Therapists in Ravenna, Seattle, WA

If you're a female professional who seems fine on the outside, but is struggling beneath the surface, you are not alone. I work with women who despite their success and carefully curated self-care routines, are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to live up to the version of themselves everyone else sees. Using a gentle, encouraging approach, I offer a supportive space where you can begin to establish healthy boundaries, tame your people-pleasing tendencies, reframe negative thought patterns, and come to see your value in a new light.

I believe that every person has the right to be treated with individual care. Because we are all unique, what works for one person may not work for the next. I like to approach helping you with a fresh lens every time, getting to know you, and finding which therapeutic approach to best help your situation. Building a relationship of trust and openness is the most important part to therapy, as well as creating an atmosphere where you feel safe and secure in your journey. Maybe you’ve done this before, and maybe this is your first time in therapy; I want to find what works best for you.

People often come to therapy because they just don’t feel good. Maybe they’ve suffered a traumatic or life changing event, or maybe they’ve just always felt that something isn’t right and they’d like to figure out how to feel better. Therapy can be a powerful tool to address these concerns and improve your life. Life can be rich and wonderful, but it can also be challenging and downright painful. Sometimes we need someone to really listen and understand. I am a queer psychotherapist practicing in Seattle. I offer patient, deeply engaged listening and a non-judgmental perspective, my approach is gentle and supportive.

Currently only accepting couples! My passion is helping folks from queer, trans, and BIPOC communities find empowerment, freedom, joy, and connection in the face of systemic oppression. I believe that our culture disconnects us from ourselves and from each other, and focus on helping clients reconnect. I love helping others tune into the wisdom of our bodies and emotions, and use these as a compass through difficult times. I emphasize self-acceptance and self-compassion, as well as community building. I use a warm, supportive, relational approach to help you find connection, direction, and joy in life. See my website for details.

I'm passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and trauma survivors with an approach rooted in the sincere belief that you are the expert on your own life. I use both somatic and cognitive therapies, to assist you in connecting with why and how you react to the world around you.

Hi! I'm passionate about helping you find relief from trauma. A trauma history may mean you have PTSD or C-PTSD but it can also show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, struggles with attachment and trust, emotional difficulties, chronic shame, and more. I believe in collaborating with you to provide trusted and knowledgeable care that will help to give you a sense of direction in your trauma recovery with your unique experiences and goals.

I help people learn transformative skills of self-compassion, develop a deep sense of self-worth, explore how intersecting social identities have shaped them, identify core values, and show up authentically in their lives. I listen empathically, offer feedback and new perspectives, and challenge you to reconsider old decisions. Together, we focus on your strengths and the adaptive ways you have coped with difficulty. We connect the dots of your story, identify the roots of your current concerns, practice new skills in the here-and-now, increase your understanding of your mind and body, and integrate painful past experiences.

My desire to support others and a lifelong passion for sports are the core reasons why I entered the fields of clinical and sport psychology. I believe in collaborative care - you drive the bus and I am a passenger providing support along the way. I utilize a relational approach, bringing a genuine sense of self in supporting clients openly and authentically. I am practical and integrative, make room for trial and error, and strive to help clients build skills that work for their needs. My goal is to understand your experience, learn your needs, and provide a supportive space for growth and change.

I became a therapist to help people suffer less and grow more. I have 15 years of experience in private practice, a mental health jail, a high-needs public clinic and in people's homes. I have led therapy groups focusing on childhood trauma, men's groups, feeling safe in love, attachment, codependence and spirituality. For my work, I was awarded Employee of the Year for LA County's Department of Mental Health. I supervise developing therapists and provide trainings on best clinical practices through public speaking and professional development.

I am a therapist in north Seattle. I specialize in adults with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship problems. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I help people who have unstable emotions, relationships, and are frequently in crisis. I teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. I offer DBT groups. I also work with couples, specifically neurodiverse couples where at least one person is ADHD or on the autism spectrum. For couples, I use a combination of DBT, attachment theory, Gottman, and when applicable Neurodiverse Relationship interventions.

There are many reasons why someone starts to look for a therapist. In addition to alleviating the symptoms of uncomfortable emotions and pain, there is a great opportunity for healing and personal growth. I specialize in helping my clients to regain confidence in their ability to manage overwhelming emotions and to work through personal, family, and career challenges. My clinical area of expertise is treating anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders.

I like to work with people who are ready to get freedom from their suffering. The suffering can be coming from old traumas that are getting acted out in one's current life, or from situations that are occurring in the here and now. I want to help people who feel stuck and want to gain insight and tools to deal with the stress in their lives.

I assist clients in processing through feelings and symptoms related to traumas or negative experiences that impact your life today. I believe that every individual possesses the ability to make positive changes in their lives and I would like to be a part of that journey with you. It takes strength and courage to face your problems and together we can take on this challenge. The treatment I provide is individualized to the person or couple I am working with. Because change is constant, we each go through phases of challenges and peace, and my attention will be on supporting you and/or your family in this process.

I'm passionate about supporting late teens and young adults (ages 16-35) who are processing where they come from, what they inadvertently picked up along the way, and what they want to intentionally set down or take with them. Some people call this deconstruction and reconstruction. It may involve processing relationship patterns, building self-compassion, grieving a loss, learning to set different boundaries, or re-examining a faith you once took for granted. I also have experience working with teens and young adults diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes to cope with a new diagnosis or move through feelings of burnout.

I believe in the importance of helping individuals seeking to show up authentically in all parts of their lives. Through compassion, non-judgmental guidance, and by challenging patterns where you find yourself stuck, we are able to promote personal growth and change. I work with individuals and couples to better understand their boundaries and how to strengthen their ability to communicate them. My approach to counseling is informed by CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and EMDR. EMDR therapy is an effective therapy method that supports healing from trauma, ingrained negative core beliefs, and other distressing life experiences.

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!
