Family Therapy in Overlake, Bellevue, WA

We are accepting new clients. My name is Hannah Khablein and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. My clinical experience has consisted of folks across the life-span; working with individuals as well as family systems as they focus on anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and folks in general seeking space to explore their life and improve their overall wellness. At the core of my professional practice I believe that the client is the expert of their own life and I aim to take a holistic approach in meeting clients where they are at in their healing process.

I have discovered that a sense of belonging, security, and peace is found within our being. I am a certified Focusing-Oriented psychotherapist with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a specialization in Medical Family Therapy . I work with an integrative psycho-spiritual approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Contemplative Spirituality, to access the innate wisdom of the body-mind-spirit to heal. If you are suffering from family -of-origin issues, trauma, betrayal, depression, anxiety, illness, physical pain, or an inability to feel connected, I can help.

I am accepting new clients. My clients are children, adults, and families. Children may present with behavior problems that are either internalized or externalized and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. Adult clients are often motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore family history, and offer solutions that feel right for you.

At this time I'm running a wait list. Please email me at lydia@lydiadeleonlmhc.com instead of calling. I work primarily with adults at this time due to my daytime availability. If you are tired of spinning your wheels and feeling like you're getting nowhere, we can work together to help you break out of old patterns that keep you feeling exhausted, worried and lonely. Using a holistic mind-body approach and focusing on healthy relationships, we can get you to a place of more peace, fun, and enjoyment in life. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve the changes they want to see in their lives.

I am an Asian-American psychotherapist based in Bellevue. My clinical training is in marriage and family therapy so I can work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a host of issues (cultural shame, addictions, anger, child behavioral issues). I also have additional training as a state-certified DV Treatment provider and evaluator, problematic sexual behaviors (therapy through Kirkland-based Prodigals International). I work from a client-centered model where I aspire to connect with clients in a manner that is real, authentic, and fosters growth and positivity.

Hola! Starting therapy is a big step, I am glad you’re taking this step with me. As your therapist, I will provide a safe, genuine and inclusive place for you to speak your own narrative. I believe everyone has their own unique experiences worthy of being heard. If you are currently experiencing challenging times, I am here to help you cope, grow and reach your full potential. Together, we can explore what overwhelms, disempowers and makes you feel unsafe. I will encourage you to be curious about yourself, find balance and empower your authentic being.

My areas of focus are children, teens, and adults. I specialize with borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, bipolar, eating disorders, trauma, parenting concerns, family conflict, and self-worth issues. I work with individuals 7 years old and up. Sessions are focused on your unique needs. Interventions are engaged that will help foster a healthy sense of self and promote healing. My session is a safe space with acceptance at the core. I am humbled to join with an individual and support them in their life story. In our sessions, your voice will be honored and used as a resource to obtain your goals.

I can best describe myself as a Competency-based, Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems therapist. Practically speaking, that means I have great respect for the challenges we all face in our lives and consider most so called "problem-behaviors" as logical adaptations to difficult situations that simply have outlived their usefulness. Therapy sessions strive to identify out dated problem solving strategies and replace them with newer more effective solutions. While I utilize a number of treatment techniques, I rely most heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral, Skills Training and Family Systems approaches.

Some of the emotional dis-regulation we see in adolescence is the teen figuring out how to express themselves, in their own unique way, with their peers, their family , and in terms of social justice. Teens want to be understood, to be accepted, however they often do not want to work hard to help you understand them.

At times in your life when issues or relationships can seem overwhelming or physical challenges keep you from living up to your true potential, working with an experienced therapist can help you find resolution and personal growth. I specialize in treating adolescents, adults, couples, seniors and caregivers experiencing anxiety, stress or depression. Therapy can provide the opportunity to discuss current life challenges in a safe and confidential space. My approach is collaborative and supportive as we work together to understand your unique pattern of thoughts and behaviors that may currently get in the way when trying to resolve difficult life issues.

Our counselors work with young children to adolescents on issues such as school performance, anxiety, relationships, and behavior. We also provide parent coaching to support parents efforts to help their children and family thrive. We believe the family is a system, so we try to also work with parents in various supportive capacities. This includes coaching to create a better family as well as helping divorcing parents co-parent more effectively.

Are you an Adult Child Raised by a Narcissistic Parent? Do you struggle with people pleasing and difficulty setting healthy boundaries for yourself in your relationships? Do you experience gaslighting that has you struggling with self-doubt? Do you tend to take on too much responsibility for others at the expense of your own healthy needs? Do you want to have more authentic relationships in your life? Are you experiencing feelings of not being "good enough?" Are you looking for a therapist that truly understands the heartache of grief and loss? You don't have to go through these struggles alone.

I offer an integrated array of counseling services based on 40 years of work in human services, treating psychological, educational, and work issues. A trauma informed client centered approach to personal development informs my work. I focus on a healthy system of relationship dynamics, short and long term counseling with expertise in mind/body approaches as well as traditional therapy. I am certified as an employee assistance professional and am very capable with work related issues and have developed expertise in career development. I am also specialized in executive coaching and telehealth.

I am passionate about helping family members improve their communication and create positive change in the family as a whole. My corporate background also helped me understand and be empathetic to clients working in high pressure jobs dealing with burnout and struggling to balance drive or pressure to achieve with personal needs.

As a long-time teacher, I love the energy that children and teens bring to their world. When changes in the family or challenges in the child or teen's social or academic world arise, difficult emotions and related behaviors can be a problem. No matter what age, children, teens, and even parents are always learning and need support to manage those challenges.

Welcome. I apply my 30 plus years of experience to assist adults, adolescents, couples, and children who are seeking happier, better balanced lives. My approach is accepting, hopeful, creative, and sometimes humorous. I use different techniques according to my client's needs, preferences and age. Therapy always addresses personal growth and success. My general orientation is Adlerian. In addition, sessions may include cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, play, art, role playing, and exploration of existential themes. I use an Adlerian approach to child / family therapy . This approach is the basis of the popular "Positive Discipline" series.
