Meet the Team
Alita Crosby, Clinical Supervisor, LMFT
Hi! I'm the owner, clinical supervisor, and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist at August Bloom Counseling. I graduated at Whitworth University after 20+ years in community & healthcare settings. Like so many in this field, my life experiences left me wanting to support others navigating life's challenges in healthy ways. As a therapist, I work with teens and adults, specializing in relationships, anxiety, trauma, spiritual deconstruction, and identity. As a supervisor, I support graduate-level interns with a 15-month clinical experience required to become a licensed counselor or therapist.

Sofia Gonzalez, MFC-Intern
Hi! I’m a graduate student in the Marriage and Family Counseling program at Gonzaga University. I believe humans are fundamentally wired for connection and that healing occurs through authentic, collaborative relationships.
I approach counseling with the understanding that each person’s lived experience is shaped by unique sociocultural contexts. Our gender, race, class, sexuality, and other identities influence both the challenges we face and the strengths and resiliencies we develop. I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where clients feel seen and understood as they explore their experiences, build insight, and strengthen connections with themselves and others.
In our work together, you can expect curiosity, respect, and a collaborative pace. I am especially interested in supporting individuals navigating identity development, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Some of those roles included behavioral and direct support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including children on the autism spectrum. Through this work, Nate developed an appreciation for meeting clients with patience, curiosity, and respect for their autonomy.
