Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Seattle, WA

Life is full of challenges. Every day can bring obstacles to face. Add in dealing with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, adjustment disorders, or grief, and life may feel unmanageable. I have worked with children, teens and adults in inpatient crisis stabilization and outpatient settings. I have experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have experience in behavior, peer issues, self-harm, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and conduct disorders.

You're LGBTQIA+, large-bodied, or managing chronic illness and enduring depression, anxiety, or PTSD. You're a therapist dealing with burnout or mental/physical illness. Intersecting identities, oppression, and health issues are complex. You can't waste precious energy on an ignorant therapist or risk prejudice. Therapists are likely feeling stretched or burned out under converging life and work stressors. Others assume we have it handled and we feel we should too. This resonates? As your new therapist, I GOT you! These specialties align with my identity OR life experiences; I am a cis female. Let's hit the ground running!

My approach to therapy is client centered utilizing evidence based therapies and customizing treatment to the client. I specialize in couples and individual treatment.

Life can be complicated and stressful at times and change can include triggers making the journey complicated. During these times it is human to reach out for empathy, support, and safety. My therapy approach is guided by the needs of each individual I work with. We will collaboratively create affirming, safe space to share and address your needs and concerns, explore potential solutions, and honor growth, no matter what stage your are at along your journey to a more fulfilled life. I employ a psychodynamic approach to therapy for healing of trauma and identity exploration. I treat all individuals with dignity and respect.

I invite you to begin working towards a more fulfilling future. I believe that individuals are striving to grow, and that everyone has a unique path toward change. Focusing on providing a warm and non-judgmental environment, I listen with empathy, compassion and patience. I am experienced in addressing the concerns that my clients bring and I offer additional expertise in treatment of depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship challenges and addictions. I have over 17 years of experience in the field working with both youth and adults.

Do you struggle with a life-debilitating issue, family chaos, adjustment issues, or self-esteem? You've come to the right place. Life's hurdles can be easy to overcome with someone by your side and with easy access to care. With Heal to Glow Counseling and Therapy, I empower clients who need the privacy, comfort, and convenience of online services.

I specialize in individual, couples and family therapy. I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression, self worth and how a physical/mental disability may affect your perception of yourself in the world. I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world. I have currently added a unique twist to my practice by offering in-home therapy to new moms, families or anyone that has difficulties with transportation.

I work well with clients who are struggling to thrive in everyday life, who need a path forward and feel stuck. If you've been experiencing depression, anxiety, increased anger, irritability, frustrations with relationships, a depleted sense of self, or a whole host of problems, then we might be a great fit. Some folks I work with don't want to live anymore or experience strong urges to harm themselves. When working with folks who experience any of these symptoms, my goal is to help you identify and work toward living a life you find joyful and meaningful.

I approach people with an open, genuine, and transparent posture, which hopefully helps others feel welcome to be themselves. My clients have described me as warm, gentle, inviting, and relatable. I work with adults, adolescents, and their families—individually and as parts of a whole. I welcome individuals and families of all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. As someone who aligns with narrative therapy, I understand that everyone’s unique experiences may have influenced how they interact with the world, and my hope is that together—we can help you create and support preferred ways of living.

Hi there! My name is Tyah Young (she/her) and I am a licensed mental health counselor associate. I am a queer identified, anti-racist, therapist of color who is committed to increasing access to mental health therapy particularly for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am passionate about working alongside individuals in the therapeutic process and empowering them to take steps towards healing. I consider every individual to be the expert of their story, and I endeavor to partner with my clients to get an understanding of their needs within the context of their lived experience. I hope to help you feel seen, heard, and validated.

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in practice since 2002. I am a Linehan Board Dialectical Behavior Therapy certified clinician. I have extensive training in treatments for trauma including Prolonged Exposure and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, hospital based care and in-home family therapy. I serve children 12 and up, teens, families, parents and adults. I treat a variety of diagnoses including Depression and other Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, ADHD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

I work with individuals aged 13 to 65 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, psychosis, personality disorders, chronic health conditions, grief and loss, and suicidality. I seek to help people who are dealing with these issues create a place of peace and safety within themselves so that they might learn to love life and endure loss.

Many of our wounds may have been formed in the absence of a witness or lack of connection. You may be struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, low self-worth, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Often, these wounds are formed in the absence of validation and support, or a lack of connection. Because wounds are often started in relationships, it makes sense for healing to happen in a relational way. I believe in the transformational and impactful work that happens within relationships both in and outside of the therapy space.

I offer services for: Individuals, ages 18+, as well as those with court mandated treatment I do not offer: Crisis Coverage or Case Management Services

I primarily serve teens and young adults from the greater LGBTQIA+ population. I bring in a mix of professional, educational, and personal experiences into my work to help people from this community find their voice, confidence, and individual life path. I've also been able to use similar skills to help out people from a wider array of backgrounds. I have often helped motivated individuals meet their goals through collaborative effort.

I love working with children, teens, and young adults (ages 5-25) going through all stages of development. Growing up is hard, and it’s normal to need help along the way. I have extensive training and experience partnering with families to treat children struggling with traumatic experiences, emotional distress, relationships, anxiety, depression, or grief and loss. I work with young people and family systems to build skills, understanding, and connections that support healing. I believe that we are stronger together and my goal is to support your family in achieving your goals and fostering positive, fulfilling relationships.

Upcoming openings available. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience in individual and group therapy. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are the expert on your experiences and I assist you with improving and thriving in your life. Culture, learning history, experiences, and values shape everyone and these are important to explore and understand. We will work together to identify your goals and then approach treatment from a strengths-based perspective. Our work will emphasize improving your psychological well-being, increasing resilience, enhancing your quality of life, and decreasing symptoms.
