James Vallembois

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my significant other and four adult children, friends, and our pets. I value connection, laughter, meaningful conversations, and staying active. You’ll often find me exercising, spending time outdoors, traveling, or simply enjoying quiet moments with the people I care about. As a Black clinician with a multiracial family, member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and someone in long-term recovery, I understand that our experiences, identities, and life stories shape how we move through the world. While everyone’s journey is different, I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients feel respected, seen, and supported. I believe growth is a lifelong process, and I try to approach both life and therapy with curiosity, humility, humor, and compassion

Belinda Ampomah

Outside of my clinical work, I find fulfillment in connecting with friends, traveling to new places, and rediscovering a sense of childlike wonder through board and card games. I am an avid reader and music enthusiast, with a special appreciation for the legendary Celine Dion and nostalgic 90s boy bands. My life is deeply enriched by my faith and cultural heritage; as a Ghanaian-American, my identity is beautifully shaped by the traditions of my birthplace and the experiences of my upbringing. I am fluent in both English and Twi, and I am currently dedicated to exploring my creative side, even if my artistic abilities are presently limited to simple stick figures.

Briana Bankston

I consider myself a broad-spectrum nerd, and much like my therapeutic style, I approach my wide range of interests with enthusiasm, passion, and curiosity. I spend most of my free time gaming, from hosting game nights in my community, playing TTRPG’s like Dungeons and Dragons in small groups, to solo online gaming and MMORPG’s. I take joy in everything from small and cozy to sweeping adventures, and I’m always excited to find new games to play and stories to invest in. I identify as queer and my work is gender affirming, kink and ENM aware.

Chisako Tsujino-Wells

Outside of my work, I enjoy traveling, experiencing different cultures, spending time in nature, hiking, camping, and observing wildlife. I am drawn to contemplative and meditative practices and cherish quality time with my husband, our pup, friends, and family. It brings much joy learning about environmental and marine conservation and I volunteer with local organizations dedicated to protecting the natural world. Contributing in ways that align with my values helps me cultivate hope and a sense of connection to the larger community.

Amber Latham

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’m a Southern girl living in the Pacific Northwest who loves making the most of my downtime. You’ll usually find me outdoors enjoying the sunshine—whether that’s tanning, lounging by the pool with a good book, or keeping up with college football (go Vols!). I also love expressing myself through makeup and fashion, and I'm currently working on my doctorate in Traumatology because I just love learning. As a woman who values community, inclusivity, and being comfortable in my own skin, I bring my authentic self into every space I’m in. Sharing a bit of who I am outside the office helps ensure that when we sit down together, you're connecting with a real, grounded human being who appreciates life in all its colors.

Lia Nguyen

I enjoy traveling and cherish quality time with family and friends, such as watching movies or TV shows together or sharing a meal. I love a good laugh and good company. At the same time, I regard moments of solitude as vital for self-care and as opportunities for personal introspection and profound insights.

Valeria Jones

I'm an older single mom with three kids (one of whom is all grown up). I enjoy spending time outdoors in my garden, hiking, or camping. I also like to crochet, I'm a voracious reader, and I practice yoga. I'm anti-racist, disability and LGBTQIA+ allied, and I believe that no one is illegal. I'm spiritual and interested in creating a world where everyone belongs. Mostly, though, I can't wait to meet you!

Too often searching for a therapist is a daunting task. Especially when you’re feeling hopeless and vulnerable, finding the right therapist can seem impossible. Where do I even start?

Yes! Two Chairs offers hybrid care, which allows for a combination of virtual and in-person sessions for clients who are located near one of our clinics and would like the option to connect with their therapist in person. With hybrid care, our goal is to help each Two Chairs client find the right therapist and the right setting for therapy — whether that’s from the comfort of your home or in one of our beautiful clinics, including Seattle.

If you’re interested in starting hybrid care at Two Chairs, the first step is to book your Matching appointment, where you can let us know that you’re interested in hybrid care. Please note: All matching appointments and first therapy sessions at Two Chairs are held virtually.

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is the best predictor of successful treatment outcome. Psychologists define the therapeutic alliance as the strength of the therapist and client relationship and how aligned you are on goals. Once you have developed a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist, studies show that individuals are more productive at work, have more fulfilled relationships, can cope more effectively with daily stressors, and engage in less risky behaviors.

Unfortunately, clients can not book with a specific matching therapist at this time. All of our matching therapists are licensed clinicians trained extensively in matching people to the therapist who’s right for them.
