Relationship Issues Therapists in 98115
I aim to help you cultivate a sense of home, peace, and nurturance within yourself. My approach combines somatic, attachment-based, and emotion-focused work with cognitive and action-oriented perspectives. I will work with you to develop greater self-understanding, process traumas and emotional wounds, and build a life you want to live. I commonly help clients with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and feelings of being lost or overwhelmed with life. I also enjoy helping clients explore themes of meaning, spirituality, and expanded states of consciousness.

If we are wounded in relationship, we heal in safe relationship.
Pain is a sign that something needs our attention. When we are not aware of helpful ways to manage it, we look to what is available to us to cope as a survival tactic. We might numb our symptoms through food, social media, strained relationships, substances, negative self talk, excessive busyness--leaving us feeling disconnected or in constant conflict with others & ourselves. I believe in truth, empathy, & belonging. I vow to create a space where you will not be judged but held in all that you are. I view therapy as collaborative. You are the expert of your story & I am responsible to help you get grounded to anchor it.

As an individual and relationship therapist, I strive to help folks find empowerment, freedom, joy, and connection in the face of systemic oppression. My approach is warm, supportive, and relational. I am particularly passionate about supporting those from LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and immigrant backgrounds. Cultural messages and challenging past experiences can disconnect us from ourselves, from each other, and from our truth. I see my role as helping you uncover what is hidden, break free from constraining patterns, and reconnect with whatever and whoever make you feel most vibrantly and fully alive. Please see website for more details.

Are you ready to break free from unhelpful thinking styles and behaviors that are holding you back from living a more fulfilling life? During times of stress do you tend to be too hard on yourself rather than attending to your own needs? Would you like to feel more empowered with effective strategies to better manage worry, low mood, irritability or self-criticism? Coping with mental health challenges while also attending to work, relationship or health related concerns can be overwhelming. You deserve a safe and compassionate space to openly process your thoughts and feelings.

I hold the therapist/client relationship as sacred and an important catalyst for healing.

A connected mind, body, and relationship with others is critical in order to usher relief, joy, and pleasure into our lives and to help balance the struggles of daily life.
I am a queer relationship, individual, and sex therapist (LMFT, CST). I offer a collaborative, hands-on approach to therapy. I primarily focus on serving the LGBTQIA2+ community, women, non-binary, and genderfluid folks, those looking for increased connection in their relationships, those who want to explore their sexuality and enrich their sexual selves. I also enjoy working with folks through life transitions, creating healthy attachments, and setting boundaries. I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to start therapy. I aim to provide a space for you to feel genuinely heard and understood no matter what you are dealing with.

My areas of expertise include addiction and codependency recovery, relationship issues (for both individuals and couples), life transitions, and trauma resolution.
I believe that almost all change that occurs in therapy comes from forming a safe therapeutic relationship, and in the context of that relationship increasing your awareness of self, challenging your old beliefs, establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others, and experiencing and letting go of old pain. My task is to support you in that process. I tend to be active in therapy. I ask questions, offer observations, and look for patterns in the client's life. However, I believe the client is the final expert on themselves, and I trust in their unique healing process.

I believe that people innately have the internal resources to meet life's challenges. We all have great potential for growth and change when we are empowered to access these resources within ourselves. But it is in relationship with others that these resources are inspired and engaged. My approach to therapy is collaborative. My hope is to help create the conditions where you feel encouraged and supported to explore the themes that are present in your life.

I support clients to see a way out by offering a warm, collaborative relationship that acts as a healing container for you to find clarity that links your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Formerly known as Anna Ossenfort, I am a mental health counselor who supports individuals and couples, in person and via telehealth. Every life has its share of difficulty, disappointment, and distress, and my receptive, strengths-based, inclusive style aims to create an authentic connection where we can address what’s present in your heart and mind. Whatever you're facing, I will collaborate with you to determine the best course for you to feel better, meet your needs, and accomplish your goals. Specifically, I have experience helping folks with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, PTSD, boundaries, and more.

I love working with people who have come to a place in their lives where they want to make changes. Something is not working and they want to create a life with more joy, freedom, love, and integrity. Perhaps they are struggling with depression and anxiety, traumatic memories, difficult relationships, or grief, or perhaps they simply have the sense that they are not living fully. I work with my clients to establish a trusting relationship where they can speak honestly of the matters that most impact them and the events where they have felt anger, fear, grief, and shame.

With families, my goal is to help identify challenges and collaborate on an action plan for family success.

We've all experienced the pain of feeling stuck-- in our relationships, in ways of thinking and feeling, in behaviors that don't serve us. I work to help people identify ineffective patterns, explore the issues that trouble them, and deal with the unexpected challenges that inevitably arise in life. This work involves exploration of the past, identifying where relationships and experiences overwhelmed us, exceeded our ability to cope and resulted in the creation of unhelpful beliefs and behaviors. Untangling, reframing and updating these patterns leads to a greater sense of harmony both internally and in relationship to others.

In the center of my therapeutic approach is a strong therapeutic relationship with clients based on compassion and empathetic understanding/listening/seeking to know.
I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance and increase sense of peace, meaning and purpose. As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds. A rich full life experience as a classical musician/artist before mid-life, helps inform my service with added empathetic capacity

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
