šŸŒæ Welcome to Alton Counseling & Consulting

Therapy and Support for Moms, Teens, Families, and Couples in Washington

Hi, Iā€™m Kay Alton, a licensed therapist, mom, and wife. I provide in person and virtual therapy statewide in Washington and specialize in helping teens, moms, couples, and families navigate lifeā€™s most challenging seasons. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and deeply informed by both professional expertise and lived experienceā€”including my own journey through postpartum depression, marriage and parenting.

Whether youā€™re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready to heal old wounds, this is a safe space for you to find clarity, support, and real change.

  • Somatic & Mindfulness Practices: Reconnecting with your body

  • Mindfulness-Based Narrative Exposure Therapy: Gentle trauma healing

  • Flexible support: short-term (6ā€“12 sessions) or long-term trauma therapy

Couples Therapy (PACT)

Iā€™m trained in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), a powerful, science-based model that helps couples quickly rebuild safety, trust, and connection.

I bring over 15 years of Director-level program development experience to help organizations clarify their vision, set actionable goals, and create sustainable systems. My approach combines data-driven insight with a deep understanding of human dynamics, making strategic plans both practical and people-centered.

As a licensed therapist and organizational consultant, I specialize in helping teams and leaders navigate conflict, burnout, and organizational change through a trauma-informed lens. I work with HR departments, leadership teams, and staff to create healthier workplaces where individuals feel supported, valued, and equipped to thrive.
