Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

Accepting new clients. "While we all move through similar spectrums of emotions and experience similar battles with attachment and old patterns, we all have unique conditioning that sets us apart from each other. No two people have traveled the same journey. And we each have our own emotional history that we have to traverse when we start our healing. Since each individual has their own conditioning, how one person heals is not how all people heal." (Yung Pueblo, Lighter 2022) As a therapist, I hope to create and hold a place where clients can feel safe to do the work they desire to move closer to the life they would like to live.

I'm Dr. Julie Kinn, a licensed clinical and research psychologist who specializes in treatment of anxiety, OCD, intimacy, and sleep disorders using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure & response prevention (ERP), and motivational interviewing.

Licensed in CA and WA states - Successfully managing through high school, college, and early adulthood can be challenging. Many of my clients find themselves sacrificing mental health for academic and career success or have difficulties with motivation, confidence, and relationships.

I also support the building of communication skills and boundary-setting to better navigate and nurture important relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners.

I currently have had to pause on accepting new patients. I will update my profile when that changes. Everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. Whether it's struggling with a difficult relationship, work or school, anxiety, depression, or problems in your family or social life, you're making an effort now to change. We will work together on ways to resolve the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that have prevented you from being who you want and attaining the things in life you really want for yourself. I offer a warm, safe, and confidential setting where we determine what your therapy needs are and how to achieve them.

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.

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.

I’m a relational depth-oriented therapist which means that I believe our therapeutic relationship is the transformative engine in therapy for long-term healing. I hold faith in and listen deeply for the inner wisdom of my clients that is sometimes overlooked because of doubt, shame, trauma, and external voices that promote self-abandonment. I believe this work is sacred and that it is as much about creating more capacity for joy and vitality as it is about processing harm. I consider it an honor to journey with each person who walks into our shared therapeutic space.

Hi! I'm currently accepting new clients! My name is Tally (she/her), I’m a queer white trans woman therapist in so-called seattle, washington on Occupied Duwamish Lands. I work to create gender-affirming, trauma-informed care for teens + adults under a liberation framework. I approach my work shaped by mutual aid and anti-imperialist organizations. Abolition and Decolonization are deeply structured parts of my work here and elsewhere. Sliding Scale available!

I assist clients in building skills and acquiring tools to align their life with their values and vision. I help clients identify their own strengths and wisdom to effectively face life's challenges, achieve goals and create lasting changes. I consider the social and cultural factors that impact each person's ways of being, how they are treated in this world, and how they adapt to difficult experiences. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, creative and hopeful space that is conducive to self-exploration and transformation.

My approach is holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I strive to integrate the intersectionality of the individual, familial, cultural, and social factors to best understand my client's lived experience. I use a variety of modalities to best suit my client's needs, pulling from CBT, DBT, ACT, and TF-CBT. Therapy with me may look different than what you’ve seen on movies or television, or different from experience with previous therapists! I love to incorporate arts, crafts, toys, games, video games, music, and movement in sessions to help my clients understand their mental health.

Life can be isolating at times. This is especially true when you add in ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, chronic illness, and Queerness, cultural, and relationship issues. We hold so many identities and struggles that influence who we are and how we move through our place in the world. It is essential to find yourself among those identities and move into the whole version of yourself that finds comfort in the here and now. This includes finding your community and support through all that life throws at us. As a therapist, I move through sessions with a person-centered, feminist, and multicultural lens.

Calling the truth-seekers, the plant medicine-sitters, "the lovers, the dreamers, and me", this is an invitation to work with someone who *gets it* and is committed to being part of the modern paradigm shift. I don't want to diagnose you, but instead help you find the gift in all the ways you are uniquely YOU. Working for 15+ years in addiction & recovery makes me somewhat of an expert in those realms, but I am much more interested in revealing how YOU are the expert of your experience. Together we will find the path back to your own loving heart thru Inner Child Work and Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration. REMEMBER with me

I work with people dealing with emotional problems that manifest as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. The encounters with emotions seem powerful, overwhelming, and mysterious. They may feel so powerful, that you push away, stuff down, use substances, or even allow the emotions to direct your actions and thoughts. It can feel confusing of how you can build strength to overcome emotional wounds. How do you make sense of what doesn’t always make sense? Exploring your emotions with a therapist can be healing and encouraging.
