About
As a biracial Black and Korean American, I understand how complex and overwhelming life’s challenges can be, especially when they make it hard to show up as your fullest, happiest self.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 2 years of experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals who want to build stronger boundaries, improve self-esteem, and create meaningful connections. I guide clients toward healing and personal growth with empathy and insight, offering a safe, supportive environment for lasting change.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Washington. I integrate cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approaches to help clients develop confidence, manage emotions, and feel more empowered. My goal is to support self-discovery and emotional well-being.
Every client is capable of growth and healing. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where clients can explore who they are and where they want to go. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or ready for change, you don’t have to go through it alone, and healing can begin with one conversation. Reach out today!

When faced with trying to find a therapist of my own, I was met with the reality that it is not "one size fits all" and have done my best in creating an open and accepting approach to anyone who is seeking my care with the understanding that if I am not it, we can still work together towards a better impact.

Mary Lou Macarius is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, grief, parenting issues, school issues, stress, women's issues, and child therapy. She has more than 26 years of experience, working at institutions such as the Pacific Lutheran University Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic and Good Samaritan Behavioral Health Care Center, as well as in public schools serving students K-12th grade, working independently in Comfort Counseling. She also has experience serving individuals from six years old to 65 years old from her time at the Renton Counseling Center. She is a clinical member of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.
Mary Lou received a Bachelor of Social Work from Eastern Washington University and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University. She utilizes multiple treatment approaches including, but not limited to, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and structural family therapy. Mary Lou's dominant practicing theories are those of structural family therapy, which focuses on the ways in which families function and the changes that need to be made in the family structure to help them function more effectively, and solution-focused theory, which looks at the solutions that the client brings to therapy for coping with problems and builds on the client’s successes. She also likes to use some narrative therapy, which is focused on changing the way that you look at your life or problems.
Mary Lou is a trauma survivor and comes from an immigrant family, both of which influence the work that she does on a day-to-day basis. This, along with her clinical experience, allows her to support and understand her clients in unique ways.

I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing. I am Sam Bearer, a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience working with individuals and couples from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients work through emotional, relational, and interpersonal issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, anger, sexual issues, family and relationship dynamics, self-image and identity, communication, and mood and personality disorders.
I hold a master's in counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. My approach draws on multiple therapeutic modes, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, so I can stay flexible as each client explores their unique internal experience.
I love helping clients find self-acceptance as they explore their inner world and chart their own path forward. I'd love to get to know you and help you live in alignment with your values. When you need a partner to help you process life's difficulties with expertise and compassion, reach out to schedule an appointment.
