Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Seattle, WA

Are you struggling with feeling alone, or having difficulty connecting with others? Do you often seem stuck with challenging thoughts or feelings? Are you/your family experiencing sudden, new challenges, with no way to successfully navigate them? I can help! I am an empathic, gentle, nerdy therapist that can help you feel more present in the moment, better connected with others, & actually enjoy life! I accept people with an extraordinary amount of compassion, just as they are, without judgment. It's important to me that the process is collaborative, and our sessions will be tailored to fit your specific needs, concerns, and goals.

My primary focus is helping clients build a fulfilling life based on their personal values & goals. I primarily work with older adolescents, adults, parents, and families with a variety of difficulties including: self-harm & suicidal behaviors, intense emotions/emotions that feel out of control, mood (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, and substance use disorders. I have extensive training treating disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well. My style is collaborative and compassionate, as well as evidence based, meaning I use treatments that have been supported by research to show they are effective.

At the Rowan Center for Behavioral Medicine, we help people reach their full potential by transforming their healthcare experience.

Hello! Thank you for considering me as a potential partner in your therapeutic journey. I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients of all ages since 2015 and specifically in a theraputic setting following my graduation from the University of Washington in 2021. Throughout my career, I've pursued ongoing education and training in various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Crisis and Suicide Intervention. I believe in the importance of tailoring interventions to meet each client's unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

Hello and Welcome! I am glad you’re taking steps that support your good health. To me, therapy is a collaborative process based on an authentic therapeutic relationship and trust that we develop together. I am genuinely interested in you – your unique experiences and perspectives, strengths and struggles, and goals and dreams. In sessions we will build on your strengths, explore your challenges, nourish your hope and resilience, support your growth, and develop an understanding of what you need to thrive.

I chose to become a therapist after doing social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with CPTSD, PTSD and childhood trauma. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and making you feel truly heard, cared about, safe, and understood. The majority of my experience is as a child and family therapist.

Have you drawn your last straw? I work with couples in distress regarding sexual issues, chronic conflict, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD. My focus in couple therapy is to understand and give space to even the ugliest parts of you and your partner that have been preventing the connection you once felt. As we contextualize parts and patterns in your experience, we can uncover the stuck-ness that is keeping you from feeling the satisfaction and safety you seek. While I see many wonderful, burned-out mothers and wives, I also have extensive experience with courageous men who also enter the "feeling" space.

I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT, and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

Therapy is where you come to reflect on life decisions and experiences and I am here for you through those moments. I would describe a session as being insightful and meaningful even if it is in subtle ways. We may spend some time talking about your daily life, or big things; some days it may feel like a big breakthrough happened and others, a casual conversation. All the things brought up are important to allow you and I to build a therapeutic relationship and to feel comfortable. Everything that you talk about contributes to your growth, even if it is not tangible yet.

I'm accepting new weekly clients at a 10% discounted rate for the month of August. Lock in at this lower rate now! As a Transpersonal Psychotherapist I offer mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual support. I teach you to Love & Accept your Self unconditionally. Transpersonal psychology emphasizes the importance of a healthy spirit in healing and wholeness. I help you shift your perspectives so that life begins to work for you instead of against you.

I work with a diversity of adults experiencing relationship issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and life transitions. Are you feeling stuck in in a pattern but unsure how to break out of it? Are you struggling to find a sense of balance or hope, navigating life transition, feeling afraid to engage in activities you once enjoyed? You may be experiencing self-judgment, low self-worth, shame, or just seeking change. These are common issues that bring people to therapy, and can be an opportunity for deeper growth and acceptance. When you feel seen and heard in therapy, deep healing is possible.

I offer counseling in a warm, supportive and interactive environment. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Washington and Oregon, with over fifteen years of clinical experience. I work with individual adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, work and/or school stress, self-esteem, feeling stuck, life transitions, communication and relationship difficulties, loss, and stress management.

There have been many times in my life when I have needed a counselor. Whether it was to help in figuring out my next step in school, what track I needed to take in college, or even talking about my own personal struggles, counselors have played a role in my life and have helped me achieve many of my goals. I came to appreciate the role of a counselor and the hard work and dedication it takes to walk alongside clients and their journey. Therapy is hard work, and it is a task that many don’t want to face alone.

As a clinician, the therapeutic process is only meaningful and complete with the reciprocity and engagement of those I work with. Each individual is unique and their stories are interwoven with a rich tapestry of diverse emotions. By balancing the abstract, creative, philosophical, and introspective aspects of life with friendliness, compassion, empathy and care, I walk the path with you on your journey toward peace and happiness.

My name is Morgan, and my approach to therapy is grounded in an emphasis on our therapeutic relationship. My goal as your therapist is to foster an environment of safety using empathy, respect, authenticity, compassion, and acceptance. I hope to utilize gentle curiosity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to achieve your goals. I approach the therapeutic process from a person-centered and strengths-based perspective, focusing on your competencies while identifying your needs. My goal is to support you as we build your skills to provide you with additional resources that could be beneficial to your overall wellbeing.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, multicultural issues, addictions & the relationships that suffer as a result. I love helping anyone willing, to (learn to) love and honor the person they are today & recognize their story’s ending is one that they get to choose. I enjoy helping clients who found ways to manage their mental health issues in ways that are no longer serving them. My practice is a safe space and provides equality of services and care to everyone, regardless of age, gender, gender identity, race, disability, religion, or belief or sexual orientation.

In our present lives, due to the high levels of stress, so many individuals of every age are suffering with their mental health. Our mental health is a vital part in living a quality life. The first step is always the most difficult in anything we do, especially when it comes to letting others know we need help. That first step towards positive mental health involves the realization, that you may need another person to come along side of you, to assist in leading the way forward.

Do you have trauma, anxiety or depression and feel ready to work on yourself? Perhaps you are new to therapy but feel motivated or inspired to heal and work through emotions, conflicts or blockages to living a more fulfilling life. Have you had other therapies but feel “it’s time” to go deeper and explore root causes of patterns and issues? Do you feel you are in an “awakening“ and hope to work with a Transpersonal Therapist to support the integration of your higher or Whole/Core Self?
