Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Washington

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. my approach is patient-centered care with a focus on helping clients draw on their strengths and life experiences to make desired changes in their lives. Under the right condition, daily challenges stress and strain our coping skills triggering emotional responses . These challenges impact our personal and professional lives leaving us with opportunities to open new doors and grow resilience and emotional fortitude. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at and experience changes.

You have the power to manage stress, find joy and create more balance in your life - and it would be my honor to help you find the way! I'm Stephanie, a licensed mental health counselor in practice for over fifteen years. My approach is trauma informed and often eclectic with an emphasis on CBT, brief/solution focused therapy, mindfulness psychology and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have extensive training and experience providing DBT in both individual counseling and group formats and have had the privilege of witnessing lives be transformed through this evidence-based practice.

I work with individual adults, teens, and preteens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relational issues, life transitions, grief and loss, stress, trauma, and identity questions. I offer you a safe place to find hope for new possibilities as you explore situations or patterns in your life that are causing pain or keeping you stuck. I believe that change begins as we shine the light of acceptance and love into the challenging parts of our lives, as we make meaning of our experiences, and as we explore tools and practices that help our bodies and minds feel a restored sense of safety, choice, power, and connection.

Do you feel anxious before socializing or do you find yourself avoiding social situations all together? I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with Social Anxiety Disorder.

Hello, we are accepting new clients for telehealth. My name is Sydney. The past few years has been a difficult time for many of us. It has shown us that it is paramount to take care of ourselves and this includes our mental health and wellbeing. If you are someone who is having difficulty with managing anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, past or current traumas, or relationship conflicts, I am here to help.

Welcome! We are all emotional and relational beings so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships and are ongoing throughout our lives. Experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, struggling with communication issues, moving through discouragement, and unmet expectations in yourself and/or loved ones, is not a sign of failure or weakness. These experiences simply remind us we are human and provide opportunities for growth. The choice to do something different is yours. I welcome the walk with you on your journey of hope and transformation.

Hello, I am Anna. As a mom, mental health professional, and disabled individual, I know how difficult the world and life can be and how hard it can be to ask for help. I see counseling as coming beside a person and assisting them to best help themselves. Counseling should be a partnership where the person is open, determined and willing to work and the clinician, in collaboration with them, directs the ship and supports them with the tools they need. Are you having a tough time with anxiety? Has your past held you back from your goals? Do feel lost trying to fill your life with "stuff" that never seems to help? Change is possible.

My therapy practice is committed to helping people live happier, healthier, more joy filled lives. Every single moment of our lives can unfold in infinitely creative ways, yet sometimes our problems seem overwhelming, or we find ourselves repeating negative patterns and we can't see the solution. Are you suffering from anxiety or depression? Are you longing for emotional connection with those nearest to you? Does your life lack a sense of direction, meaning or purpose? Are you suffering a loss, going through a job or life transition?

My name is Lizzie Stryker, a LMHCA and a nationally accredited Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. Through my combined experiences of counseling and therapy work I offer support through various challenges and periods of change including grief, depression, anxiety, work stress, burnout, various trauma, struggling with self worth, feelings of hopelessness, difficulty with interpersonal relationships/skills, and during times of uncertainty. I have professional experience working with neurodiverse children and adults, the LGBTQIA+ community, adolescents struggling with self harm, SI, depression, anxiety, injured workers, and BIPOC.

Life can be difficult and painful at times but it doesn't have to involve so much suffering. How may we find the calm stillness in the eye of our storm so as to relate to our mind and our present experience compassionately and even learn and grow from it? I invite you to open to your life in a new way: a way that relieves your suffering and promotes your health and expands your awareness. Through mindfully listening to the body and courageously opening and relating to the uncomfortable/painful, somatic therapy provides a practice of gentle self-exploration toward discovering your connection to your truth, purpose and life.

Hello, I am happy you are here and exploring ways to care for yourself. I help support folks that may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress management, life transitions, women's issues, men's issues, and relationship issues. My clients can expect a warm, supportive, collaborative, and non-judgemental space focused on fostering resiliency and empowerment and building a toolkit of coping skills. I believe everyone can flourish to their fullest potential and everyone has the power to rewrite their own stories. I intend to help my clients uncover their true potential and authentic self.

Many of us are feeling overwhelmed and stressed out right now. Recent and ongoing events are likely to trigger things that have happened in our past and can make it even more difficult to get through the day. Maybe you're feeling guilty because you feel like you "should" be grateful right now, but you really just feel awful. Whatever you are going through, talking to a therapist can be a lifesaver. We can help you make sense of what is going on in the world and your life, and help you feel supported and empowered in this time of uncertainty. We are here to be your non-judgemental support.

Being open to understanding more about yourself takes courage. You may envision something new, but you don’t know how to get there. There may be an inner struggle of whether you are worthy or deserve to be happy. In counseling you get to be seen and heard for all that you are. With curiosity and warmth, I will listen and support you in identifying what you'd like to shift in your life to bring a sense relief and ease while more closely meeting your needs and living in balance with your values.

When one door closes but another door isn't yet open, it can get lonely out in that hallway. Maybe a loved one has died, or you've received a diagnosis or you just moved to a new area...Is what you're feeling grief, trauma or culture shock? Or all of the above? How do you find courage, support and strength when you're in this in-between territory? It helps to have someone who's been there listen as you sort it out. Someone who gives you space to discern what you need. Someone who understands your language and can help you recognize and explore new possibilities. Someone who helps you discover who you are now, and who you can become

I work with youth, age 13+, and adults across the lifespan. I'm passionate about LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming mental health therapy, I support folks in navigating and exploring relationship to self and others (sex and body positive, ethical non-monogamy and poly affirming), anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin, disability, chronic-illness, grief, substance use, life transitions and challenges. I have an intersectional, anti-oppressive approach to therapy— highlighting how our relationship to ourselves, community, environment, and historical legacies impact and affect each other.

Are you struggling with feeling alone, or having difficulty connecting with others? Do you feel yourself sinking into increasingly negative feelings? Is your family experiencing sudden, new challenges, with no way to successfully navigate them? I can help! I am an empathic, gentle, nerdy therapist that can help you feel more present in the moment, better connected with others, and actually enjoy life! I accept people with an extraordinary amount of compassion, just as they are, without judgment. It's important to me that the process is collaborative, and our sessions will be tailored to fit your specific needs, concerns, and goals.

No matter what you're struggling with, we are all naturally wired to heal and find restoration. My goal is to help clients find peace in their bodies and minds by working to heal their overstressed nervous system. This includes providing a supportive relationship and a personalized approach for every client. I use a variety of evidence based techniques including EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapies (DBT & ACT). This flexible approach helps me tailor the sessions to each client in order to provide the most helpful resources.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you lead a meaningful, fulfilling life. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experience and that your values, beliefs, and background have a powerful impact on your life and worldview. I view therapy as a collaboration where we will work together to identify what matters most to you and to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. To do this, we will define specific treatment goals and targets as we begin to work together. We will also check in throughout the process to ensure that therapy continues to be helpful and enriching for you.
