Prudence Addy , LMFT

Prudence Addy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 30 years of professional experience. She brings long-standing experience addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and grief, and applies that background to help people navigate complex personal histories and current struggles.

Trained as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician by Dr. Ramani Durvasula, she combines specialized training with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person’s situation. Prudence approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, listening carefully and adapting dialogue and treatment plans to meet individuals where they are in their healing.

She recognizes that seeking help often requires courage, particularly for those whose prior experiences with support were judgmental, coercive, or harmful. Prudence honors that bravery and frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at restoring agency and supporting emergence of the client’s true self.

It is her stated intention to support and guide people through change, offering steady professional care and a thoughtful, individualized path forward.

Evidence-Based Care and Online Support

Prudence Addy integrates focused approaches that match the needs of people coping with trauma, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors. One approach centers on trauma-informed work, which helps individuals understand how past harm affects emotions, relationships, and daily functioning, then develops coping strategies to reduce reactivity and build stability. Another strand of her practice emphasizes addiction-focused interventions that combine relapse prevention, exploration of underlying triggers, and skills for managing cravings and stress to support recovery and healthier routines. Her training as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician informs targeted support for those recovering from manipulative or abusive dynamics, helping them rebuild boundaries, self-worth, and relational clarity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Prudence works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and responses to techniques, adjusting the plan over time so the therapeutic path fits the individual’s situation and pace.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across distances. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care while adapting session length and communication style to what works best for the person seeking support.
