Female Therapists in Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA

Accepting new clients! Do you feel on edge all the time? Is focusing on one task nearly impossible due to all the worries and negative thoughts that won’t leave you alone? Maybe “just get through today” is stuck on repeat in your head. Maybe you feel lost and confused about who you are and what you’re doing with your life. These experiences can feel hopeless. Together, we will navigate the circumstances and contexts that drain us, fill us with anxiety and dread, and strip us of our health and well-being. We will explore ways to feel liberated and more expansive without the weight of what you cannot control weighing you down.

Do you feel like you're maintaining or surviving, rather than thriving? Maybe you're not sure what the next step is, but you know you want to feel less stress, anxiety, and fear and more peace, joy, and confidence. I believe that many distressing feelings are often responses to a world that tries to tell us who we are and who we should be, through inherited belief systems, culture, relationships, experiences of trauma, and systems of oppression. I love working w/ people to reveal what those stories are, the meanings you've held in them, and how to discover and make space for the self inside you that felt small, boxed in, or stuck.

Hello, I'm Emily, and I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional lives. Are you struggling with intense emotions, unstable relationships, or a pervasive sense of emptiness? Are you tired of talking to people who focus on the wrong thing or just don't get it? Do you want to feel better but just don't know how? My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, understand your experiences, and build a more stable and fulfilling life. Therapy is a journey, and I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

We all encounter situations that feel overwhelming and test our coping abilities. I see therapy as a collaborative process that will help you navigate the challenges and transitions that life presents. I offer a safe, supportive environment to talk about issues that can be difficult to discuss elsewhere. Together we will explore how certain thoughts, behavior patterns, and past experiences might be contributing to your difficulties. We will identify your strengths and figure out effective coping strategies to create positive changes in your life. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples.

I work collaboratively with you to identify stories or obstacles posing problems in your life so you can move through them. Whether you are a teen, an adult, a couple, or a family system, I utilize an integrative approach that is holistic and strength-based, supporting you in making peace with the past & the present, in order to live in a healthy balance of mind, body, & spirit. I work from a multicultural & justice-oriented context; am LGQBT+ friendly, & support you in your individual belief system, exploring the way dominant narratives have impacted you. I have experience working with complex trauma & grief.

All around us the world has been shifting. Maybe at one point it all made sense: your feelings, sensations, and reactions (even the dark and heightened ones) felt known and even comforting. But now you are looking for a new way to be and a different understanding – a path forward and a way to endure your struggle. If you are someone who believes that each of us know our own wounds, that we possess a strong inner wisdom, and that we have the ability to access the latent potential to grow and change – or, you want to believe – you will find a good fit with me and my therapeutic offerings.

Life is wild, being a person is hard and everyone deserves support. I am a Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals (18+), couples and polyamorous partners. As a writer and former journalist, I am compassionate, nonjudgemental and curious. I see beauty and humor in the hard and I believe our struggles can help us find meaning, build connections and foster growth.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma, and multiple mental health diagnoses? I assist clients in healing from trauma, helping youth, adolescents, and adults cope with life stressors, and low self-esteem. I also assist individuals in identifying their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, establishing goals, empowering individuals to believe in themselves by offering compassion and support to clients in learning different coping skills to overcome life's stressors.

My aim is to help folks get to the bottom of their concerns, and to support them in making meaningful changes in their lives. Sometimes we have the sense that something is not quite right, even if we cannot pinpoint what exactly it is. Other times we may want to get out of our heads and feel more present. Whatever your concern, I am here to support you in discerning what it is that’s in the way from allowing you to live the life you want to live. Together, you and I will work to identify and unpack your lived experiences and the values that inform where it is you want to go.

Never been to therapy before and nervous about trying it out? Treat yourself to a life of wellness and path to a peace of mind. Don’t allow peers or people in your community to deter your growth or ability to focus on insecurities. You deserve to be on top in everything you do and in control of how you feel without doubt or lingering insecurities. The good news is, you’re in good company to discuss your feelings and work on things you’ve been putting off! You deserve to live a life of mental and emotional freedom!

I provide psychotherapy to individuals and families to promote growth and empowerment through supportive listening, mindfulness, and examination of past experiences, allowing clients to cultivate insight and bring about lasting change. I use a collaborative and dynamic approach that incorporates multiple theoretical approaches and techniques to meet both individual and family needs and preferences. I believe that insight alone does not bring about change; rather, we must do something different to become something different. I offer compassion, humor, honesty, and straightforward feedback while I empower individuals and families to explore their own goals and work toward growth and healing.

Clients who feel at home in my practice are seekers, empaths, gifted & successful types ready & willing to create lasting radical change. You crave meaning, fulfillment, integrated awareness & true intimacy with Self. You consistently move towards regulation & safety in relational frameworks through Conscious connection. You value holistic & traditional psychologies. You embody your light & shadow aspects. You believe the science of change, organization & healing requires repair on ALL layers & multiple psycho-spiritual methodologies. Women, Men & Couples struggling, stuck or lost, internally or in relationship, are core clients.

As human beings, we frequently subject ourselves to harsh self-judgment. While self-criticism has its merits on occasion, it often engenders emotional turmoil. Research into self-compassion has unveiled its extraordinary ability to diminish anxiety, depression, and stress while elevating motivation, confidence, and overall performance. Yet, the practical application of self-compassion is often more challenging than mere words suggest.

I enjoy helping clients move through stuck points in their lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, career dissatisfaction, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or other life transitions, I can help you identify what is holding you back and create an action plan to help you build the kind of life you want and deserve. Working collaboratively, I will help you enhance your self-awareness, pinpoint unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, build skills necessary to handle life more effectively, and develop values-guided actions to reach your goals. Difficulties don't have to stop you.

My approach is based on the idea that current difficulties are rooted in unresolved feelings, thoughts, conflict or coping styles from the past. I help people understand the patterns in their lives and connections to the past so that they can live more effectively in the present.
