EMDR Therapists in First Hill, Seattle, WA

Accepting new clients and I am in-network with Kaiser. Are current events triggering feelings of worry, frustration, and confusion? Perhaps, past traumas are affecting your life and holding you back from the happiness you know you deserve. I would like to help you reflect, clear up, and heal. I offer telehealth sessions to clients located in Washington State.

Undergoing intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy is deeply personal. For many individuals, this adventure into unknown recesses of their psyches reveals personal vistas previously unimagined. Such exploration frequently involves painful disclosures, frightening discoveries, an extraordinary development of self-understanding, an increase in capacity for intimate sharing, and an integration of strengths and aspirations. Such a journey, with phases of both pain and exhilaration, usually takes place over an extended period.

It takes strength and courage to face your problems head on yet, if we don't we will only continue to live in doubt of ourselves and the world around us. Starting therapy is not an easy choice but, hiding behind our fears will ultimately just leave us feeling stuck. I believe we all have a warrior inside of us that can get us through anything life has to offer and I would like to be a part of the process in your discovery of this internal strength.

Welcome! I am a warm, compassionate and experienced counselor who works in a collaborative style that allows you to draw upon your own strengths and experience in order to grow. Trust and a sense of safety are the necessary foundations for effective treatment. You need to feel connected and understood to share your internal world. I respect the tremendous courage it takes to face up to deeply buried or avoided thoughts and feelings. My ability to listen, follow and connect deeply will enable you to feel safe enough to explore the problems which have hindered your life and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is focused on helping adults who are experiencing distress in their lives. My areas of specialty include, but are not limited to, trauma, Posttraumatic Stress, depression, anxiety, and dissociation. I emphasize an individual's strengths and work to help people feel empowered in their daily lives. I use a variety of tools to do this, including EMDR , DBT, and other evidence based practices.

I work with my clients to make sense and meaning out of their life experiences. The search for meaning is a powerful tool for dealing with trauma, loss, pain, anxiety and depression. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients make meaning of the moments in life in order to live a reach and meaningful life.

I welcome you to heal and grow from past/present stressful situations in a professional, emphatic and validating therapeutic environment. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Wellness Counseling Inc. with 12 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I am English-Spanish bilingual.

Are you feeling stuck? What's getting in the way of living a satisfying life, one with heart and meaning? You may be coming to therapy because of a new development or something very old, you may not even know what it is. You may also be adding to your burden by judging your self unfairly. But there is hope, therapy can usher in exciting transformation. When we can embrace the gifts that come with challenges, old fears lose their power. I deeply enjoy helping clients explore/work through difficulties with the purpose of breaking old patterns and intentionally creating a new path forward. Healing and growth is possible for you too.

Sometimes we need some extra help. We may have an increase of unease and unhappiness. With all that is going on in the world today, it’s easy to have feelings of displeasure. As a clinical social worker, I am interested in helping you find your pathway forward and leveling up to the best version of yourself. Using a strengths based approach with a blend of CBT, humor, and empathy, I hope to support you with finding your best self and uncovering your existing resilience. I have training in EMDR and am interested in supporting you to resolve your past traumas. I am currently offering telehealth services only.

Welcome to Willow Therapeutic, a trauma-informed and inclusive therapy practice for healing and well-being. My name is Shelly. I’m a licensed, clinical, mental-health counselor, offering adult and couples psychotherapy in-person and through telehealth in IL and through telehealth in WA. As your therapist, I strive to create a caring relationship built on trust and understanding, so you feel free to explore your potential for personal growth and psychological issues, such as trauma, mood stability (anxiety, depression), life transitions, and your relationship to yourself and others.

I often describe therapy similar to the saying "everyone has baggage". It can be difficult to hold your own baggage while sorting the contents, trying to organize the things inside, or trying to find something you lost. My role is to hold your baggage to allow you the space, time, and understanding to do what you need to with what is inside.

I have provided counseling services to clients since 2008 and have experience with a wide range of mental health and behavioral disorders in a variety of treatment settings to include crisis stabilization units, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, inpatient substance abuse treatment centers, outpatient community mental health, and both inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment in correctional settings. As such, I have gained extensive experience working with individuals with complex issues and have varying degrees of trauma.

Queer of Cups counseling is a place for queer/trans folks, fat folks and spiritual seekers of all kinds to feel seen, experience community and find relief from trauma, fatphobia, toxic productivity and many other issues that impact mental health. As a fat, queer, nonbinary witchy person myself living with Bipolar Disorder and other chronic conditions I know what it's like to feel invalidated by providers and out of place in the spaces of community you long for. I know what its like to fight for a sense of hope and meaning in spaces and with people who only know or accept pieces of you. You deserve healing without compromise.

I provide telehealth and in-person session from Mindspot's downtown Seattle location. Clients are often suffering from the symptoms of anxiety, past trauma, and dysfunctional relationship patterns, often due to diagnosed (and undiagnosed) personality disorders, PTSD, and mood disorders. Safe space is made for decompressing and normalization via talk therapy, and progress is made using scientifically backed methods like EMDR , WET, CBT, DBT, and more.

I love to work with female or LGBTQ professionals or artists who experienced difficult childhoods or abusive relationships, who struggle to let go of the past, or who feel "like they are not enough", have to prove their worth, or settle for less. I love to help women heal and move on from hurtful relationships. I love to empower creatives and entrepreneurs to overcome performance anxiety or burnout. I offer a safe space for polyamory or consensual non-monogamy.
