Therapists in Washington

Living with anxiety or OCD is miserable! I have worked with anxiety and OCD for almost a decade and enjoy helping kids, teens and adults break free from the limitations and distress that anxiety creates in daily life. Often I see clients who are discouraged that talk therapy or other treatments have not been helpful. Research consistently demonstrates the importance of evidence-based treatment for moderate to severe anxiety and OCD. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is essential for successful treatment.

Facing emotional challenges can make you feel alone and lost. When people can’t physically see the wounds you carry you can wonder if you’re the only one, that you’re “just this way” and there’s nothing to be done, you’re broken. You have every right to feel what you’re feeling, your emotions, actions, thoughts, all of it makes perfect sense given what you’ve gone through AND change can happen. I want you to feel accepted while we push for change together. I don’t believe anyone is broken even when we feel that way sometimes, I believe we face challenges and challenges can be overcome.

Have you ever found yourself frozen in place? Maybe it's the stress of a decision, or concern about navigating relationships. Or there are too many things to juggle, and any move seems like the wrong one. Perhaps your mind always gravitates toward worst-case scenarios. Whatever the cause, it is possible to get unstuck, and even to find direction and greater peace. Sometimes this means working from the top down - what unhealthy rhythms are in your life, and how can they be replaced with things that tend to wholeness and freedom? Sometimes, this means working from the bottom up, addressing past wounding and how it carries into today.

I specialize in working with clients struggling with porn, sex, and masturbation addiction, chronic infidelity, and OCD. I also have a passion for assisting individuals as they navigate through challenges and doubts regarding their Christian faith. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Clinical Sexology and Behavioral Addictions at the International Institute of Clinical Sexology (IICS). I am also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and member of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP).

Are you the person everyone depends on to have it together? The friend they call when they need support, the manager they trust to complete the important projects, the daughter they lean on the most. You’re kind, empathetic, and extremely capable, yet somehow these traits are used against you. You’re constantly thinking of you’re to-do list, but there’s never enough time. You pride yourself on giving 100% but it's impossible to do anymore. And you wish you had someone YOU could lean on. I support women as they learn to prioritize themselves, build their self-confidence, and start living lives that actually fill them with joy.

Limited Openings Available! My therapeutic approach is founded on a simple yet powerful idea: Accepting yourself is the first step toward change. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my focus is on providing specialized treatment that works. I rely on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and exposure therapies. Additionally, I incorporate multicultural perspectives and existential values to create a personalized and meaningful experience for you.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship? Do you feel paralyzed by anxiety and worry? Have you tried to fix things yourself and feel frustrated with the results? I am dedicated to helping clients who are seeking more connection in their marriage and who want to make life more manageable. My typical clients are those who struggle with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or sexual dysfunction. This includes issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, or out-of-control sexual behavior/addiction.

Hello, I'm Marie Albertson an LMHC in WA. I take a client-centered approach to therapy using both CBT and other modalities such as ERP. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD. My goal in therapy is to help clients reach their next goal and to help them become their best selves. I assign homework and believe that the client who puts in time between sessions will have even better results.

At times the challenges life puts before us can become overwhelming. I believe that by working together we can overcome these challenges. I have had over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I have focused on depression, anxiety, grief/loss, obsessive compulsive disorders, stress management, PTSD and a variety of other behavioral and emotional issues.

Are you burdened with feelings of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness? Do you have intrusive, terrifying thoughts or feel compelled to perform rituals that you know don't make sense? I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is very common, affecting one in 40 individuals. I am highly trained in using exposure and response prevention, an evidence based treatment proven to help sufferers. I understand this complex and largely misunderstood disorder, and I also support family members, who frequently experience frustration, confusion, and pain while not knowing how to help their loved one

Anxiety is awful. Most people just do not understand how difficult it is to live with chronic worry, panic attacks, or obsessive thoughts that compel unwanted behavior. Gladly, most people will never have to know how horrible it is to have nagging obsessive thoughts, or fear panicking in public places. The variety of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) like Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are quite effective in increasing distress tolerance, reducing anxiety, and eliminating the dysfunctional behaviors that accompany it. Because our practice is growing we do have some openings.

Do you want a fresh outlook? Are you looking for a new perspective? Do you want change that offers realistic hope? I have been privileged over the past 20 plus years of helping people address change. We all want to avoid addressing personal change. In many ways it is like musical chairs: We cling as long as possible to the perceived "safe" place that we already know, refusing to loosen our grip until we feel sure another safe place awaits. Together we will work to establish attainable goals that are best suited for your life.
