I believe people change when they are truly ready and searching for a counselor is the first step towards making the changes you desire. I want you to feel progress as quickly as possible and I believe my job as a clinician is to help you develop a closer relationship with yourself so that you will be more in tune with how difficulties in your life develop and impact your well being. We will work together in a safe and non-judgmental environment to develop goals, increase personal awareness, and reduce distress so that life becomes more manageable and fulfilling.

Samuel Kane, MA, LMHC, PhD is a Clinical Psychology Graduate from the California School of Professional Psychology. Dr. Kane has particular training and expertise in evaluating both youth and adults presenting with complex psychological and neuropsychological conditions. Dr. Kane works collaboratively with his clients and their counsel that are experiencing conflicts (e.g., custody, relocation, personal injuries, etc.) and at crossroads with the court system.

Do you ever get a “gut” feeling? Have a tendency to ignore that feeling or explain it away? In session, we will work to reconnect your brain to your body and increase the trust you have in yourself to the experiences and relationships around you. Our bodies often hold on to memories and traumatic experiences in different ways than our brains do. These unresolved emotions oftentimes present themselves as physical symptoms; anxiety, a feeling of being stuck, panic, irritability and more. Once we are able to express those emotions and heal that connection between body and brain you can find more calm, centeredness, and connection.

Do you feel that you are not your normal self and are looking for support in healing? In our society, it is easy to get caught up in our daily tasks and neglect our mental health. If you are looking for a space to heal, get support, and feel heard then you have come to the right place. I believe that therapy is a space where you can receive support and learn more about yourself in a safe environment.

Serving the Seattle area since 1993, I work best with clients who are wanting to thrive in their lives; looking to make positive changes, release old behaviors and habits that hold them back, and feel greater joy and balance within themselves. Utilizing counseling and hypnotherapy, as well as tapping and EMDR type techniques, support taking those new steps into the life they dream about.

ONLINE Coaching is available now during normal business hours. I help leaders, managers, directors of organizations and heads of households who experience people-related issues in complex business and home environments. My clients are often intellectually gifted, successful professionals under high business performance pressure to achieve success at the level they know they are capable. Clients include founders, executives scientists/engineers, organizational leaders. I rapidly increase cognitive and behavioral strengths to meet demands during life transitions, career advancements, personal set-backs and interpersonal conflicts.

I provide individual, couple and family counseling and life coaching to multicultural individuals and families dealing with or working through a variety of life issues and challenges, and seeking to integrate their life in the process of resolving these issues. I believe the essence of therapy is through a counselor’s technical capacity and spiritual maturity as well as cultivating own healthy characteristics and attitudes, to deeply interest in people, through attentive listening to build a warm relationship, and through insight and education, to share mutual concerns and problems.

Hi! I'm Jackie and my superpower is connecting with young people. I've been working with children and adolescents from around the globe for over 25 years. As an educator, I became attuned to the developmental stages that shape a child's feelings and behavior. Now, as a therapist, I'm thrilled to connect with young people and their families in a way that strengthens their resilience and relationships as they grow. I received my MA in Counseling from NYU and a post-graduate certificate in Play Therapy from Antioch University where I discovered a passion for Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy.

I specialize in treating all forms of anxiety, including social anxiety, agoraphobia, specific phobias (e.g. spiders, flying, heights, driving), and panic disorders. In addition, I have extensive experience guiding parents toward more connected relationships with their children. I especially enjoy working with new moms and parents of toddlers. I also have a special interest helping individuals increase their self-esteem by helping you identify your strengths, increase your level of confidence, and create positive, healthy goals for yourself.

My goal is to provide a safe context within which to address issues related to loss, grief, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I use therapeutic models rooted in healing relationships with oneself and others through dialogue, reflection and connection. To support this work, I incorporate relaxation and meditation practices. Taking the courageous steps toward healing begins the process of greater understanding, compassion and relatedness.

I work on helping everyone find their unique path towards success and growth. In this work I have learned that there is no "one right way" to do things and everyone has a unique and personal journey towards finding the peace, success and growth they want in themselves, their lives and relationships. My goal is to help everyone I work with find this path and walk with them as they journey through the many challenges of their lives.

I specialize in working with those who are experiencing distressing life events and may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma or grief. I believe in the inherent resiliency of all people. I welcome clients as they are with compassion and offer a genuine warmth and judgment-free space to help them gain clarity and direction. With compassion and respect for my clients' stories, together we begin understanding emotions, restructuring unhelpful thinking patterns, identifying solutions, and establishing more positive lifestyle habits. I also welcome those looking for licensure supervision.

Feeling like you have to constantly push through just to make it through your day. The all too familiar experience of having to cancel plans you have because it feels like your mind and body are at war against you. Chronic pain makes you feel powerless over it all and anxious thoughts of whether things will ever be different keep creeping into your head. You’ve tried every way to distract yourself so you don’t have to sit with this uncomfortable anxiety and yet nothing seems to work. On top of it all, being told you have to learn to just live with it leaves you feeling like you have to figure it all out on your own. It’s exhausting.

Our work will improve your relationships, communication, self esteem, and sense of overall well being. I believe in the inherent wisdom of clients in the healing process.

I offer a safe place to explore concerns about relationships, parenting, marriage, transition, occupation, separation, depression, stress, and anxiety. I have treated individuals, couples, and families since 1995 specializing in internal families systems, human developments, and treating trauma.

I work with adults age 25 and older who have issues related to binge eating, compulsive overeating, body image, and weight. Many of my patients are also experiencing depression and anxiety.

I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing social difficulties and relationship distress. I especially enjoy working with those who are, or suspect they are, neurodiverse. I also specialize in supporting partners, especially male/male identifying, who have experienced intimate partner betrayal or issues related to intimacy and communication. If you struggle to feel understood or become frustrated when trying to understand others, we can work together to find new ways of understanding and communicating. If you find yourself struggling to cope with intimate partner betrayal we can work together to find your new path forward.

I am so excited that you are interested in finding out more about therapy! Undertaking therapy is a way to show kindness to yourself, a way to identify beliefs that may no longer serve you. I have seen firsthand what a difference therapy can make in my own life and in the lives of my clients. Consider self-talk, for example. What we tell ourselves day in and day out has a direct effect on how we experience our lives. We take our assumptions for the truth. Our thoughts affect the way we feel and the way we behave. Understanding this is an important starting point for therapy.
