The world is complex, no matter who you are or what your circumstances may be. Figuring out how to manage the realities of living in this world, in this moment, in this body, is something all of us must do. Whether you are a high school or college student experiencing anxiety or depression; a parent balancing personal, family, and work expectations; an adult going through a transition; or you are simply feeling tired and overwhelmed by the current political, social, and environmental challenges, I can provide helpful support as you move toward a future that reflects your values.

I am a nationally certified school psychologist, education specialist and licensed mental health counselor. I specialize in evaluations for learning disabilities, attention and emotional difficulties, and any other issues affecting a student's functioning and behavior at school and at home. Based on the evaluation I write 504 Plans for accommodations, or make recommendations for an Individual Education Plan. In addition I provide consultation for intervention plans to both families and schools. I also evaluate students for the Highly Capable/Gifted programs, as well as entry into private schools. I work with individuals age 5 to 29, and am proficient in Spanish.

I am a holistic, integrative, person-centered, culturally considerate therapist for adolescents, individuals, partners and families. I am curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I believe communication with yourself and others is at the heart of successful relationships. I also believe that you know what you need to heal and my job is to help you get more in touch with that part of yourself. As an empathetic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation.

Peace and Blessings! I am best suited for clients that are ready to make change on a holistic, level, touching on all issues that contribute to your overall health, including physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Your mind and body's connection is inseparable and must be nurtured and understood. For that reason, I want to help empower you to gain insight into the behavioral and psychological patterns that make it difficult for you to function happily and healthily in life.

Does it feel like your life isn’t working for you? You’ve done everything the way you were supposed to – but you still feel burned out and discontent. Everyone around you thinks you are doing just fine. But on the inside, you feel empty and isolated. In the past, you always pushed through and made things happen (mostly for everybody else). Now, you’re feeling cynical and not good enough. If you are struggling and wanting to feel connected to your values and purpose in life, I can help.

Welcome to my profile. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, panic, acute and chronic stress. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, avoidance, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, chronic illness, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties may be due to unresolved trauma from earlier in life.I utilize newer psychological approaches, such as EMDR, Somatic Transformation, Lifespan Integration, which are designed to change the way your brain processes information. All will involve talking about your feelings, thoughts, images, body sensations and integating conceptual knowledge with emotional and body experience. We may often "target" memories from the past to heal the present and visualize a positive future.

I comprehensively treat individuals and couples with sexual/relationship issues. I address communication/intimacy problems and all sexual concerns, including inhibited or low sexual desire, male erection and female arousal problems, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, vaginismus, lack of orgasm, sexual and emotional skills, sexual "addiction," and sexual trauma. I also fine-tune sex lives. I am a cognitive (CBT) therapist. AASECT and five other national boards certify me as a sex therapist and a sexologist. I help clients get rid of distorted and negative thinking, which has a positive effect on emotions, behaviors and relationships. I assign homework/home-play!

I provide psychotherapy to individuals and families to promote growth and empowerment through supportive listening, mindfulness, and examination of past experiences, allowing clients to cultivate insight and bring about lasting change. I use a collaborative and dynamic approach that incorporates multiple theoretical approaches and techniques to meet both individual and family needs and preferences. I believe that insight alone does not bring about change; rather, we must do something different to become something different. I offer compassion, humor, honesty, and straightforward feedback while I empower individuals and families to explore their own goals and work toward growth and healing.

Have you been harmed by the impacts of racialized violence, by queer and transphobia, by weight stigma, or by any other systems of oppression that permeate the world in which we live? I want to collaborate with you in exploration of your own lived reality and experiences of trauma within the context of your intersecting identities. I will partner with you, and create a space that nourishes an openness into which your lived meanings may emerge in their full richness and complexity. Within the framework of our therapeutic alliance, you will learn ways to decrease the distress associated with the trauma of systemic oppression.

We all find ourselves in circumstances at one time or another that call for adjusting to change or making decisions, whether it's charting a path through grief and loss, developmental transitions, job loss, recovering from trauma or the challenges of parenting. Therapy can be helpful in sorting through confusing thoughts and feelings, gaining insight, establishing a course of action amongst different choices, and building confidence through experiencing a deeper understanding of yourself, all in the context of a caring relationship.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in Seattle’s Madrona neighborhood offering individual, couples and family therapy to adults, adolescents, and their families. I’ve worked as a therapist since 2000 in a variety of settings, including outpatient, group homes, detention centers and intensive outpatient programs. The foundation of my practice is rooted in building a rapport—based on individual connection, trust and mutual respect—with each of my clients. I use an integrative, biopsychosocial approach to develop an understanding of who you are as whole person.

I am an experienced Seattle psychotherapist with a practice in Madrona counseling couples, individuals, including adolescents, and families. I create a supportive, accepting environment for people to regain hope and create positive, lasting changes in their lives. I believe the key to life-altering therapy is an honest, warm and trusting relationship with your therapist - a place both laughter and tears are welcomed. Most of my clients come to therapy to reduce the suffering in their lives, connect better with the people around them, and cultivate passion and purpose. We work together to develop healthier coping skills and relationships and ultimately more contentment and peace.

I look forward to helping you through life's stresses and anxieties. I believe we are all moving through life learning new things and that from time to time we are faced with challenges that may require extra assistance. I am happy to partner with you to find the tools you need to deal with these challenges effectively.  To learn more about me visit my website alpiniacounseling.com

Welcome to KM Therapy LLC. I want to commend you for taking the first step in your journey and considering me as a part of the process. My work is with people who are going through all types of life challenges. Perhaps this something you experience often, or perhaps this is the first time. Maybe you woke up feeling this way and maybe there’s a story behind your disconnect. There is hope and healing is possible. Therapy is process that takes time and energy. It is a process that can create lasting and meaningful change. As you embark on this journey, I will be with you fostering your hope and motivation within you each step.

Do you feel like you're maintaining or surviving, rather than thriving? Maybe you're not sure what the next step is, but you know you want to feel less stress, anxiety, and fear and more peace, joy, and confidence. I believe that many distressing feelings are often responses to a world that tries to tell us who we are and who we should be, through inherited belief systems, culture, relationships, experiences of trauma, and systems of oppression. I love working w/ people to reveal what those stories are, the meanings you've held in them, and how to discover and make space for the self inside you that felt small, boxed in, or stuck.

I work with individuals who have difficulties with mood, anxiety, mental rumination, and obsessiveness. Although these issues are personal, they also effect one's relationships and the ability to fulfill one's deepest longings. Although symptoms will be addressed, I always place one's struggles in context of the whole person and their relationships past and present. I strive to be authentic as a therapist and create space for you and your unique experiences to emerge in a way that builds trust, honesty, and genuine collaboration.

Welcome! I'm the co-founder of Jenn and David, LLP Counseling Services.

As part of the LGBTQ+ community, chances are your story has been impacted by discrimination and harmful theology. Often this leaves us with few safe places to turn to in order to find healing and to discover more deeply the fullness of who we are. The impacts of this kind of trauma show up in the form of depression, anxiety, lack of fulfillment, and difficulty connecting to our own sexuality, as well as to another.
