Gottman Method Therapists in Bellevue, WA

Welcome. I'm glad you are here. As a counselor I assist clients struggling with trauma, relationship issues, family difficulties, anxiety, life transitions, and grief/loss. I have extensive training and utilize the Gottman method for couples, EMDR for trauma in addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, somatic processing, neuroscience, Polyvagal theory, Emotion Focused therapy and attachment theory. I view counseling as an active relationship and it is through our relationships that we have an opportunity to learn more about ourselves.

Healthy relationships provide a nourishing, supportive connection that allows those in the relationship the safety and freedom to love each other and themselves well, and it can feel lonely, confusing, and heartbreaking when your relationship feels otherwise. I work with individuals, couples, and romantic partnerships who are experiencing relationship difficulties or general mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, trauma, loss). Relationship difficulties often include poor communication, conflict, distance, codependence, wanting different things, working through a breach of trust, such as infidelity, and sexual concerns.

My name is Colin Neff and I am currently accepting new clients. I work with children (10+), teens, adults and couples on a variety of issues. I specialize in helping individuals and families manage their symptoms and recover from anxiety, mood disorders, traumatic experiences, and interpersonal conflicts. In addition, I help couples navigate communication, build intimacy and work toward shared goals to strengthen their relationship.

I work with many types of clients, such as those experiencing, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and depression. RO-DBT is a proven framework for addressing these challenges and more (eating disorders, neurodivergent, self harm). In addition to RO-DBT, I work with adult couples using the Gottman Method . Other areas of work include, divorce, teen + adult grief/loss, and teen survivors of sexual assault. As a bi-racial counselor, I have a special lens of working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

I am committed to individuals, couples, and families experiencing healing, hope and peace. I have helped individuals, couples, and families work through emotional struggles such as depression, anxiety, and grief.

Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

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.

When life and relationships begin to feel overwhelming and unsatisfying, I can assist you in identifying what changes need to be made to achieve the level of satisfaction that you are seeking to find passion in life again. Are you looking for change in your personal relationship with your partner? Using Gottman Method Therapy techniques, I help you stabilize through the turbulence, and reconnect.

I am trained in and utilize the evidence based Gottman Method Couples Therapy approach. I am a Washington State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience. Over the course of time, I have worked with people in every stage of the life supporting a wide variety of mental health challenges. At this time in my career, I have decided to shift my focus towards working with couples as I have a heart for keeping you together being married and divorced myself. Couples start off dedicated to one another and feeling cherished but over time the challenges of life and personal differences erode what was so beautiful.

I specialize in working with shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, & perfectionism behaviors. I also specialize in grief/bereavement, trauma recovery and anxiety management. I also offer relationship therapy (family and/or romantic).

Start seeing challenges as opportunities to get your needs met and improve your relationship! Hello, I am Dr. Sean Robertson, creator of RDP. I work as an online Couples Counselor. I know relationships can be hard, even though they’re also one of the most fulfilling parts of our life. In my couples counseling I create an empathic space for learning and deep connection, while also being diligent about ensuring that clients implement the tools I teach. My methods are based on behavioral psychology, Gottman Method , and attachment psychology.

Life is a journey. Sometimes we need a sounding board to sort out our thoughts and feelings and gain a new perspective on life. My goal is to help you be the happiest person you can be. I specialize in working with clients with complex trauma, which is trauma related to childhood experiences. I have expertise in working with adult children of narcissistic parents. I also have expertise in working with adult clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, family of origin issues, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and career issues.

Are you struggling or stuck? Do you feel confused, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or afraid? Do you feel sad, lonely, empty, lost, worthless, ashamed, or guilty? I am here to help you to go through your emotional pain, difficult life issues, relational issues, adjustment issues, mental health issues, or other overwhelming troubles and brokenness. I will listen and work with you to solve your issues and achieve your goals, to adjust to changes, to find yourself, and to feel connected to the world around you.

My clients often feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, have high expectations, and don’t want to burden others. As a result, they sometimes have a hard time not only accepting help but asking for help too. I specialize in stress management, anxiety, moderate/mild depression and relationships. I do a lot of work around negative self talk, self-esteem/worth, assertiveness, self care and boundary setting. For individuals, I start by completing a biopsychosocial assessment, so I can learn about you on multiple levels and better understand your subjective experience. We then move on to setting treatment goals and begin therapy.

I offer 100% teletherapy for adults (individuals and couples). The foundation of my practice is based on attachment and guided by research and work by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman. I am passionate about helping others strengthen and build secure attachments. My work is centered around treating anxiety, depression, women’s issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, grief, and attachment disorders. The treatment modalities I utilize are attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), feminist perspective, the Gottman Method , motivational interviewing, and Trauma Focused-CBT to name a few.

As a therapist, my goal is to help people feel understood when struggling with issues ranging from communication and connection and intimacy and sexuality. My approach is warm, interactive and direct, guiding you on your journey toward self-awareness and fulfillment. I enjoy working with clients who are undergoing life transitions that impact their relationships, self-esteem and are motivated to change. Sex therapy is a safe place to talk about intimacy issues. Some issues could be premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, female/male low libido, sexual pain problems, and anorgasmia.
