Prudence Addy, LMFT

Prudence Addy is a Washington-licensed therapist with three decades of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. She holds the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflects specialized training in working with individuals, couples, and families on relational and emotional concerns. Prudence has additional clinical training as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician under Dr. Ramani Durvasula, and she draws on that expertise when supporting clients recovering from manipulative or abusive relational dynamics.

Prudence approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to meet clients where they are in their healing process. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help, particularly for those whose past experiences with care were judgmental, coercive, or harmful, and she affirms the bravery in taking steps toward honoring one’s true self. Prudence works collaboratively to develop practical strategies and supports that align with a client’s goals and circumstances.

It is her honor to support clients through counseling, offering steady guidance for change and recovery while tailoring therapy to each individual’s history and needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Healing

Prudence integrates focused, evidence-informed methods to address relationship harm, trauma, and addictive behaviors in online sessions. One area of specialization is work with narcissistic abuse, using targeted strategies to help clients understand relational patterns, rebuild boundaries, and regain a sense of self after manipulative or controlling dynamics. Another primary focus is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and validation while helping clients process traumatic experiences and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. She also offers addiction-focused support that prioritizes coping skills, relapse prevention planning, and practical steps toward healthier patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Prudence frames treatment as a collaborative effort. She will listen to a client’s history, goals, and preferences, then tailor techniques and pacing to what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to receive consistent care from a licensed professional regardless of location within Washington. These formats offer flexibility for different communication styles and needs, helping clients access timely support in a way that works for their life.
