Hello and Welcome!
Are you going through a major life transition from a recent work injury and suddenly feel confused, lost, or unsure of what to do next? Are you experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma from your work injury? If so you are in the right place.
​
It is my belief that every human being is resilient in nature and it is my honor to journey with you as your therapist as you engage in self-discovery and growth that may help you cope with everything you've experienced since your work injury. It's common to feel emotions of loss and grief, depression, anger, sadness, and anxiety after a work injury. Perhaps you are grieving the loss of who you used to be prior to your injury; or perhaps your future is uncertain due to functional limitations and not knowing if you can return to your previous job. These are all normal and common reactions after suffering from a work injury.
​
I want you to know you are not alone and there is a lot we can do in our work together to help you achieve emotional and psychological health and wellbeing. If you're reading this you're more than likely one of my clients already and I created this website specifically for you to have a place to obtain additional resources to support you in your therapeutic journey.
Feel free to browse around and explore the various handouts, worksheets, and videos that I update weekly in the "Client Resource" section of this website. You will find strategies to cope with anxiety, panic attacks, trauma symptoms, depression, and much more!
​
If you're not presently a client and would like to book a session with me you will need to contact your Attending Provider to faciliate the referral. See the "Make a Referral" webpage for more information. Please note I am currently only providing telehealth therapy for clients with an open Washington State Labor & Industry claim.
​
I'm so happy you're here and look forward to working with you!
​

Dr. Cheryl Fracasso
