Child Therapists in Redmond, WA

I have enormous respect for the power each individual has in creating positive change in their life and work hard with individuals and couples to accomplish this. Positive change often means learning new skills and strategies that will help you live more successfully and develop more enriching and meaningful relationships. Positive change also means doing something different rather than doing the same thing over and over again hoping you will get better results. Positive change takes place in the present as we face our fears, take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and move towards what we value.

The best outcome for a person who seeks psychological counseling is to reach his or her inner peace. I see myself as a coach or a facilitator to assist my clients reach their goals. I have more than 20 years of experience in treating people with anxiety, depression, work or relationship issues. I subscribe to cognitive-behavioral therapy; but also integrate other methods in counseling. I provide parenting consultation for children's behavioral or academic problems. I have the privilege to work with people from different cultural, sexual and religious backgrounds. My past clients are my primary referral sources.

I am most skilled at working through trauma and helping clients understand why they have the issues they do. I can help you identify the real source of your issues, so you can begin to transform your life.

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.

People can feel trapped in anxiety, depression, grief, traumatic experiences and difficult relationships OR they can explore those problems psychotherapeutically to derive insight into their feelings and behaviors. As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst I can help you manage your emotional pain,understand your feelings and the repetitive nature of your problems and find new ways of dealing with your problems, in order to minimize suffering and achieve your goals.

Some people ask why I became a couples therapist, and my response is: "I was born a therapist." I enjoy the uniqueness of each client and their situation, how they have attempted to solve their problems, and how they are stuck. There are many situations that are similar among clients, but the interplay with each individual and their situation is infinite. Congruency for me is key. Being the person I ask others to be, holding each person with tenderness and creativity while we move toward their goals is transformative in the therapeutic process.

* At present I am only seeing only existing clients, and only via telehealth. I am a positive and approachable mental health professional. I utilize current research and best practices to help you to relieve distress and live a productive, meaningful, and satisfying life. I work with you to determine outcome goals which may include reducing challenging behaviors getting in the way of your success, improving work or school performance, navigating painful transitions, and/or making family time more enjoyable.

Survivors of trauma, abuse, victimization, and people in recovery from cancer are people I am most adept at treating. I offer individual therapy and specialize in trauma recovery, empowering my clients to more satisfying and healthier lives.

Areas of expertise/interest include trauma; anxiety; unipolar, bipolar and post partum depression; unresolved family of origin/relational issues; parenting; grief & loss; and developmental transitions through adolescence into adulthood.

Hello and thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Sean Trudeau, I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. In therapy sessions my aim is to create a working environment geared toward each individual's greatest benefit. Longitudinal research suggests, therapy is most effective when there is a strong connection between client and counselor. Therefore I uphold a safe environment for compassionate and respectful communication. In addition I utilize evidence based strategies to help clients build the specific skills and resilience necessary to overcome their personal challenges.

I am here to help foster and guide your process of self-discovery in an affirming environment. I work with individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, behavior issues, trauma, sexuality, gender exploration, relationships, life transitions and grief. My approach is to help you restore balance to your life, explore difficult emotions in a supportive manner and to learn how to respond to tough things differently. I believe in the healing power we each hold and will help you foster your growth and develop your strengths.

Hola! Starting therapy is a big step, I am glad you’re taking this step with me. As your therapist, I will provide a safe, genuine and inclusive place for you to speak your own narrative. I believe everyone has their own unique experiences worthy of being heard. If you are currently experiencing challenging times, I am here to help you cope, grow and reach your full potential. Together, we can explore what overwhelms, disempowers and makes you feel unsafe. I will encourage you to be curious about yourself, find balance and empower your authentic being.

When we need help, asking can be difficult. It is a courageous step. I believe that we all hold natural capacities for resilience, growth, and healing. As a therapist, I offer a safe, supportive, and compassionate space for self-exploration and repair. My job is to support you along your journey, and I work hard to maintain a program of thoughtful practice because I’m devoted and passionate about this work.

At this time I'm running a wait list. Please email instead of calling. I work primarily with adults at this time due to my daytime availability. If you are tired of spinning your wheels and feeling like you're getting nowhere, we can work together to help you break out of old patterns that keep you feeling exhausted, worried and lonely. Using a holistic mind-body approach and focusing on healthy relationships, we can get you to a place of more peace, fun, and enjoyment in life. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve the changes they want to see in their lives.

Many people seek therapy when they feel disconnected from themselves, their story, their body, or their community. As a therapist, I understand that being human can be complex, challenging, and even messy. However, it can also be beautiful and delightful, especially when on a healing journey. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients connect with their innate ability to heal and grow. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and experiences, and my role is to support and empower them throughout the process.

First things first: Admitting when life is in shambles, you feel like you're floundering, and reaching out for extra support can all be humbling, to say the least. Yet, these are such courageous first steps in learning to care for yourself and those around you. Whether you're an individual or a couple, a first-timer, or a therapy regular, I'm proud of you for just getting here! I look forward to meeting you wherever here is, even (and especially) if it's different from where you want to be. And I would be honored to support you on this journey to becoming more you than you are now in whatever ways I can.

If you are feeling frustrated with past or current relationship that has negative impact you wish to avoid, I invite you to a journey to better understand your perception and how it causes you to behave in a certain way. A journey that will help you realize your full potential and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.

At Larch Counseling, we help hurting adolescents, overwhelmed parents, disconnected couples, and everyone in-between find hope that things can be different in their lives. That life can be lived without a constant feeling of frustration, pain, sadness or being misunderstood. A life that is full of connection and lacks conflict. Once this hope is realized, we work with you to achieve this healthier way of living.
