Therapists in Seattle, WA

I am a queer trans-identified licensed professional therapist practicing clinical psychotherapy for over 16 years. My practice is based out of Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. I specialize in working with queer, non-binary, poly populations. I received my master's degree in Psychology at Antioch University Seattle in 2008 and have been working consistently as a therapist ever since. I have extensive experience and work with counseling individuals and couples in a wide variety settings such as primary health care clinics, urban and rural tribal health care, community mental health treatment centers, and major healthcare facilities.

Ideally, I would like to use my extensive training and 40+ years of counseling experience to support, assist and advocate for clients whose personal identity lies on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, while they explore, investigate, or plan the rest of their life journey in their true identity. Naturally, I do NOT exclude others from becoming clients, since I also have a wealth of experience serving clients from the vast straight and cisgender community.

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

During our lives, we encounter experiences that can move us away from a direct connection to ourselves. Influences from family, friends, peers, jobs, and the greater culture can affect how we view and express ourselves. We can become conditioned to thinking, feeling and behaving in a way that is incompatible with who we really are and what we want in our lives. This compromises our ability to value our unique identity and to express and apply ourselves, and our strengths. I will help you to identify, understand and remove barriers that are keeping you from realizing your fullest potential. I offer Telehealth only in California.

The work I do is rooted in my belief that every identity has value and that our identities shape our lives, how we experience the world, and the stories we tell ourselves. I want to collaborate with you in the retelling of your personal story in a way that is more empowering. I want to acknowledge the discrimination you may have faced and honor the strength you have gained through your experiences. It is important to me that you be the guiding voice in your therapeutic journey. You are the expert in your own life, so I will follow your lead and provide the support and guidance you need to do the difficult work.

Whatever you have going on let’s work through this together. I aim to provide an open, safe, nurturing space without judgment or shame. Finding a new therapist can be daunting. My practice is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and social-justice informed. I am a healthy at every size practitioner. I like to work collaboratively and provide compassion, humility, and humor along the way. My priority is to listen deeply, empower, and gently redirect or challenge where necessary. I offer counseling and medication management (uncontrolled meds), including concurrent acupuncture treatments during appointments.

I am a dually Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Chemical Dependency Professional working in the field since 1989, currently in private practice for testing and psychotherapy. I have an interactive, relationship-focused approach, and specialize in clients who have professional licensure or a public position and unhealthy alcohol/drug use.

Reaching out to ask for help is one of the bravest things you can do. It involves being seen; in our vulnerabilities and in our strengths. It involves holding hope for yourself, your relationship(s), your child, your life. As a clinician, it is my job to hold that hope for you, even when you cannot see it. I believe strongly in client-centered work, which means that I also believe that people are essentially driven towards their own highest good and healing; sometimes it just takes removing the obstacles, which we will identify and face together. My work with individuals, couples, families and children is strongly informed by

I offer individual and group Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills Training for adults ages 18 and up. New group members are accepted each week, and the commitment is for one month of treatment.

I have worked with tens of thousands of clients with issues ranging from trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, communication, parenting, work frustrations, suicidality, sudden life change, and more. My goal is for you to experience peace in your life, stop merely coping, and start thriving in the present. I believe in the importance of living in this moment that we’ve been given, and I want you to experience the abundant joy and freedom that comes from God. Don’t wait another day; invest in yourself today. I look forward to working with you to overcome past barriers so you can fully enjoy your life each moment.

Let's get started, call me so you can start getting relief from your pain, confusion or fear. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for adults, teens, children and couples. A sign that therapy would be helpful is the presence of recurring pain in relationships, lack of intimacy, loss of friendships, work or career dissatisfaction, shame, physical symptoms or lack of meaning in your life.

I work alongside my clients, as they bravely take the risks involved in introspection. I believe in meeting each client where they are and moving at a pace that each person feels comfortable with. I want to guide you as you explore and overcome the obstacles disrupting your functioning or behavior; I want to support you as you explore feelings of stress, trauma, sadness, confusion, worry, anger, pressure… I don’t see clients as diagnoses: I see them as complex people experiencing emotional crises who will show me how to give them the help they need getting through it.

Hello, I'm psychotherapist working virtually and in Belltown/South Lake Union, Seattle. Therapy is a place where you can talk about how thoughts and feelings affect your sense of self, environment, and relationships. I focus on anxiety. I work with clients who range from just needing a place to explore their thoughts, to focused therapy on specific areas of distress. I specialize in anxiety and mood disorders. I have a special interest and have much experience working with folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities. LGBTQ+ and relationship issues are another passion.

In my therapeutic practice I seek to motivate clients to build the brain they want rather than feeling stuck with the one they have. By harnessing the power of cognitive restructuring, we can excel at tackling complex issues like dealing with stress, managing emotions, changing habits, controlling impulses and navigating complicated relationships in the same way that we would get better at any other skill; through dedication and practice! I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and skills to help clients set and achieve their own therapeutic goals and try to instil a sense of hopefulness and resolve in every session.

As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Cassie's ideal client will be searching for the courage to be imperfect. They believe the client is the author of their own story, and the therapist can help them edit or rewrite the chapters that challenge their ability to thrive. Cassie is a therapist who strives to understand individuals within their social context and to meet them wherever they are in their lives. They provide LGBTQIA+ mental health therapy, working with individuals across the lifespan.

As both a therapist and yoga teacher, I believe we have the capacity to access our own inner knowing and sense of awareness. Sometimes we just need some redirection about how to get there. I believe in a compassionate approach to therapy, which expands resiliency, encourages self-agency, and invites discovery.
