Teletherapy for Washington

It is my goal to foster psychological flexibility, personal accountability, congruence, and access to life force energy for the people that I am serving. I strive to increase their capacity to have a full range of experience. It is my hope that ultimately when people gain a bird's eye perspective of themselves that they will rest in self compassion for themselves and ultimately be free to be their authentic selves and recognize their wholeness. By weaving curiosity, openness, acceptance and love into the therapeutic process we can begin healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and burnt out taking care of a family member or friend? Or are you an older adult adjusting to a chronic illness, injury or change in function? I provide individual therapy to support you through your journey with chronic illness, such as dementia or cancer. I also offer consultation services to explore practical aspects of aging and caregiving such as in-home care, residential placement options, and advanced care & end of life planning. The goal is for you to feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Starting therapy for the first time, or with someone new, can bring feelings of vulnerability. There’s no right or wrong way to start, or reasons needed to begin. I believe all people can benefit from therapy. After all, being a human is hard enough. With me, the process of coming to therapy is made simple through co-creating safety and trust. I provide space where people can be human, share their truth, explore identities + practice new learning. I’m accepting clients ages 5+ for in-person and ages 13+ for telehealth/in-person. Clients under 13 unable to do in-person are encouraged to start parent sessions with me to foster change.

Sometimes personal tragedy strikes and you need to talk. Often systemic oppression and microaggressions can cause depression, anxiety and PTSD. I believe that hope is an endurant quality that gets us through the hardest parts of our life. Counseling is about restoring hope and advocacy within the context of an apathetic society. I teach self advocacy skills and boundary setting. My overall approach is compassion focused. I believe that clients know what is in their best interest and I hope to assist you in reaching your goals.

With over 30 years of experience in providing mental health services, my approach integrates varied perspectives in supporting people in finding relief from emotional and relational pain. Symptoms are often expressing deeper experiences that have wounded your sense of trust in yourself, in others, in life in general, and may have left you struggling with knowing your own sense of meaning, purpose, and hope. You deserve an authentic, compassionate, safe, and hopeful place to reflect, and to seek help and healing. I am committed to providing effective, genuine, and meaningful help primarily to adults and teens.

We are each doing the best we know how but sometimes events in our lives can overwhelm us and leave us feeling shattered. We move through life with invisible wounds that separate us from ourselves and those we love. It takes courage to be fully present in our own lives and to celebrate our unique strengths. It also takes courage to ask for help when we are struggling to cope. I will work alongside you as you learn transformative skills that empower you with more helpful thoughts, a renewed sense of presence and a safe mind-body connection.

I deeply believe in your ability to find peace, develop your intuition and wisdom to make your own choices about your life, and create new meaning and find healing from trauma, including systemic and intergenerational trauma. I am a humanistic, existentially oriented, compassion-focused Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained therapist who sees clients in Oregon, Washington, and California. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and strive for inclusivity and curiosity for all people. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, transitions, grief and loss, indecision, school/work stress, and relationship conflicts, among other issues.

I am committed to creating a warm, inclusive, and compassionate environment where you are supported in becoming your best self. I work primarily with those seeking support for issues related to prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum periods. This may include: life transitions, relational challenges, trauma, pregnancy, birth, postpartum period, infertility, reproductive losses and early years of parenting. I also work with those who have relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and highly sensitive and/or empathetic persons.

In my therapy practice, I help people embrace their challenges with compassion and awareness, and move toward personal growth and valued living. My practice is rooted in evidence-based principles, drawing upon my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. I value person-centered care and tailor the therapy to fit the specific needs of my clients. I help people suffering from anxiety, depression, insomnia, trauma, life stress, life transitions, and relationships.

At certain points in life you will be presented with challenges that temporally overwhelm your ability to cope. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic distress and other emotional and interpersonal problems are common responses to being overwhelmed.

We are accepting new clients. Hi, I'm Kirsten and I have experience with adults and teens impacted by depression and anxiety. I provide support for folks experiencing challenges such as self esteem, identity issues, career challenges, and relationship difficulties. My approach includes strength based, attachment based, and family systems work, as these interventions validate existing strengths while unlearning thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve us. I utilize interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, compassion focused therapy, among others.

I am a compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and Substance Use Disorder Professional, holding a Master of Education degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University. For over 6 years, I have passionately supported teens and adults, particularly those from underserved backgrounds, in navigating trauma treatment and recovery. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity, empathy, and a deep understanding of psychology and spirituality, fostering meaningful connections with my clients. My therapeutic toolbox includes modalities like CBT, DBT, EFT, & IFS.

As a metaphysical psychotherapist and holistic healer, my work lies in the intersection of spirituality and the embodied human experience. I offer a loving space for high-vibrational healing – healing that honors your lived human experience, as well as your divine, intuitive knowing. I help clients get back into their bodies to reconnect with their innate wisdom and intuition, and attune to their own inner guidance system. When we cultivate an awareness of both our divinity and humanity, we become who we intended to be: whole, authentic, embodied. We gift our unique beauty to ourselves and the world.

Hi there! My strongest source of learning as a therapist has been getting to witness remarkable acts of courage by people facing seemingly insurmountable odds. It takes bravery to look within. I believe in helping people feel safe in their bodies again, safe to feel and express their emotions, and trust in their inner wisdom. I value truly understanding and connecting with those I see, and cultivating a space where you are free and comfortable to let your guard down. Whether you’re looking for concrete skills, wanting to dive deep into territory uncharted, or a bit of both, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and goals.

I am passionate about creating a safe environment for my clients to feel heard and explore new ways to create, repair and maintain lasting bonds. I work with adult individuals, families and couples.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping you find relief from trauma. A trauma history may mean you have PTSD or C-PTSD but it can also show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, struggles with attachment and trust, emotional difficulties, chronic shame, and more. I believe in collaborating with you to provide trusted and knowledgeable care that will help to give you a sense of direction in your trauma recovery with your unique experiences and goals.

I strive to show up authentically to create and hold a space where individuals can feel safe and accepted for who they are as they heal and grow on their journey. I specialize in working with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I believe in looking inward and continuing to grow myself in order to provide affirmative and culturally sensitive therapy.

If you are feeling disconnected from yourself and others, overwhelmed by your emotions, or feeling lost, you are in good company. Clara Sherman is a Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counselor. With her, you will dive deeply into your emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors to uncover what underlies your automatic self. She will guide you to discover new awarenesses within you, learn how to navigate challenging emotions, cultivate lasting self-compassion, and give you tools to grow your own inner exploration.

I love to work with female, male, and LGBTQ professionals who experienced hurtful childhoods or abusive relationships and struggle to let go of the past, feel "like they are not enough", "have to prove their worth", or "settle for less". I love to help clients understand why they continuously attract "the wrong partner" so they can make different choices, move on from hurtful relationships, and attract more suitable partners. I welcome polyamory, kink, and sex-positivity. I enjoy helping clients get past traumatic experiences so they can feel safe in their bodies again and courageous about taking up space in their lives.
