I am here for anyone who is struggling, looking for support, help, or personal exploration. My goal is to provide a safe space and an outside perspective with which to collaborate and problem solve. I identify as queer, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I work with people of all identities, genders, and relationship configurations. I recognize that each client is unique and therefore approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model to personalize treatment. I have the added benefit of having a sex therapy certified supervisor, which makes me a great fit for clients who wish to explore intimacy issues and sexual shame.

I am a licensed Mental Health therapist ( WA license number: 00010994) with twenty five years of experience counseling individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. I have a special interest in neuroscience and attachment theory in the context of helping individuals cope and heal from stress, trauma, and grief. I am also passionate about assisting people in developing healthy, authentic relationships, and in carving out their own unique life course. I believe that the relationship that is built between client and therapist is an important part of therapeutic growth and change.

Good Grief. Life’s unpredictability, traumatic experiences, loss and difficult relationships can leave us feeling confused, stuck, anxious, depressed even…hopeless. As a relational therapist, my purpose is to move with you, through your pain, discovering together how the grief you are experiencing might be the precise path towards wholeness & growth. If the entire human project is the process of transforming our suffering into meaning, then this is the hero’s journey. You are unique. Your agonies are unique. Your life story and your longings are unique. Yet, you are not alone. Let's meet the work of discovery...together.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, yet it is one that really matters. It is understandable to feel out of sorts, isolated, or misunderstood when experiencing relationship, family, peer, academic, or workplace stress, during a life transition, or when recovering from trauma. You may also be struggling with a death, the end of a relationship, a relocation from another state or country, an adjustment to a health issue of yourself or a loved one, or being in an environment in which you feel you don't fit. It can be painful to experience these feelings and to try to find a way forward. You don't have to do this alone.

I specialize in working with shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, & perfectionism behaviors. I also specialize in grief/bereavement, trauma recovery and anxiety management. I also offer relationship therapy (family and/or romantic). I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy and have training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Gottman Method. I have completed Gottman Level 3 Practicum Training & accepting new couples!

Sometimes you just need a safe and confidential space to sort it all out. Life and relationships can challenge us to our very limits as we try to love other people and hold onto our own sense of self at the same time. It can feel overwhelming to navigate the emotions, interaction cycles, and patterns at play in relationships. As difficult as these challenges are, they are ultimately the key to our personal growth and development. I work with couples who want a better partnership, and want to feel heard, valued, and understood. I help them find genuine connection in their emotional, mental, spiritual, and intimate relationship.

Are you a woman who feels overwhelmed, panicky or anxious? We all crave lives that feel safe, balanced and purposeful. There are times, however, when we reach a crossroads. Maybe you are facing a personal or family crisis, a shift in identity, or a significant loss. Maybe you are wondering if "this" is all there is. You want to feel better, but you are not sure where to start. I became a yoga teacher and psychotherapist because I have been there. I sought growth and transformation from a holistic perspective; one that addressed my mind, body and spirit.

Do you feel stuck? Are you sad or anxious? Are you having difficulty managing your relationships or experiencing self-esteem issues? My psychotherapy practice can help you rediscover and expand your personal strengths and self-knowledge in order to deal with the challenges in your life. I understand the courage it takes to make the first step into therapy and I focus on creating a safe environment for you to build towards a happier life. I have extensive training in issues related to loss and grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults and young adults. I approach the therapeutic relationship with genuine curiosity, openness and warmth and seek to provide a comfortable environment for you to explore your concerns. I see the therapeutic process as an opportunity for you to gain personal insight so that you may achieve satisfaction in yourself and your relationships. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, general mood disorders, stress management, anger, grief, family-of-origin concerns, and trauma. I also welcome those who are new to therapy.

Everyone is worthy of growth, healing, and living authentically. The inner knowledge and tools gained in therapy can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others, identify and live by your values, and live more mindfully in all areas of your life. My goal is providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and person-centered. I realize power impacts our ability to share and live by our own stories, and I strive to provide culturally aware and sensitive therapy.

If you're reading this, you might know the struggle of constantly putting others' needs before your own, feel tired of being anxious and overwhelmed, or wrestling with the belief that you're not good enough or perhaps even "too much." Life is full of unexpected changes, both big and small, and navigating these transitions can be incredibly challenging. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. Whether you're dealing with loss, going through a big life change, trying to be kinder to yourself, or just want to understand yourself better, I'm here to help you navigate your personal growth and well-being.

You may notice self-doubt, overwhelm, or disconnection showing up in your life. Anxieties like these often overflow into our relationships too, which can feel like a lot to untangle. Thankfully, relationships can be a powerful place for growth. Our close relationships can even be the mirrors that help us see deeper pain and patterns we couldn't see before. I offer support to reconnect with yourself or your partner, lower relationship anxiety, understand your anger, rebuild trust and intimacy, heal after loss, or untangle old patterns that keep you from fully living. You don't have to carry the weight of this stress alone.

Ross Kling, MA, LMFTA. I offer counseling to help you heal, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover your connection with others. With empathy and understanding developed over 25 years as an independent funeral director, I have helped thousands of individuals and families navigate deeply distressing feelings of vulnerability and emotion. This informs my approach as a therapist. I embrace a welcoming openness for the human experience and a desire to deeply listen to another. I utilize solution based and narrative therapies as well as Gottman based practices to help people better understand themselves and one another.

My work is ideal for people who have a desire to understand themselves more fully, and who are interested in exploring stuck patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that cause suffering to themselves and the people in their lives. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and issues around identity, including sexuality and gender issues. I also work with clients who are grappling with existential issues of meaning and mortality. I focus on the cultivation of awareness and acceptance in the safe environment of a compassionate therapeutic relationship.

I've lived in the PNW for 25 years via Miami and originally, from New York City. I received a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked as a professional photographer. In Seattle, I worked for Microsoft and lead self-actualization seminars before earning a Masters in Existential Psychology from Seattle University, I practice Existential Integrative therapy and also study mindfulness and eastern philosophy. I'm interested in the ways these converge, how people construct meaning and how it relates to their as-lived experience; and how clients use this capacity to generate self-awareness and walk a new pathway forward.

If you are here that means you are probably seeking support for something in your life that feels difficult, overwhelming, confusing, or painful. My work is to offer you a safe, kind, and accepting space for you to further explore your internal and external realities. Together we will be curious about your unique life experience, the impact of your experience, the struggles and conflicts you may be facing, and what you need to thrive. I believe therapy is the process of uncovering who you were meant to be before the world told you who you should be and wounded you with its expectations and cruelty.

Engaging in therapy is an act of bravery and self-love. I have immediate in person, telehealth, & weekend availability. I offer a safe and sex positive place where you will feel seen and heard. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental and gently direct. I work with clients who may be healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, exploring their identity, or grappling with anxiety. I tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients. If you suffer from awful panic attacks, I'll give you strategies to tolerate and manage them so you can stop canceling plans at the last minute and gain control over your anxiety
