are impacting your life and decision making currently. Having a more authentic relationship with yourself and others can increase happiness and joy in your life.

If you’re ready to learn more about what working with me would look like, feel free to schedule a 15-minute free consultation.
