Christian Therapists in Renton, WA
For clients seeking faith-integrated support, I offer Christian counseling in a respectful, client-led manner.
I’m honored to walk alongside children, adolescents, and adults as they grow, heal, and thrive. Many of us carry 'little t' or 'big T' trauma that shapes how we see ourselves, others, and even God. Using evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other trauma-informed modalities like Lifespan Integration, I help clients transform painful beliefs into empowering truths.

Hi, I'm Leah! I enjoy working with individuals and couples navigating parenting, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, divorce, and other life stressors. You may find yourself overthinking, shutting down during conflict, feeling uncertain about what comes next, or feeling more like roommates than partners. Parenting, daily stress, and past experiences can add even more pressure, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you love. My approach is warm, encouraging, and focused on helping you better understand the patterns, emotions, and unmet needs that keep you feeling stuck.

With nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, Michael has successfully helped many clients with complex issues that negatively impact their lives and their families in significant ways. He believes in treating clients holistically (mind, body, and spirit) and that the work clients do outside of therapy is as important as the work they do in session. The priorities are helping clients develop skills and providing resources that will support them to make lasting change.

The dirtier the path, the better the overlook!

Thank you to all of my clients for your hard work, courage, and commitment to your growth. I understand that some of you may be looking for ways to continue working with me.

In the meantime, I strongly encourage you to continue your care with a therapist. Please refer to the recommendations we’ve discussed and prioritize finding ongoing support.

Transitions are challenging and life can be hard. However I believe that you have more assets, potential and skills than you know. My job as your therapist is to help you develop and access them. I was the Executive in Charge of Production of a national TV show when I learned I was supposed to be in mental health. On the show every week we would take raw ingredients that included family, a house and the family’s emotions and turn it into a television show that millions of Americans would watch. I learned I was a good listener and able to help people grow and rise to the challenges. It can be fun and enjoyable.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating relationship stress, communication challenges, betrayal, financial pressure, and feelings of emotional disconnection. When trust is strained or your needs feel unmet, it’s common to feel confused, stuck, or unsure of yourself. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by patterns that repeat in their relationships, and unsure how to change them. I help clients slow down, gain clarity, and better understand themselves and their relational patterns.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
