About Anastasia Kihwaga (She/Her)

Anastasia Kihwaga helps patients across Washington navigate overwhelming emotions, shifting life circumstances, and patterns that no longer serve them. She supports adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors with a warm, grounded presence, offering a space where clients can feel understood while developing tools that create meaningful change. As part of LifeStance Health, she works with individuals and families throughout Washington who are seeking practical strategies and compassionate guidance. Anastasia provides care for a wide range of mental health needs, with particular emphasis on anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma. She integrates evidence-based approaches to help clients gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, and build healthier ways of coping. Her clinical work is also shaped by experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and those navigating complex family or identity-related stressors, offering affirming, culturally aware support.

In addition to her broader expertise, Anastasia is especially passionate about helping clients work through challenges related to ADHD, alcohol and drug use issues, and childhood behavior issues. She approaches these concerns with empathy and structure, collaborating with clients and families to understand root causes, build skills, and foster stability. Her work in these areas is grounded in a belief that lasting change is possible when clients feel heard, empowered, and supported without judgment. Anastasia draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Christian Counseling, as well as mindfulness and exposure-based interventions. She serves diverse populations, including individuals with developmental disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with a history of adoption or foster care. She offers additional therapeutic modalities to meet clients’ unique needs. Sessions are available in both English and Swahili. Outside of her clinical work, Anastasia enjoys music, travel, and discovering new adventures—interests that remind her of the importance of curiosity, connection, and balance.
