Art Therapy in Seattle, WA

I have been a child and family therapist since 2009, and volunteered in the field of grief and loss for 14 years, working with grieving children (ages 3 to 18) who lost a loved one. I'm client-centered and strengths-based, and believe my job is to try to understand how my client's brain works, to best assist each individual understand her/ himself. I have learned from the last 9 years working with a wide variety of amazing individuals that I must be very creative and flexible. I'm grateful for how much I have and continue to learn from my clients.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults in both individual and family therapy. I work well with clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, those facing life transitions or grief and loss. I have recently published an eBook on anxiety for teens, But Breathing Doesn't Help! Unlocking Teen Anxiety by Understanding Your Body, which can be found on Amazon, or for direct purchase at https://wendynystrom.selz.com/

Everyone experiences anxiety, depression, and loss at sometime in their life. Often events and people happen in our lives that cause distress. No one deserves to be in pain and no one should have to endure when there is the possibility to reduce the pain. My goal is to help my clients find relief through self exploration and a desire to want to feel better. My job is to walk with my clients in their path to mindfulness. My goal is to provide a safe space for emotions to be expressed and validated without judgment. Together we will identify patterns and triggers, and create skills to reduce future emotional distress.

I believe that every individual possesses their own unique strengths and knowledge that can be leveraged to overcome challenges and navigate life transitions. I take an integrative, trauma informed mindfulness-based approach, to empower you to be your own change agent for creating sustainable optimum emotional and spiritual well-being.

I’m a queer, mixed-race (SE Asian & Hispanic), neurodiverse, nonbinary expressive art and sex therapist passionate about helping clients find deeper understanding and healing through authentic connection, creativity, curiosity, and conversation. My holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to sex therapy is influenced by my belief that our bodies are guides to understanding/healing our behaviors, thoughts, patterns, and narratives that create potential barriers to the growth and change we want in our lives. Im passionate about working with clients curious about exploring non-monogamy/polyamory, gender/sexuality, and intimacy concerns.

I am passionate about guiding people on their transformative journeys of self-discovery and healing. With boundless empathy and flair for creativity, I believe in the power of expression as a pathway to profound insights and personal growth. In my inclusive space, honoring diversity and fostering a sense of acceptance is key. Let's shed the layers of your past and embark on reparenting, igniting the spark within you to radiate authenticity and strength. Whether you seek to unravel the depths of your emotions, release past traumas, or simply reconnect with your inner muse, I'm here to walk with you, sculpting joy and authenticity.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who might be struggling to make sense of the complicated world that we live in. Despite our connectivity, it seems that we live in a time in which individuals and families are more isolated than ever before. I truly believe that we all need and desire a village — a network of support and care to help us when needed. It is my aim to be that extra form of support. I am here to help individuals and families navigate the more difficult hurdles and to find ways to work towards creating more peaceful, authentic, and connected lives.

I work with adults primarily on issues related to trauma. Trauma often involves lack of control over a situation, so as part of the work, I help my clients regain their sense of power and choice in our sessions. Safety, non-judgement, and kindness are valued in my practice as the foundations of the therapeutic work, and I encourage open communication about the client’s experience with therapy. I offer a flexible approach to counseling because I believe that what works for some of my clients may not work for others, and we learn what that looks like as we work together.

With genuine positive regard and a creative approach, my practice is committed to fostering awareness, healing and empowerment. The therapeutic relationship ultimately deepens the relationship with oneself and how we navigate challenges in the art of living. I facilitate with getting to the heart of the matter, gleaning meaningful insight, and building upon internal and external strengths. I have worked professionally for over 20 years, supporting a diverse population of hundreds of adults, youth, children, couples and families through and beyond, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions and relationship difficulties.

As a mom you believe you can just do it all & once you get through the next big busy day you'll finally catch your breath. Except, those days never come. Trying to support your kid's emotional demands has you coming in last. As far as what others’ see, you’ve got it all together, you're living a happy & fulfilled life. You’re accomplished, hardworking, reliable & appear to be somehow rocking out the illusive life balance. But inside, you feel stuck, overwhelmed & like you’re just going through the motions. You never feel present in the moment & the overbearing voice in your head is quick to let you know you’ll never be good enough.

My name is Nicole, and I am a bilingual clinical social worker fluent in Spanish and English. I am a queer, Swedish-German American, cis-gender woman with chronic illness and an artist’s eye. All of this shapes who I am and how I enter my practice as a trauma therapist, artist, advocate and author. My passion and experience are in trauma healing, and specifically working with those who are survivors of religious trauma, immigration injustice, female disempowerment, chronic health conditions, and the cumulative traumatic stress that can come from navigating this world as queer and/or trans.

I believe the beauty in each of us is contained in both light and shadow, and strive to hold compassionate loving-kindness for all aspects of the paradoxical nature of being human. Together we will explore existing strengths, while encouraging growth, and holistic wellness. I am currently providing tele-mental health only, which means we will meet via a HIPAA compliant teleconferencing platform. Tele-mental health has benefits and draw backs; please visit my website, or contact me, for questions and additional information. www.spiracounseling.com

Whether you are getting to know yourself better or are seeking support while navigating life’s challenges, I would love to come alongside your journey to offer a compassionate and empowering space to process and grow in. I enjoy working with people who may be members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent folks, and people with systemic or religious trauma. However, you don’t need to belong to these particular communities to work with me, I hope to see clients thrive in exactly who they are.
