Therapists in Bellevue, WA

**Not currently accepting new clients. Please contact me if you'd like to be added to my waitlist.* Some of my clients find me after a lifetime of perfectionism and self-judgement, working (too) hard to make everything seem okay from the outside and paying (too) high a price for doing it. Some find me because they have experienced, or witnessed, something horrific or traumatic. Some find me because intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are starting to take over their lives. Some find me because the stress of their job is becoming too much. And some find me because they feel shame and anguish around sex or their bodies.

Personable, motivated and compassionate NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified Physician Assistant, specializing in treating clients with complex mental health conditions with medication. My varied medical background in Internal medicine, Neurology, Neuro Critical Care, and Psychiatry makes me well - rounded and medically sensitive, with a commitment to providing first rate care via telemedicine. I received my MMSc in Physician Assistant Studies from Mercer University (Atlanta, GA), MS in Computer Information Systems and BA Economics from University of Detroit Mercy (Detroit, MI).

I bring working knowledge and skill to helping you navigate difficult life transitions, navigate healthier relationships, workplace challenges, or questions of meaning and purpose. I welcome working with individuals thirteen years old and up and anyone in the LGBTIQA+ community.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a warm and welcoming environment where you are free to explore the areas of your life you wish to improve for holistic healing - physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. I offer a warm and empathetic environment as I use a person-centered approach that allows me to understand you through your own unique experiences and walk alongside you on this journey to achieve your personal goals. My primary focus is in child, individual, and couples/family counseling as well as working with neurodivergent populations using neurodiversity-affirming language and approach.

My approach to counseling is holistic, humanistic and client-centered. I am trained in EMDR and trauma. I work with you and together we create an individualized approach to counseling that supports your goals. My professional background is in Trauma, PTSD, Grief, Loss, Early Parent loss. Anxiety, Depression. CBT, Family Systems Counseling, Narrative Therapy, Restorative Retelling, EFT, Matrix Reprinting, Multicultural Cultural Counseling, Feminist, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Since 2000, I have had the experience of living abroad as an elementary K-8 Certified teacher in Shanghai, China, Chiangmai, and Saudi Arabia.

I am experienced working with children, adults, couples, and families. Many times, people who call me are in distress, having tried what feels like everything, and they often feel frustrated and overwhelmed by their situation. My goal is to help individuals identify patterns of dysfunction that create problems for them. I work within the framework of an individual’s gifts and challenges to develop a strong relationship that allows for open communication and honesty. My strengths-based approach allows individuals to feel they have a voice and builds upon the good that is already taking place within their life and relationships.

Feelings illuminate needs & needs require action. There is a unique connection between your emotions & your feelings. Is healing, growth & change possible for me? Can someone really help me overcome this dark depression or intense anxiety? Is it possible to find my voice? How can I recover from disordered eating? Will I ever be free of this addiction? Am I the only one feeling like this? Can our relationship rebound after this betrayal? What's wrong with me/him/her/them/us? Questions like these are worthy of asking and it takes courage to seek and find the answers.

It is my privilege to witness my clients as they gain the skills to treat suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, extreme emotions, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, perfectionism, inflexibility and loneliness. These skills ultimately lead to connection with themselves, their partners, spouses and others in their lives and help them build a life worth living.

I provide CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to adults (18+) with OCD, disorders on the OCD spectrum, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. Most of my practice includes individuals impacted by OCD. I take a collaborative, evidence-based approach to my work with clients and believe that by working together, we can reduce distress and help you recover.

Hi there and welcome! My name is Hanna Maple. I am so excited that you are here! I feel so honored to be a consideration in your mental health journey. :) As we navigate through life's many paths, we often encounter barriers to relationships with others and ourselves. Regardless of the situation, I am here to support you, listen to you, and help you reach your goals. You are not alone!

I currently specialize in helping minds grappling with the complexities of anxiety, OCD, depression, neurodivergence, anger, and PTSD.

My name is Sara, I am a LMFT and a Registered Play Therapist. I enjoy working closely with kids and families to help them reach their goals. I view your family and your child's problem in the context of their life and relationships. I take a comprehensive family system's approach, which is client centered and focused on the goals you bring to therapy. We will develop a comprehensive treatment plan, taking into consideration family history, health, educational goals/needs, living situation, and cultural aspects of your life. I encourage clients to work with family and/or supports throughout the therapeutic process.

The current focus is on time-effective cognitive-behavioral, psychosomatic and depth psychology approaches individually tailored for each patient.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

Struggling with OCD, Phobias, Anxiety Disorders, or Trauma? Yearning to reduce intrusive thoughts, combat the impetus to perform compulsions, and overcome your fears? As a Certified Counselor, I am here to open the door to tranquility and functionality! My role is to assist you in the implementation of Exposure Therapy, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, Anxiety, and Trauma. I will guide you through the application of this behavioral intervention to reduce the intensity of symptoms and enhance quality of life. Serenity is just around the corner!

Each person has the ability to learn, grow and make necessary changes in their personal life, relationships, and situations. We aim at exploring and understanding ways of thinking and patterns of behavior one may be completely unaware of, resulting in repetitive patterns of behavior that ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and emotional turmoil in a person's life. We are driven by a belief that each individual has potential to grow from their life experiences, whether it be good or bad. As a group of highly qualified and trained therapists, we are passionate about solving critical challenges and inspiring personal growth.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.
