"Overwhelmed with racing thoughts, responsibilities, having to deal with other people, or life in general? Exploring how counseling can help is a brave step! Change is an ongoing process that can be challenging and exhausting. I help you navigate this progression while creating a safe and supportive space to explore and create new ways to transform the areas you have trouble with."

"We all encounter situations that feel overwhelming and test our coping abilities. I see therapy as a collaborative process that will help you navigate the challenges and transitions that life presents. I offer a safe, supportive environment to talk about issues that can be difficult to discuss elsewhere. Together we will explore how certain thoughts, behavior patterns, and past experiences might be contributing to your difficulties. We will identify your strengths and figure out effective coping strategies to create positive changes in your life. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and couples."

"Welcome everyone to my practice!! I have been working with children, teens, families and couples since 2001 at non-profit agencies and private practice here in the Seattle area . I specialize in family relational issues, adolescent struggles, crisis interventions, loss and grief issues, depression, anxiety and fears, and general unhappiness and desire for growth. With my experience and education I have been able to hone my skills to create what I believe to be a positive, caring atmosphere necessary for the growth and change that can occur in a therapy session."

"Sometimes it is really hard to persist. Making change or accepting reality can be confusing. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary. With empathy and an anti-oppression approach, I can help you examine what's holding you back, listen for pieces of your story you may have forgotten, and support you in regaining self-confidence and perspective. I specialize in working people who move through the world differently: queer and trans folks, agender/asexual folks, poly & non-monogamous folks, neurodiverse folks especially HSPs (highly sensitive people), and others. PLEASE NOTE: APOLOGIES; I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE ON NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME."

"I believe in empowerment and expanding our strengths, which we may not always know we have. The therapeutic process can be difficult and I strive to provide a safe space for comfort, insight, and positive changes to occur. Each session is structured around your needs--your personal experiences and how you choose to express them are what make these sessions unique from others. You should not feel as if you have to struggle alone or come up with the solutions by yourself. I will help guide you through this journey to achieve the emotional well-being you deserve."

"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."

"My work is designed to bridge the gap between your desired experience and your current experience. You can begin to feel--and live--differently starting with the first session. Through our work together you gain a sense of connection to your true desires and the energy to create the life you really want. Rather than just talking about something, you will have the opportunity to experience something different that then extends to daily life. My practice combines modern nueroscience with ancient healing arts and somatic psychology. I believe it's the tailored combination of creative approaches that achieves your goals."

"In my experience, things can start getting better fast, long before the problem is solved. Rated in the top 1% of psychotherapists on LinkedIn, I'm warm, practical, experienced & hard-working. I'll help you tackle problems related to trauma, difficult childhoods, bad bosses, relationships of all sorts that just don't work well, and the distress of having repeated disappointments in life. I'm interested in helping make real change, and not just developing interesting insights (although they can be useful too.)"

"You may feel unhappy or stuck in relationships because others don't seem to understand you. My groups are "process" groups. In a process group, we talk about the feelings that come up during the group time. This lets group members get an honest reflection of their behavior from their peers, rather than something watered down by a therapist. This is a great way to build what I call "Emotional Muscle." With Emotional Muscle, you gain more self-control. You still feel your feelings, but you choose how you respond. Some people call this the ability to "self-soothe.""

"Are you struggling in your romantic relationships? Does it sometimes feel like the two of you are deeply in love, and other times you can't understand each other at all? Couples therapy can help you learn more about yourself and your partner, and teach you new ways to interact and connect. By exploring the past and the present, couples therapy can uncover old patterns you are unconsciously repeating with your partner, and I can coach you through new behaviors that will strengthen the bond between you."

"My counseling approach is based on the unique needs of the individual. Whether you are struggling with a specific issue, or a more general feeling of being "stuck," my goal as your counselor is to help you navigate these challenges so that you can create the life you want to live. Together, we will determine how therapy can be most useful for you. We will identify goals that align with your values and work to develop the tools that will help you to reach your desired changes."

"I see the therapeutic journey as a process rather than a destination. As such, every experience--whether "good" or "bad" is useful for one's transformation. With this as our pole star, life can again become exciting and spontaneous and can overflow with vitality; one regains authorship of one's own life--true creativity. Therapy should aid in the lifting of depression so that one one can rejoin the flow of one's life. It should begin to infuse the smallest moments with meaning while equipping and empowering one with practical tools to carry on this work beyond the therapeutic hour."

"My practice focuses on helping children, teens and adults address chronic issues. I work primarily with individuals who are experiencing mood issues or concerns, including depression, anxiety or recurring negative thinking. I also have considerable experience in helping families who are struggling with behavioral and/or communication issues and working directly with teens who need additional support."

"I believe therapy is a powerful component of self-care and self-love. I often work with folks who have experienced acute trauma, secondary trauma, and/or traumas of oppression and marginalization. Symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and general feelings of stuckness can result from those trauma injuries. The work I do is all about addressing those symptoms and that trauma in a powerful and embodied way so it's no longer holding you back from doing the important work you're here to do."

"I have an internet-based practice using the "WECounsel" portal for video sessions. My practice focusses on assessment & treatment of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Spectrum, Work & Life Issues, Family Problems. I enjoy seeing both adults and adolescents. I start with a full evaluation of your concerns so that important issues are not overlooked. This information allows us to work together to prioritize your concerns. I have a warm interactive style that many people prefer because I believe it is helpful to share my impressions and experience with you. In this way we can develop a collaborative process and work as a team together."

"If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or down I want to help you discover a new way of living which can help you form a different type of relationship with yourself and the world around you. Together, we can work toward you becoming more intentional, present, open, and connected to your values, which will in turn help you to lead a more full and meaningful life."

"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."

"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 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!"

"My work is focused on assessment, diagnosis, and brief, solution focused psychotherapy."
