Sexual Abuse Therapists in Lynnwood, WA

Current Openings at 9am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (PST). - I offer a gentle and direct approach grounded in safety and trust. My goal is to offer space for therapy to be about the client–their story, their experiences, their feelings, and what they want. Whether you know what that is already or are hoping to figure it out along the way, therapy with me will offer a place to have challenging conversations, understand your past, play with what the future might hold, and explore your wants and needs and how to meet them. I am a HAES-informed and body-positive practitioner.

I feel passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults seeking a safe space for their therapeutic journey. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, specifically sexual trauma and childhood abuse/assault. I have experience working with people who are neurodivergent, in the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC clients, depression, anxiety, and child and adolescent concerns. I have interests in working with people in the kink and BDSM communities, as well as an interest in working with children and adolescents with parents/caregivers in polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous relationships.

I work primarily with adults, adolescents, and teens. My specialty is individuals and families affected by mood disorders (bipolar & depression) and associated trauma. I work also with individuals and their family affected by schizophrenia, trauma, anxiety, sexual abuse & assault, dissociative disorders, psychosis, and autism (ASD). Counseling with individuals is collaborative. Your identified issues and goals inform our treatment plan. In therapy we will look at your relationships since the complexity and intensity of many of our challenges are revealed and rooted in relationship.

Today's world is often extremely hard to navigate. It makes sense if you are just trying to survive and live, especially when stressors--expected or unexpected--or trauma enter into the story, leaving chaos in their wake to sort through and heal from. For this reason, creating and sustaining a safe and trusting therapy environment is most important to me when working with you. I am able to do this through a client centered approach that reflects and embraces honoring where you are in your journey.

I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT, and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

I am a fully Licensed Mental Health Counselor and therapist. I provide counseling and life enrichment services for adults and groups. My office is a safe atmosphere welcoming diversity in culture, in sexual orientation, religion, and other factors of difference. Our lives can be wonderful, tragic, amazing, challenging and even overwhelming as we go on many journeys and walk on many paths. Difficulties like depression, anxiety, addictions, and trauma can add blocks and pit falls on our life paths. I would like to help you figure out how to make the journey with balance and empowerment.

People look at you and think you have it all put together, but inside you are falling apart. Feeling like food or your appearance is the only thing you can control in your life is frightening, especially when you start feeling like you're not even really in control of that. The loneliness that can come with that is devastating. You're anxious, uncomfortable, lonely, and miserable. You're feeling out of control with food: bingeing, purging, restricting, counting, weighing.... It's maddening. You're ashamed and afraid of what anyone might think if they found out. You put on the mask and pretend you're fine.

My name is Dylan Quiggle, and I appreciate your presence here. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate based in Seattle, Washington, my passion lies in working with young adults, teens, children, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I bring a unique blend of cognitive psychotherapy and somatic therapy to my practice, integrating various therapeutic modalities to provide comprehensive and personalized care.

My name is Winter (they/them). I am a master’s level intern, and I will graduate in August 2024 with a degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I identify as Queer (transgender, nonbinary, graysexual, bisexual, and polyamorous), fat, white, neurodivergent, and chronically ill and disabled. I am excited to work with members of all ages of the LGBTQ community, especially transgender clients, as well as those who have experienced complex trauma or medical trauma, and those navigating life with disability and/or chronic illness.

If you are interested in getting your relationship back on track, contact me. I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with a variety of issues including addiction, infidelity, communication, intimacy, depression and anxiety problems. Many of my clients are medical professionals, and executives where privacy is an utmost concern although my practice is not limited to any specific profession.

Therapy is a messy, beautiful adventure of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My greatest desire is to empower you to use life’s challenges to discover your inner strength, wisdom, and sense of purpose. I am passionate about working with people seeking transformative growth and meaning in life. I specialize in supporting adults healing through trauma (esp. childhood/complex trauma); grief; life transitions (e.g. midlife crisis, end of life); and topics related to spirituality such as psychedelic integration, spiritual emergency/awakening, and near-death experiences.

I am client centered in my approach. I work with individuals, late adolescents, and families. The foundation of our work will be that of mutual respect and clear expectations. I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative process and believe the role of a therapist can be likened to that of a "coach," one who challenges old ineffective behaviors and beliefs. I provide a confidential and supportive environment for you to share your concerns, and goals. Through dialogue and deep listening, new choices and next steps will be brought to light.

We each have different values and experiences in our lives, that can shape the people we become and the quality of living we experience. In times of struggle, we may feel lost and lonely as we attempt to live more authentically and with greater joy. Together, we can explore and deepen your own understanding and relationship you have with yourself and others to better navigate through and experience a balanced and healthy living. My goal is to provide a safe and secure environment to support personal growth, deepen insight, increase perspective and give space for self-compassion and acceptance.

Feeling better about yourself, your life and others around you are all big steps toward getting healthier. Helping patients get past life-disrupting issues and get back on track to living happier, more fulfilling lives.

We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions. For many this leads to experiencing a variety of symptoms. Life can also throw us some big curveballs that feel impossible to adjust to. I believe with assistance anyone can process the past, heal, build coping skills and cultivate a mindset that is needed to create a life that is enjoyable. I utilize DBT and EMDR to aid you in your journey.

**Openings Tuesday-Friday** Hi, I’m Rachel Bodman. I had to fight everything in me to not put an exclamation mark after my name. Ironically, what I want most for you is to stop fighting everything within yourself. If you’re interested in the sound of that, please, read on!

I enjoy working with individuals who have experienced scary or stressful childhood experiences and would like a safe space to process those experiences. Sometimes those experiences turn into mood disorders, PTSD, anxiety, or failure to thrive in relationships. I am interested in helping guide you to working through these struggles and finding peace in your life. I also enjoy working with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships and would like a new direction with their partner.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

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.
