I can offer you the space to unload, explore, fall apart, feel witnessed, and rebuild.
Hello and Welcome. My name is Dr. Feliza Guidero.
I imagine you’re reading this because you’re curious to see if a connection sparks somewhere in these words and if this is a space where you can finally exhale.
Life is messy, awesome, heartbreaking, and precious. And hard. Maybe you’re just trying to get through the day. You’re holding a lot, you’re doing a lot, and you need a space where you can set it all down.
I can give you that space.
How We Can Work Together
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington State, trained to help you with what is challenging, what you’re wanting to understand, what you’re wanting to shift.
You might find your way here if you’re…
…carrying too much…
…navigating a world not built for you...
…trying to figure out adulting…
…grieving something that mattered…
…rebuilding from what happened…
…or simply dealing with a lot of life.
And, you don’t have to see yourself on a list to know you could use some support.
Who I Am
I bring all my life experience to my work. I am a person of color and the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants. I am Filipina, Mexican, and Sicilian. I am a parent to children and animals.
I am a fierce believer in the power of being truly listened to. I think we can come to profound self-understanding through grit and grace (for yourself!). I think that real connection - honest, brave, compassionate - helps get you to that understanding.
“I don’t know all the answers, but I do know that trying to find the answers with someone is usually better than trying alone. ”
Whatever led you here today, if you found the spark, please reach out for a free consultation so we can talk about working together.

I was raised on Whidbey Island on a farm, playing in the dirt. I enjoy growing anything and know how to walk a cow home after it escapes from the pasture. I have a deep love and respect for the planet. I believe connecting with nature and breathing fresh air can do a lot of good for our mental health.
