LGBTQ+ Therapists in Bellingham, WA

Email Preferred! FulI but my supervisee open; see website. I specialize in working with college students and LGBTQIA + people (16 - 30), including the transgender /gender diverse community. This includes a range of queer identities (non-binary, ace, demi, pan, intersex, etc.). I also welcome people from all walks of life, including those who do not identify as LGBTQ + (heterosexual and cis people); again, the college student population in general is a focus of mine. I also love geeks and gamers. I work from Compassion Focused (CFT), Client-Centered approach, but I tailor my approach for each person. (Dropping Regence in Sept. 2023!)

Congratulations on taking a big first step to improving your mental health and wellbeing. I’m so glad you’re here. As a queer and non-binary therapist, I understand the importance of feeling represented and validated by those in the healthcare field. My goal is to co-create a safe and supportive space for you to explore and celebrate your authentic self, while also developing strategies to manage difficult life transitions, daily stressors, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with those in the LGBTQIA +, polyamorous and consensual non-monogamy, and kink communities.

Welcome! My name is Hannah, and I believe that every individual deserves to be heard, affirmed, and supported as they work to build up skills to address the issues they are facing daily in their lives. Thank you for taking a minute to read my bio to see if I might be a good fit to come alongside you on your journey. I use a person-centered, trauma informed, multimodal approach to ensure each client is supported while identifying and working towards their goals. Along with this, I also believe it is important to understand the interconnectivity of cultural, historical, and social impacts and experiences within one’s life.

I am passionate about offering specialized services to individuals, couples, and families in gender transition, BIPOC, and the LGBTQ2S+ community, including letter writing in support of gender affirming medical and surgical care. I use culturally competent, research-based modalities to help you shape the change and growth you want to see, and I honor your pace as we approach and engage with the work. Family Therapy fee same as Couples.

Sorry- I'm not accepting new clients at this time. I provide supportive, strengths-based therapy for women and and gender-diverse clients. I know you are the expert on your own life and I view therapy as a collaborative process to deepen your self-understanding. I incorporate elements of many types of therapy including humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help you explore relational patterns, understand connections between your thoughts and feelings, learn new coping skills, and increase your self-awareness and self-compassion.

The focus of my services is providing growth and discovery for those undergoing emotional, mental, and health related journeys. I strive to deliver gender affirming mental healthcare via tele health in Washington state. I specialize in helping clients who are exploring or struggling with sexual identity, gender dysphoria, trauma survivors, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. My goal as your clinician is to meet you where you are, and provide you with the tools you need to reach your ideal self. Reach out to me and lets have a conversation about working together. Request a free consultation on my website.

Welcome! My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I work to support clients in developing an increasingly complex and embodied understanding of themselves in the context of the relationships and systems that they interact with. Through our work together, clients can expect to uncover habitual patterns of behavior that interfere with living the life they want, and over time to experience an increased sense of choice and flexibility in their actions. I aim to support individuals in developing a greater sense of comfort with themselves, and an increased ability to cope with the inevitable challenges that life offers.

Restoring balance and healing our self-limiting beliefs really is possible. Often, our life stressors point to where we need to heal. My passion is working with folks who are motivated for that change. I work with bottom-up psychotherapies like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and Brainspotting to treat anxiety/depression, grief and loss, PTSD, past traumas or current triggers, abuse, concussion, birth/pregnancy issues, chronic pain, performance expansion and more. We'll explore the origins and impacts of distress, develop self-compassion and grounding practices, process trauma and negative thoughts, and re-regulate your nervous system.
