Jewish Therapists in Hoodsport, WA

Hi! My name is Ruth, she/they and I identify as a jewish, queer, latinx individual. I specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, adolescents and children, family issues, anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, addiction issues, and have experience with neurodivergent individuals on the autism spectrum. My therapeutic approach is very client-centered. I enjoy meeting people where they are at and finding out what areas of their lives they would like to grow in. Being in therapy for the first time or for the hundredth time can be a challenge. My goal is to alleviate that challenge and help people become the best version of themselves.

It's been my honor to work for the last decade with people struggling with eating disorders, and I'm passionate about exploring the expansive possibilities of healing. Recovery is "non-linear," so each person's process has its own complexities, timing, and map. But many courageous people have gone before in this process, so that we have an ever-deepening understanding of how to achieve lasting freedom from EDs. I offer ED care to adolescents age 13+ using the FBT model and to adults of all ages using an integrative approach. I also specialize in working with chronic illness, disability, and Jewish teens and adults.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

Hi. I'm Anna. I work with many different kinds of people, but I specialize in working with queer, trans, Jewish, and neurodivergent clients especially, as well as those who have experienced trauma. I currently have availability, so please reach out. I especially enjoy working with people who are seeking to understand themselves more deeply or who are struggling with their identity or the roles in their life. My approach incorporates all of your experiences, both recent and in the deeper past. During our work together I will encourage you to follow your thoughts and feelings wherever they may lead.

Life can be difficult, painful, wonderful, confusing, and more. As a therapist it is my goal to provide space in this complicated world for people to feel seen and heard, learn about their difficulties and create positive change. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am most interested in helping clients understand how environmental dynamics of past and present have come to impact a person, then learn to shift from unhelpful to more helpful patterns of living. Those I have worked with often tell me that I am honest, caring, silly, and “down to Earth”.

During our work together, we will be doing just that - working together! In our sessions I'll help you to identify what you (and your partner, if couples therapy) would like to see improved and how you visualize yourself, your relationship, and really your life by the end of therapy. From there I help you to recognize patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. My approach to helping you in this process is through a ‘person-centered’ therapeutic lens, as I trust that you are the expert in your life and that I am here to help you to understand your potential for positive change and to help facilitate that change.

Are you seeking your truth? Feeling stuck? Do you want a therapist who really gets you? Or perhaps you are part of a relationship or polycule, seeking to work on your communication in a non-judgemental environment. I am an art therapist and counselor working with individual adults and relationships from a person-centered lense. I am an artist and a DJ. I am a queer, anti-Zionist, Jewish trans woman. I know how important it can be to have a therapist with lived experience off the beaten path. I support people in the process of living their truths, creating the life and relationships that are genuine to them.

Are you finding yourself burnt out? Feeling stuck, isolated, or traumatized by current or historical events? We feel the pressure to better this world, but struggle with feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. At times like these it is vital to reclaim spaces of joy, safety, and connection within ourselves and the world around us. I am a queer, Jewish, immigrant with firsthand experience of needing to reclaim self within larger narratives of oppression and isolation. I know that this process can often involve navigating trauma and grief. None of us can do this alone.

Healing begins with connection. We need these connections to not only survive but thrive. So often our connections are fragmented. My work is trauma informed and helps you tap into your innate ability to heal and be whole. Through co-creating a safe space that honors your infinitely unique selfhood, while emphasizing the importance relationship has in the process of healing. Unfortunately, there is not a one-size-fits all solution to healing any growth. We will explore all of who you are to best guide us through your everyday lived experience. In this we foster a holistic method that focuses on nourishing your mind, body, and soul.

Do you feel caught in a never-ending loop of worries or uncertainty? Maybe you’re troubled by recurrent intrusive thoughts and images? Do certain situations and triggers cause you to freeze up and panic? These, along with depression, are the common concerns my clients present with. Despite their best efforts they can’t seem to find lasting relief. However, there's hope. In my practice, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), two of the most effective therapies science has given us for overcoming the challenges of Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. I'll help guide you toward peace of mind.

I have several years of experience working with adults of all ages and a wide-ranging background in working with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ folks, boundary work, self-esteem, and chronic illness. If you need space to take a pause, heal, and self-explore, then I can meet you where you’re at.

I see adults and teenagers who are struggling with social issues, adjusting to new environments, family conflicts, experiencing a crisis, or just going through a tough time. I specialize in helping people explore and work through issues and questions around gender and sexuality. I work with people to help them to heal and gain a better understanding of themselves and their lives.

I believe everyone has the ability to grow and heal when they have access to the support that they need. My intention is to facilitate that safe and secure space for individuals, couples, and families.

I love working with individuals, as well as couples. I have a lot of experience working with queer, non-heteronormative, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ clients, but that is not to say that I don’t love working with people who do not identify within those marginalized identities as well! I enjoy working with those who want to learn more about how to manage anxiety and panic disorder, engage with attachment disorders/historical ruptures, and childhood trauma.

Our lives are complicated. They’re full of complicated relationships, conflicts over what we want, struggles in how we see ourselves and others, and questions about satisfaction and meaning in life. In therapy, we have the opportunity to understand these painful dilemmas and better know our own minds. We can discover new ways of looking at our experiences, relationships, and internal world, and create a freer, more flexible, and more authentic life. I work with a wide variety of people and particularly enjoy working with those who are curious about themselves and interested in working collaboratively towards self-understanding.

At all stages of our lives, we are met with opportunities to build our sense of self and draw on our innate resiliency towards healing. I work with youth who may be just developing their identity and making sense of the world around them, and adults who have experienced trauma or other challenges that threaten to shake that foundation. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths based, and client-centered, so we will explore your unique strengths and vision for yourself and use that as our guide. I provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment for you to explore your identity, your values, and what living fully looks like.

I am a warm and engaged therapist and bring a deep curiosity and playfulness as well as deep listening and feeling to our process. I have over 30 years of training and experience in the field of clinical and depth psychology. Whether you are an individual or couple, struggling with communication issues or reevaluating your relationship needs and history, I bring an engaged and informed perspective to our work together. I am extensively trained in early attachment, relational trauma, sexuality and intimacy and bring a compassionate collaborative presence to the therapeutic process.

Hi there! I am currently accepting new Telehealth clients in Washington and North Carolina. Learning to trust someone is hard, but having to face difficult experiences alone can be even harder. I am here to help you make that journey (feel) easier, and help you grow at the same time. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, I will learn what makes you who you are, and will develop a unique treatment plan tailored to your needs. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, people of all orientations, and with military members and their families. I value support and validation but encourage solutions and change.

When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, obsessive thoughts, avoidant behavior, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and helpless. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, find yourself in a state of hypervigilence due to trauma and/or frozen by fears and uncertainty, you CAN find your way out - sometimes we just need some extra support to do so.
