Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Lower Queen Anne, Seattle, WA

At the heart of my counseling practice is my desire to help you live your best life. To become clearer about what is meaningful to you, rather than what others might have told you about yourself along the way. I am committed to working deeply and gently with your life story and issues. We create your treatment plan together, carefully identifying your goals for therapy. I have extensive training to work with trauma, emotional regulation, behavioral issues with children and adolescents,healthier relationships, depression and anxiety, increased self awareness, healing from loss, and spirituality.

Welcome to a space where transformation begins, and the promise of a brighter future awaits. I work with individuals seeking profound change. My ideal client is someone ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Clients who resonate with my approach often seek a therapist grounded in curiosity, compassion, strength, and insight. They are drawn to a methodology influenced by attachment theory, psychoanalytic theory, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and neurobiology.

Welcome! Life is a journey with its highs and lows, and acknowledging your need for therapeutic support is a courageous step. I'm optimistic that, together, we can uncover the most effective ways to address your specific needs. I believe you are the authority on your own life, and my goal is to help you gain a profound understanding of the connection between yourself, your mind/body connection, and your relationships. Active participation and openness are key to successful therapy—a transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I work from a psychodynamic approach, which seeks to understand symptoms rather than just manage them, views most human experiences as containing conflicting thoughts and feelings, and believes that self-honesty is fundamental to growth and healing. In practice, clients generally choose where to begin a psychodynamic session and move freely from there.

Do you feel stuck? Anxious? Tired of replaying the past and worrying about your future? Living with OCD and anxiety can be exhausting and isolating, so I want to commend you for taking this step to find a trusted therapist to walk with you on this journey. In my work with clients, strive to work collaboratively – you are the expert on you, and I see my job as using my experience and training to guide you toward living authentically and joyfully. Let's get started!

Our clients are high achieving millennials, identity-developing gen-zers, people in transition, and people who think deeply about themselves and their growth. Our clients are asking: Why do my emotions feel so out of hand? How do I understand my relational patterns? How is my experience of trauma showing up in my every day life? Do I have ADHD? Do I have bipolar? Am I on the right medication? Should I take a break from work? How do I manage difficult relationships?

I specialize in grief and loss; LGBTQ+ issues; depression and anxiety; and trauma processing. I approach therapy from a place of curiosity, humor, and collaboration. It can be difficult to go through challenges alone and sometimes we need an outside perspective to challenge the unhelpful and negative narratives we have constructed for ourselves during those challenging times. I am here to help uncover and create a narrative that reflects your strengths and intrinsic identity.

To know and to be known authentically is a human desire, but there are times that we are misunderstood, not cared for properly, and plain old hurt in the process of trying to be vulnerable. In the most painful times we blow up or shut down emotionally. My work with adult men is geared towards understanding the stories in your past and present so that you can feel more like yourself in your career, friendships, and relationships.

For the last 10 years, I've been working with people who are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with clients who are looking for a supportive space for self-reflection and growth, with the goal of building relationship skills and coping strategies that can help them move through life in a more skillful way. I love working with people, and I use a warm and compassionate approach, not without direct and honest feedback, candor and humor. I'm often described as kind, spacious, and encouraging, providing a comfortable space for therapy.

I am a clinician focused on both deep emotions and practical coping. My therapy style is to collaborate with Clients to find out what works for you the best. It usually arises naturally from our body as body is the container for whatever we've been through. I believe psychotherapy can foster our personal growth and empower us to reclaim our capability to nurture and take care ourselves. I am specialized to work on perfectionism, professionalism, depression, anxiety, panic attack, trauma, stress, autistic spectrum, emotional regulation, relationship, family of origin, and cultural/racial issues.

Hi - my name is Sabrina! I am a psychodynamic trauma therapist. I specialize in working with adults around topics of trauma/abuse, relationships and attachment in the greater Seattle area. I believe therapy is a place where the difficult questions can be explored, healing can begin, and integration can be accomplished. Life brings all that is unexpected, confusing and extreme. Our experiences often leave us disintegrated and in need of outside help. My work’s focus is to create a space where individuals can explore the why’s and the questions of their story so that they may live a more flourishing and integrated life.

Have you found yourself feeling worried, struggling with your confidence or having a hard time managing your mood? All of these feelings can lead to feeling stuck but I can help! During each session with my clients, I work to inspire and encourage self-awareness, self-confidence and empowerment. Every person has strengths, and my goal is to find practical strategies to reduce stress to help your strengths shine. I am accepting new clients for in-person or virtual appointments! Virtual appointments are offered to anyone in WA. In-person appointments are at my office in Lower Queen Anne, Seattle.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

My ideal client seeks understanding and growth, and may be grappling with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or identity exploration. If you're seeking a non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and emotions, aiming for self-awareness, healing, and effective coping, we may be a good fit for therapy. Motivated by a desire to help my clients live authentically and thrive, I value therapy as a path to personal transformation, seeking to help clients find clarity, resilience, and a fulfilling life aligned with their values and aspirations.

As an organization we recognize that QTBIPoC folx tend to experience disproportionate amounts of mental health disparities due to large gaps in our current mental healthcare system. Here at MEND we believe that part of addressing those gaps is through the consistency of our intersectional feminist lens. In an effort to promote equity, we are expanding our team and client population to include members who hold identities that have not traditionally been offered at MEND. And while we center supporting QTBIPoC folx, we also offer services to those who do not hold these identities.

Navigating Relationships can be a difficult process that requires guidance and support. When our relationships are struggling and we are feeling let down by our partner or friends, it can take a toll on our mental health. It is my desire as your therapist to offer guidance and support to help you find ways to help your relationships grow and become more fulfilling. It is my passion to help and empower others to extend the same love and empathy they would towards others onto themselves. We all need reminders that our needs are just as important as others, and it is my goal to support you in that practice.

I work with individuals, couples, and families (Telehealth and In-Person) who are experiencing some stress or anxiety in their lives and have decided to attend therapy to address and resolve those issues. Clients will develop tools and strategies to navigate life and thrive in a more healthy way. Some clients prefer assignments between sessions, some prefer psycho-education, and others still prefer therapy focused on emotion. I work with clients to determine how they want to work in therapy, and in turn, clients feel agency over the change they create in their lives. I believe this change best occurs in a safe, trusting environment.
