Therapists in Seattle, WA

Your subconscious wiring is creating your current life. Let us gently rewire and recode. You may feel trapped in your own mind or feeling stuck. The therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist allows for authentic, honest communication that can feel like a breath of fresh air after going through life telling people we are “fine” when we aren't. We all have a complex and emotional story to tell. I want to help you align with your true desires and values so that you can create the life you want. You get to have abundance, ease, grace, and peace.

The stressors of day to day tasks can drown out the voice that may have deeper connection to your intuitive and wiser self. Being in therapy can potentially allow you to listen to yourself in a unique and meaningful way. My hope is to provide an empathic environment to explore and challenge some of the barriers, often self-created, keeping you from your goals. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families.

I offer virtual therapy for clients residing in WA state. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief, stress management, and relationship issues. If you feel stuck in your current situation and don’t find joy in life, I can help you connect to your inner strengths and resilience and live an authentic, meaningful, and balanced life. I strive to create a safe, judgement free space to explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are of concern to the client. Together we identify the most appropriate goals for therapy to improve your current quality of life.

I aim to empower others like me who have constantly heard “it is not okay to go to therapy and share your personal life with anyone,” to help shift this tabooed narrative into a more positive one. It is OKAY to share your personal life with someone who can help build that trusting relationship with you, and it is also okay to express your feelings and emotions without feeling the pressures of shame and guilt. I use the space we create together to encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, and managing relational and personal challenges.

Do you prioritize other people's needs over your own? Do you avoid expressing your needs and feelings, have self-doubt, imposter syndrome, have difficulty setting boundaries, find yourself in toxic relationships and very easily slip into a caretaker's role? You might have had difficult experiences growing up that shaped your understanding of people and relationships. Childhood trauma can affect the choices we make as adults resulting in loneliness, anxiety and depression. If you are tired of these patterns, want to take charge of your life and are ready to form healthy reciprocal relationships then you have come to the right place.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.

Is anxiety holding you back in your personal or professional life? Are you constantly overwhelmed with a sense of urgency while feeling paralyzed at the same time? Maybe you feel like you’ve lost all sense of control over your relationships and your life, and that feels scary. What’s scarier, though, is continuing to feel stuck, anxious, and unhappy. You deserve to feel good and be happy, and I believe that therapy can help make that happen. Through targeted interventions and introspection, I help high achieving millennial professionals manage anxiety, voice their needs, realign with their purpose, and nurture healthy relationships.

I am a clinical counselor with a profound dedication to guiding clients on their unique paths of healing and self-discovery. Specializing in trauma recovery, emotional well-being, and authentic self-leadership, my approach is deeply rooted in compassion and professional clinical expertise. I provide a nurturing and safe environment where individuals can freely explore and overcome their personal challenges. My commitment extends beyond mere coping strategies, aiming to empower each client with resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of their own journey.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Aqssa values Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Existential Therapy, integrated with evidence-based best practice, to create balance and integration in her clients. She believes in guiding the client to their true path and allowing them to know their own power and intuition.

Empowering children, teens and adults to overcome challenges in their everyday life and help them rediscover their strengths and interpersonal competencies is the focus of my practice.

We ALL need a therapist, whether we like to admit it or not. We’re either struggling with our internal dialogue or external actions and behaviors, having the space and freedom to say what we wish to but can’t/won’t goes a long way in helping us feel more like us.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming human experiences such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may be hindering our quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.
