About
Tobi Ricca invites people to bring what they are carrying and work together to identify what has gone wrong and what steps might help. He frames therapy as a journey in which the client leads and he accompanies as a guide, offering direction when feelings of overwhelm and lack of direction are present.
With 35 years of experience, Tobi uses a broad set of tools developed over decades of practice. His methods include EMDR, Solution-Focused counseling, and traditional talk therapies, alongside less common approaches such as Imagery therapies, Expressive Arts, and Energy techniques.
As a Board-Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress, he is prepared to assist clients with trauma histories. Tobi’s imagery training was completed with Akhter Ahsen, Ph.D., founder of Eidetic Imagery Psychotherapy, and he has applied imagery methods for more than 20 years with noticeable positive effects for many people.
His practice is inclusive of LGBTQ and gender-diverse communities. He is licensed in Washington as WA LICSW LW 00004032 (a Washington-licensed clinical social worker) and maintains a professional yet approachable style aimed at helping clients meet their goals.
