Therapists in Sequim, WA

I believe we are all creatures who seek deep meaning in our lives, through our desires, longings, joys, fears, sufferings and losses. We are also created for connection with others, and while these relationships have the potential to bring great joy, they may also bring great pain and struggle. Whether from relational discord or brokenness, or due to other circumstances in life, we can often fall into questioning, doubt and suffering, which can lead us to feeling stuck and overwhelmed in our lives. I offer a warm and supportive environment, where together we may address the areas of concern that you bring.

My usual client is an adult seeking positive change and is willing to do introspective work to get there. I do clinical work like treatment of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. I also help clients with communications, relationships, and boundary issues. My "niches" include young adults who are experiencing difficulty launching, LGBTQIA+ folks, creatives like authors and songwriters, and corporate workers (especially high tech, I’m a former Microsoftie) from small to large corporations. I am kink- and polyamory-affirming and work with couples and polycules. I have many nerd clients (I'm one too).

As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

We often place pressure on ourselves to be okay, to power through, and to be strong. Yet we all encounter times when we need extra care and support. You may be navigating a major life transition, experiencing anxiety or overwhelm, or feeling stuck and unsure how to make a change. Asking for help is a sign of remarkable strength. You deserve support, and to feel the power and relief of being seen and accepted just as you are. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself, deepen your self-awareness and understanding, and uncover ways to move forward.

Seeking counseling is a responsible way to take care of what matters most. As Toni Morrison told us, "It's good when you've got a woman who is a friend of your mind." I welcome diverse clients navigating many situations and specialize in recovery and post-traumatic growth from narcissistic abuse, misuse, and relational or social trauma. I also focus on loss, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustments to changes, life stages, and the promises and pitfalls of pursuing an authentic creative life.

I work primarily with individuals who feel bound in aversion toward themselves. Whether concerns manifest as self-hatred, shame, relational difficulties, terminal regret, questions around spirituality, depression, anxiety, or in any number of other ways, I wholeheartedly trust there is more to the story than meets the eye. I support our exploration by opening a receptive and creative space for truths that might not feel at home elsewhere. As we shift painful thought patterns out of isolation and into dialogue between two minds, new and surprising truths emerge. These can form the basis for new peace and possibilities.

PEAK Psychological Wellness is a group practice that provides culturally responsive individual therapy and psychological evaluation. As a Latina counselor, I wholeheartedly value identity, intersectionality, and autonomy as fundamental to the therapeutic process. I believe that therapy provides us with the opportunity to express ourselves to the fullest extent without fear of judgment or retaliation. My goal as a therapist is to create an affirming space for you to explore difficult feelings by harnessing your strengths and honoring your boundaries, all while providing and receiving constructive feedback along the way.

I specialize in individual, couples and family therapy. I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression, self worth and how a physical/mental disability may affect your perception of yourself in the world. I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world. I have currently added a unique twist to my practice by offering in-home therapy to new moms, families or anyone that has difficulties with transportation.

Are current events triggering feelings of worry and despair? Perhaps past traumas are coming up for review? Are you experiencing a shift in what really, deeply matters to you? I would love to help you reflect, sort out, and heal. I offer teletherapy sessions (audio, visual) to clients in Washington State in the comfort of your own home. I enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety and panic, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. Specialties include working with health care professionals, including physicians, with stress and work-related trauma.

Modern life is challenging! There is always opportunity to reimagine and live a healthier, more fulfilling life. My passion is partnering with others in mindful exploration and growth, overcoming the barriers that keep them from envisioning and creating their best life. I work with adults struggling with many issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, grief, chronic illness, and achieving personal and professional goals.

Struggling with a sense of disconnection from oneself and others, placing personal needs last on the to-do list, and questioning whether life could be more fulfilling or joyful are common feelings. Nowadays, many individuals are experiencing anxiety, feeling swamped, and facing uncertainty about managing their relationships, careers, and overall lives. Neglecting one's needs and not allocating time for self-care can result in enduring problems for both mental and physical health. It is my belief that living a better life shouldn't be this difficult.

Do you experience emotions you just can’t think your way out of?! Do you struggle to believe in yourself? Do you wonder if you’re really seen by those you love? How nice would it be to find relief from bothersome emotions, have belief in self, and feel like you belong? I’m here to explore these possibilities with you.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

I am a relational depth-centered therapist who specializes in anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping people, especially women, grow and heal. I utilize psychoanalytic, Internal Family Systems, ecotherapy, and person-centered methods. My approach is both practical and deep, exploring coping skills that work best for you to manage your everyday life, as well as connecting your past to your present to get to the root of the issue. It is a joy to be able to walk alongside individuals and watch their brain’s profound ability to change through the process of therapy.

Each individual faces challenges as they learn to navigate life and find their place in the world. At times, these obstacles may feel like Mt. Everest and impossible to overcome. Issues may arise such as trouble with concentrating, lack of motivation, perfectionism, social issues, academic struggles, anxiety, depression, and sometimes addiction. All of which may be overwhelming to a person. People need a "neutral party," someone they can talk to, in confidence, to discuss and work through issues. Having a therapists offers a safe place to share, feel accepted, and understood.

As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LH61170692), I work with adult and adolescent clients 11+ to identify and create positive life changes. My approach to counseling is brief, strength-based, and solution-focused, my style, active, collaborative, and client-centered. Founded on the principles of positive psychology, my strength-based, solution-focused counseling model consists of three phases: (1) Clarification of the problem the client wants to resolve; (2) Identification of the solution to the client’s problem; and (3) implementation of solution-strategies to create positive changes.

Suffering and difficult times can be catalysts for profound change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, or feeling stuck, you can experience a greater capacity for change, curiosity, connection, and life satisfaction. In therapy we'll address the symptoms you're experiencing, develop coping skills and tools for better living, and work to understand how you ended up where you are today. Additionally, we'll explore the root of your struggles in order to understand why you do the things you do, feel the way you do, and think the way you do as a way to create lasting change and transformation in your life.
