Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Seattle, WA

The first step to healing is recognizing that you need support reaching your desired emotional and mental wellness. Choosing a therapist you can connect with is critical to successful treatment. When working with clients, I use a non-judgmental collaborative approach while receiving authentic validation of life struggles and also encouraging clients to move toward change and healing. My expertise includes helping client process loss, navigating through life stressors, and adjusting to life transitions.

When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, obsessive thoughts, avoidant behavior, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and helpless. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, find yourself in a state of hypervigilence due to trauma and/or frozen by fears and uncertainty, you CAN find your way out - sometimes we just need some extra support to do so.

My practice focuses on working with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, adjustment challenges, or communication difficulties. My clients may be struggling with relationship issues, a major life transition, such as divorce or other family changes, or the death of a loved one. Other clients may face the ongoing challenges of living with depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or trauma. My emphasis is on assisting all of my clients to find hope, direction, and a better path forward, using their own inherent strengths. You deserve to feel supported and empowered.

Sometimes you don’t know why, but you recognize you are more stressed than usual, worrying more, taking more risks, withdrawing from activities, or aren’t as present in relationships as you’d like to be. Sometimes you know why, but you don’t know what to do about it. Sometimes you know what to do about it, but you find yourself stuck. Regardless of where you might fall on this continuum, we can find a path forward together. I work 1-on-1 with young adults and adults struggling with alcohol and/or drugs, mental health, and co-occurring disorders. I have a particular interest in working with people struggling with substance misuse.

As a therapist my goal is to help individuals to create positive environments where they can learn and build from their strengths to thrive. You are your life expert; I want to help you reach goals by tailoring interventions that can help you achieve those goals.

We all go through rough patches in life, but sometimes we just need a listening ear, need to talk and not feel judged, and/or just need a safe space to cry at times. I want to offer you that safe space and be that listening ear for you. Let's work together to find the tranquility that you deserve!

Are you burdened with feelings of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness? Do you have intrusive, terrifying thoughts or feel compelled to perform rituals that you know don't make sense? I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is very common, affecting one in 40 individuals. I am highly trained in using exposure and response prevention, an evidence based treatment proven to help sufferers. I understand this complex and largely misunderstood disorder, and I also support family members, who frequently experience frustration, confusion, and pain while not knowing how to help their loved one

I believe in the importance of providing a therapeutic environment that is safe, supportive and non-judgmental. As a therapist, I am actively involved helping clients explore issues to gain insight, identify strengths, and learn effective coping skills. Additionally, I work to be genuine, accepting and empathic, because my experience has been clients are more successful with making healthy changes when these factors are present. I work with a range of clinical issues including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relationship difficulties and addiction. I am experienced working with diverse ethnic, racial, and socio-economic clients.

I offer intervention and assessment services for people with cognitive (memory, attention) difficulties, traumatic brain injury, strokes, and other chronic health conditions. I aim to help people understand their personal strengths and use tailored coping tools to improve their lives. I offer evidence-based therapy interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy focused on coping with health conditions, pain, and changes in physical abilities linked to injury, illness, and aging. I also offer learning disability, ADHD, and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. I work with teenagers and adults (ages 12 and up).

In my therapy practice, I help people embrace their challenges with compassion and awareness, and move toward personal growth and valued living. My practice is rooted in evidence-based principles, drawing upon my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. I value person-centered care and tailor the therapy to fit the specific needs of my clients. I help people suffering from anxiety, depression, insomnia, trauma, life stress, life transitions, and relationships.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I have spent a great deal of time collaborating with clients to cultivate a tailored experience to provide a well-rounded scope for LPC Associates. I'm all for sharing my knowledge and expertise with my associates. In order to achieve this, a wide variety of assessments, scales, modules, and life lessons stay in rotation. Along with having proper communication, concern, & consideration for one another, supervision will be a pleasant relievable moment.

Many clients come to therapy for multiple reasons; most clients are seeking when the "anxiety" is too much to endure. I provide therapy for individuals-(children, adolescents and adults), couples, and facilitate process groups. I also am a multicultural educator. I help individuals cope with mechanisms that will help find ways to make different choices and re-invent ourselves; so we then become the architect, the planner and the builder of our lives, throughout our lives. I provide workshops and presentations that deal with undoing multiple oppressions in both queer and communities of color.

I specialize in severe trauma, sexual abuse, and relationship issues. I am LGBTQ+, kink, and non-monogamy friendly.

I provide counseling for adults, older adults, and families caring for loved ones with dementia. I have over 30 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, family conflict, stress-related concerns, help with personal and life transitions and behaviors related to dementia. I can help you to create and practice effective communication for positive relationships, develop new coping skills for life transitions, and help with conflict management and family dilemmas.

My practice focuses on youth & young adults ages 12-35. I'm especially passionate about working with BIPOC individuals. As a member of the BIPOC community, ensuring a safe, supportive space & practices that are culturally competent is a priority for me. I have several years of experience working with individuals who’ve struggled with acute & complex trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD & ASD, and gender/sexuality exploration. My clinical skills are rooted in trauma-informed practices utilizing evidence-based principles from CBT, CPT, PE, Motivational Interviewing & Collaborative Problem Solving.

My clients are high achievers by nature. They often come to me because their depression and/or anxiety symptoms are being amplified by a present stressor like climbing the corporate ladder, entering their first job out of college, or making career transitions. Anxiety and depression sometimes manifest in my clients' relationships with significant others and family. Some may even be experiencing imposter syndrome. While I do facilitate the therapy process, my clients drive the sessions. Together, our therapeutic endeavor is to help you achieve your goals.

Queer, Latina, bilingual (Spanish-speaking) therapist, welcoming LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Are you looking for a mental health service where all the different parts of you are explored? Though traditional talk therapy can be helpful, oftentimes a more broad approach will allow you to heal from past traumas and current life stressors, to be able to enjoy life again. Treatment is never one size fits all, I believe in a broad, person-centered therapeutic approach.

I have a deep passion for working with adolescent and adult men on issues like anxiety & depression, self-esteem, self-confidence, relationships, boundaries, and meeting one's needs. How I operate as a therapist is by making the therapeutic relationship priority number one. By developing and fostering a meaningful alliance between client and therapist, we can then confidently be collaborative, creative, and insightful about helping you meet your needs in your life.

I work with people in their 20s and 30s who are navigating the transitions and tasks of early adulthood such as moves, breakups, career issues, and processing past traumas; teens dealing with the pressures of highschool; and parents who want to decrease conflict and improve their relationships with their kids. I also help people process past experiences of living in residential treatment settings, especially "troubled teen industry" survivors.
