Therapists in Woodinville, WA

I work with parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children to help them navigate raising their unique humans. I also work with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression brought on by chronic or sudden life stressors. This work is largely about identifying and examining old beliefs, coping mechanisms, and patterns of communication from the person's past that are no longer useful in current situations. In this way, people can learn and grow beyond their old habits.

It is our mission to provide mental health counseling that is evidence-based and collaborative. No matter the challenge or problem, we will work with you to find tools, techniques and skills that work for you and your lifestyle. Together we can find a solution.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their path to wellness. Currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, I am committed to providing evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help clients overcome and cope with life’s challenges.

Life can be challenging and sometimes we need extra support. I specialize in providing individual and family therapy to adults, children, and adolescents that are experiencing a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, family disruptions and conflicts, and peer interactions. I am currently in the process of completing a certification that will be completed at the end of March to be able to serve parents who are struggling with Postpartum Disorders. I look forward to taking this journey with you towards a healthier and happier life.

You're overwhelmed with stress taking over your life. You're plagued by unhelpful thoughts or flashbacks from a traumatic event.

I love helping young adults, new mothers, as well as those working through anxiety, depression, traumatic events, and life stressors. You're ready to leave the past behind you: fill out the questionnaire on our website to get started today.

Life is often peppered with difficult feelings, heavy responsibilities, and tumultuous changes, chances are you’ve weathered many storms in your life. I work with clients who are looking to change their relationship to their feelings to cultivate a more peaceful and joyful life. Whether you are managing anxiety, depression, or a life transition, therapy can help you develop perspective and a tangible toolkit that builds your confidence in your ability to endure the seasons of life. I work with reflective and motivated teens and adults helping them reclaim power over their stories and develop skills that work for their unique needs.

I specialize in youth 12 & under and the families that love them. I have specific experience & training with youth & young people with symptoms of autism spectrum, sensory processing difficulties, attention deficits & disruptive behaviors. I utilize you & your child’s strengths to improve emotional, cognitive & behavioral functioning. I incorporate children’s interests to foster a connection & relationship in counseling. Whether it be through play, art, music, or the outdoors, I want to encourage individuality & confidence while learning how to improve overall functioning. My goal is to help you & your child find balance.

Therapy is about you – your successes and strengths, your stumbles and hurts, your needs and goals. Pain has a way of making us feel isolated and alone. It can tear us up on the inside while hiding from others on the outside. We often believe that we are feeling pain because we are not doing something right, so we think that if we just “try harder” or “do better” then we can make the hurt go away. Often, our pain is like a warning light on the dashboard of our car. It’s trying to tell us something important that, if ignored, could be dangerous and impair our ability to function well - or at all.

We live in a complicated world where the demands of work, home, caregiving, as well as exposure to troubling events all take their toll. Many of us need a place to gain perspective, develop skills and discover a better way forward.

Do you feel like life is so overwhelming that it’s hard to focus? Do you feel like sometimes your only option is to hide or leave this life? Depression and or anxiety win most of the time? I get that. Your feelings matter. You matter. I work with several individuals whom struggle with these overwhelming emotions, together we can find desires of life, set goals, and figure out what matters to you individually.

Hello! I believe that healing begins with a strong and trusting professional relationship between the counselor and client and that the client is the expert on what wellness looks like for them. Through this foundation, change is achieved by increasing insight and identifying patterns from adverse childhood experiences to help alleviate my client’s suffering. Understanding my client's unique strengths helps to establish and achieve goals to foster positive change and lessen the impact of emotional pain that often results from trauma.

Please note, there is currently a minimum of a 3 month wait for services. Hello! I support adult clients and youth clients aged 9-17 and their families. No one's journey should be alone. If you, your family, or your child are struggling: with home life, school, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or a difficult transition- contact me for a free phone consultation. I look forward to hearing your story.

Please contact Dr. Austin at OK Psychotherapy if you are interested in getting a psychological evaluation done for ADHD, Autism, or some other issue.

I work primarily with teens and adults with struggles associated with Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Life Transitions, Attachment, navigating the struggles of being human in a difficult world, and more. Clients are experts in their own lives and therapy is a journey where we will travel together focusing on arriving at your destination. Together we will identify your strengths, further strengthen skills that work well, and identify adjustments to achieve your goals. Through our collaboration, you will develop skills and tools that you can use right away, as well as, in the future.

I am accepting new adult clients! Are you feeling emotional distress? Are you having difficulty sleeping? Do you struggle with negative beliefs about yourself? Do you feel lost and wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again? Do you feel stuck? Are you having difficulty concentrating in normal everyday life or have put the things that matter to you aside? Do your friends or family care, but don't know what to do? People find me when their old coping strategies stop working.

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help. One of the most important steps of pursuing counseling is finding a passionate, knowledgeable, and trusting therapist that you feel comfortable with. One that will sit with you through your difficult moments and help you to recognize or remind you of your strength. If a mood disorder is taking control of your life, I can help you to learn how to manage it. ​If you are experiencing challenges with your significant other(s) I can help you to improve the connection, understanding, and intimacy.

Do you feel down and unable to ask those you are close to for help? Are you out of energy for the important parts of your life? Do new stresses pop up quicker than you seem to adjust to old ones? Do you feel unheard in your relationships? You may be looking for a new path forward, even while you appreciate for all the ways you have helped yourself and been helped by others along the way. Similarly, you may also be looking for help for your child or teen who is struggling in some of these ways.

Feeling lost and disconnected from your Self? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Maybe you wonder, "What's wrong with me?" Whatever you're experiencing, I believe that you have the ability to heal. How? By not only addressing your symptoms, but the underlying, root causes of them. I support clients in processing the root of their pain, so they can remember and release unconscious material that has been keeping them stuck, symptomatic, and separated. When you process at the root, your symptoms resolve naturally because they're no longer needed, making way for greater health, wholeness, freedom, and peace.
