Therapists in King County, WA

I believe in honoring your intersecting identities and how they contextualize your experience. As a multicultural/mixed Asian American (Korean/Filipino/white), highly sensitive, queer femme, the question of how to navigate life in the duality has perpetually challenged and inspired me throughout my life, delivering me to this work. I'm passionate about working with clients of marginalized gender, sexuality, and racial identities who are exploring their truths related to culture, race, generation, and queerness. I hope that together we can explore the important intersection of personal transformation and social change.

You deserve a life of self-love, compassion, and healing. I specialize in working with people experiencing major life changes (new career, new family configuration, losing a loved one, romantic relationship ending or beginning, new migration to the US), depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and adjustment issues. I often serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, plus), refugee, and immigrant communities and young adults.

Even when we know that some of our emotional pain is unnecessary, on our own it can be difficult to figure out why the extra suffering and how to make it better. Anxiety, depression, trauma re-activation, relationship difficulties, and coping strategies are natural responses to life experiences and circumstances. Do they need to hurt so and are we stuck with them? Therapy is a great place to gain perspective on what you can change. Also, to widen the horizon from managing pain to living more fully like yourself and to thriving. Because, as Thich Nhat Hanh said, "suffering is not enough".

Welcome! My practice starts from a strength-based, solution-focused approach & utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to best support your needs. I work with a variety of issues such as trauma, attachment issues, anxiety & depression, relationship issues, women’s issues, and self-esteem/worth challenges.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

Mental health shouldn’t be a privilege. So much of how we feel in our minds and bodies has to do with the identities we inhabit in the world and how our environments do or do not support us. Counseling is a tool that can be helpful when dealing with the natural anxiety, depression, and grief that can arise as a result of living in a culture that refuses to see you or value you. I work with folks through an anti-oppression and somatic (body-based) lens. As a Non-Binary and Queer therapist, I am passionate about the decolonization of the therapy space. The personal is political.

Hi! I'm passionate about helping you find relief from trauma. A trauma history may mean you have PTSD or C-PTSD but it can also show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, struggles with attachment and trust, emotional difficulties, chronic shame, and more. I believe in collaborating with you to provide trusted and knowledgeable care that will help to give you a sense of direction in your trauma recovery with your unique experiences and goals.

I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences, reacquainting yourself from Covid isolation, or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your emotional needs aside in this process, or you just haven’t had the time, desire, understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I’d like to offer a safe space to truly slow down. A space to make for yourself where you can allow yourself to be seen and heard even if just for an hour a week.

I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, abuse, codependency and relationship issues. I do not pathologize issues, challenges, problems or people. The soul is always seeking expression, not just with joy and happiness, but also through challenges and sorrows. When we honor all aspects of our life stories, healing pathways begin to open up for us.

My ideal client seeks understanding and growth, and may be grappling with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or identity exploration. If you're seeking a non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and emotions, aiming for self-awareness, healing, and effective coping, we may be a good fit for therapy. Motivated by a desire to help my clients live authentically and thrive, I value therapy as a path to personal transformation, seeking to help clients find clarity, resilience, and a fulfilling life aligned with their values and aspirations.

I support people to come home to life and liberation in their bodies. I believe that we heal through the body and that the body is the most direct route towards feeling more alive, more connected, and like your contribution to this world really matters. It is my hope that our work will leave you feeling more free, alive, whole, and capable of having authentic connections with yourself, your body, and others. Through our body-based somatic work together, you will identify what truly matters to you and gain practicable skills that will help to align your actions with your vision for your life.

I am available to help you heal, navigate relationships and transitions, and discover why you may face the same challenges again and again. If you feel trapped, uneasy or stalled in making decisions, I can help. The stresses of life squeeze our ability to think clearly and feel at the same time. As a result, our emotions rule us, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence based practices, such as ACT and DBT to help clients regulate their emotions and reach their goals.

I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them. I love helping people to feel more connected to their environment and trusting of themselves in the process. What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded heart. The focus of my work is on the unique story and experience of each individual. My approach can differ in some ways from standard talk therapy.

I wish to serve people of color and other marginalized groups who are in need of healing and need assistance processing grief, loss, frustration and exhaustion from life's trials and adversities. I would love to work with individuals, couples and families who are ready to step into their power and reclaim their voice. I personally understand that being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from clinicians who don't look like you or talk like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

[My schedule is full. Please contact my group practice's Get In Touch form to see if other clinicians may have openings] You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied about some parts of your life. You might be aware of the person you want to be and can be, but something is getting in the way of that and you would like to understand what. Or, you might need a place to talk about difficult experiences so you can make sense of them. As someone who truly believes in the healing power of therapy, I am glad you are considering it as a way of reaching your potential, regardless of whom you choose as your therapist.

As a experienced bicultural Asian therapist from an immigrant family, I am passionate to help clients and provide culturally sensitive care that considers the unique experiences and challenges that clients have while highlighting strengths and talents. I also worked as an school teacher for over ten years because I loved working with students. Now I am happy as a mental health therapist to further facilitate healing and growth for both adults' and children's mental health and see them improve in their work, school and/or relationships.

Transition, trauma, and transformation are my specialties. Life transition, career transition, transition in relationships, racial trauma, the trauma of loss, sexual assault trauma, imposter syndrome, and personal transformation. Healing is complex and not linear. Using the mind, body, and soul connection I support you in finding healing, and a new sense of being. Healing is done in connection with others through embodied connection, awareness, and meaning or faith. Together through connection, you can bring healing into your life.

Hello, I'm Linden Griffith, and I'm here to help you find answers to the big question: "Who am I?" As a counselor, I specialize in guiding people through identity crises, life transitions (breakups, career changes, sickness, etc.), and spiritual exploration. I understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to figure out your place in the world. That's why I've committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings about how you want to live YOUR life.

I am a leader in somatic, body-mind psychotherapy and the expressive arts, including dance/movement therapy. Together, we co-create a space that values respect, honest connection, and communal support with a focus on your nervous system's response to stress. Relationships and our capacity to live in alignment with our core values are a top priority. My approach is always humanistic including multicultural, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I counsel while being a whole person myself, part of the holistic path of recovery that you might be seeking.
