Working with clients has been both a personal and professional honor and privilege. Life is a journey filled with desired or undesired opportunities for growth. My approach is deeply rooted in connection while we work together to navigate all of life's moments. I like to use techniques and interventions from Family Systems and Solution Focused Therapy. In sessions we will explore how family systems, previous or current, can impact life experiences while working to identify relevant solutions and highlight your personal strengths and capabilities.

As a black therapist, one of my key areas of focus is the intersectionality of mental health and race. People of color often face unique stressors and systemic barriers that can make mental health challenges much more prevalent. The stigma associated with seeking therapy within many communities of color can make it even more difficult to reach out for help. Consequently, I am dedicated to destigmatizing mental health conversations within these communities and ensuring culturally competent care for my clients

My practice is in neuropsychology, and I am specialized in evaluation, assessment, and diagnosis of neuropsychological conditions; I am not a practicing therapist. I work with those age 4-90+ to provide diagnostic clarity & outline treatment recommendations. Everyone has personal strengths and personal weaknesses, & we could all use a little help in certain areas. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation allows me to identify cognitive strengths & weaknesses and better understand behavioral functioning & emotional functioning to get the widest, clearest picture of the individual as possible.

Welcome! My name is Dan Meier and I am a relational, psychodynamic therapist. In practice, this means I work collaboratively with my clients and pay special attention to stories, embodied messages, and relational dynamics. I work this way because I believe harm and healing both take place within the context of relationship. Counseling offers the opportunity to explore our painful stories in the presence of an attuned, compassionate professional and rediscover our hope. Together, you and I will work toward meaningful change, greater self-acceptance, and deep healing.

Hello! I am currently a psychotherapist intern pursuing their Masters at Seattle University to amplify my knowledge on the neurobiological aspects of trauma, and to support clients in strengthening the intricate connection between mind, body and spirit. I believe that by listening to our body’s innate wisdom, we can uncover and address underlying patterns that may be contributing to our challenges. I emphasize a neurodiversity affirming and trauma-informed approach which is grounded in a relational-cultural framework, recognizing the profound impact of culture, identity, and social context on our well-being.

“Shame can't survive being spoken: Shame needs secrecy, silence, and judgment to survive, but empathy can destroy it” (Brené Brown). Empathy and shame resilience are core to my practice. Perhaps you are thinking you don’t want to hide anymore; you are tired of feeling triggered; you feel hijacked by anxiety and depression. Clients can expect me to hold a safe but brave space where we explore these issues and unearth shame. From my own time in the client’s chair, I’m well acquainted with facing pain—and vulnerability hangovers. Not easy but worth it. I would be honored to sit with you and discover new possibilities found in healing.

There is no manual for parenting. You may have a child or teen moving through the world looking through a neurodivergent lens. They may seem more sensitive, reactive or demand avoidant then their peers. Perhaps you are noticing your own sensory system is getting overloaded when your kids are pushing your buttons. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, OCD or generalized anxiety disorder and you are realizing that you are a lot like your child but it never occurred to you that you may be neurodivergent yourself. Perhaps your child is gender expansive or LGBTQI+ and you are working hard to best understand them.

Psychology works because it is a way to help people understand their problems and correct or change so that they can live more healthy or satisfying lives. Many people come for therapy if they are experiencing problems with depression, anxiety or relationship issues. Some other common problems that I help treat are problems with work injuries, sleep, weight, stress, trauma, and sexual problems. These problems can be greatly helped through therapy. I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting each individual’s needs rather than using one form of treatment.

I know life is complicated and you would not be seeking therapy if you were not in one of those complicated moments in life, whether it be about a relationship with your spouse, your child or simply with yourself. My goal is to help you find a way to navigate those muddy waters and to make life not quite so rocky. I personally have a passion for parents and kids. I have worked in the field of child welfare and adoption and have seen the impact trauma has on the young and the old. I recognize how early childhood trauma impacts an individual throughout their life and impacts all relationships.

Hi! I'm Elisha :) I am the therapist for you if there is a part of you that feels emotionally stuck, shut down, and/or stunted; feels lonely in a room full of people, feels many of your relationships are superficial; intellectualizes and/or avoids emotions; could be described as a "workaholic" or "overachiever"; suspects some of this is connected to your childhood; wants to avoid therapy. I love helping clients heal and thrive in spite of their past, feel more comfortable in their own skin, expand capacity for broader emotional experiences, cultivate meaningful relationships, and reach their highest potential.

I work with moms who are struggling with their partner and looking for a safe space to open up about the toll parenting has taken on their romantic relationship. You may be wondering if it's supposed to feel THIS hard to connect and get along with each other. Parenthood stirs up lots of issues that you never knew were there before kids. I will help you gain a deeper understanding of what is at the core of your relationship issues and how to confidently talk about those issues with your partner so minor disagreements don't keep leading to major blow-ups. It takes guidance, patience and practice to start healing what's been broken.

As a therapist I work with tweens, teens and young adults (11-25 yr. old) ,caregivers/adults. Adolescence can be fun and also can be stressful, confusing, and painful. I work with young people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, emotional dysregulation/distress, relationship challenges, and who may identify as neurodivergent. I also work with parents/adults. As parents, whether our child is or is not willing to get therapeutic support, doing our own work to care effectively can have invaluable impact in our children's lives. I help parents to better understand their child, support regulation, and model effective skills.
