Therapists in Seattle, WA

Life is full of challenges. Every day can bring obstacles to face. Add in dealing with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, adjustment disorders, or grief, and life may feel unmanageable. I have worked with children, teens and adults in inpatient crisis stabilization and outpatient settings. I have experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have experience in behavior, peer issues, self-harm, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and conduct disorders.

I welcome you to my practice and want you to know that over many years, I have worked with clients who have suffered from a great variety of issues and who have recovered hope and been able to successfully 'reset' their lives. My clients often feel stuck initially due to possible ADHD, depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disorders, or other addictions, or some combination of these. Through our therapeutic relationship, life skills through DBT work, and new perspectives through CBT work, you will be empowered to create a life worth living.

Currently, I am specializing in relationship issues, self-esteem, and women’s issues. I am skilled in working with anxiety, mood disorders, and complex trauma with all age ranges. My strong suits are empathy and my ability to really understand where someone is coming from, and I use that to develop a positive path forward. Rather than sticking to a particular method, I custom tailor my session to meet the unique needs of each individual. Earlier in my career, I was published in peer-reviewed journals for my research in Clinical Psychology.

In receiving psychotherapy services from me you can expect to be heard, validated, and to learn new skills and strategies to address the problems for which you are seeking treatment. It is my goal to assist you in experiencing symptom relief, achieve your treatment goals, and to return to your desired level of functioning. As your therapist, I want you to to feel good about yourself and to enjoy full participation in your life as quickly as possible.

I provide non-judgmental, empathetic, and person-centered approach to therapy. My goal as a licensed counselor will be to develop a collaborative relationship where each client feels empowered to act as an expert in developing healthy coping skills, manage anxiety, depression, navigate difficult life transitions, reduce stress and emotional distress, to enhance communication skills and relationships. In therapy, we can learn to become more aware of our thoughts and actions, of how negative thought patterns and behaviors may be blocking our self-awareness and making us unhappy, and how we can change.

As a child and family therapist I work with tweens, teens and young adults (11-25 yr. old) and caregivers. Being young can be fun and also sometimes stressful, confusing, and painful. I work with young people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, emotional dysregulation and distress, and relationship challenges. I also love to work with parents. As parents, whether our child is or is not willing to get therapeutic support, doing our own work to care effectively can have invaluable impact in our children's lives. I help parents to better understand their child, support regulation, and model effective skills.

Are you struggling with navigating feelings of anxiety, depression, suicidality, substance abuse, attachment trauma, or self-harm? I am passionate about supporting people of all ages to heal from difficult or traumatic past experiences as well as supporting clients navigating life’s unpredictable challenges. I enjoy working with helping clients navigate emotional regulation, and becoming more self-aware and empowered.

Let’s be real, having a body is complicated. Given the context of the world we live in, it makes sense to feel a wide range of emotions about your body, food, movement, and the list goes on. Eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and low self-worth can so often feel like they come part and parcel with our society and the traumas so many of us endure throughout our lives. Thank goodness you don’t have to figure it all out alone! I believe that healing comes through gentle curiosity about ourselves and answering the question of “Why am I like this?” with nonjudgmental compassion.

Welcome! Therapy is a partnership in which we can work together to cultivate your inner wisdom and make needed change. You are the expert in your own life and I am trained in various techniques to support you in moving through the world in ways that bring you the most joy and satisfaction, while managing the painful moments effectively. I believe that mindful awareness of our emotions, thoughts, bodies, and behaviors is a foundation for living authentically. Our work will begin with me listening and learning about where you want to go in life and what makes it hard for you to take those steps.

Hello! My name is Melia and I specialize in working with people who are in their late teens and early adult years. As a transracial adoptee myself, I am passionate about working with adoptees struggling with identity related issues, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Often, navigating life changes can leave us feeling confused about ourselves and our relationships. I want to help support you through these changes with compassion and cultural sensitivity. I am grounded in a social justice framework rooted in racial equity and empowerment in order to help create a safe space where we can better explore your goals and needs.

Have you ever been told or wondered if you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional?" As if this is a shameful thing? I'll take a wild guess and say that hearing this probably doesn't help in feeling "less" emotional. This can be such a bind – maybe intense emotions/behaviors make things harder. However, a sense of acceptance, whether it comes from within or from loved ones, can profoundly support in feeling understood, safe, and resilient. And these more subtle feelings can absolutely assist in the pursuit of making necessary changes in emotional expression & related behaviors, impact on relationships, and presence day-to-day.

Life can be complicated and stressful at times and change can include triggers making the journey complicated. During these times it is human to reach out for empathy, support, and safety. My therapy approach is guided by the needs of each individual I work with. We will collaboratively create affirming, safe space to share and address your needs and concerns, explore potential solutions, and honor growth, no matter what stage your are at along your journey to a more fulfilled life. I employ a psychodynamic approach to therapy for healing of trauma and identity exploration. I treat all individuals with dignity and respect.

At Sequoia, I work with young people ages 14 - 25 years old. I appreciate supporting those who want to: increase their self-worth; experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them; improve their relationships with their family, friends, or significant others; examine the relationship between past events and current patterns; make changes in their behaviors that are consistent with their goals and values; and/or navigate oppression with more self-respect and advocacy skills. I have supported people of many identities, including people who identify as queer, NB, trans, POC, and neurodiverse.

I work with individuals aged 16 and up, and I am committed to creating a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship. I believe that working together means uncovering your strengths, confronting challenges, and developing strategies that enhance your well-being and quality of life. Whether you're struggling with the pressures of school/family/society, the weight of past traumas, or the challenges of adapting to a new environment, I offer a personalized approach to help you navigate in the face of change.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults in both individual and family therapy. I work well with clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, those facing life transitions or grief and loss. I have recently published an eBook on anxiety for teens, But Breathing Doesn't Help! Unlocking Teen Anxiety by Understanding Your Body, which can be found on Amazon, or for direct purchase at https://wendynystrom.selz.com/
