Sexual Abuse Therapists in Port Ludlow, WA

I offer a unique, holistic approach to transformational healing and growth through a weaving of shamanism, psychotherapy, and coaching. I am direct, compassionate, and intuitive in working with clients, offering deep integrity, fortitude, and over 3 decades of shamanic practice supporting journeys of healing, personal mastery, and authenticity. The transformational work of embodying who you truly are and why you are here is a beautiful, challenging journey of embracing and integrating all of who you are with deep compassion and fierce love. A journey I invite you to take and am honored to support.

Relationships are important for our well-being. Relationships can also be very difficult at times. Some relationships are more difficult than others. Whether you are having difficulties with a spouse, partner, boss, or friends, I can help you learn to have better relationships with others. We will work together in finding ways to navigate difficult people and how to leave interactions feeling good. I want to help those that are currently or survived emotional abuse in finding recovery and provide a start to having healthy relationships.

Are you tired of feeling lonely or dissatisfied in your relationships? Do you ever wonder if you just weren't "cut out" for love despite wishing desperately for it? As an Intimacy Coach, I specialize in teaching individuals and couples how to cultivate deep, satisfying and authentic relationships. Together, step-by-step, we will examine what gets in the way of vulnerability so that you can finally get close to others. As a team we will work to shift your fear of getting hurt into the courage to open. You will learn how to get your words to match what's really true on the inside.

I provide trauma-informed integrative care to individuals with a history of trauma, childhood trauma, neglect, and/or abuse, PTSD, C-PTSD, traumatic grief, and intergenerational trauma. As a whole, I work with individuals who come into therapy with a specific goal to address anxiety, mood, or ADHD symptoms to improve daily functioning. During our work, we often find that there is an undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or unattended history of trauma that compounds mental health symptoms and overall functioning. We work to address symptoms and stabilize functioning through evidence-based interventions, along with process-based therapy.

I have worked successfully with many people with many different diagnoses. Whether it's past trauma or abuse, depression, grief and loss, anger, anxiety, mood instability or low self esteem, I compassionately guide my clients in re-claiming their natural state of health and well being. I am committed to and respect the inherent human quality in all of my clients.

Anxiety, depression and other issues can take us off guard, blindsiding us by suddenly challenging our confidence, undermining our autonomy, and bringing to mind some of our most difficult experiences. It is common to assume these problems will go away on their own or if we just take a break. It is my experience that over time these problems reoccur in even more confusing and disorienting ways that might lead to crisis, leaving us feeling even more isolated and vulnerable. Sometimes the most difficult step is just asking for help, to place ourselves in a position of vulnerability.

My name is Sally (Sarah) Zehrung, and I am a dedicated and experienced therapist committed to guiding my clients through the process of recovery and renewed empowerment. With over a decade of clinical experience in trauma-informed care, my mission is to provide a safe and compassionate space for exploration and growth. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event, struggling with anxiety and depression, or navigating the unique challenges of chronic illness, I offer tailored support that addresses your individual needs.

My clients are multi-dimensional people - with physical, psychological and spiritual needs - who are doing the best they can to have a gratifying and meaningful life. My role as a therapist is to assist each person to expand their awareness of self and interactions with others, and to identify and change unsatisfying patterns and behaviors. Partners: When couples first start counseling, they often have a lot of anger, hurt, and sadness. Couples therapy is designed to find solutions to problems, express and let go of resentments, rebuild trust through good communication, and learn to live with different points of view.

Couples, Older Adults, Adults. Please call to schedule a free phone consultation. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships! I view therapy first and foremost as a relationship that arises from a conversation. That conversation can be transformative and healing, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me.

I work with adults and couples who want to better understand themselves as they work through challenges. I gather information and help generate ideas that support autonomy and healthy relationships. I support clients as they find strength in a challenging world, adjust to life transitions, and manage difficulties such as families, illness, grief, depression, and anxiety. Using EMDR therapy I can assist clients in processing and healing from personal trauma(s). I see therapy as an active and collaborative process. I am here to listen and to help you navigate a desired change.

Dr. Lintin understands how stepping into your truth may be frightening. There is no right way to uncover emotions that may be blocking you from living a fulfilled life. Everyone has stories to tell, unique, inspiring, challenging and sometimes devastating. The shocking thing is that many people walk through life without ever sharing these life events and so often with trauma, the guilt and shame can stop you from telling anyone causing difficulties in your relationships with others in both personal and professional life.

Right now all of my Insurance slots are full, so I am only taking on self pay clients. .......The soul can find it's self as long as it knows some one will hold it gently and carry it's song until it is ready to sing again.

Sometimes in life we face struggles that arise unexpectedly or sometimes our struggles have been long term. You deserve to live each day better than the last. I'm here to help you achieve that goal. I treat each person individually and we work together to come up with a plan to help you face your struggle.

My practice is focused on the resolution of trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which effectively and efficiently treats trauma. Trauma can be a single event such as a car accident or sexual assault, or could be more complicated, involving childhood trauma. Memories of these events can cause big feelings to erupt, avoidance of similar situations, nightmares, and even flashbacks that make it feel like the event is still happening to you. Below is a simple, animated description of how EMDR works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrfH43srg8
