Therapists in Bellevue, WA

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS AVAILABLE If raising a little one in times of uncertainty and isolation has not turned out as you imagined, I am here to help. Are you struggling with transitioning to parenthood? Do you find yourself facing unrealistic expectations, guilt and pressure to be perfect? Are you trying to keep anxiety and depression at bay, while daily exhaustion prevents you from getting even basic self-care? If you feel inadequate as a parent, I can help quiet your inner critic, so that you can find peace within, fully connect to your child/partner and build an emotionally healthy family.

Together we will explore the things you want to change. I will help you access your untapped strengths and power in order to create the life you want: more empowered, more connected, more authentic. In a safe and compassionate way, I help you reconnect to your truest self and find your inner integrity so you can meet the world in a secure and resilient way. Most importantly, you'll have an ally in your life committed to this journey with you. If you have experienced trauma in your early or adult life, I am trained in trauma therapy and want to help. Remote counseling for trauma is now possible and accessible.

In-person appointments available. I specialize in helping folks who are navigating difficult situations such as divorce, death of a loved one, family troubles, relationship issues, chronic stress, and low self-esteem. Often these situations can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, or hopeless, just trying to survive it all. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Using mindful, safe, non-judgmental inquiry coupled with practical skills, I will help you to understand and process your own experiences in a way that leads to more peace, ease, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

I believe that having a compassionate and non-judgmental person to talk to can feel like a breath of fresh air. If you are feeling ready to begin exploring your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and experiences in order to gain insight and find solutions, I would be honored to help.

Our work will improve your relationships, communication, self esteem, and sense of overall well being. I believe in the inherent wisdom of clients in the healing process. I respect the lifestyles each person has chosen, and believe in the importance of confidentiality. I offer a safe place to explore concerns about relationships, parenting, marriage, transition, occupation, separation, depression, stress, and anxiety. I have treated individuals, couples, and families since 1995 specializing in internal families systems, human developments, and treating trauma.

My philosophy is that "knowledge is power" and I believe that every predicament can be an opportunity to learn and grow, but most importantly, the first step is to identify the problem accurately. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about helping my patients gain insight about their mental and emotional strengths and vulnerabilities through an objective and comprehensive evaluation by using standardized measures. Once all the information is gathered, I will offer extensive feedback regarding the results and make recommendations to help you or your child get the treatments or services needed. I work with ages 4 - 59.

Accepting new clients: Life presents many challenges and everyone struggles at some point with mental health issues. Whether the struggle is a result of a loss (loved one, job, etc), divorce, depression (perimenopause), or feelings of being overwhelmed, we are impacted and it throws us off course. Many times, we tell ourselves, it’s ok, it’ll get better soon. However, the struggle continues and relief does not come. We may sink deeper into the issue and feel worse or ashamed. If you feel like this speaks to you, let’s connect. I can help you navigate these thoughts and feelings so you experience relief. You are not alone.

When we experience challenging events in our lives, it is human nature to seek to avoid uncomfortable memories, emotions, or body sensations related to these events. Much like the body possesses the innate power to heal a cut on your leg, the mind is equipped with this same intelligence. Using suspension of judgment and psychoeducation, I provide knowledge and a safe container for clients to access their inner healing intelligence and find meaning in difficult experiences. I am also deeply passionate about harm reduction and I have dedicated many years of my career to addressing my clients' relationship with substances.

** NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ** Hi and welcome - I'm glad you're taking this step in finding a therapist - I hope I can help. My goal is to work with you to identify your main areas of concern/stress and develop a realistic strategy to reach your goals. I am a big fan of “doing what works” which, of course, means a different plan for each person. I work hard to adjust my own working style and in employing different strategies to meet your needs - to find the thing that works for you.

Welcome, I am so happy you are here! My practice focuses on the intersection of mental health and the human-animal bond. I whole-heartedly understand the importance of the interconnectedness between humans, animals, nature, and the therapeutic value between these relationships. I will honor and support your unique connection with the human-animal bond and how that impacts and enriches your mental health, therapeutic process, and healing at every level. I will companion you in finding hope, growth, healing, and transformation. I provide sessions virtually, in my office, or as walk-and-talk. My interns provide reduced fee sessions.

Are you in a relationship and still feel alone? Do you find yourself feeling angry all the time? Have you started to lose hope in your relationship? It doesn't have to be that way. Most couples learn that it isn't their partner they are tired of, rather the problem is the negative cycle that takes over every time they try to talk or connect. Individually, we can focus on easing anxiety and depression, boosting your self-esteem and setting boundaries where necessary.

My approach to counseling is one of collaboration. I use a holistic approach to my clients encouraging them to take the lead in their therapy wants, needs, concerns, etc., and maintain their autonomy. I use different methods of therapy including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (ISRT), mindfulness, and Interpersonal Therapy. My goal is to work as a team with my clients to identify and work through issues in an open, honest, and safe environment.

Suffering and difficult times can be catalysts for profound change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, or feeling stuck, you can experience a greater capacity for change, curiosity, connection, and life satisfaction. In therapy we'll address the symptoms you're experiencing, develop coping skills and tools for better living, and work to understand how you ended up where you are today. Additionally, we'll explore the root of your struggles in order to understand why you do the things you do, feel the way you do, and think the way you do as a way to create lasting change and transformation in your life.

I work from the fundamental belief that all individuals have the capacity to effectively deal with any challenge in their lives given the right tools and support. I am passionate about strengthening people and relationships through the exploration of family and interpersonal dynamics. I help individuals, couples and families improve and understand their relationships by providing a safe and non-judgmental setting.

I offer individual counseling to teens and adults. I have a passion for working with the issues that teens and their families face, viewing this time period to be critical developmentally. As a second-generation Taiwanese American born and raised in the U.S., I can work as a bridge between parents and teenagers with bicultural backgrounds. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, divorce, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, identity development, eating issues, navigating transitions, and social anxiety.

Welcome to a nurturing space where you need not face life's challenges alone. I understand the weight of worst-case scenarios and the drowning out of reason. Life transitions can be daunting, especially if you deviate from the heteronormative path. My approach is warm, laid-back, and compassionate. Our work is based on trust, respect, and your goals.

Dr. Holland specializes in comprehensive psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 4-24). Evaluations are tailored for your child and focus on both areas of strengths and difficulties. Currently, scheduling evaluations in the Seattle/Bellevue area in Fall 2024.

I am an Asian family therapist serving therapeutic needs of children, individuals, couples and families. I help clients gain awareness of their internal processes and the way they engage their loved ones and community meaningfully. People can integrate this self-understanding into their current life narratives, or in another word, 're-story' their life experiences. As we change the way we see ourselves, people and the world, we can choose to live differently and purposefully. When coming to my office, you will be invited to share your life stories, and I will listen as your editor.

The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others. You are people who experience hardships in life transitions, struggle with identity issues, have relationship conflicts, seek healing from traumatic experiences, suffer from social injustice and people who seek personal growth.
