Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Seattle, WA

Clinical hypnotherapy is a powerful treatment strategy with broad applications. Hypnosis engages with the subconscious mind by offering new ideas and new stories to help shift unhelpful or harmful patterns of behavior. Hypnosis can be used to treat a variety of clinical conditions (e.g. insomnia, jaw clenching), phobias (dogs, flying), and even addiction.

My clients are often facing transitions that may leave them feeling alone or unlike themselves. By creating a nonjudgmental space where they can feel seen and understood, I help my clients discover what is most important to them so that they can find more ease in their lives. Therapeutic sessions will be tailored to clients' individual needs. I prioritize using a strengths-based approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and similar modalities. In therapy, clients often learn that their current coping strategies, even those that are harmful, have served a purpose.

As human beings, we are prone to intense joy, deep sorrow and a wide spectrum of emotions in between. Therapy is a place to learn how to navigate these changing terrains of life. As a therapist, I will come alongside you to listen, reflect, speak to, and bear witness to your particular experiences in life. I believe many personal struggles are relational and that we experience healing through genuine connection with ourselves and others. I'm passionate about helping people move from a life of fear and feeling stuck to a life of freedom, feeling grounded, and developing a growing trust in yourself and others.

You want to appear confident and like you have it all together, but deep down, you struggle to get it all done and stay connected to the present moment. You may be fed up with the constant battle of proving yourself, feeling anxious you are missing something, or preoccupied with pleasing others. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel connected and enjoy the NOW. You’re ready to smile and laugh again. Most of all, you’re ready to take charge of your life and no longer be controlled by anxiety and grief.

I believe you are the expert of your own life. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with you, and create a space where you are able to reconnect with yourself and your strengths in order to live the best version of your life. I am passionate about supporting women who are navigating life transitions and are discovering their identity and belonging in a new city, relationships, career, or are transitioning into motherhood. I work with women who experience anxiety and depression, and women who feel disconnected from their bodies, struggle with disordered eating, or are experiencing negative body image.

Accepting new clients. Is conversations with loved ones leaving you feeling hurt, misunderstood or sad? I am here to support you to better communicate your needs and to navigate through challenging periods in your relationships. I support individuals, families and couples to better understand the patterns in their relationships that may be the cause of stress, anxiety or unhappiness. I enjoy working with blended families as well as queer families. I’m a first generation immigrant and enjoy supporting other immigrants with acculturation as well as parenting.

Welcome! I'm Lizette, a therapist who's passionate about creating an intentional and affirming space for all my clients.

Are you an introvert? How about a busy parent with no time to set aside for hour-long sessions? Or do you dread face-to-face interaction when working through life's challenges? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, I invite you to schedule an appointment. My goal as a therapist is to create safe spaces for all my clients, tailored to their unique needs and preferences. The first session is video to meet each other per Washington State requirements and after that you can do text, video or no video sessions. When you send a message, let me know what your preferred method is.

My approach to counseling is positive, strengths-based and client-centered. Every person is capable of healing and growth, and sometimes we need some extra support to get there.

Many of us have known heartache, loss, confusion, and persistent worry. It's my life's work to join people who have struggled with these experiences and help them find clarity, fulfillment, and joy. I'm excited to work with individuals as they dig deeper into understanding the "why" behind their choices and motivations, to feel alive and vibrant no matter what they face. Though I approach therapeutic work in an eclectic way, I primarily utilize evidence-based practices in conjunction with other modalities to create a tailored approach to each person.

I love to help people who are straddling cultures and have a complex relationship with duty and autonomy. So many of us have internalized beliefs around what we are supposed to be doing and how we are supposed to live our lives but haven’t had a chance to sit down and workshop whether this is congruent with our overall goals and wants for ourselves. When we don’t take the time and space to heal the inner child and build self confidence to live our best lives, things like anxiety, depression, and emotional reactivity can creep in keeping us feeling stuck.

I help people navigate change: going to college, having a child, mourning the loss of a loved one, ending a relationship, grieving expectations and hopes around fertility, and so much more.

My goal is to come alongside you and meet you where you are...to be with you as you dig deeper. Together we can work to heal pain from the past and help change your future.
