About Providers

WA License:  LH61264186 

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. This means I  have completed an accredited graduate and post-graduate training program in psychology. I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University in February 2020 and became fully licensed as a mental health counselor in March 2022. 

I completed my practicum and internship in a little more than a year at a community mental health agency supporting families and youth from December 2018 - January 2020 under the supervision of Carolyn Bohnen, LMFT.  In March 2020 I started working at Beautiful Autism and have worked with a variety of clients including young children up through adults and families. Late in 2020, I started working on my private practice business plan and starting May 2021 officially opened All Creations Counseling. 

Prior to my experience in the mental health field, I worked for the Boeing Aerospace Company for 10 years and worked with a diverse group of people. This time at Boeing shaped how I view people and taught me about life and how various life events and transitions can impact each member of a community.

I have worked with a variety of clients in a variety of situations. I have experience working with teens, LGBTQAI+, adults, and families processing through self identity issues, self esteem, family conflict, divorce, trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship challenges. I have worked in community mental health and in a group private practice for the last two years. I enjoy working with tweens, teens, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds as we learn and grow together in therapy.

 I offer a supportive and collaborative space where individuals can safely explore their emotions, thoughts, and personal experiences. My counseling style is grounded in a client-focused, compassionate approach that values authenticity and emotional safety. I incorporate mindfulness-based strategies and evidence-informed tools to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and manage challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm with greater resilience.

With deep respect for each person’s unique life path, I bring a holistic, trauma-informed lens to my work. As a military veteran, I hold a nuanced understanding of trauma and its lasting effects on mental and emotional well-being. My approach integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioral techniques to support healing, foster self-awareness, and empower clients to regain a sense of control in their lives. I’m committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your growth and healing journey—at your pace, and on your terms.

I have experience working with children, teens, and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, body dysmorphia, women’s issues, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools you need to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Ally Ponte, LMHCA offers couples counseling and is highly interested in working with couples to help them resolve differences and learn better communication techniques.
