Compassion Focused Therapists in Everett, WA

We are accepting new clients. Hi, I'm Kirsten and I have experience with adults and teens impacted by depression and anxiety. I provide support for folks experiencing challenges such as self esteem, identity issues, career challenges, and relationship difficulties. My approach includes strength based, attachment based, and family systems work, as these interventions validate existing strengths while unlearning thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve us. I utilize interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, compassion focused therapy, among others.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping you find relief from trauma. A trauma history may mean you have PTSD or C-PTSD but it can also show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, struggles with attachment and trust, emotional difficulties, chronic shame, and more. I believe in collaborating with you to provide trusted and knowledgeable care that will help to give you a sense of direction in your trauma recovery with your unique experiences and goals.

At certain points in life you will be presented with challenges that temporally overwhelm your ability to cope. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic distress and other emotional and interpersonal problems are common responses to being overwhelmed.

I am often described as warm, open, and that I provide a safe place to explore complex or difficult emotions. I enjoy working with people who are struggling to find the motivation or tools needed to make the changes they hope to see in their lives. I am here to help you learn how to listen to, respond to, and advocate for your values and emotions. I have a passion for working with caregivers, people wanting to develop self-compassion, or integrating their nature-based sptituality into therapy. You deserve to build a life that is fulfilling and beautiful. As your counselor, I want to support you in embracing your favorite self!

Are you struggling to manage a pattern of uncomfortable emotions that stem from a difficult life situation you were unable to resolve? You may feel stuck and not yet able to understand the root cause of these emotional challenges, how they are impacting you and your relationships, or how to move forward in your life. You may even feel betrayed by those who have tried to help you. You are ready for a full mind-body-soul transformation. You need someone who can give you patient guidance to help you navigate healing. You deserve empathic understanding as you become the most bad-ass version of yourself. Let me humbly help you.

The process of seeking and making the decision to come to therapy can be a challenging one. The state of the world today presents unique challenges for each of us. People are afraid, overwhelmed and "stuck". My hope is to ease some of these concerns around starting our work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship that will aid you in progressing towards your goals. The secure and supportive therapeutic space, which we will create together, will allow you to explore past and present issues where you feel stuck.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult first step. Circumstances can get challenging, overwhelming, or even exhausting. I want you to know that you’ve taken the first step towards healing by seeking therapy. With therapy, we can ease your way into this journey, harnessing your inner strengths and motivating you to create an encouraging plan of change in your life.

I'm thinking you are one of those brave, motivated sorts. Yes, you. Brave for refusing to ignore the pain it takes to get through the day. Strong for wanting change enough to work for it. Motivated in the way you're seeking help. I provide therapy for the motivated - because taking action heals! Over the past 28 years, I've provided mental health interventions to people in crisis, the first 20 years in an Emergency Room working as a Psychiatric Social Worker, and now heading into the eighth year as a trauma and couples therapist. Change is real - and what therapy is all about.

I work with adolescents and young adults from the age of 13 providing support in the areas of anxiety, family and school issues, depression, adjustment, authority, and other issues, which are faced in our changing world. I work closely with families from all background, schools, and community to support clients as they gently work through their areas of healing. Also, as an experienced clinician with broad skills in adjustment, I understand the challenges individuals/families face in transition. As your therapist, I will provide deep support and tools for your emotional health and growth.

I am a proponent of holistic healing - treating the whole person (mind, body, spirit). I enjoy employing creative mediums in the therapeutic process to include symbolic (Jungian), artistic, musical and written expression. There are many constructive ways to channel life's challenges, stressors and traumas. It is imperative to find meaningful, healthy ways to cope. My clinical background is diverse and has included work with teens and adults in the area of trauma and addiction. Additionally, I have many years of experience working with individuals and families contending with various physical and/or developmental disabilities.

We are accepting new clients. My name is David Woldtvedt. Much of my clinical experience has involved working with adults, teens, and their families impacted by addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, anxiety, mood disorders, and adverse childhood experiences. As a practitioner I aim to build a relationship with each of my clients that involves the foundational elements of meeting individuals where they are at, developing trust, and displaying unconditional positive regard.

Do you struggle with the basics of day to day functioning? Do you feel like you live in a world designed to hinder you at every step? Are you looking to find ways to improve your functioning and create systems and habits designed to help project you forward? Across the wide variety of diagnosis these are things that many people struggle with. I offer a safe space to explore the dysfunctions you are experiencing and work with you to create a mindset and a life you feel good in, a space in life you feel like you can grow and succeed to meet other non therapeutic goals.

I use a variety of techniques and modalities to explore and restore energy and your focus in life. Please reach out if you are feeling lost, empty or are in need of support. "You are enough".

Hi! At Alona Wellness Center, we recognize the value, strength, and resilience of all those we serve. We honor differences in individuals, communities, cultures, and populations.

After 5pm appointments are FULL; daytime appointments available. Hello! I work with adolescents and adults both in-person (my office is located in Everett), as well as throughout WA state through telehealth. I specialize in working with anxiety, eating disorders, childhood trauma, chronic illness, depression, professional burnout, suicidal thoughts, self harm behaviors, and those who may be exploring their queer and/or gender identity and expression. Some clients also come to me for general emotional support or want an outside perspective on a situation that is impacting their life.

My approach to counseling uses a person-centered perspective with a focus on hope, strength, and empowerment. I also use an integrative approach of mindfulness, relaxation, art, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and move forward. They just need some additional support and a person to walk with them. And that is where I come in.

Having issues with generalized anxiety and substance use in the past, I believe that the people who have been there and recovered are the best guides. The formula I use is applying love to hurt. When we find the root cause of Addiction and mood disorders and treat it with compassion, amazing results can be found. I have proven this when I worked at the first Mental Health Urgent Care. I also have extensive experience with trauma, since I am an abuse survivor. I mix and match 10 different therapy approaches in an effort to treat the whole person. Each person is unique and obtains a treatment plan suited to them.
