Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Kirkland, WA

I believe that all persons have the basic right to be heard. We all have experiences that make us who we are, some of which we may need or wish to explore further or heal from. Together in counseling we can create a safe place to work toward agreed upon goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the Seattle area with over 10 years of experience. I provide evidence-based consultations, therapy, and assessments with a strength-based perspective to provide families and individuals with skills and support. I help caregivers and their children as they seek services, assessments, and new ways of interacting. I have a particularly strong background in working with families focused on neurodiversity (e.g., autism, ADHD), behavioral and emotional difficulties, anxiety, and genetic syndrome concerns. I currently have no waitlist for therapy or assessments.

Sending you the best on your therapy journey! I work with adult women, non-binary people, and gender expansive individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and the impacts of previous trauma. I have specialized experience treating clients with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image concerns as well. I particularly love client work that engages in identity exploration, reflecting on and healing attachment styles, and reparenting. While I am grateful for the accessibility to therapy that telehealth provides, I strongly prefer to meet with clients in person, as I find it to be exceptionally effective.

In my therapeutic practice I seek to motivate clients to build the brain they want rather than feeling stuck with the one they have. By harnessing the power of cognitive restructuring, we can excel at tackling complex issues like dealing with stress, managing emotions, changing habits, controlling impulses and navigating complicated relationships in the same way that we would get better at any other skill; through dedication and practice! I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and skills to help clients set and achieve their own therapeutic goals and try to instil a sense of hopefulness and resolve in every session.

Changing your life for the better is rewarding and possible! You most likely came here looking for emotional and practical support and tools. I am here to work with you. Together, we can work on your individual wants and needs, life transitions, and social dynamics. I work with adults, teens 15+, and diverse and fluid families. My focus is mainly life transitions, anxiety, depression, bipolar 1 & 2, ADHD, and PTSD/ trauma.

Often change can be out of our control, yet I believe it can still lead to amazing opportunities for growth. I am myself very passionate about working with clients who need support around life changes and work through past trauma. I work with clients of all backgrounds to increase their sense of autonomy over their change whether that’s letting go of an addiction, getting back in the gym, or building better habits. Congratulations on taking the first step and I look forward to starting this journey with you.

Life never goes the way we plan, especially during adolescence and young adulthood. It feels like you know everything yet as time goes by, you realize there is so much more to learn. Once you think you have it figured out, life happens and your path completely changes. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State, I offer Individual Therapy to Adolescents and Young Adults. I support clients experiencing challenges with academics, socializing, communication, problem solving, and time management. We will work together to determine your strengths and how to help you move towards positive change.

I provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, stress, relationships and work/life balance. We all face obstacles in life. During difficult times we can feel lost, stuck and/or intense emotions. Counseling can be a helpful, healthy way of addressing these challenges and feelings. Whether you are experiencing a long-standing issue or a more recent change, I can help you find the best way to move forward.

I am a bilingual/bi-cultural (Spanish) psychotherapist and enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. My main focus is working with adults struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain, peer conflict, acculturation, and grief/loss. I also have expertise in providing services to adults struggling with life transitions.

I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety/depression, meaning and existence, personal growth, and stress. A few special areas of clinical focus are: LGBTQ+ issues, gender-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming care, and Multicultural/Identity issues.

Welcoming New Clients! I work with individuals going through a major life transition such as burnout, personal loss, "empty nester syndrome", a career crisis, break-up/divorce, etc. They are surprised how this change has revealed things about themselves that have been too painful to acknowledge until now. Whether it's underlying anxiety or depression symptoms, perfectionism, "people-pleasing", regret, grief, emptiness or shame, they want to learn more about who they are so they can have a more fulfilling relationship with themselves and others.

Hello there! I'm Christina, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with you. I'm accepting new clients with availability within the week. My passion has always been centered around helping others live their best lives, and I bring a wealth of experience to the table. I understand the challenges of navigating anxiety, depression, building coping strategies, addiction, and trauma. Through my journey and professional work, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds, offering individual, family, and group therapy services.

Accepting new clients! Taking the initial step to start therapy can feel daunting, but I am here to support you. I work with teens and adults addressing a range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-harm. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and based on individual needs. As a practitioner who has experienced my own healing in physical and mental health, a holistic approach with trauma informed care are key parts of my practice. My goal is to create a safe space for teens to explore their identity and navigate strong emotions and giving adults a non judgmental space to express needs and begin healing.

They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Washington. I have considerable experience working with many issues, in both brief and long-term therapy, including life transitions, stress, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, abuse and trauma, disordered eating and body image, family and relationship issues, personality disorders, alcohol and drug issues, and thought disorders/schizophrenia. I have worked with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds including LGBTQ individuals.

Many individuals may see you as the person that has it all together, but on the inside you feel very different. The emotional disregulation you are experiencing is becoming to much. You are your own worst critic and feel defeated in life. Feeling lonely and isolated even when around others. No one knows or understands the perpetual anxiety and depression that continues during your daily living. Your loosing sleep because of the racing thoughts that just won't leave. Going through life constantly thinking that there is something wrong with you is leading to destructive and suicidal thoughts. Your at the point of giving up.

I offer in person and/or telehealth and currently full. I offer a phone consultation if you feel that would help you determine compatibility. I work with issues such as anxiety, self -esteem/worth, body image, transition/phase of life issues, relational issues, grief and loss issues, and simple, intergenerational, and complex trauma. I primarily focus with individuals.

It takes courage to seek help. Whether you are trying to make an important decision, facing a crisis, or in the middle of a major transition in your life, it makes sense to seek counsel. Sometime we’re feeling stuck and isolated while longing for more community and personal growth. Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and your view of others. It can lead to anxiety, depression and negatively affect your ability to develop healthy relationships.
