Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Seattle, WA

Hello my name is Katie and it is nice to meet you. I am currently taking new patients, teens 14 and older, and adults in Oregon and Washington. I have served in the field for 12 years and welcome populations of all demographics, ethnicities and cultures. I have extensive experience in school based settings assisting with issues such as complex trauma, self harm, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, life transitions, divorce, adoption, children in the foster system, parent coaching, and other issues. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve healing and permanent change.

My practice focuses on working with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, adjustment challenges, or communication difficulties. My clients may be struggling with relationship issues, a major life transition, such as divorce or other family changes, or the death of a loved one. Other clients may face the ongoing challenges of living with depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or trauma. My emphasis is on assisting all of my clients to find hope, direction, and a better path forward, using their own inherent strengths. You deserve to feel supported and empowered.

Therapy does not make hard things easy, but it can make confusing things clearer. My hope is to work with my clients towards real change, greater flexibility, and honesty in the context of a compassionate relationship, all of which are necessary for healing and flourishing. I work with individuals who struggle with intense emotions, out of control behaviors, OCD, addiction, trauma, abuse, and suicidal/self-harm behaviors. I also work with religious or spiritual concerns. I work with people who experience conflict within themselves, with other people in their lives, or with their personal and collective histories.

Life presents many challenges, and with busy schedules, people often forget to take care of themselves and attend to their needs. Lacking the necessary support to overcome these challenges can leave individuals feeling lost, depressed, anxious, angry, and stuck. It is important to recognize that everyone is worthy of happiness and deserves to feel fulfilled in their relationships.

You may have heard a saying that depression arises from living in the past, anxiety from living in the future, and the antidote for both is living in the present. Many of us push away the present moment with distractions, automatic behaviors, over-committing, substance use, and screen-time. Other times when we slow down enough to be present, we might not like the person we find ourselves to be - out of alignment with our environment or acting in ways that don’t match our values. However you are trying to get "un-stuck" or find a more authentic self, it helps to have a guide who can help you find footing.

I approach my therapeutic work with an emphasis on relationship-building, playfulness, and respect. Rooted firmly in evidenced-based treatment approaches, my clients and I then collaborate, designing goals and adapting treatment to best fit an individual's needs. I aim to provide trauma-informed care which includes both an understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and body as well as the ongoing trauma of being in a marginalized community. I am committed to providing antiracist and anticolonial, Queer and Trans-affirming, and neurodiverse affirming care.

I specialize in working with shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, & perfectionism behaviors. I also specialize in grief/bereavement, trauma recovery and anxiety management.

Anand, coined in Eastern Philosophies, embodies human happiness or bliss. Our past experiences can act as barriers to this experience. In therapy, a journey of self-discovery, we co-create a space to unwind your narrative and find healing. I invite you to explore a heightened self-awareness to guide your everyday expierencing. As a guide, I assist with individuals facing grief and loss, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, bipoc/immigrant issues, and trauma/attachment concerns. Together, let’s seek out to discover your definition of Anand—an essence of contentment.

You were raised by emotionally immature (EI) parents, & you learned to survive by people pleasing & prioritizing others' needs before your own. You know that putting everyone else before yourself is not sustainable, and it's time for a change. You're ready to address your childhood wounds, negative beliefs & ineffective patterns caused by EI parents. As far as others can tell, you've got a great life. You're accomplished, caring, and capable. But on the inside, you feel like you're failing, not good enough, and are quick to point out all the ways you're falling short. You try to keep everything together, but you're exhausted.

So often we experience stress, fear, sadness, and other conflicting emotions that lead to the development of dysfunctional, maladaptive behaviors and emotions. These patterns influence our own self-worth and can influence our ability to form relationships with others. I work to foster a safe environment for you to be able to identify and process through your emotions and make changes in the way you cope with those emotions. Creating this clear understanding can help to strengthen your relationship with your inner self, and to better communicate with others to manage relational conflict.

I possess extensive experience working with community members who have difficulty feeling safe and heard in therapeutic environments.

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.

Due to my social work background, I approach therapy with one initial goal: to meet someone where they’re at. This means utilizing the unique strengths, experiences, and identities inherent within each person to help them live fuller, happier, more meaningful lives. All work done in therapy is built on a true collaboration, where a client can present themselves as they are and use tools presented by the therapist to gently challenge them, and help them navigate whatever they’re struggling with. My clients are mainly individuals experiencing depression, difficult life changes, anxiety, and trauma.

I love working with adults and older adults. I often work with people on anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulty with life transitions. My approach is supportive, warm, and nonjudgmental. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, drawing on humanistic, existential, and narrative approaches as well as skills-based frameworks such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior behavior therapy (DBT). I work with a feminist, social-justice focused, and antiracist lens to appreciate the ways in which people and their wellbeing are affected by systems of oppression and how this may challenge or connect us in therapy.
