OUR
TEAM
Clinicians and clients all have their own stories, strengths, and needs. The Fircrest Family is here to walk beside them all. Together we heal, learn, and thrive.
Our desire is to serve our clients and help them toward healing, learning skills, and thriving in their own lives and relationships. Our goal is to alleviate the potential for burnout, so that our clinicians can serve individuals and families more effectively. We do this by first empowering our clinicians to thrive in a community work environment of connectivity, mutual support, and education for healthy boundaries, business practices, and networking.
Why See an Intern?
Seeing an intern at a behavioral health clinic offers cost-effective, personalized care with fresh perspectives and cutting-edge techniques, all under the supervision of seasoned professionals. This approach not only ensures tailored, culturally competent treatment and continuity of care but also supports the growth of future therapists, making quality mental health care more accessible to all.

Stephen Black, MA, LMHC
Contracting Licensed Mental Health Counselor
A crisis can be scary, but it’s also an opportunity to find a new way forward. If you are desperate for a change, you’re in the right place! I work with people facing compulsive behaviors, substance use issues, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, an unhealthy relationship with food, anxiety, depression, challenges at school, and difficulty forming or maintaining friendships.

Makena Andersen, BS
Counseling Intern
I work with young adults and adults in the Vancouver, WA area—both in person and via telehealth—to help them work through anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. I especially love working with individuals who are discovering their voice and identity, often in the midst of big life shifts or emotional overwhelm.

If you're tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of pain and frustration, you're in the right place. I specialize in helping teens and adults like you who are ready to break free from old patterns and thrive. I believe in the power of transformation, but I also know it takes more than just wishful thinking to make it happen.

Kenny Davis, BS
Counseling Intern
I believe that people should be treated equal and understood as everyone has their own perspective and journey. My philosophy is strength-focused and trauma-informed while also utilizing physical fitness and mindfulness. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy in my practice.

Bethie Cummings, MA, LMHC
Neurofeedback Technician
If you’re struggling with anxiety, migraines, sensory processing, sleep issues, or trauma then you know how overwhelming day-to-day life can be. Will you make it to that special celebration, or will you be alone in a dark room? Will you ever find healing from the trauma that impacts your body, mind, and emotions? To do that, your brain needs to find a new way to function.

Aynsley Silva, MA, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
If you’re a businessman whose been described as a high achiever but feels like certain struggles are holding you back, I’m the counselor for you. Even with success, you may still find yourself dealing with anger, depression, anxiety, broken relationships, and addictions (pornography/substances). I help men of all ages become a person of honor and character.

Reaching out for counseling can be hard. Have you ever made ten calls to different therapists without a response? Maybe the first person you talked to seemed distracted or uncaring. When you call or email Jaime, you’ll find a thoughtful, sincere, and kind person who will connect you to the counselor that best fits your need. Today is the start of a new life!

Words can be hard! Finding the "right" ones or knowing where to start can be a struggle. My goal is to provide a therapeutic experience that goes beyond words. I approach therapy with warmth and openness, meeting you exactly where you are—no judgment, just understanding and support.

Monica Conway, BFA

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I offer a warm, creative space where you can explore life’s messiness through talk, art, movement, and play. My integrative approach blends Adlerian and person-centered therapy to support your unique story. Whether you’re crying, venting, punning, or pausing—your full, beautiful self is welcome here.

Adam Wade-Garrett, MA, LMHC

Is it possible to be burned out by academic and personal stress before you reach your thirties? 100% YES! Do you feel like people don’t understand you due to struggling with ADHD, or loving all things in geek culture? These struggles often lead to feeling on edge or restless about stress, unresolved grief, and a lack of healthy boundaries.
