Coordinated Care Therapists in Mercer Island, WA

My hope for my clients is to help them find the resilience and courage within themselves to bring about positive changes and a greater understanding of self in life transitions, family dynamics, moments of feeling “stuck” or in times of needing self-healing.

Welcome, I am glad you made it! My name is Maxie. I am a clinician inside of Northwest Therapy Group. I have found a love of working alongside individuals who find themselves struggling with finding purpose and identity. Whether you are a new parent working your way back to yourself (or your partner), a teen struggling with depression, anxiety, or finding your sense of self, or maybe you're someone who struggles with grief and loss, I am ready to walk with you through it.

Today you are one step closer to a new you who feels empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a client-centered counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am also a WA State Approved Supervisor.

Welcome! It takes courage to step toward difficult aspects of life. I think we often get stuck and suffer alone in the areas where we need connection the most. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we look at the root of what is causing pain/suffering from our past stories. Often, patterns are cyclical and repeat in the present. Society often neglects what afflicts one's internal world, and we then learn that the norm in life is to be alone in emotional pain. Unprocessed shame is internalized, which in turn shapes how we view ourselves, relationships, and life experiences.

I work with people to help them through hard times. I do all I can to make my clients feel understood, and then we work together to develop and implement techniques to improve their lives. This may mean making it though a change in life, or working to build back to health that has been lost. I try to address every part of my client's life and work to bring them into a fuller expression of themself.

Please be you. Maybe you don't know who that it is. Or you do––and you're not a fan. Either way, you deserve to be the proud narrator of your own life story. As a gay man, I'm all too familiar with masking for social and romantic success. Low self-esteem, social anxiety, and addiction issues are common results when you dislike the sound of your voice. Together, we can bring your inner voice out. I like to use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in offering you tangible tools that act as rose-colored goggles. For who you are today. Let's work on characterization and plot. And let's give your life story a rewrite, if necessary.

Infertility, pregnancy loss and unwanted childlessness impact every part of our lives. Relationships with others, finances, connection to our bodies, dreams for the future - nothing is untouched by this journey. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist Associate, and I am passionate about walking alongside anyone within the infertility and loss community. As a member of this community myself, I am dedicated to holding space for all the complex emotions infertility and loss bring. I use a mix of Narrative therapy, DBT, (and sometimes humor) to foster resilience and hope for the future.

Currently full but can help match Deaf people to therapists. My approach is integrative and primarily informed by EMDR therapy. I prioritize remaining person-centered and trauma informed, which basically just means that our sessions are about you and what you want and that I avoid pathologizing behaviors and feelings that could be the result of a traumatic experience. I look at therapy through a social justice and anti-oppression lens. I believe counseling should offer a safe, non-judgmental opportunity to explore and discover a path to your own place of peace. For Deaf people, my VP # is (206) 829-5104.

Therapy is a positive way to look at life's problems and help you cope effectively. The type of therapy I practice is a blend of Psychodynamic Theory and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This combination gives us access to previous relationships and early life circumstances, while focusing on the here and now issues that are currently of concern to you.

As a systemic therapist and child of immigrants, I am interested in learning about how lived experiences inform perceptions, as well as mental and emotional states. Systemic stressors (such as family conflict, systemic poverty and racism, marginalization, etc.) are often at the root of mental health issues. Many of my clients deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression due to issues ranging from trauma and abuse to imposter syndrome, perfectionism, shame, and lack of self-worth. If you are ready for change, I am here to help.

It can be difficult to reach out for help. I hope to make this easier by providing a warm, inviting experience without unnecessary pressure. I believe in allowing my clients to drive their own healing processes through new insight into their problem areas, and by helping them build skills for lasting results. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have never experienced the benefits of therapy. My clients range in age from 22 through 94.

I seek to provide a supportive space to work with issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship to self, others, and the world. How do you make sense of the world? What holds meaning for you? Is there a way to find more room to breathe? I hope to help navigate the places where you might feel stuck, from a place of connection and genuine investment. Also, I grew up overseas and have an interest in international clients and clients navigating cultural/intergenerational issues.
