Whether you are dealing with mental health issues related to trauma, oppression, isolation, relationships, impulsivity, grief, or other life pains; I want to center what matters to you, hold what you have to say with compassion, and help you rediscover a fullness in being alive and in your body.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation with children, teens, and adults. I encourage self-discovery to help you reconnect to your authentic self. In the therapeutic process, I provide psychoeducation and utilize a variety or proven techniques pulling from theories that help you reach your goals. My approach is designed to assist you in living your authentic life. There is nothing to fix, but there is a lot to understand. We all have unique life experiences that impact us as humans; this is part of life, and not a weakness.

What happened? Do you understand your true self? Have you discovered how to live life on life's terms in a meaningful way? These are the central focuses of my practice. While I'm a psychiatrist with extensive clinical experience, I consider myself - first and foremost - a therapist who simply has more tools at his disposal as a physician. I always seek to provide holistic care. That is, I work to see and treat the whole you, not just the constellation of symptoms you have. As such, my approach shuns the conventional practice of overemphasizing diagnostic labels and medications. Life - with you in it - is more complicated than that.

Overwhelmed with racing thoughts, responsibilities, having to deal with other people, or life in general? Exploring how counseling can help is a brave step! Change is an ongoing process that can be challenging and exhausting. I help you navigate this progression while creating a safe and supportive space to explore and create new ways to transform the areas you have trouble with.

Thank you for visiting the referral website and researching this important decision. You have accomplished the difficult first step to creating change in your life. As a therapist I draw from the best evidence based practices to provide a holistic treatment approach for my clients.I work with children, teens and young adults. With all clients I aspire to create therapeutic relationships founded in connection, understanding, acceptance and compassion. I would love to sit down with you, your child or family and listen to whatever struggle you are facing and work collaboratively with you to reach a solution.

Life is hard! Coping with unexpected challenges, parenting, dealing with memories we wish we didn’t have, learning about a new diagnosis or condition, starting a new career or job, all of these things push us out of our comfort zones and we struggle to deal with them. It is totally normal to feel like your world is a bit out of control at times and that you’re not sure what to do or how to do it. People like you reach out to me because they’re tired of their current state of mind, tired of feeling trapped in negative thought loops, and they’ve decided that now is the time for help.

Making the decision to seek therapy is brave. It's my hope that I can make the process of connecting with a therapist as easy as possible. I have a hands on approach in therapy and feel very enthusiastic about meeting you where you're at. I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing infertility, have a history of (or newly discovered) anxiety, navigating life transitions, or experiencing grief and bereavement. Although, there is no bad reason to seek therapy and I love working with a wide variety of concerns. Whatever motivated you to explore therapy, I'm glad that you're here.

UPDATE: We are currently accepting new patients who are open to working with graduate level students under the supervision of Dr. Holcombe for significantly reduced private pay fees of $75.00 per individual session.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in Seattle’s Madison Park neighborhood offering individual, couples and family therapy. I’ve worked as a therapist since 2000 in a variety of settings, including private practice, outpatient clinics, group homes, detention centers and intensive outpatient programs. The foundation of my practice is rooted in building a rapport—based on individual connection, trust and mutual respect—with each of my clients. I use an integrative, biopsychosocial approach to develop an understanding of who you are as whole person.

I HELP INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES NAVIGATE CHALLENGING TIMES : Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious? Are you struggling with family of origin or relationship issues? Do you want to rebuild your new life or perhaps a new career, but don't know where to start or paralyzed by fear? It is imperative to tackle the root causes of your suffering in order for you to move forward. When your regular support system is not enough, it may be time to talk with a professional. As an experienced psychotherapist and coach, I can help you move past self-doubt and fear so that you can be excited about living your life again.

I'm a culturally informed therapist committed to helping people develop new approaches to difficulties so they leave therapy more at peace and connected. In addition to what brings them to therapy, many of the people I work with feel like they don’t quite belong. They worry about other people's judgements. They may believe that they are not as competent as the people around them. Or they question their ability to be a good partner, parent, or friend. Sometimes they just feel lonely. Therapy is a place where we can make sense of all these experiences and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and integrity.

Change is guaranteed. Sometimes we choose it and sometimes it is simply the result of living in this world. I provide support to help you move through it. Maybe you have just experienced a loss or some kind of trauma.....Maybe it happened before and for some reason you are ready to talk about it now.....Maybe you aren't clear about why are you looking for someone at this time but life is nudging you to do something. I specialize in meeting you in that place. I am excited to be in Seattle full time!
