Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Seattle, WA
Waitlist for individual therapy. - I specialize in working with folks who are stuck in negative patterns in their relationships to both self and others. The hardest patterns to break are often rooted in childhood family dynamics and societal pressures, which can lead to anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and relationship conflicts. I can help you break these cycles by allowing you space to cultivate self-compassion, explore the roots of your challenges, and replace old patterns with new ways of being. I work with clients of all identities and particularly love working with adults who are newly diagnosed as neurodivergent.

People often reach out to me because something about work no longer feels sustainable, meaningful, or aligned - even when things may look successful from the outside.
Some feel stuck between several possible paths. Others are questioning a long-established career direction, struggling with work-related stress, or trying to make sense of recurring dissatisfaction at work. I also work with students and recent grads who want to make thoughtful career decisions early on rather than drifting into a path that doesn’t really fit.

If you're being honest, life is "meh." You're perpetually tired, no matter how much sleep you get. To others, you may seem “okay,” but deep down, there's a gnawing in your gut. "Isn’t there more to life than this?"
Therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical or about “fixing” you. It can be a space where you finally get to put everything down for a moment. No pretending. No performing. No pressure to have the right words.

Despite your best efforts, life is unknowable - you can't always predict or be prepared for what comes your way. Difficulties are inevitable. When they occur, you might need help sorting out what's going on and what to do next. The good news is, therapy helps. When you're feeling miserable, unlovable and afraid, therapy helps. When you find yourself asking the question "why me?", therapy helps. When you're ready to step into your life and take charge of it, instead of having it take charge of you, therapy helps.

Therapy is a space for you to feel heard, validated and supported. It's an approach to feel less anxious, work toward goals, heal from trauma, and improve relationships. It can sometimes feel impossible to find ways to thrive in the capitalistic, oppressive system we're in, especially for marginalized folks. It is my goal for us to find ways for you to feel safe, fulfilled and content.

What if your therapist were a real human in community with you? Someone who shares your values and concerns. I'm a neurodivergent, queer/trans, and non-monogamous clinician passionate about serving others in these communities through my open, accepting, real, and direct style. I'm not a blank slate - I'm here to get into the mess with you and help you tackle any problem, no matter how complex. I'll help you navigate systems, build communication skills, learn to regulate your emotions, and build executive function through systems that actually work for you.

I approach therapy first and foremost as a relationship and focus on the parts of you that may not be fully conscious. Often, meaningful change happens not by forcing it, but by allowing something deeper in you—something naturally oriented toward growth and wholeness—to lead the way.

Chuy’s approach to therapy is grounded in a relationally focused psychodynamic framework. She views therapy as a collaborative process where clients’ strengths, values, and lived experiences are honored as essential parts of the healing journey.

Many of the people I work with are self-aware, capable individuals who still find themselves stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or disconnection. They may have tried therapy before but are now ready for something deeper a process that reveals why these patterns persist and how to create lasting change. My clients want more than symptom relief; they seek meaning, connection, and a sense of inner peace. They’re ready to move beyond old narratives and live in a way that feels grounded, free, and aligned with who they truly are.

I work with a variety of issues and concerns, but passion and primary focus is helping people work through trauma. I use a variety of methods, which include DBT for distress tolerance, ACT, and EMDR. In the true spirit of EMDR, I believe that the past is always present, and many current presenting concerns are often manifestations of trauma that have yet to be processed. I like to work with body-based interventions to help people learn to self-regulate activated nervous systems, and then process memories that often are at the root of current distress.

I am an integrative and culturally sensitive driven therapist who works with individual adults to unlearn systemic inequalities and process intergenerational trauma, grief, and anxiety, so you can confidently befriend your feelings, navigate life transitions, step into authenticity, and feel more at home in yourself. Often times when we are going through something difficult, it can be hard to see our way out. This may lead to spiraling thoughts, a lost sense of security and safety, thinking "I'm not good enough", consistently feeling on edge, and feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

Since 2018, I've worked in a range of settings, including inpatient substance use; outpatient adults and children/ adolescent/family; mental health/veteran's court; jail; and community based treatment for youth/families.
I believe that people can - and do - change and everyone is the expert of their own life. Walking along side individuals/families in their journey, I draw on skills from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, and relational therapy to identify and expand upon strengths and goals; increase awareness of thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to better understand ourselves; and establish effective problem solving, conflict resolution, and communication skills. My primary objective is to work myself out of a job; reach out to find out more!
