Adlerian Therapists in Sammamish, WA

I don't believe that the ideal client exists. Therapy is for everyone. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, and would love to work with larger-bodied clients on building and growing self-compassion, and self-esteem, working toward an attitude of fat liberation, and reinforcing the knowledge that all bodies are deserving of love and respect.

Welcome. I apply my 37 plus years of experience to assist adults, adolescents, and children who are seeking happier, better balanced lives. My approach is accepting, hopeful, creative, and sometimes humorous. I use different techniques according to my client's needs, preferences and age. I am influenced by Positive Psychology and Adlerian Psychology. Within this framework, sessions may include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, play, art, and the exploration of existential themes. I use an Adlerian approach to child / family therapy. This approach is the basis of the popular "Positive Discipline" series.

Sometimes in life we all need a “companion on the journey,” someone to partner with us and help make sense of our experience, ease our pain, and support our goals. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe environment where individuals can identify their strengths, recognize unhelpful patterns, and live into their goals. Working from an integrative, client-centered approach, I seek to support individuals wherever they are on their journey and my approach is holistic, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I value cultural humility and look forward to working with people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

My goal is to help rehabilitate and uplift 1,000 people through therapeutic treatment, online psychoeducation, and my workbooks. Yogananda said it best, “A person who has reformed themselves will reform thousands.” Currently, I am working in private practice treating kids as young as 8 to adult clients for trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal issues. I use many modalities in treatment including CBT, DBT, attachment theory, interpersonal outcomes method, boundaries, mindfulness, meditation, art therapy, and lifespan integration.

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.

Everyone needs hope. We despair and turn to alcohol, food, shopping, sex and the infinite screen to fill our void. We think we know what we want: intimacy, confidence, inner peace and a sense of achievement. We want to matter. We are tortured at times by self doubt implanted by past traumas. I offer a secure place to be yourself to unravel your secrets, fears, shame and guilt. I have 26 years post-doctoral clinical experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I view human problems from a social systemic perspective addressing the individual and their social context.

I work to create a safe and trustworthy relationship with young adults, adult individuals, and partnerships in all areas of distress or life transition. My lifelong passion for story fuels my desire to know you and discover your unique manner of relating to and being in the world. In the face of struggles inherent to the human condition, we all develop creative coping strategies. Those strategies, while useful for a time, all too often end up becoming patterns that limit our ability to live the lives we envision for ourselves.

The complex experience of being human can leave us feeling exhausted, numb, discouraged, fearful and hopeless at times. I work with my clients to find clarity and hope by helping them connect to their values to take steps towards meaningful change. Therapy can be a space to explore different parts of yourself and cultivate a tool box of skills to help you effectively cope with the challenges life can bring. I approach therapy with openness, compassion, and utilize evidence based practices to guide my work. I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults.

You may be seeking relief from feeling overwhelmed and physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Traumatic events, grief/loss, family conflict, work problems and adjusting to the pressures difficult life transitions may be causing anxiety, depression and inability to manage stress making daily life a struggle. I offer tools for short term symptomatic relief while we work together on long term sustainable healing and wellness goals. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership of discovery where guided by you in a place of safety and respect, my job is to facilitate your innate ability to heal and move forward.

Whether you feel deeply stuck in a dark place, or just need a boost to get back to enjoying life again, I will provide focused, caring attention, utilize my expertise to respectfully offer suggestions, and make a step-by-step plan. I specialize in treating trauma (with a range of proven approaches); most commonly with sexual assault survivors, childhood abuse, and vicarious trauma. I also work with most anxiety and mood disorders, stress management, and life transitions.

Hi there and welcome! My name is Hanna Maple. I am so excited that you are here! I feel so honored to be a consideration in your mental health journey. :) As we navigate through life's many paths, we often encounter barriers to relationships with others and ourselves. Regardless of the situation, I am here to support you, listen to you, and help you reach your goals. You are not alone!

Life is complicated and we are all products of our upbringing, life experiences, and personal coping mechanisms. We are aware of some of these mechanisms and others, we are not. Whether it is a temporary set-back or a chronic condition, helping to uncover what lays beyond our consciousness and how that affects our thoughts, feelings, and behavior is a process that will lead to greater well-being, increased self-awareness, and fulfilling personal potential. I will work to understand your worldview, current constraints, existing resources and strengths, and apply an integrative theoretical approach.

I offer the following specialties: spiritual and cultural exploration, trauma healing, emotion regulation, career counseling, gender and sex identity exploration, stress and anxiety reduction, and mindfulness meditation, death planning and acceptance (among others!). I’m proud to work with clients from all cultural backgrounds, religions, and am LGBTQ-allied.
