Teen Therapists in Seattle, WA

I believe that everyone can develop the skills necessary to live the life they’ve always wanted, and it begins with their mental health. My goal as a therapist is to help clients explore their past, their patterns of thinking, and their behaviors in order to adapt and overcome. Using an individualized and integrative approach, clients will develop the skills needed to reach their goals and become drivers of change. I work with clients to address issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and stress. I am also trained in EMDR as a trauma treatment modality.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

Welcome to Whole Beings Counseling and thank you for adding me to your search. To be helpful lets regain access to inner wisdom for self advocacy through review of your strength base building practices by use of expressive arts therapy (life has been your stage), explore dreams (Adlerian therapies), explore play& traumas to connect with your inner child/ teen or find your inner parent, track sensations with the mind, body and spirit for grounding purposes in our sessions.

I work with people of all ages—child, adolescent , and adult. I have strengths in working with children, with people experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma reactions, and with people who have been abused in the past. My goals are to help you make the changes you are ready to make, and to help relieve the struggles you are having.

As of 3/22/23 I have immediate openings. Have you or your family encountered recent stress, transitions, or relationship problems? Have you felt weighed down by feelings of depression, anxiety, or low self esteem? Are you wanting to improve your relationships? It can be challenging to ask for help which is why I applaud you in taking this first step. Together we can take a look at your goals and start taking steps toward making change.

I like to start with a 2 session diagnostic evaluation to help identify the most appropriate evidence based treatment for the problem. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Depression, CBT for OCD, Parent Behavior Management Training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Habit Reversal Training for Skin Picking, Nail Biting, and Trichotillomania, and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics are some of the evidence based treatments that I commonly provide. My work with families focuses on providing skills to both the child/ adolescent and parents.

I believe it is important to listen carefully and develop an understanding of your concerns and difficulties. After getting a clear picture of what is happening, we can begin to work on and explore areas of your life that are significantly impacting you. I strive to ensure a safe, collaborative and caring environment that allows for your growth and change. My therapeutic orientation is a combination of humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducation, and emotion-focused therapy.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and work with children/teens, individuals, couples, and families.

Welcome! I am glad you are here and taking the first step to make change in your life. I practice from an integrative perspective to fit the needs of each client. Each person has a unique situation that requires me to listen to your story with compassion, curiosity, and openness. I work with clients across the age-span, though I have extensive experience with ages 15-30. Many of my clients enter therapy after a life crisis such as a struggling child or adolescent , a death or illness, a change in career, a break-up, the affect of an addiction, identity issues, or simply patterns of worry or regret.

My calling is to support women and teen girls (15+) to overcome anxiety, relationships, and trauma lead more empowering and fulfilling lives.

By offering compassionate guidance, you will experience greater self-love and self-acceptance, leading to more secure relationships and personal fulfillment.

Are you wishing for better relationships? Feeling anxious, down, lost, or wondering about the meaning of life? Would you like to feel more confident? Hoping to heal after trauma? Going through loss or life transition? We need lots of self-compassion so we can heal and find a better approach to our lives and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental space to be open about your struggles and explore what it means to live in your values. It is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients. I believe the struggles we face also occur in the systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity.

It's hard to be a teenager today. Between the pandemic, balancing extracurricular and academic responsibilities, having a social life, managing stress, being yourself and fitting in, facing climate change, and planning your future, being a teenager is TOUGH. You get on an app, and everyone’s life seems better than yours. You’re constantly under a microscope, your life forever documented, and it feels like you’re competing with everyone all the time. There’s a constant struggle between being unique, and being like everyone else. Others might think your life is full of fun and adventure, and yet you feel vulnerable.

My name is Meghan and I am here to partner with you on the journey of becoming your best self. We all have challenges in life, it's what we do with those challenges that makes us stumble or grow. Having a supportive guide along the way can make all the difference- this is my goal in working with you. Together we can pave a path toward greater connection and happiness. I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and families since 2007, assisting with family transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, identity formation, and more.
