Opening 1 additional Day of appointments - 9 openings available beginning in October.

Not too many people enjoy change and these past few years have been nothing but a roller coaster! I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and understand how you're doing. How have you been affected by changes? Is BreakThrough! right for you?

Find healing. I offer multiple art therapy methods for ages 13+ to facilitate your mental and emotional healing, from simple mark-making to Neurographica to assessments that unlock your unconscious mind. If you want to just talk, then we'll do that. This is your path to healing. Come as you are. There's no art experience required to benefit from art therapy. Your creativity comes from within you, not from the opinions of others. In art therapy, your inner thoughts and feelings become your muse, helping you see them from a new perspective.

The path to healing is not one-size-fits-all or linear. Regardless of who you are, we're all out here just trying to be human. The decision to seek help is not an easy one, but my calling is to make the process feel safe, approachable, and welcomed. My goal is to be your mirror and witness to your story. I hope to create a collaborative and safe space to address your needs, achieve your goals, and bring peace and contentment to your whole self.

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Dan and I am a counselor at Self Space Seattle. My passion lies in helping individuals and partners navigate life's complexities, whether it be anxiety, depression, or strained communication and fractured trust.

Struggling with a sense of disconnection from oneself and others, placing personal needs last on the to-do list, and questioning whether life could be more fulfilling or joyful are common feelings. Nowadays, many individuals are experiencing anxiety, feeling swamped, and facing uncertainty about managing their relationships, careers, and overall lives. Neglecting one's needs and not allocating time for self-care can result in enduring problems for both mental and physical health. It is my belief that living a better life shouldn't be this difficult.
