Therapists in King County, WA

As of 12/15/23 I am currently taking new patients via Zoom. Late afternoon and evening appointments available.

I specialize in adults with health related issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I believe in putting every client at ease so that we can build upon your strengths, uncover areas of challenge and patterns that are no longer serving you, while working toward your goals. I specialize in anxiety, stress management, life transitions, identity exploration, pregnancy, parenting, depression, grief, loss, trauma, infertility and third party reproduction, and chronic illness. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and couples experiencing infertility because of my own experience with it, which led me to pursue additional postgraduate training and supervision.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, or wondering if your relationship with food is healthy. You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, or even from yourself. I offer a space to explore and process these experiences, to learn skills to help you cope, and to have a partner alongside you as you figure it out. I believe the relationship I build with my clients is important, because making sure you feel accepted, safe and heard matters.

Many of us feel unprepared to deal with the stressors, transitions and difficulties that occur throughout our lives. I have many years of experience helping people traverse these issues and develop the tools to cope and to thrive in the face of these challenges. I will work with you to examine the underlying issues that have led you to therapy and support your efforts to make meaningful changes in your life. I offer a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, while helping you push toward a deeper understanding of the patterns driving your behaviors, choices and relationships.

You want to appear confident and like you have it all together, but deep down, you struggle to get it all done and stay connected to the present moment. You may be fed up with the constant battle of proving yourself, feeling anxious you are missing something, or preoccupied with pleasing others. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel connected and enjoy the NOW. You’re ready to smile and laugh again. Most of all, you’re ready to take charge of your life and no longer be controlled by anxiety and grief.

You might be feeling disconnected, exhausted, holding it together and want to live more authentically. I’m a therapist for children, families and women who struggle with Anxiety, Life Transitions or the impacts of trauma, Autism or ADHD. I'll help you recognize limiting beliefs to shift your mindset. I've gone through painful stuff and you won't feel judged by me. Together, we will process feelings, identify your strengths, needs &obstacles. My hope is that therapy can help you bring awareness, compassion, embrace who you are, give you space to focus on growth, engage in deep healing or a maintenance plan to reach your goals.

Unbridled Counseling helps clients find growth through multiple approaches to therapy. We offer traditional talk therapy, equine therapy, telehealth, and outdoor therapy. I have a special interest in eating disorders, infertility, pre and post natal care, anxiety, depression, and relationships. We also offer lower cost/sliding scale sessions with graduate level interns to reach more of our community. Our interns treat families, couples, kids, teens, and adults with a variety of topics and specialties.

Welcome. In my practice I see individual adults as well as children and families. The essential elements of therapy are compassion and deep understanding. As your therapist, my intention is to meet you where you are and go with you on your journey. My hope is that you will feel safe to express all of what you're feeling, that we can explore these feelings with compassion, and discover what can be understood. I will use my knowledge, training, and all that I've learned from my patients to help you negotiate the crossroads and crisis points in your life.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or are you having difficulty in your relationship? I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from counseling at one point or another. I aim to create a safe environment, where my clients can feel heard and respected as we work together to identify your personal values and move towards a life that reflects those values. When working with couples, my goal is to help resolve painful conflicts and help you and your partner to build a rich and meaningful relationship, with increased intimacy, connection, and understanding.

My approach to therapy is supportive and empathetic.I believe the most important element of therapy is the genuine connection between the client and therapist. Each client has unique needs and my goal is to meet each client where they are in their process of self awareness and healing. Therefore I utilize a variety of modalities such as CBT, ACT and Mindfulness. I see psychotherapy as a joint collaboration between therapist and client and strive to empower each client in their journey of inner exploration, mental, spiritual and physical healing.

Therapy is for all of us, but what it means and how it works is unique to each of us. While we share much in common, we all carry experiences, beliefs, dreams, and fears that are ours alone. They give us our distinct perspectives. They shape our present and future, often in surprising ways. I tailor my therapeutic approach to suit what makes you uniquely you. I like to explore how our pasts shape our current experience. I focus on our relationships, as our attachments often are a driving force in how we go about our daily lives.

Anxiety/depression, PTSD/trauma, peri-post partum issues, fertility struggles, life/work transitions, relationship challenges, and grief counseling are my primary areas of work. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Lifespan Integration to help resolve trauma and painful memories causing your anxiety and depression. I utilize Gottman andEmotionally Focused Therapy in my work with couples.

Janet Arthur is a psychotherapist, who has been practicing since 2009. She graduated from Northwest University with Master's in Counseling Psychology. Janet believes in person-center, humanistic philosophy to care. She uses cognitive-behavioral, acceptance commitment, solution and emotion-focused therapeutic modalities in therapy. Her main areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. In her spare time, Janet enjoys being outdoors - hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, and kayaking. Her happy place is being on the beach. Janet is passionate about psychology and helping people to heal and thrive.

My professional experience includes therapy with children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families who have sought help with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, behavioral issues, difficulty with emotion regulation and emotional expression, social deficits, issues related to educational or occupational functioning, relationship issues and difficulty communicating. I work from a LGBTQ+ affirming, racially equitable and feminist framework to provide clients with the support they need and deserve.

I am passionate about helping people to promote well-being and to manage emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms. I enjoy using psychological theories and mind-body interventions to help children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds to improve their physical and mental health. I have helped people to reach their physical health goals, heal from trauma, make career and life transitions, grow in marriages and relationships, and build mood and anxiety management tools. My sessions focus on sharing information and skills to address your unique needs and life circumstances. We will develop a treatment plan together.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

Contrary to what movies show you about therapy, I won’t give you unwanted advice or simply nod solemnly the whole session. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, free expression, and movement to join with my clients and help them explore what healing means to them. I hope to empower clients to access their natural abilities and to gently disrupt the unhealthy patterns we humans often get stuck in using more than traditional “talk therapy” approach. My goal is to facilitate somatic healing, so your whole body begins to feel better as you gain new awareness and get “unstuck” from the patterns you’re ready to release.

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth. I enjoy having the chance to walk alongside people through all types of challenges and triumphs as a willing listener who can provide empathy, a non-judgmental view on current and past experiences, and support to work towards meeting goals.
