Therapists in Beaux Arts, WA

Monday at 4:00pm available in person or online- Thursday at 3:00 in person or online ———-I’ve found that therapy is most powerful when there is a combination of traditional western methodology and eastern philosophy practices. Together, we’ll discuss who you are. I’ll form questions that provide insight into your systems, and patterns. We’ll discuss family of origin. Time and time again. We’ll talk about diet; we’ll talk about love. We’ll discuss death. Together we’ll uncover aspects of your human experience and award you the opportunity to look further inward.

Nadine Paschzella MD, Ph.D.,has over 20 years of experience in providing psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, children and families in a variety of clinical settings. She integrates clinical techniques from different therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness based approaches and family systems therapy.

It takes courage, strength, and commitment to want to improve your life. Sometimes life presents us with roadblocks, we get stuck in difficult situations, and struggle to overcome hardships. Those are the most important times to reach out for support. I partner with individuals, families and couples to help improve communication and increase the positivity and depth within relationships. I will work to align with your needs to help create a true sense of personal empowerment to overcome life’s difficulties.

In addition to traditional talk therapy sessions, I also work well with clients who are seeking a holistic approach to address emotional, mental, and spiritual/energetic needs. The body-mind connection is integrated into individual sessions facilitated to your specific issue or life situation. Through counseling and/or Reiki, I work to assist you in finding or re-learning to trust your inner voice to help you more effectively deal with past trauma, or challenging family or social situations. I am highly intuitive, assisting you to clear what is blocking you energetically on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels.

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance and increase sense of peace, meaning and purpose. As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds.

Sometimes we encounter hardships that seem too overwhelming or painful to manage. These struggles may occur in marriage, family relationships, parenting, at work, or coping with every-day life. They can be destabilizing, leaving us feeling hopeless and helpless. I believe these uncomfortable emotions can often be a window of opportunity to look deeper into what has happened, our role in it, and our reaction to it. Within these moments, we can unravel our own inner wisdom to help us heal and grow.

I believe we humans all have inherent goodness, beauty, and resiliency to us. Unfortunately life leaves none of us unscathed whether it be from harmful systems, family of origin dynamics, life circumstances, toxic relationships, traumatic events, or even our own self sabotaging behaviors. Regardless of how it happens, we can find ourselves feeling stuck or in pieces. While there are many wonderful healing practices out there, I believe that therapy is a great way to start understanding how we got to where we are and to begin to grow in new directions, with the hope of living a more vibrant, grounded, and creative life.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.
