Experiencing trauma, loss, or upheaval is destabilizing and isolating. It can erode the relationships we value the most while making us call into question our sense of identity. Even if we avoid consciously thinking about it, the imprint of our past can wreak havoc on our physical health, our nervous system, and our present experience. The healing process asks us tune into our intuition and our bodies so that we can notice which parts of ourselves most need our attention and care. I can offer tools and support for those seeking to regain a sense of safety and connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.

At times the hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion brought on by life's challenges leaves us stuck or acting ineffectively, unable to determine our best next steps. During these times it can useful to have a guide, someone to help us identify our options, discover opportunities, provide tools for overcoming obstacles, and offer support as we heal and grow. This is my role as a therapist.

Deciding to begin therapy takes courage. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to growth and change. As your therapist, I work to create a space in which you are free to be yourself more fully. I will work closely with you to understand yourself and your life on a deep level. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and behaviors, working to uncover what is often out of our awareness, and patterns in our lives. This process can feel daunting and unsettling, requiring patience and perseverance, but can lead to symptom relief and meaningful change.

We all go through challenges in life that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Choosing to find someone who can assist you through this time is a great gift to yourself and those that love you. An important part of this process is finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with and can trust. I provide a safe and supportive environment to work on these issues together and to find a better understanding around how to make positive change in your life. I offer space to explore your issue and also practical feedback around changes that could positively influence the issue at hand.

I am a Relational Art Therapist. I graduated from Antioch University - Seattle in 2020 and I have been in private practice since then. I have been working with older teens and adults who have mental and physical disabilities for over 13 years. I focus on empowering clients through a strength-based approach and existential theory. I specialize in working with transgender and non-binary individuals as well as the wider LGBTQIA+ community. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who identify as neuro-divergent (including ADHD) and/or on the Autism spectrum. I am a poly-friendly, body positive, and BDSM/kink knowledgeable.

I value being real and supportive at the same time. I love what I do as a therapist and believe in being safe, trusting and accepting, no matter what may come! My office is (ever so slightly) cluttered and often gets the term "homey & comfortable" Dogs are welcome as well, due to their positive therapeutic benefit for their people (owners, minders & guardians). I value humor (when appropriate...granted, that's open to interpretation, right??!!) and use it as the situation arises, as in a give-and-take dynamic relationship. Life-long gamer & D&D geek, btw. :)

Finding a therapist can feel a lot like swiping through dating apps trying to find the right fit. You want to work with someone who gets you and is thoughtful and easy to talk to. That's how I work. I work with individuals and couples in a warm, attachment based approach. I'm here to help you heal old patterns, vent, or whatever you need. We can figure out the traps you fall into, cry, and laugh for 50 minutes. I'm not here to judge you or tell you how to live your life, just to support you in living authentically.

It is essential to have a counselor that you feel comfortable with and is your "best fit" counselor. I provide a warm, authentic and non-judgmental environment where you can face challenges and work through difficulties while receiving genuine support. My approach to counseling is collaborative, compassionate, identity-affirming, culturally informed, relational and strengths based. I believe in giving you the time and attention you deserve and offer high quality care in a compassionate, supportive and culturally responsive environment to help you gain insight and live a healthier and happier life.

From struggling to THRIVING. Become more fully "yourself." Enjoy relationship satisfaction. Strengthen connection to something bigger that is meaningful. Get relief from depression and anxiety (really!). Improve effectiveness at work. Feel more at home in your body, content. Mindful and present. LAUGH. Choosing a therapist that is both really good AND a great fit is important. There is a difference here you will experience from the get go. The office is in a 1930's Cape Cod style house...inviting & comfortable. With warmth and character. David is unusually relational and "real." Sessions are 60, 75 or 90 minutes rather than 50.

I am Dr. Kathy Marshack, psychologist and author. My credentials go back decades including a Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Doctorate in Psychology. I've trained with the best too.

You can overcome your emotional difficulties and become your best self. Change the things about yourself that you want to change and move toward becoming the person that you want to be. The secret of making lasting change is to acknowledge and accept that real change takes time and patience. There is no magic wand, change takes work, and commitment. It doesn’t matter where you are, what matters is where you can grow. Begin your journey toward wellness and strength by taking the first step.

Sometimes we just need someone who is not involved with our situation with to listen and provide us with an unbiased professional opinion. We may need some extra help making a difficult decision or may need to learn new strategies to manage a mental health or substance abuse condition of either ourselves or that of a loved one. My goal is to provide you with a professional and trusting environment to address your issues. You may believe that your problems are too shameful to talk about and that you are hopeless. There is hope. EMDR trained. Exclusively online.

When you are looking for a therapist you want someone who will listen, and who will hear your story without passing judgment. Once your story is told you hope your therapist can help you look at your situation from some different perspectives, and help you identify the limiting filters that you may use to view your world, so that you have more choices and possibilities in confronting and moving through tough times.
