Parenting Therapists in Bellevue, WA
My specialties: Loss & grief, life transition, traumas, parenting, couples/marriage counseling, ADHD, PTSD, depressions and anxieties.
I perceive life as a journey, consisting of searching meaning and coping: Meaning in different roles and aspects of life motivates us to move forward; coping is strategies to get there from here. However, at different life stages, we often got stuck because of different reasons. Thus, either we no longer can see the life meaning(s) and/or our coping strategies are no longer effective. We are likely stuck under these circumstances, which leads to sufferings. I believe that counseling is a catalyst to facilitate the needed changes & adjustments to get unstuck and to have a meaningful life again.

Whatever it is bringing you to try therapy, I applaud you; sometimes the first step is the hardest one. I provide support for individuals, couples, families, and teens (16+). I specialize in offering (outpatient) eating disorder recovery support, "gentle" parenting/general parenting challenges, couples therapy, and anxiety and depression symptom management. You could say I'm a teen whisperer; I'm young at heart and am able to foster connections with young people that get them talking: to me and to you. I have five years' experience working with teens in after school programs and as a case manager.

Sometimes it seems like we are trapped in an unfulfilling routine that repeats week after week. It feels like a constant struggle to try to keep up with our responsibilities, and we start to wonder if we’re even getting anywhere worthwhile. The news headlines are depressing, the future feels uncertain at best, and even finding time and energy for self-care is challenging. It’s easy to fall into bad habits, and harder to build the healthy ones. When all of that is topped with work stress, relationship or health challenges, parenting struggles, loss of a loved one, or a traumatic event, it can become too much to bear alone.

As a long-time teacher, I love the energy that children and teens bring to their world.

No matter what age, children, teens, and even parents are always learning and need support to manage those challenges.

As a bilingual and bicultural Spanish speaking therapist I have a passion to work with Latinx community.

I have experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions and parenting challenges. I work with adults, children and their parents/caregivers. People need a space where they can feel listened and safe to tell stories of pain and trauma. But also, a place where someone believes in them and can be an ally in their path to find their authentic self.

When difficulties emerge, we have a choice, an opportunity. Challenges are part of life and although we navigate most with courage and confidence, there are times we feel powerless and stuck. By exploring new strategies for understanding our difficulties, we construct a different lens for viewing hardships and subsequently discover our unique capabilities and emerge stronger and wiser. Whether you are a parent struggling with the evolving dynamic of communication with your children, or a partner grappling with the ebb and flow in one's relationship, these are our most essential opportunities for a life changing transformation.

I work with adults (19+) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, post-partum mood disorders, grief and loss, difficult life transitions and struggles with body image and their relationship with food.
Are you wondering if psychotherapy may help? Many, many clients have discovered that speaking to another about their stresses and symptoms, in a safe and non-judgemental place, alleviates their anxiety or depression. This is because it is easy to feel overwhelmed alone by the many difficult feelings and confusing thoughts and because another mind and heart can clear the way for deeper understanding, support and healing.
I encourage you to take the step to call.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
