Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Seattle, WA
Even the most elite athletes don’t step onto the field without a team in their corner—yet we often expect ourselves to handle life’s heaviest transitions entirely alone. Whether you are grappling with mood shifts, the weight of interpersonal challenges, peer pressure, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion of straddling two cultures, the daily endurance required can be deeply isolating. I view therapy much like being part of an athlete’s support team: we all need a dedicated ally to help us strategize, build emotional endurance, and practice new skills in a safe environment.

I specialize in helping pre- teens, teens, and adults recover from eating and body image distress using evidence-based approaches.
I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Based Treatment (FBT), and Adolescent Focused Therapy, depending on the best fit for each client. I am formally certified in FBT. Eating challenges rarely occur in isolation, so I also integrate support for co-occurring anxiety, mood symptoms, OCD, and emotion dysregulation.

I love working with older adults, people from rural communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, teens, quirky individuals, "nerds," and those navigating news stages and phases of life.

I believe that our lives are guided by a few simple truths: we all long to be free to play, make things, and be seen by and connected to the world around us. By activating your own, unique creative potential and personal strengths, I believe that you can tap into your innate wisdom to create harmonious, lasting, and fulfilling relationships at home, at work, and with yourself. In our work together, we will utilize an intersectional framework to explore how the many facets of your cultural identity impact you, and use an array of both verbal and non-verbal modalities to help you achieve your goals.

I am a trauma therapist in the greater Seattle area, specializing in work with adults addressing the effects of childhood trauma and abuse, as well as concerns related to relationships and attachment. I view therapy as a collaborative space where complex and difficult experiences can be explored and healing can begin. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming, and our experiences may leave us feeling disconnected. My work focuses on creating a safe environment in which individuals can examine their experiences, deepen understanding of their patterns and narratives, and move toward a more integrated and fulfilling life.

Helping individuals, couples, relationships, and families adjust to the changes that occur throughout the lifespan is why I became a therapist. I constantly strive to support my clients in overcoming mental health concerns that erode self-esteem, self-confidence, and a sense of self-worth. I pride myself on being open-minded and nonjudgmental about all the ways through which one can achieve a fulfilling life. As a couples, relationship, and family therapist, I am constantly looking to have my clients open new lines of communication and learn to relate to one another with more empathy.

I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and body image distress, as well as adolescents (16+) with eating disorders and their caregivers.
Hi, I’m Chris. I help folks rebuild trust with themselves and in relationships, especially after traumatic experiences have made that difficult. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in reactivity or numbness and feel disconnected from their bodies, or feel worn down by environments that don’t support healing. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded and connected to yourself and your relationships.

I have worked in both private practice and with agencies, with children, adolescents and adults, as individuals and couples/families.
I work primarily with clients addressing anxiety, depression and relationship issues, to set both short- and long-term goals. The structure of the psychotherapy varies with the clients' needs, but I work primarily in cognitive behavioral, problem solving and psychodynamic modes. I encourage feedback and questioning, in order to get perspective and deal with both immediate and as well as underlying issues.

Are you tired of being on Life's Merry Go-Round? I can help you feel alive again! I believe that each of us is always one decision away from a totally different life. Change is difficult and stressful. Some of us fight it, some of us try avoiding it, and some of us lean into it. Change is the one thing that is certain in life. I am here to help with all the feelings and stresses that are associated with changes of every kind. I approach therapy from an individualist, holistic, and integrative lens. I believe personal health is impacted by emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical factors which affect personal health and well-being.

Welcome—I want to honor the courage it takes to be here.
Born and raised in India, spent my formative years in Florida and the past decade in Seattle’s tech industry—experiences that taught me how deeply change and identity intertwine.
Your story may come with its own challenges—physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual. These may show up as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, life changes, chronic illness, identity questions, or shifting roles. These struggles touch the way we relate to ourselves and to others, creating a gap between how we experience our inner and outer worlds.
