Family Therapy in Fremont, Seattle, WA

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years. My passion is to work with individuals, couples, and groups who are committed to growth and change. I want to empower people to be more connected and integrated with the core of who they are and the roles they are living. I work with a combination of somatic approaches that examine how the body holds our thoughts, beliefs, stressors, and anxieties and how to understand, relieve, and shift them.

I think life can be compared to a Hero’s Journey. While we may not have the same linear storyline with visible obstacles and hard earned victories, we are on a journey nonetheless. Therapy can help us explore the uncharted domains of our psyche, our overwhelming fears, our surprising heroic capabilities, and our joy. I use an integration of many therapeutic modalities in order to explore this including relational psychodynamic therapy, somatic/body psychotherapy, and attachment based therapy creating a more experiential and formative experience overall.

What’s up! My name is Jon Davis, and I specialize in working with high school/college students & young adults. I work best with people who are looking to develop ways of breaking negative patterns & find ways to cope in the present day. It’s really easy to get stuck within a loop, or have things change around you and what was working isn’t anymore. I like to work with people around breaking the cycle, and finding effective actions to adapt to the present day. My areas of focus are stress & anxiety management, breaking the depression/burnout cycle, distress tolerance, and finding ways to keep swimming through a chaotic era.

Does it feel like something just isn't quite right in your life? Like you are working so hard to maintain a "normal" life and you are burning out? I specialize in trauma and issues core to identity, specifically those who are deconstructing or reconstructing aspects of their sexuality, spirituality, gender, or ethnicity. I am certified in EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) and practice from a client-centered, insight-oriented, psychodynamic approach with adults and adolescents. I am relationally focused and utilize a strengths-based lens to empower, increase resilience, and promote positive well-being.

Emotional pain, fear, and problems in life can propel someone into therapy. Distress can feel deep-rooted, and in actuality, often does reflect early, 'ancient' issues. I believe that also in our deepest roots, we may tap into powers of resilience and of amazing, unique selfhood that nourish us in development toward our human potentialities. In courageous exploration of, and work through life's challenges, we can find, and bring to light, marvelous, hard-won gifts of self-actualization, and well-being.

I am a leader in somatic, body-mind psychotherapy and the expressive arts, including dance/movement therapy. Together, we co-create a space that values respect, honest connection, and communal support with a focus on your nervous system's response to stress. Relationships and our capacity to live in alignment with our core values are a top priority. My approach is always humanistic including multicultural, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I counsel while being a whole person myself, part of the holistic path of recovery that you might be seeking.

Deciding to see a therapist is a big decision, my goal is to make sure that it is a worthwhile one. I hope my straightforward approach will help guide you to self-empowerment, radical acceptance & building relationships. We will laugh and often, we'll cry. But either way... You won't walk this journey of self-discovery alone. Even the strongest of us need support in forcing our inner critic to be silenced. Our goal will be to get you to a place where you can put on your dancing shoes and have the skills to help you conquer life.

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

I believe therapy begins within a genuine connection where your unique story can truly be heard and validated. My role as a therapist is to provide space and support with attunement, compassion, and sensitivity to your specific needs. I believe that change occurs within the context of a trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship in which you feel safe to speak freely about the challenges you are facing.

I am a Licensed Social Worker and Social Work Clinical Associate. I have my Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology , which I obtained at Neumann University in Aston, Pa. I aquired my Masters of Social Work at Widener University in Chester ,Pa. I have experience working in a hospital setting dealing with issues from homelessness to safely discharging clients . I also have experience working in the Military Social Work setting where I helped clients with issues related to substance use and co-morbid diagnosis.

I am a psychologist specializing in OCD, PANS/PANDAS, anxiety, FNSD/conversion disorder, hoarding, panic attacks, school avoidance, skin-picking, and hair-pulling. I work with individuals ages 8-26. I take an individualized approach to treatment with a foundation of evidence-based strategies. I work with individuals and families to help manage symptoms in their normal, day-to-day life. Teletherapy gives me the opportunity to practice skills with you or your child at home or other environments anxiety impacts the most. I often conduct "exposures," which teaches skills to challenge anxiety in real-life situations.

My work is influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who speak compassionately to a profound and uniquely human dilemma—the quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (of depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) are more than painful indicators of psychopathology.

Are you looking for attuned support to explore your struggles? Do you wish to become mindful of how your life history impacts your present experience? Are you interested in intuitive and spiritual practices, and holistic supports (including food, herbs)? If these questions resonate with you, reach out to me! I offer relationship-focused therapy, drawing from wisdom traditions and holistic approaches.

Currently, I am specializing in relationship issues, self-esteem, and women’s issues. I am skilled in working with anxiety, mood disorders, and complex trauma with all age ranges. My strong suits are empathy and my ability to really understand where someone is coming from, and I use that to develop a positive path forward. Rather than sticking to a particular method, I custom tailor my session to meet the unique needs of each individual. Earlier in my career, I was published in peer-reviewed journals for my research in Clinical Psychology.

With compassionate care and guidance, I am here to support you in overcoming the challenges that have you feeling stuck in life. I work with individuals and couples to improve relationships, mental health and overall life satisfaction. I am also an AASECT certified sex therapist and work with those looking to improve their sexual and intimate well-being. I am passionate about working with Latinos and LGBTQ+ folks, and I offer therapy services in Spanish. I love working with couples and folks dealing with relationship difficulties or ambivalence, and new or struggling parents, or those hoping to become ones soon.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a collaborative process and a unique form of conversation. In this treatment modality we recognize the centrality of relationships in human development and explore constitutive effects that significant relationships have on our mind; how they guide our wishes, fears and conflicts. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy also understands that our level of self-awareness is always limited and that our behaviors, choices, interests, and conscious beliefs are influenced by internal and external forces that we may not be fully aware of.

Pain is the best teacher, but often it can be difficult to understand what emotional pain is trying to speak. It may be trying to get your attention through an unwanted behavior, an unbearable feeling, or an unbreakable thought pattern. It may show itself in repeated relational dysfunction, addiction, or disturbances in mood or sleep. I find I work well with people who are exhausted from trying to manage or control emotional pain, and are ready to face it holistically and head-on. I also help people suffering from complicated and acute psychological problems which have not responded well to other therapy treatments.

I am currently fuIl and I am not accepting new clients. I join with clients in a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative way. We will work together to explore, understand and resolve the challenges related to the counseling goals they have identified. My treatment approach is both creative and flexible. I allow clients to direct each session with validating and encouraging support from me throughout the process. While using various treatment models such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to cater to the needs of each client, I compliment each model with a strengths-based approach.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing distress & are seeking a place to feel seen & supported. I am a Certified Sex Therapist, offer relationship counseling, & often work with folks inside the LGBTQ2SAI+ populations, kinky folks, neurodivergent folks, disabled and chronically ill folks, fat folks, & others who are marginalized due to colonization & systemic oppression. I love working with those who are wanting to examine power & privilege inside of a therapeutic relationship where there is space for connection & healing, and who are interested in a non-pathologizing approach.
