Pacific Tranquility Counseling

Pacific Tranquility Counseling, led by Alannah Smith, MS, LMHCA, provides mental health counseling services in Gig Harbor, Washington. The practice supports individuals aged 13 and older, couples, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Alannah Smith uses an integrative approach, drawing from mindfulness, compassion-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and somatic therapy. Unique offerings include nature-based walk-and-talk sessions on local trails and animal-assisted therapy, where a dog may participate in sessions.

For those seeking specialized support, Pacific Tranquility Counseling also hosts the "Paws to Connect: Navigating Anxiety with Your Dog" support group. This bi-weekly group, held at the Sound Dog Connection, blends human mental health counseling with canine behavioral intervention to address anxiety in both people and their dogs. A free 15-minute consultation is available to determine if the practice is a good fit.
