Hi, I'm David Ravi Sitlani (he/him/his). Therapy provides you with an opportunity to engage with and gain insight into yourself and who you are in the present moment regardless of life's uncertainties and challenges. I have a dynamic practice and work with clients regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender. I primarily work with clients who are experiencing life transitions but also work with clients navigating life with with depression, anxiety and other issues that may come up during our sessions.

I view therapy as a means of connection and an opportunity to explore growth and healing through relating. I have worked with people experiencing a range of challenges, and my non-judgmental nature resonates especially well with folks impacted by individual and collective trauma, encountering a significant life transition, or living with anxious/depressive feelings and thought patterns. In process together, we will explore impacts and understandings of past narratives, meaningful relationships, current events, emotional/behavioral awareness, overall mental wellness, and ways to integrate insights into change and transformation.

Certain passages in life call one to walk hand in hand with uncertainty. I offer my clients support and guidance through periods of instability, change, and self-discovery. My approach is collaborative and process based, encouraging a sense of trust, safety, and self-agency. Integrating Jungian, psychodynamic, humanistic, and family systems techniques, I work with each individual to develop their inner emotional resources and natural creative resilience.

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. It's important to find someone that you can relate to and most importantly someone that you trust. We will work together to create a secure relationship, where you begin to feel less alone experiencing emotional vulnerability. It is my belief that lasting growth does not occur as a result of insight and understanding alone. Deep healing and change happen when you are able to explore new emotional experiences and to try new behaviors, in the presence of a supportive person (therapist).

Everyone is welcome in my office; I am honored to work with and witness folks from all walks of life. I specialize in working with queer and trans folks, especially those with neurodiversity, and people exploring and practicing non-monogamy. I'm passionate about identity development; discovering and vocalizing boundaries; and understanding how values change as we unpack internalized oppression and look at your life experiences. Therapy helps us gather an understanding of how the world views us, and reorient to stand up for our full selves.

Sometimes the current challenges of our lives, as well as unhealed wounds from the past, impede our ability to live as fully as we aspire. Through creating a safe and compassionate therapeutic space, I strive to work collaboratively with clients to consider a variety of possibilities in how they relate to and meet their unique life challenges. Ultimately, I believe that being understood is a powerful catalyst for change.

Good therapy is a gift that you give yourself: a gift of understanding, compassion, and clarity. It can lead to better relationships and the ability to enjoy what is good in life, even when bad things happen. The saying, "What is shareable is bearable," forms the backbone of my philosophy. Being able to talk about what is troubling you can help you deal with stress and relationships. I help individuals process the issues causing them stress and I help couples get to the heart of their issues.

I am psychodynamically oriented and interpersonally trained in working with individuals and couples. My approach is empathic, collaborative and straightforward, while offering you space to expand self awareness and discover new ways of being in the world.

In our work together, we will focus on repairing past wounds and establishing new styles of relating both to yourself and others.

I am a bilingual and bicultural licensed clinical psychologist with more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults (college-age up to 25), and their families from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I take an active role in my work with patients using cognitive-behavioral and family systems techniques in a supportive and compassionate environment.

Through my experience of being a therapist, I have come to believe that people change and grow through acceptance of where they are coupled with increasing awareness of areas in their lives that concern and/or constrain them. I work by listening carefully to my clients, seeking to understand their experience, and assisting them to be who they are while also helping them to shed or work with habits and patterns which are limiting them. I believe I am well-suited to being a therapist and I find the work very fulfilling.

I specialize in psychotherapy for adults with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I work with clients individually to come to a shared understanding of current difficulties as well as ongoing patterns that contribute to symptoms. Once we understand how and why these difficulties and patterns developed, we can then work towards modifying them and minimizing obstacles to change as they become apparent.

I am a psychodynamically oriented clinical social worker working with individuals in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood.

Therapy fosters greater flexibility and freedom to respond in more satisfying and meaningful ways in life.

I work with individuals who would like to explore how their upbringing has influenced the way they relate to others. Perhaps you’ve noticed the same patterns emerging in your romantic relationships or friendships, and you’d like to understand why. Do you struggle to establish and maintain boundaries? Is there something holding you back from asking for what you need and being vulnerable? Your parents may not have provided you with much emotional support due to generational and/or cultural differences. You’d like to understand whether the survival mechanisms that you’ve learned as a child are still serving you.

I want to recognize the courage it has taken you to begin the search for counseling as you face something unsettling that is occurring in your life or the life of a loved one. Maybe you find yourself navigating a difficult relationship or unexpected tragedy. Maybe you feel mired in a loss of meaning or a deep uncontrollable fear. I would consider it a privilege to journey together with you. I believe that in the relationship that we form together we can access your wisdom and courage, and mobilize your resilience and resources in order for you to move towards a fuller, richer life.

My mission is to help people & families understand their emotions so that they are less likely to be reactive & more likely to be responsive in life. During my earlier career as a research psychologist at the University of Washington I focused on working with youth & adults facing issues of homelessness & substance use problems. As a result I also studied & work with treatments for suicidality, personality issues, & a wide array of stress related disorders.

I'm a seasoned individual and group psychotherapist who loves her work. I'm guided by the belief that most of the time we have our own answers, but sometimes we need help uncovering our own answers and trusting our own judgment. Depending on your needs, we may: 1. work psychodynamically (explore your history and it influences current life), 2. work cognitive- behaviorally (explore how distorted beliefs affect your feelings & behavior) or, 3. work to resolve difficult experiences by weaving back and forth between the "here & now" and the past.

Congratulations on starting or continuing your healing journey. Life can be overwhelming. It's like searching for your phone during a blackout, without any candles on hand. I can't locate it for you, but I can assist you by offering tools and guidance to understand the situation, practice self-compassion, and ultimately realizing that you can handle whatever situation life gives you. Let's embark on this journey together, and I'll be honored to witness your growth and support you throughout.
