Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Seattle, WA
I have 14 years’ experience in the mental health industry specializing in Mindfulness Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Sports Psychology, and Executive Coaching.
Sometimes life situations or past experiences create self-doubt, personal insecurities of “not being good enough,” and may even have negatively influenced how you manage life stress, relationships, and even become a barrier to achieving personal or professional goals. I want to work with you to uncover these barriers and rebuild a stronger sense of wellbeing and enhance motivation. Through the integration of Mindfulness concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will investigate thought patterns, challenge negative patterns, remove negative judgment, and build a stronger sense of self, self-worth.

Life sometimes doesn’t go exactly as we expect. And navigating challenges can feel overwhelming and often isolating. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Together we can explore, process, and prepare for life’s experiences, expected or unexpected. It is important to me that my clients feel heard, safe, and supported in our work together. I strive to create a space that welcomes and celebrates the authentic self of all my clients. My goal is to support clients in living their most fulfilling life.

All with mindfulness, compassion, and consent.
Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

Utilizing a holistic and integrative mindset, I draw from various therapeutic approaches including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness practices.
Adolescence and young adulthood can be exciting yet stressful. I offer compassionate guidance through anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, emotion regulation, and relationship challenges. While I focus on youth and young adults, I support people at all life stages. Are you a parent, new or experienced, seeking support? The inner work we do can profoundly impact our children. I provide a safe space for parents to talk through the balance and difficulties of parenthood, coaching around behaviors you might be seeing at home, and help you develop regulation strategies and skills that can be modeled to children.

My clients usually find me because they are seeking a change and a new approach in therapy to process their trauma.

Making sure that I have the right skills and approach for your goals is especially important to me!

I utilize approaches with strong research support and often integrate mindfulness-based practices to help you to increase self-awareness and cultivate self-acceptance.
Are you ready to break free from unhelpful thinking styles and behaviors that are holding you back from living a more fulfilling life? During times of stress do you tend to be too hard on yourself rather than attending to your own needs? Would you like to feel more empowered with effective strategies to better manage worry, low mood, irritability or self-criticism? Coping with mental health challenges while also attending to work, relationship or health related concerns can be overwhelming. You deserve a safe and compassionate space to openly process your thoughts and feelings.

I offer mindfulness practices and behavioral exercises as needed, so you can take doable steps toward change and find more meaning in daily life.
Being open to understanding more about yourself takes courage. You may envision something new, but you don’t know how to get there. There may be an inner struggle of whether you are worthy or deserve to be happy. In counseling you get to be seen and heard for all that you are. With curiosity and warmth, I will listen and support you in identifying what you'd like to shift in your life to bring a sense relief and ease while more closely meeting your needs and living in balance with your values.

My work is rooted in existential and buddhist concepts and I have experience leading groups focused on coping with grief, self-compassion, and integrating mindfulness-based approaches into daily life.
I want to help you find solace, clarity, and a sense of ease to the things in life that seldom make sense. Often this is asking big questions in the face of life's hardest curveballs. I will encourage meaningful and honest conversations about the things in life that are challenging for you to explore. Together, we will make a space to be able to give life to the words that are difficult to say out loud and help you grow in ways that feel useful to you. This can be a painful process and most often is worth it.

To accomplish your goals, we will use CBT, ACT, along with Mindfulness and Narrative therapy approaches.
Do you feel tired and feel as though life won’t let up? Maybe you’re noticing that you no longer roll with the punches like you used to. Or worse, you’re sleep deprived, your anxiety is shattering, and you feel like a hot mess. Maybe you don’t feel like you recognize the person in the mirror. All the while you dream of bouncing back to your old self – a person who can roll with the punches. As women we can take on the world, while leaving ourselves behind. Together we’ll plot out the life you want, create a action plan, and work through the roadblocks.

I offer skillful therapy with warmth, gentleness, humor, and an interactive, down to earth style. My therapeutic approach blends more traditional psychodynamic work with body-oriented psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and the development of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. I work with adolescent and adult individuals, couples, and groups. This work is about igniting what works, what is strong and beautiful in us, as much as it is about resolving old hurt and compassionately holding the difficulties of life. Therapy can facilitate powerful shifts creating greater room for happiness, authenticity and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.

My own life challenges, including issues related to fertility, postpartum and parenthood, have deepened and strengthened my belief in the power of self-compassion, mindfulness and empathy.
We all struggle from time to time, it's part of being human. While we often wish our difficult feelings would just go away, these periods of struggle can be an invitation for growth. Therapy will help you get through a difficult time and as you do you will gain the knowledge and tools necessary to make lasting positive change in your life. I help individual clients who feel stuck or dissatisfied with some aspect of their life increase self-awareness and self-compassion and decrease unwanted symptoms such as anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. www.nancycasecounseling.com

I work with a range of different issues, from sexual functioning and compatibility, to lifestyle, conflict management, and vulnerability from a mindfulness based approach.
As a therapist that works with couples and individuals, with a focus on intimacy and sexuality, I often work with people seeking deeper and more nourishing connections in their relationships and lives. Connection requires the courage to move into vulnerability and honesty to live one's truth about what they really need from their relationships. This is where I can help! I serve as a guide for individuals and couples in stepping into their own lives, to ask for what they need and to be present in and for their relationships.

This includes Mindfulness approaches, DBT, relational therapy, EFT, and basic principles of CBT and Somatic Therapy.
I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your needs aside in this process, or just haven’t had the time or understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I offer a safe space to slow down and assist you in identifying your needs and learning how to tend to yourself. Common therapeutic goals can include trauma and emotional processing, confidence building, communication and self-care.

I have a collaborative approach to counseling where I work with clients to help them identify areas for change and to make changes by setting specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive goals. To do this, I incorporate evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness meditation, and other modalities. Generally, this involves changing or adjusting our relationship to our thoughts and changing behaviors that negatively impact our functioning and get in the way of us living meaningful lives based on our values and what is important to us.
