Teletherapy for Kent, WA

I work with high functioning individuals who experience anxiety and depression which may look like perfectionism, fear of saying no, or disappointing others, self doubt, and negative self talk or maybe it looks totally different for you. I work with single people who are tired of dating the wrong people and really want to get it right the next time. My clients are intelligent and work hard but don't always believe in themselves. You may be feeling stuck or at a cross road and need to figure out what to do next and advice from friends and family isn't working anymore and you need something different. I can help you find clarity.

Individuals of any age struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and difficult life transitions may improve with treatment that accesses the creative side of the brain through a safe and therapeutic method of emotional expression.

Life doesn't always turn out like we expected or planned. All of us experience different degrees of struggle on our individual journey. Over the last 7 years I have been working with adolescents, teens, college students, adults and athletes in areas of anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions and much more. I believe people who struggle with anxiety and depression can thrive when they have a safe place to process what they are feeling. I believe that being present on your path, growing toward your goals and healing any past or present hurt can help you be the very best version of yourself.

No one knows you better than yourself. I will never claim to be an expert on you, and so it is up to you to decide the path you want us to take. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief or loss, or other challenges, I am here to support you and provide a space for you to explore your reasons for seeking help, and the goals you would like to work on.

Life can be challenging, yet opportunities for growth can often take form during our most difficult moments. Through the process of therapy individuals can explore where personal and relationship change may be needed. I offer both individual and family-based psychotherapy to assist my clients in achieving their potential. I work to assist my clients with navigating life's challenges, strengthening their relationship to themselves/others, focusing on symptom management/alleviation, along with compassionate exploration into the past to understand current impact.

I aim to provide a supportive, judgement free environment. As my client, your wants and needs will become a priority. As a team we will work together to reach your goals. I work hard to understand my clients worldview while also maintaining the ability to share outside perspective. I believe that with the right support everyone has the ability to live a fulfilling life. If you are searching for support, healing, understanding, perspective, or challenge I would love to help you with your journey.

Are you feeling alone, conflicted, tired, stressed, or anxious? I offer affordable flexible teletherapy with evening and weekend appointments. Change is hard and sometimes scary, particularly for those who are stuck or going through life changes. Are you new to adulting, parenting, marriage or divorce, empty nesting, health crisis, or recent death? Therapy and Coaching can be beneficial for people who are struggling to find the motivation they need to make positive transformations. I believe you know yourself best and with encouragement and guidance we will rediscover your full potential, find direction, and accomplish your goals.

I want my clients to know they are not alone, and that healing and peace are possible. Each Client has incredible worth and value.​ I offer a safe and nonjudgmental setting and partnership where you can share your burdens and offload the weight on your shoulders. Whether your struggle is anxiety, depression, or life/relationship issues, I hope to help you get to the root of your concerns and empower you to overcome. Especially for Clients who have trauma from experiencing abuse tactics such as gaslighting, manipulation, and any violation of boundaries, I hope to validate your experience and help you claim your life back.

You tell yourself that if you just do everything perfectly, you’ll feel okay. As long as the house is spotless. And your family is ideal (or at least looks that way on social media.) If you always say yes, constantly keep a smile on your face, and never complain about anything – then everything should be fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake this feeling of dread. And all of your efforts to appear perfect are taking a toll. To-do lists never end. No one seems to know the real you. You’re terrified that at any moment, there’ll be a crack in your mask and everyone will see you for who you truly are; this cant go on.

Maybe you’re here because you’re struggling through a difficult time in your life. Maybe you have a habitual way of thinking or behaving that leaves you feeling exhausted and you’re wondering what change and growth might look like for you. Or maybe you just feel stuck and alone. Whatever your circumstances, I offer you a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings, to get to know yourself more fully, and to find hope for new possibilities. I work with individual adults (18+) dealing with anxiety, depression, relational issues, life transitions, grief/loss, and spiritual unrest.

Hello! I am a Family Therapist that works from a systemic approach believing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Individuals that have experienced sexual exploitation, abuse, and sexual trauma will find that my approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, non-biased and culturally competent.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW). I am passionate to assist clients with healing the mind, body and spirit while seeing each person as an individual in the context of the environment. I use a relational, humanistic, client centered and strength-based approach while acknowledging that each individual is unique and motivated through free will to achieve their highest potential. I hold space for vulnerability and acceptance during each session. I work with BIPOC identified people with their intersectionalities and how it relates to systemic oppression.

Accepting new clients now! My name is Sahro Diriye and I provide therapeutic services for clients dealing with anxiety, trauma/PTSD, depression, addiction, and interpersonal relationship with self and others. I approach therapy by exploring psychological problems that are often results of childhood trauma and repressed impulses. The goal is to bring these problems to light and to find balance by decreasing the guilt associated with those repressed impulses. I provide client centered therapy, a technique in which the client can express themselves without judgment and bias.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Each client is the expert of their own life and thus will recognize what tools will help improve their situation best. In therapy, you will receive support and I will help you gain insight into the issues you are facing. Whether it’s ongoing issues, a recent event, or you want to improve your life to be a better you; together we will develop tools that will help you achieve your goals.

You may be noticing that you are struggling with the stress and anxiety that life brings. You also may see changes in your mood, motivation, and self-worth because of it. Naturally, that may spill over into your work, personal relationships, and family relationships. You may also resort to unhealthy behaviors like substances, food, video games, etc. just to feel better, or not feel at all, only for a short while. You are not alone in how you are feeling, and there is also room for you to grow and heal to be your best and healthy self. You deserve better, and I can help you get to a place where you start to give yourself better.
