Spirituality Therapists in University District, Seattle, WA

As a counselor, I am experienced and devoted to supporting individuals, children, teens, couples and families who present with a variety of concerns including relationship issues, spiritual trauma/abuse, adjustment issues, crisis, loss and grief, fears, depression, relational issues, negative self-talk, family conflict, the need for coping skills, self-esteem and self-worth struggles, life transitions, anxiety, childhood trauma/recent trauma in adults and children, and those wanting to explore their cultural identity and issues of spirituality.

I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, chronic illness, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, difficult life transitions, grief, burnout, and overwhelm. I believe discovering our authentic self, landing safely back in our body, finding the deeper meanings underneath our current symptoms, releasing patterns that no longer serve us, and identifying our fears, hopes and desires can help us find a renewed sense of peace and purpose in our life.

I work primarily with individuals who feel bound in aversion toward themselves. Whether concerns manifest as self-hatred, shame, relational difficulties, terminal regret, questions around spirituality, depression, anxiety, or in any number of other ways, I wholeheartedly trust there is more to the story than meets the eye. I support our exploration by opening a receptive and creative space for truths that might not feel at home elsewhere. As we shift painful thought patterns out of isolation and into dialogue between two minds, new and surprising truths emerge. These can form the basis for new peace and possibilities.

I have been a child and family therapist since 2009, and volunteered in the field of grief and loss for 14 years, working with grieving children (ages 3 to 18) who lost a loved one. I'm client-centered and strengths-based, and believe my job is to try to understand how my client's brain works, to best assist each individual understand her/ himself. I have learned from the last 9 years working with a wide variety of amazing individuals that I must be very creative and flexible. I'm grateful for how much I have and continue to learn from my clients.

My approach to therapy is supportive and empathetic.I believe the most important element of therapy is the genuine connection between the client and therapist. Each client has unique needs and my goal is to meet each client where they are in their process of self awareness and healing. Therefore I utilize a variety of modalities such as CBT, ACT and Mindfulness. I see psychotherapy as a joint collaboration between therapist and client and strive to empower each client in their journey of inner exploration, mental, spiritual and physical healing.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and couples, especially those who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, to access their innate healing power, reclaim ancestral knowledge, and achieve their vision of wellness. I practice with the beliefs that everyone is the expert of their own story, and have the power to heal themselves under the right circumstances. I provide support to those ready to process and work through past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, spirituality, identity struggles, multicultural experiences, and building connection and intimacy.

I have in-person openings for nature-based therapy. I offer nature-based therapy to LGBTQ+ witches, pagans, and other practitioners of earth-based spirituality of all ages. My work is supporting folx to grow self-esteem, co/self-regulation, compassion & belonging. I use the tools of nature-based therapy and magical/spiritual practice. These include ritual, divination, spell-work, song, mindfulness, and movement. I support clients in connecting with elements, nature, ancestors, and other guides. I help people access healing through connection with nature, parts work, family systems therapy, healing internalized oppression & play.

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions, a noisy chaotic mind, or feel disconnected from your self and your purpose? Let's work together. The current world we live in can often feel overwhelming, and can make us feel stuck, anxious, or low energy. I work with trauma, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and self-expression, among others. Together we can work to metabolize traumatic experiences and emotions, expand your toolbox of helpful coping strategies, heal and deepen your relationship with your self and others, and help you live in a state of grounded peace and self-empowerment no matter what difficulties arise.

Are you a woman in transition? Would you like heartful support and skilled guidance for moving through grief, confusion and turbulence into a meaningful, radiant new life? With professional training in life coaching as well as psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, trauma, depth psychology, and mindfulness, I have the skills and in-depth life experience (personal AND professional) to support you in a way that is uniquely tailored to you and your specific needs. I will help you say Yes to the profoundly meaningful invitations of transition and give you practical tools to navigate future transitions as well.

My goal is to reconnect you with the wisdom and depth in your life that make all problems workable. In fact, the worst symptoms and problems that we wrestle with often hold the seed for growth and transformation as a person. The focus of my work is with adults and couples. My practice is LGBTQ-affirmative and welcomes diversity of all kinds. I have two offices. One is located in the cozy, historical neighborhood of Wilburton and the other is located in Wallingford on Lake Union on houseboat Grace.

Hi, I'm Lizette. I like working with women, LGBTQIA+ folx and couples. I specialize in ADHD, adult autism, and PTSD. Whether you're balancing expectations or simply seeking to thrive, I'm here to provide the support and strategies you need to flourish. Together, we will work towards your goals, fostering resilience, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

I am a direct, warm, engaged and interactive therapist. I love working with couples and families seeking deeper intimacy and with individuals who approach their life challenges as opportunities for personal growth. I encourage clients to trust themselves, follow the wisdom of their bodies, and do what they truly love. My best work is with clients who not only seek immediate relief but also want to empower themselves emotionally, creatively, and spiritually.

As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and with diverse backgrounds to address issues of depression, anxiety/stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship struggles, and adjustment to life changes. I have particular interest in late teen/young adult development, trauma recovery and growth, and supporting those who work in other “helping” professions (healthcare, childcare, education, etc). I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to share in each person’s journey, providing encouragement, asking questions, and helping them identify and connect with what adds value/meaning to their lives.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with trauma, codependency, and alcohol and substance use. I understand the interconnected nature of these challenges and the profound impact they can have on one's life and ability to cope with day to day stressors. I work collaboratively with clients to navigate through their struggles and cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and empowerment. Whether you're seeking support in breaking free from addictive patterns, unraveling the dynamics of codependency, or healing from past traumas, I'm here to provide a safe and compassionate space for your journey towards healing.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.

I see therapy as healing through understanding. Understanding of your hopes and how to bolster and nourish them, your suffering and how to be with or relieve it. I strive to listen holistically, with humility, and to provide a nonjudgmental space in which the layers of your identity and life contexts can be safely explored. My clinical thinking is psychodynamically-based and is also informed by my background in the arts and my practices in meditation and yoga.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming human experiences such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may be hindering our quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings.

You're seeking relief and meaningful transformation. On the outside, you may appear to have everything under control, but deep down, you're overwhelmed, and feeling stuck. Perhaps, you yearn to connect but find it hard to trust others, and anxious about their perceptions of you. You may feel burnt out and exhausted from constantly prioritizing everyone else's needs over your own. Society, family, relationships, or past trauma may make you feel unsafe and doubtful. If you resonate with these and ready to get support, I'd love to help you navigate through these challenges, find inner peace, greater self-love and become more resilient.
