Personality Disorders Therapists in Alki Beach, Seattle, WA

My philosophy is that "knowledge is power" and I believe that every predicament can be an opportunity to learn and grow, but most importantly, the first step is to identify the problem accurately. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about helping my patients gain insight about their mental and emotional strengths and vulnerabilities through an objective and comprehensive evaluation by using standardized measures. Once all the information is gathered, I will offer extensive feedback regarding the results and make recommendations to help you or your child get the treatments or services needed. I work with ages 4 - 59.

As a provider coming from clinical work in community and institutional settings, I have had the privilege of working alongside a wide array of individuals. My approach has become a constellation of theoretical orientations. I believe wholeheartedly in the potential for growth via the therapeutic relationship, and most shiningly, the beauty of human resilience. Mental health symptoms and addictions are nothing but survival skills begging to be transmuted. Unaddressed trauma as been the focus of my work, and I lean on mindfulness and the power of its practice to retrain the brain’s most reactive pathways.

I practice both in person from West Seattle and via telehealth with clients throughout Washington. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents dealing with a problem in living. I specialize in working with: recovery from anxiety or depression; addressing conflict or dissatisfaction in one’s intimate or family relationships; alcohol or drug use, or another form of addiction; and processing and healing physically or emotionally traumatic experiences, whether from childhood or current. My experiences have fostered in me the belief that change can happen for anyone.

I with individuals, couples/polycules, and families, and have experience treating a wide spectrum of issues, such as depression, anxiety, substance use/abuse, sexual health concerns, and trauma. I specialize in providing evidence-based treatments- meaning the modalities I use have been shown by research to be effective. Some of those modalities include DBT, CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Couples Therapy. I offer "Gold-Standard" DBT, including individual therapy, DBT skills group, and between-session phone coaching.

Welcome! People seek out psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes, people just need help through challenging life transitions. Others want to understand and work through deeper concerns such as persistent relationship struggles, low self-esteem or other emotional or behavioral patterns that get in the way of living a fulfilling life. Therapy is a way of exploring these and many other issues. My background is in the Arts and Anthropology as well as counseling. With a broad range of education and experience to draw from, I am equipped to establish meaningful and productive relationships with clients from all walks of life.

We all experience struggle at times. Entering therapy can be the first step in a process of gaining better understanding of yourself and the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be preventing you from living the life that you want to live.

I am continually inspired by the depth and breadth of the human experience. With a passion for learning about individuals, groups, and systems across varied backgrounds, I seek to support clients in being heard, understood, and empowered. My bachelor's degree in language studies and master's degree in social work allow me to carefully consider the socio-emotional experience of an individual, while accounting for the unique ways in which we express, perceive, and develop meaning. I offer tools and resources for practicing coping strategies outside of sessions, based on client interest. I am open to new and eclectic approaches.

Hi there and welcome! My name is Hanna Maple. I am so excited that you are here! I feel so honored to be a consideration in your mental health journey. :) As we navigate through life's many paths, we often encounter barriers to relationships with others and ourselves. Regardless of the situation, I am here to support you, listen to you, and help you reach your goals. You are not alone!

Despite your best efforts, life is unknowable - you can't always predict or be prepared for what comes your way. Difficulties are inevitable. When they occur, you might need help sorting out what's going on and what to do next. The good news is, therapy helps. When you're feeling miserable, unlovable and afraid, therapy helps. When you find yourself asking the question "why me?", therapy helps. When you're ready to step into your life and take charge of it, instead of having it take charge of you, therapy helps.

I offer a friendly, respectful and collaborative approach to therapy. I place a high priority on listening, and attending to what you say you would like to accomplish together. Your issues will be addressed in a safe and nurturing atmosphere. I will help you look at your strengths and values and how your choices - material and spiritual - can support your goals. My education over the past 35 years - formal and otherwise - has given me a broad base of human experience, and I share my thoughts and insights with my clients when it seems appropriate.

Our emotional worlds are always speaking, yet we don't always understand its language. As therapist my goal is to bring a sensitive mind to the important work of listening with you to your honest experience, for the truths that want to be heard and have much to give. We will work towards easing your most difficult symptoms while, over time, bringing curiosity as to what goes on for you at a deeper level than perhaps you knew how to think about. I aim to support you in developing a better relationship to the painful places in you, and a deeper friendship with yourself that feels liberating, empowering, and enlivening.

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.
