Whether you’re looking to free yourself from the weight of anxiety, set healthy boundaries, better understand your reactions, or improve your relationship, quality therapy can make all the difference. I strive to create a therapy environment that is authentic, warm, and free of judgment so that you can get right to the important work of self-discovery and self-improvement. I provide both individual and couple therapy for adults, operating a fully Telehealth practice (all sessions are done via secure video calls).

In the course of your life, you may have internalized negative beliefs or thoughts about yourself. You may be exhausted of having to live a facade in front of others. You might be wanting to get rid of some of the unhealthy patterns you've been repeating, and you feel ready now for a change. You have come to the right place. Welcome.

I will journey with you in a compassionate and interactive manner towards your therapy goals. We'll tailor your therapy to your concerns, goals, strengths, and learning style. We'll explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are affecting your life, and some practical interventions. You will have a safe and supportive space for your growth and grief.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I love working with clients to find sustainable and creative approaches to life's challenges. The work is highly individualized, and is a process of discovery, finding a voice for deep emotions and authentic connection to self and others. Finding the courage, compassion, and confidence that equips one to live a wholesome and beautiful life is my goal as a therapist.

Now Accepting New Clients. In seeking out a therapist, I imagine you may be feeling a mixture of anxiety, uncertainty, fear and maybe a little hope. Maybe you are finding less fulfillment in the things that used to make you happy or you've arrived at an impasse in a loving relationship. Maybe you've always struggled with anxiety or emotional isolation and are seeking ways to find greater fulfillment in your relationships. A therapeutic relationship is one where we ask those questions out loud and work toward hope with intention and courage. I would be honored to begin this journey with you.

Our philosophy is based in healing. Many things can happen in one's life which can derail you from your true purpose and meaning. We see psychotherapy as a means to help you re-identify who you are, what your goals are, and how, by combining principles of your body, spirit, and mind, we can in a collaborative manner, find health for you as you define it. Though it is indeed trite to say, it is also true that life is a journey. I hope that with my 20 years of experience, I can help guide you to your true path.

Change happens! Maybe your life changed in a single event or slowly over time. It could be a loss of a person, a job, your health, or just the way things were. Sometimes the script of what you thought your world was about has flipped or no longer fits your new situation. We are in difficult times; our once reliable ways of coping and caring for ourselves may not work as well today. Even if you feel unsure of what’s possible, I can support you in finding new tools and revising your story to better fit your present needs and values. Let’s work together to discover what works best for you so you can get back to living your life.

Welcome! My name is Dan Meier and I am a relational, psychodynamic therapist. In practice, this means I work collaboratively with my clients and pay special attention to stories, embodied messages, and relational dynamics. I work this way because I believe harm and healing both take place within the context of relationship. Counseling offers the opportunity to explore our painful stories in the presence of an attuned, compassionate professional and rediscover our hope. Together, you and I will work toward meaningful change, greater self-acceptance, and deep healing.

Navigating an increasingly complex and demanding world can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disordered and depressed. We carry within our hearts a deep yearning for soulful purpose, inner tranquility and intimate connection but often feel we are just surviving. My greatest passion is to help people find their power; to teach them to creatively work with their inner and outer worlds; and to aid them in detaching from toxic relationships and patterns, in drawing supportive boundaries and in expressing themselves and their gifts dynamically within the world.

Hi, my name is Lina. I am a queer, latine(x), white, femme therapist offering support in the greater Seattle area. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and attachment challenges, especially folks who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with a wide range of clients from children with FASD, young adults working through childhood trauma, and teenagers coming out as trans. Each one of us has a unique set of needs, so I am here to meet you where you are and walk with you at your pace.

You want to appear confident and like you have it all together, but deep down, you struggle to get it all done and stay connected to the present moment. You may be fed up with the constant battle of proving yourself, feeling anxious you are missing something, or preoccupied with pleasing others. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel connected and enjoy the NOW. You’re ready to smile and laugh again. Most of all, you’re ready to take charge of your life and no longer be controlled by anxiety and grief.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child, Adolescent, and Family treatment from Seattle Pacific University (2008) and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University (2001). I have been a Licensed Psychologist in WA since 2010, and I am paneled with most insurance carriers. I have practiced in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, public school systems, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and mental health agencies. I view my primary role as providing a safe and contained environment where individuals can gain stability, increase insights into themselves, and develop more positive coping strategies.

In psychotherapy much depends upon the rapport. You must feel comfortable with the therapist and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to be helpful to you. I have been practicing clinical psychology since 1977. I focus on the interplay between our internal world and our relations with others. Not restricted to one approach, I integrate a range of useful change strategies including interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral. Psychotherapy is both an educational process and an interpersonal process. Each person’s experience is unique. I have special interest in eating disorders, relationship disturbances, depression, and stress.

My practice focuses almost exclusively on couples therapy. However, I do have a limited number of openings for individuals, especially when their primary issue of concern is related to their relationships.

If you’re experiencing shame, guilt, or crippling perfectionism, I would like to help. You may feel stuck, wrestling with constant self-criticism or struggling with the same damaging ideas for years making self-acceptance impossible. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to endure it alone. I hope to create a space where you feel safe to share your story, support you in navigating the most painful parts, and ultimately help you find healing and wholeness. While we can’t change the past, we can shape its impact on our present and future.

Every interaction is a step somewhere. Every movement, no matter how small, is our way of evolving, affecting, creating. I’m confident that our meeting will be part of discovering what resonates with you, what speaks to you – connecting to that inner voice that is yours alone. This really is all we have. We are meant to discover how we are made, the truth of who we are, and to live from this place. This is the place of peace. This is the place of love. My hope is for you to discover a space with a therapist that has resonance. This is where life expands. New energy, new breath, new possibilities. Find out if your place is with me.
