Family Therapy in Washington

Life can be overwhelming at times. Relationships can become toxic. If you feel stuck, frustrated or hopeless, I can help. You will find a safe and peaceful place to, explore solutions, improve relationships and heal. No matter how hopeless you feel right now, there is always hope, together we will find it. I have more than twenty five years experience helping men, women and teens improve relationships and find healing. I specialize in "family of origin" issues and changing relationship patterns that are not working. Together we can re-write your story and chart a new path.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and there are times when we can feel overwhelmed and stressed. Our emotions are not good or bad, they offer signals of what may be wrong or need attention. I provide individual and couple therapy by offering a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to process life’s complexities. I view the counseling process as forming an alliance with clients to explore the nature of their pain, trauma, and disconnection. Often it is in a relationship with others where we are harmed, but it is also in a relationship with God and others where we can find healing.

The alliance we build as client and therapist is a necessary and very important part of the therapeutic process. I carefully assess each individuals or couples strengths, history of relationships, sense of self, developmental status, learning styles, symptoms and readiness to change. I believe that what you find helpful to talk about in each session is most important. You and I will develop a treatment plan based upon these factors, your experience, my professional experience, research findings and what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I have a general practice and also have areas of specialty.

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/

I have been working with children and families, teens and young adults for more than 30 years. With genuine warmth and hopeful optimism I connect with individuals through virtual counseling or (weather permitting) as we walk and talk on Alki. Building a supportive relationship is foundational to helping clients understand and manage emotions, gain skills for communication and work through life’s challenges. Every one of us must learn to understand, appreciate and accept ourselves as unique individuals. Helping others find their voice in this process is my goal and great joy.

Do you struggle with negative core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough" or "I'm unlovable"? These negative core beliefs often stem from our past experiences, our family of origin, or from trauma. What would it be like to no longer be weighed down by these negative core beliefs and live into the truth of who you really are? By identifying and processing these negative core beliefs, I can help you find healing and hope for the future. I offer counseling services to adolescents 16+ and adults. My main areas of focus are family of origin issues, relational concerns, trauma, life transitions, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders.

I'm a therapist with the Rising Phoenix Wellness Center and specialize in grief and couples counseling. Currently, I only provide virtual sessions, but can be available on evenings and weekends at your convenience.

When we work together, we are a team built on mutual respect, empathy, and most importantly trust. Together we will find our smiles, curse a little, and learn often.

Accepting new clients!
