Female Therapists in Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA

I work with adults who are struggling with depression, a history of trauma, grief and loss. ​ My approach to therapy is strength-based and client-centered. I believe self-discovery and solutions reside within wisdom and are drawn from your own life experiences. .

Moving through school age to young adulthood consists of a variety of transitions and changes that can be difficult to navigate, as if understanding emotions isn't hard enough. These transitions are crucial for developing a sense of self and understanding one's place in the world. As a clinician, I believe the client is the true expert of their own experience, while I am simply supporting and guiding them towards individualized goals.

Support for depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship struggles with mindfulness. Clear obstacles that obstruct authenticity and peace. We may work through past traumas that shape your experience or address present issues from a solution-focused perspective to develop tools with application to daily life. I work holistically which means I'm interested in you as a whole person, including the physical, emotional, mental, psychosocial, spiritual and other components. Expertise in LGBTQ+ communities and straight clientele. In-person Seattle, virtual anywhere in California and Washington.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

In today’s world it can be hard to connect with others or feel a sense of belonging at home, work, or within the general community. In times of disconnect and loneliness it can be tempting to implement poor boundaries in an attempt to keep people close, look for a sense of control through use of disordered eating, or seek refuge away from others through isolation. Let’s work together to rebuild your self-confidence as we explore your values and what you want in life.

People often come to me when the notice they are hiding their feelings and desires to appease others, or are having a different time trusting and connecting to those close to them. I help people struggling with intimacy, vulnerability, and people-pleasing to find the confidence and self-compassion to lead a more fulfilling life. The stories society and our family tell us about ourselves, and the stories we choose to repeat, have a powerful impact on our self-image. I believe we all have the ability to change our narrative. I am invested in supporting you in making meaning from these narratives; in owning your story.

Currently accepting new clients. Do you find it challenging to show up for yourself? Are you making decisions that aren’t aligned with the way you want to live your life? Do you struggle with boundaries in your relationships? Are there things from your past that are impacting your life now? I’m passionate about helping my clients develop a grounded and secure sense of self so that they can build a meaningful and fulfilling life. The majority of my practice focuses on helping clients’ relationship with themselves and relationships with others. I often work with those who are feeling lost, stuck, depressed, and anxious.

I work alongside my clients, as they bravely take the risks involved in introspection and change. From personal experience, I know how hard this can be, AND, not changing is even more painful. I want to guide you as you explore and overcome the obstacles disrupting your functioning or behavior; I want to support you as you explore feelings of stress, trauma, sadness, confusion, worry, anger… I don’t see you as a diagnosis: I see you as a complex person living a complicated life, experiencing emotional upheavals that prevent you from feeling well, at ease, filled with stress and worry, and leave you unable to enjoy your life.

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.

I enjoy working with people who are motivated to understand their depression, anxiety or unhappiness so that they can experience relief and freedom in their lives. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and your experience in the world, especially in your relationships, so that you can understand yourself better and begin to make the changes you desire. One of my strengths as a therapist of 35 years is that I help people get to the heart of the matter quickly so they can understand the source of their distress and begin to feel better and move forward.

Do you ever feel a wall between yourself and the world? Do you long to feel connected to yourself and others? What we feel and/or have lived through can disconnect us from each other and the world around us. I offer a trauma-informed, creative, and personalized approach to reconnect to yourself and your innate ability to thrive. We can find a sense of ease through creative exploration into how the body and mind carry our past experiences, values, and internalized narratives. I work best with older teens and adults, existentialists, artists, and bookworms.

I am an experienced Seattle psychotherapist with a practice in Madrona counseling couples, individuals, and families. I create a supportive, accepting environment for people to regain hope and create positive, lasting changes in their lives. I believe the key to life-altering therapy is an honest, warm and trusting relationship with your therapist - a place both laughter and tears are welcomed. Most of my clients come to therapy to reduce the suffering in their lives, connect better with the people around them, and cultivate passion and purpose. We work together to develop healthier coping skills and relationships and ultimately more contentment and peace.

Are you in a struggling relationship? Are you and your partner fighting a lot about the same things and nothing seems to get resolved, or are neither of you bringing up important issues? Maybe your partner seems ready to leave the relationship while you want to keep it going. I can support you and your partner towards a healthier relationship by examining and shifting your difficult patterns of interaction towards patterns of connection and increased happiness. I also offer Discernment Counseling for those couples experiencing divorce ambivalence.

Are you struggling with anxiety on the inside while appearing to be successful and productive on the outside? You might have old wounds from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. A lot of women I work with deal with the weight of old emotional baggage and stressors from the very real demands of their current lives. Therapy can help immensely with these things. By the time people seek therapy there may be some unhealthy coping that needs to be addressed as well. Addictions and addictive behaviors will complicate life on top of everything else. Seeking help is the best thing you can do for yourself.

For 22 years I have been helping people solve challenges in life and to find the power and abilities that have been inside them all along. I work with people who face challenges in life as well as those who simply seek ongoing growth and joy in their lives. Let's collaborate to find solutions and to help you develop the skills to improve your quality of life and create lasting change in your relationships with yourself and others. My goal is to create a collaborative relationship with you to help you uncover your authentic self. My style is caring, direct, and often humorous.

Are you living the life you desire? Do you want to find more peace, fun, and intimacy in your personal relationships? Anais Nin once said, "There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This quote underscores my belief that change and growth are available to us all; we simply have to be willing for the process to unfold. You can create the life that you want. I will help you get there.

I am focused on helping adults successfully navigate both new and chronic stressors in their lives. These stressors may be anxiety, grief and loss, traumatic experiences, new diagnoses, ongoing health conditions, caregiver stress, and life transitions. We will all encounter difficulties in our lives and my goal is to help you work through the things you are struggling with. I am able to hold your stories with compassion.

I am a bicoastal therapist specializing in trauma and addiction. With over 25 years of experience in the field, I bring a winding journey of knowledge to my practice from inpatient mental health, residential, school and outpatient clinical settings and substance abuse programs. My approach is holistic, integrative and tailored to the individual. I look at the whole person, not through a lens of pathology but from a place of being in one's environment and how the body, mind and spirit are involved in growth and recovery. I often work well with clients who are not satisfied with standard or traditional talk therapy.
