Buddhist Therapists in King County, WA

Please note I am out of the office 8/16-9/1/2024. My approach is holistic and humanistic in nature, meeting you where you're at and building a trusting relationship so that we can do powerful work together. My client focus is adults 18+ who wish to explore and heal from complex trauma; individuals working through a major life stressor such as family dynamic issues, relationship changes, college/career transition; and those drawn to self-discovery, self-growth and self-potential. I am here to support you in on your path. I listen compassionately and offer skills and techniques that cultivate exploration, discovery, and healing.

I hold a deep regard and compassion for each individual and the ways they have learned to survive. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards integration of self and expansion of the potentials already inherent in you. In line with this, I aim for our work together to be as liberatory as possible. I see you as the expert of your own story and as holding the potential for your own healing. In our time together we can work to uncover what gets in the way of your inherent ability to flourish, be it internal, relational or rooted in the social environment in which we exist.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) who uses both talk & play therapy. My office is located in Seattle's Fremont Neighborhood. In therapy, your life takes priority; first and foremost, I am here to be with & listen to you. I am trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and welcome persons of all genders, sexual orientations, and systemic lifestyles. I treat all clients with unconditional positive regard. I am currently accepting new clients; please use the 'contact me' form-link which is accessible at the top of my website.

People are multifaceted, therefore I take a holistic, trauma informed approach to treating clients and look at the various symptoms and challenges one may be experiencing. Talk therapy is often beneficial on its own, but I enjoy bringing in other elements such as humor, and collaboration to enhance the expression and understanding of one’s feelings and experiences. I welcome clients’ ideas and creativity as we work together. I believe with empowerment and exploration people can use internal resources to notice patterns within themselves, solve problems and cope with life's challenges.

I am excited to work with couples and individuals to deepen your understanding of values. I teach skills and tools to help find peace in everyday life. Whether you are struggling with everyday stressors or processing your trauma, I’m here to sit with you. For in person sessions, my office is in the Ravenna neighborhood, located near University Village. My specialties include: relationship issues, concussion/ brain injury, woman's health, pregnancy/parenting, anxiety, and depression.

We are a collective of comprehensively trained, client-centered, and value-focused therapists who have a sincere interest in helping people improve connection to themselves, their sexuality, and their relationships with others. Our values reflect who we are as individuals and as a collective, where inclusivity is paramount, diversity is celebrated, and our work considers the needs of those we serve.

Are you a working professional feeling stressed or overwhelmed due to changes at your job or home? Are you feeling grief or trauma over losing loved ones, employment, or lifestyles and struggling to move forward? Do you feel like you are constantly setting goals you're unable to achieve? Life can be unpredictable and uncontrollable at times leading us to feel stuck and sometimes shifting our perspectives and focusing on the things we can change or learning healthy ways to cope can help us move forward.

Struggling with emotions that control and confine your life? I offer counseling for adults in a safe and relaxed atmosphere that helps you explore and understand your emotions, while teaching you practical skills to get a better sense of control. I’ve helped numerous people who once thought of themselves as “broken” get to a place where they can believe in themselves and be in the driver's seat with their thoughts and emotions. If you are ready to take control of your life, challenge your inner demons, and finally start living to the fullest, please don't hesitate to schedule a free consultation with me today!

Could you benefit from help resolving inner conflicts, achieving challenging goals, going through a difficult change, or improving communication skills to better relationships with family, partners and friends? The essence of counseling is achieving your desired results. My work as a therapist is to support you, step by step, as you embrace a lifestyle where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth, well-being and achieving your goals.

Counseling for the neurodiverse who are ready to take control of their day-to-day and start living a more fulfilled and joyful life. I get it, your brain works so fast it’s impossible to get your thoughts organized. All the distractions and the inability to communicate clearly makes every day feel like an overwhelming rollercoaster ride of chaos. The nagging feeling of always letting everyone down, including yourself, has real consequences. Let’s rewrite your perception of your story to take back your power.

Are you experiencing sexual struggles, or feel shame around sex stemming from Evangelical Christian purity culture or other religious messages? Do you feel hopeless about sexual dysfunction like vaginismus, premature ejaculation, unreliable erections, or lack of libido, arousal, or orgasm? Are you considering consensual non-monogamy, or having conflict within an open marriage or an ENM or polyamorous relationship? Do you feel conflicting emotions about how to be true to yourself, assert boundaries, and get your needs met within your personal or professional relationships? These are all issues I would love to help you with!

I specialize neuromodulation therapies. My emphasis is on the interaction of our relationship, the integration of brain, mind and body. What brings you to search for a skilled professional to be present to your inquiry? An inquiry perhaps ignited by an ineffable experience, invoking you to reshape your life, or perhaps an inner call to open deeper connectivity and understanding beyond the multitude of daily cyber interactions? What do you require most to navigate your life through the labyrinth of work, relationships and community? I am available to explore your questions with you, and to support you to awaken to your own potential.

By being present with my clients' suffering, I help them to achieve both acceptance and change. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and that the path to happiness requires honesty, kindness, and compassion for both self and others. My style is interactive and collaborative with an emphasis on making changes via concrete, specific plans of action. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My understanding of the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship is grounded in attachment theory. I especially enjoy working with issues of identity and differentness.

You deserve a therapist who is a good fit for you. A nonjudgmental listener who accepts you for who you are while also facilitating the change you want to see. A professional who can provide valuable insights within a safe space to share and explore. Someone who sees the value in understanding and processing your personal history without losing focus on the present.

I welcome folks who want to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. In an increasingly lonely world, therapy is one place you don’t have to navigate uncertainty alone. I provide a welcoming space so that you can process your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. If you're seeking clarity, inner peace, or deeper connections with others, I am here to support you in reaching your goals when you’re ready.

My approach to therapy is dually focused: I offer evidenced based interventions that teach skills and concepts to help you better manage emotional and mental discomfort. I also focus on insight, so I like to explore the deeper self, your existential curiosity, core beliefs, and values. I have found this approach can increase resilience, foster healing, and allow growth. I am collaborative, encouraging, and enjoy incorporating laughter and humor into sessions when appropriate.

Are you and your partner in a rut when it comes to sex? Or maybe it is not happening at all? I specialize in working with committed couples who have lost their sexy spark and are looking to feel closer, more excited and genuinely passionate again. My work is unique in that it's not about tips and tricks, but rather the deeper psychological blockages that might be holding you back in the bedroom. If you're ready to do the work and transform your relationship, I would be honored to be your guide. I love working with sexually diverse clients including: kinksters, LGBTQIA+ clients, sex workers and non-monogamous folks

Hi everyone! I'm Jeff Scott, the owner of Ascend Higher. We are currently taking new clients. I am an EFT Certified Therapist & Supervisor, Adjunct Professor at Utah State University, and Chair of the Northern Utah Emotionally Focused Therapy non-profit Board. We are a couples, family, and individual therapy clinic. With EFT as a gold standard for couples therapy, I am dedicated to producing the most qualified and skilled Emotionally Focused Therapists in Utah.

I work with a diversity of adults experiencing relationship issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and life transitions. Are you feeling stuck in in a pattern but unsure how to break out of it? Are you struggling to find a sense of balance or hope, navigating life transition, feeling afraid to engage in activities you once enjoyed? You may be experiencing self-judgment, low self-worth, shame, or just seeking change. These are common issues that bring people to therapy, and can be an opportunity for deeper growth and acceptance. When you feel seen and heard in therapy, deep healing is possible.
