Somatic Therapists in Washington

I love working with a variety of clients and believe that there is no issue that is too big or too small for therapy. I have experience with working with clients experiencing challenging life transitions, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideations. I also do have expertise and training in assisting veterans.

Whether you are getting to know yourself better or are seeking support while navigating life’s challenges, I would love to come alongside your journey to offer a compassionate and empowering space to process and grow in. I enjoy working with people who may be members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent folks, and people with systemic or religious trauma. However, you don’t need to belong to these particular communities to work with me, I hope to see clients thrive in exactly who they are.

Anand, coined in Eastern Philosophies, embodies human happiness or bliss. Our past experiences can act as barriers to this experience. In therapy, a journey of self-discovery, we co-create a space to unwind your narrative and find healing. I invite you to explore a heightened self-awareness to guide your everyday expierencing. As a guide, I assist with individuals facing grief and loss, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, bipoc/immigrant issues, and trauma/attachment concerns. Together, let’s seek out to discover your definition of Anand—an essence of contentment.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families affected by trauma, relationship challenges, and/or eating disorders/food and body issues. Many of my clients are looking for healing around stressful or traumatic life experiences that have led to brilliant but sometimes "stuck" survival strategies. Others are seeking to find peace and freedom with food and body struggles. Some may be struggling with relationships, communication, and boundaries. Though these are my areas of expertise, I work with a wide variety of clients and needs and am happy to explore if I am the right fit for you.

Looking for connection? A sense of being seen and understood amidst all the trauma, chaos and anxiety of life? As a trauma informed psychotherapist, somatic experiencing practitioner and psychedelic assisted therapy specialist, I can help you find safety and home in your own body and psyche. It might not be safe "out there", but you can find safety "in here". Let me help guide you home. See my website for more: www.jaelyn.love

Three decades in private practice has reinforced my belief that much of our struggles are rooted in some of our earliest formative experiences. Our thoughts, emotions, perceptions and behaviors are largely shaped by impactful conditions and experiences. Patterns and strategies often become unconscious, automatic and at times destructive. This is often what brings us to therapy. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship that allows doors to open through connection and compassion. My approach draws on many years of experience in the art of somatic based psychotherapies and depth oriented psychology.

You're probably feeling stuck. You might be feeling unhappy, depressed, anxious, disconnected, and self-critical. You may have been through a trauma, recently or years ago. You are ready to make a change - any change - but you aren’t sure where to start or how. At this point, you might even be lost trying to find a therapist. You have probably looked at what feels like a million profiles and websites, and everyone is starting to sound the same. Take a deep breath. You WILL find what you need.

Are you tired of being consumed by your grief, depression and anxiety? Do you feel out of touch with your emotions and body and even the world? Are you ready to set aside your overwhelm and start living a life of internal authenticity, space and freedom?

Many of us are feeling overwhelmed and stressed out right now. Recent and ongoing events are likely to trigger things that have happened in our past and can make it even more difficult to get through the day. Maybe you're feeling guilty because you feel like you "should" be grateful right now, but you really just feel awful. Whatever you are going through, talking to a therapist can be a lifesaver. We can help you make sense of what is going on in the world and your life, and help you feel supported and empowered in this time of uncertainty. We are here to be your non-judgemental support.

Accepting new clients Aug 2024! Do you struggle with anxiety, constant worry, or self-doubt that holds you back? Are you feeling stuck, depressed, or disconnected from yourself or others? Looking to improve communication or bring healing to your relationship? I provide individuals and couples a safe space to explore core issues and unhelpful patterns that keep you feeling stuck or unfulfilled. Together we will uncover the obstacles holding you back, offering the guidance and tools needed to reach your goals and create lasting growth. My approach is active and engaged, compassionate, relatable, honest, and approachable.

For me, “psychotherapy has to do with…people playing together.” My therapeutic approach is grounded in practicality, metaphor, and paradox. Whether you want to examine your relationship to archetypes and epic tales, investigate the mundane and extraordinary beauty in doing the dishes, or delve into your style of relating to another being: bring all of it - it is welcome and deserving of your attention. Fundamentally, I am fascinated by people - our stories, our journeys and our capacities for grace and awe.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or disconnected? You’re not alone. Each and everyone of us has our own stories and lived experiences of pain, trauma, disconnection. Life’s challenges can be overwhelming and it is crucial to have the support you need to navigate life. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and body-led. Healing is a journey, and I will meet you on the path exactly where you are with compassion and non-judgement. Together I join with you on the path toward your healing and fulfillment and together we embrace the messiness of the human experience where you are free to explore what is alive for you.

I offer a unique blend of talk therapy and sound healing based interventions. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, or simply seeking greater self-awareness I am here to accompany you on your healing journey. With over 15 years as a Social Worker, working with children and families in the community my approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and collaboration, creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

Hello potential client! Welcome to your journey of wellness and healing. May you find what you are seeking. My experience tells me that you may endure anxiety and/or depression, struggle with confusion as to why and how to get out of it. Your body and mind may be telling you that something is deeply wrong. You may have tried many different methods to cope, avoid, or logic your way clear of these painful states. You have a desire to feel secure within yourself so you may engage with others and the world authentically. Perhaps it feels like there is a wall between you and what you want.

If you are getting through life, maybe even succeeding at many aspects of it, but just not feeling like you are truly thriving, I may be able to help. I enjoy supporting clients in finding new ways to increase their unique strengths and address challenges that hold them back from being present and engaged in creating a fulfilling life. My specialties include neurodivergence (ADHD, learning differences etc.), climate and social-political distress/anxiety or grief, those who work in the education field, mild/moderate anxiety and depression, stress, and those navigating new landscapes and transitions in life.

You’re not here to struggle through life. I can show you how to turn struggle into strength! I only see women ages 18-33 who are interested in exploring new skills and strategies to work toward reducing and sometimes even freeing themselves from symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD so they can be more in control of their lives by creating the inner strength needed to face a sometimes challenging world with courage and confidence, changing a life directed by fear and limitations into one guided by self-love, courage, and a newfound curiosity about what options and possibilities await them, making every day brighter.

I help survivors of trauma and difficult childhoods cultivate a calm, congruent life. Survivors may feel emotions that seem out of place in the present moment, experiencing anxiety, depression or shame, have unusual medical issues, or perhaps trouble remembering past events. Difficulty in relationships, low self-esteem, attention issues, and problems trusting are common. If this sounds like your experience, please know it is possible to both release and integrate your past for a more fulfilled present.

You may be feeling that the strands of your life are unraveling and you want to make sense of it all. My private practice, Tapestry Therapy, is founded upon the belief that your life is like a tapestry, consisting of strands of stories that have been woven together to make one larger story. Our story is part of the larger tapestry of our family, race, culture, country and world. Through the work of therapy, we come to understand our stories and be empowered to decide how we will write future chapters. I utilize process therapy and Lifespan Integration, which is a somatic therapy, to help my clients reach their goals.

I am passionate about working with couples. Working from an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy model, I help couples heal from relationship injuries and build a stronger and deeper connection. This work is deeply satisfying to me and I feel honored to be part of a couple’s healing process. I am also a certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner (SEP) with an interest in treating individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to create a safe and healing environment where my clients can physically experience and process difficult emotions.
