Therapists in Seattle, WA

I work with clients struggling with anxiety and depression with focuses in existential issues, low self-esteem, men's issues and life transitions. The individuals I work with look to gain understanding and develop the ability to make decisions towards living a happier life.

My name is Vanessa and I'm so honored that you are considering me for your counseling journey. Therapy is highly effective with a compassionate therapist to walk by your side and encourage you on your path to improving your life. I offer unconditional positive regard, a non-judgmental approach, and will remind you the whole way of all the love you deserve. I've helped many different types of clients improve their relationships, create peaceful environments, replace negative thoughts with positive ones, overcome trauma, communicate better, and more. My primary specialties include Autism, ADHD, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Desiring to bring connection, healing and vibrancy back into your own life or your relationship? Have you and your partner begun to feel more like roommates than soulmates? Desiring to regain a sense of personal identity and purpose? Change is possible. I work with couples to move them from disconnection to a transformed connection. Individuals from mundane to whole-hearted living.

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions, a noisy chaotic mind, or feel disconnected from your self and your purpose? Let's work together. The current world we live in can often feel overwhelming, and can make us feel stuck, anxious, or low energy. I work with trauma, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and self-expression, among others. Together we can work to metabolize traumatic experiences and emotions, expand your toolbox of helpful coping strategies, heal and deepen your relationship with your self and others, and help you live in a state of grounded peace and self-empowerment no matter what challenges arise.

I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety and depression, but I also see clients for a wide variety of challenges including procrastination, perfectionism, family and relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Additionally, I often work with clients with a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities, and with those in non-monogamous relationships. Together we can find ways to help you feel better and live more fully, consciously, and comfortably.

Life can be painful and we may feel stuck sometimes. Maybe you are finding yourself or your relationships feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, or hopeless. My goal is to build an authentic and trustworthy therapeutic relationship where you can work through your life experiences, past or present, in order to live life more freely. I offer individual or couples therapy and have particular experience focusing on issues of identity development and self-esteem, relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, and sexuality.

I specialize in self-esteem, anxiety, codependency, women's issues, life coaching, relationship issues, marriage counseling, stress, divorce, and infidelity. I work with individuals and couples who are feeling stuck in rhythms or patterns that aren't working and don't feel good anymore. If you're looking for something to change, but have run out of things to try on your own, I can help you find the right next step. Together, we'll build your confidence and skills to live the life you want to live.

Seeking therapy is a courageous, empowering step. Although you are strong, you shouldn't have to walk through life's hardships alone. I provide individual and couples counseling with a mindful and compassionate approach around subjects such as grief and loss, depression and anxiety, reclaiming one's self esteem, relational trauma, conflict resolution, fertility struggles, and new motherhood, to name a few. I am continually amazed by our natural ability to heal and thrive given the right kind of attention and caring presence.

I am genuinely passionate about helping young women navigate early adulthood with all its challenges and complexities. Coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression can often impact the pursuit of what you truly want in life—both individually and in relationships—bringing waves of despair and moments of discouragement that often feel overwhelming. These fears can be all too real and can leave you feeling lost and alone. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you explore your emotions and feelings, discover your inner resilience, and take steps toward self-compassion and a greater sense of trust in who you are.

We work with individuals, couples, families, teens, and children. Our therapists are trained in various psychotherapy modalities such as EMDR, The Gott man Method, EFT, Hypnotherapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. We help clients address issues related to relationships, self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and improving overall mental health and well-being.

My practice currently focuses on supporting adults age eighteen and older. Issues may include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self esteem, identity development, parent support, spiritual questions, or significant life transitions, among others. I work with clients towards greater wholeness, self acceptance, relational satisfaction and overall wellness in their lives.

Hello! I am accepting new clients on a case by case basis and am willing to place people on a waitlist. Don't hesitate to reach out. I provide individual therapy via telehealth with the option of including people of your choosing. I hold a deep belief in the inherent capacity for growth and change that exists within every individual, regardless of their circumstances. Nothing is more gratifying than witnessing your own personal growth. My approach is client centered and creative. My clients come from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, gender identities. I look forward to working with you.

I help clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism/over-functioning, work burnout, depression or unresolved childhood trauma. Each of my clients is an expert in their own experience, and my role is to help you understand the obstacles holding you back from making positive change in key areas of your life - like in relationships, your career, or in building a healthier self-esteem.

My approach involves empathically engaging with your past, present, and future to increase self-empowerment and identify new paths toward thriving. The process of therapy is a collaboration between the client and clinician, but you will be the ultimate agent of change in your life. At the heart of my process, I use sensitive-inquiry and mindfulness-based practices to nudge you toward an integrated relationship with yourself. I will encourage you to feel deeply, tune into the physical sensations of your emotions, and find meaning-making systems. Self-compassion is a primary emphasis in my work.

Have you experienced something in your past that you feel is holding you back from achieving your full potential? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, there's a small voice of doubt in your mind that stops you from taking a chance or living an authentic life? Maybe you have tried to make a change, but always feel stuck or like it's impossible to take a step forward in the direction you want to go. Maybe you're worried about the judgment from others if you were to make a change and start living your life for yourself. If you feel ready to receive support throughout your healing process, I am here to hold space for you.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. I will update as openings become available. Wishing you wellness on your path. As an art therapist and clinical mental health counselor, I work primarily with adult women who have a desire to explore and transform emotions and symptoms into authentic expressions through art making. Sessions often include talking, mindfulness, somatic grounding, art making, and other forms of holistic and evidence-based therapies. Through the process of creative exploration, clients discover strengths and resources within themselves that help them solve problems and recover a deeper sense of self.

As a licensed therapist, I have over 20 years of experience helping clients get to a better place. Today, many of them are thriving in healthy relationships and living authentic lives filled with passion, purpose, and a sense of meaning. Despite what you're going through, there is hope for a better tomorrow. I can say that with certainty because of what I know about the human spirit. It is resilient and has the ability to recover quickly from hurt, pain and some of life's more challenging issues. If you found me, something is preventing you from living your best life, the life you were created to have. I can help.

I am a spiritually-oriented psychotherapist who brings energetic depth and heart-felt attunement to each client. If you struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, problems with authority, parenting issues, difficulty with intimacy, perfectionism, addictions, feelings of isolation, rage/anger, numbness, or "living like a zombie," I invite you to contact me so you can begin to rekindle and conduct the force of your inner light. I am comfortable with your fullest expression of difficult emotions and will help you to experience yourself as inherently worthy of safety, respect, and intimacy with others.
