Sexual Abuse Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

I work with individuals, couples, children and adolescents who are in need of a safe and honest space to process overwhelming life experiences. Perhaps your life has become consumed by anger, loneliness, or feeling stuck. Or, you may simply need a space to reimagine something new and meaningful. While I can provide clinical assessment as we work on your specific goals, our ultimate job together is to listen deeply to what brings you to therapy. My desire is to meet you where you are and help you understand how to find good movement, reconnection, and a more full participation in your life. Your unique needs will shape our direction.

Hello! It's my honor to help you move past complex/attachment trauma and create a life worth living. You may be struggling with feeling emotionally disconnected, shut down, or numb. You may be feeling lonely even in your closest relationships. You may be finding yourself intellectualizing or avoiding emotions and suspect it may be connected to a painful past. I love helping clients overcome and thrive in spite of their past, feel more comfortable in their own skin, expand capacity for a broader emotional experience, and be more connected to self and others in the present and future.

Hello! I’m Dr. Olivia Dorn and I'm a psychologist who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults that have been through traumatic events. If you want to move towards healing, you shouldn't have to do it alone. If you feel like sometimes you are barely holding it together or have lost your self, my goal is to empower you to re-discover a "you" that's worth the fight. Therapy takes courage, and since you're here on this page, you've already started your journey!

I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like their emotions are out of control… they feel like they're on a treadmill, trying so hard but getting nowhere, relationships aren’t what they want them to be, maybe they don’t have enough energy to do things and rest isn’t restful. Or maybe it’s that they're not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

Are you struggling to move on from past trauma? Do you feel alone, confused, or angry? Is this causing anxiety or depression? I want to support you in rebuilding your identity and feeling human again. Often, our past shapes our idea of "normal," and we may not realize this "normal" could be traumatic. With compassion and kindness, in a safe space, we can work through experiences like physical, emotional, or spiritual trauma, and help you understand emotions like anger, anxiety, or apathy.

I know life is complicated and you would not be seeking therapy if you were not in one of those complicated moments in life, whether it be about a relationship with your spouse, your child or simply with yourself. My goal is to help you find a way to navigate those muddy waters and to make life not quite so rocky. I personally have a passion for parents and kids. I have worked in the field of child welfare and adoption and have seen the impact trauma has on the young and the old. I recognize how early childhood trauma impacts an individual throughout their life and impacts all relationships.

I graduated from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2011 and have been working with children, teens, families and adults in a variety of settings ranging from church kids to registered sex offenders in the foster care system. The last three years, I have been in community mental health working with low income children and their families. I utilize PACE in therapy (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) as my primary therapeutic stance and rely heavily on Narrative, Existential, and Relational Psychoanalytic therapies. Through Telos Transformational Therapy, I also provide Ketamine-Assisted psychotherapy.

Life does not happen in a linear fashion but rather we cycle through different experiences that change how we see ourselves, others, and the world. I work with clients who are struggling to overcome trauma or abuse, whether from specific events or more subtle every day micro-aggressions. I work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed or lost in their many life roles or experiencing distress relating to their cultural identity. Clients that I work with are open to bringing their whole selves (mind/body/spirit) into the space, embracing the natural human process to suffer and love, and hope to feel empowered in the change process.

Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing emotional pain or stress, even confusion about a situation or about yourself. Life challenges can pile up and seem overwhelming. Worry can interfere with relationships, work, and sleep. One goal of therapy is to relieve stress and every session should offer greater understanding of issues and relief in some way. Maybe you feel all alone with your concerns—it’s normal to feel that way. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place to be heard, and for you to feel safe with all of your feelings and thoughts, even those that you feel no one else has.

Finding one’s self can be trying and often feels circular and defeating. Many people find themselves feeling as though they are continuing the same patterns to little avail. I believe that most of our behaviors serve a purpose for better, or for worse. By gaining greater understanding into our patterns, we are able to gain flexibility in how we approach life’s trials and tribulations. Through an authentic and warm relationship, I believe individuals can find ways of approaching their difficulties with confidence. Whether situational or organic, I therapeutically address most difficulties you, or someone you care for, may possess.
