Therapists in Seattle, WA

Being a therapist is my passion. I consider it an honor to be able to work with everyone of my clients. I understand what it is like to struggle. I also know what it is like to find peace through healing.

Whether you are dealing with stressors related to past trauma or current life challenges, you don't have to work through the emotional struggles alone. As we face complex challenges unique to the multiple roles that we hold in your life, it's easy to get lost in everyday responsibilities, ignoring the potential warning signs of depression and anxiety. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, restless, racing thoughts, exhausted, stressed, living in survival mode; give yourself permission to heal! How you think+how you feel+how you act, creates your life. Take a mindful approach to an awake and poised you.

Therapy for Teenagers: I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns in adolescents. My work with teenagers focuses on choosing healthy behaviors and developing self-confidence. No matter what the immediate concern, my goal is to help young people grow into healthy, happy adults.

My specialties are premarital and couple counseling, issues around sexuality for men and women, and counseling individuals with anxiety, depression and life changes. Couples and individuals who find me helpful often find that they feel stuck and unhappy. They have been unable to reason themselves out of their difficulties yet desperately want to change. They need help figuring out what is going on beneath the surface and how to use this newfound knowledge to heal. People who work with me want someone who is collaborative and nonjudgmental.

I center experiences of Black, Indigenous, & other world-majority cultures, & LGBTQIA+. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you to improve relationships, problem-solve, or reduce your suffering.

Contrary to what movies show you about therapy, I won’t give you unwanted advice or simply nod solemnly the whole session. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, free expression, and movement to join with my clients and help them explore what healing means to them. I hope to empower clients to access their natural abilities and to gently disrupt the unhealthy patterns we humans often get stuck in using more than traditional “talk therapy” approach. My goal is to facilitate somatic healing, so your whole body begins to feel better as you gain new awareness and get “unstuck” from the patterns you’re ready to release.

Are you tired of mistreating the people you love? Don't you wish you could change? - Do you often find yourself irritable and angry at the people around you? - Ready to lash out and get upset even at the smallest reason? You are not alone! Many people are in similar shoes. There is hope! Anger management, learning to respond differently to situations that make you upset don't have to be difficult. It can be eye-opening; you will learn a great deal about yourself and it can be fun. I offer individual therapy for issues regarding relationships and anger.

Life as an ADHDer can feel like persisting in a world not built for you. You got that message from teachers if school became overwhelming and you weren't taught new coping skills. Or you might be burnt out at work, comparing yourself and feeling behind. Those closest to you may not understand your struggles with organization, time management, impulsivity, and sensitivity. Maybe you've been in therapy before, but focusing on just anxiety or depression hasn't helped much. And all of this is more confusing if you were diagnosed as an adult or aren't yet diagnosed. Ultimately, you just want to feel in control of your own life.

I work primarily with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and challenging life transitions, seeking a safe space to explore their story. They need empathetic support, validation, and tools for self-discovery. Their goals include understanding their emotions, building resilience, and creating meaningful life changes. They want to regain a sense of control and fulfillment because they recognize the importance of mental well-being in achieving a balanced, purposeful life. Through narrative and person-centered therapy, I guide them to rewrite their stories and empower their journey toward healing and growth.

Are you burnt out from late-stage capitalism, White supremacy, and rampant misogyny? Same. Rest and relationships are essential. I provide a relationship that supports your growth, holds space for discomfort and grief, and inspires you to create joy and pleasure in everything you do. I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety and depression, gender and sexual issues, trauma, attachment-based challenges, relationship stress, and folks looking to heal through mind-body integration.

Have you been feeling detached from your life? Are you ready to feel more connected but unsure how to get there? Perhaps I can be of service.

I know that when you don't feel like yourself or feel stuck, it's hard to see that change is possible, and even harder to know what to change. I truly believe we can work on that together. Therapy can be a big step and together we will figure out the best way to help you feel better and move you in a direction of increased happiness and fulfillment. Therapy is flexible and we may focus on developing new skills or on developing new understanding of yourself and others. We'll work together to see what approach fits best.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to heal. Drawing from a client-centered approach, I hope to guide clients towards empowerment, ability to identify triggers, and develop healthy boundaries.

Hi there, I'm Heather. I believe that each of us has the capacity to grow, heal and learn to live in harmony with our life's purpose. In our work together I use playfulness, kindness, compassion and accountability to help you tap into your inherent strengths in order to navigate life's challenges. Together we will uncover patterns that are keeping you stuck and explore different ways to cope, leading to a more peaceful and satisfying life. I especially love working with clients on building self awareness and practicing self compassion. These two concepts can lead to a life of intention, confidence and integrity.

About me: I specialize in anxiety management, ADHD resiliency, burnout, work-related issues, depression, and more. About you: You're a badass - yet you don't always believe it. The pressure to perform can be exhausting + the cycle of negative self talk often makes simple mistakes feel catastrophic. You're good at being there for others, but when it comes to yourself - it's hard to ask for help. Here's the thing: no one gets through this world alone. My goal is to meet you where you are in your healing journey, and to do my part in building the necessary rapport to do our best work, together.
