Bisexual Therapists in Seattle, WA
I work with individuals and with non-traditional relationships including polyamory, ethical non-monogamy and I have over 20 years of experience serving the QUILTBAG (queer or questioning, undecided, intersex, lesbian, trans, bisexual, asexual or allied, gay or gender diverse). I don't name issues and disorders because labels are important to the people who pay the bills. Help, Support, and Knowledge from a person willing to stand with you when life is becoming hard and solutions aren't easy to see are more important then any diagnostic name or code for what ails you.

I also enjoy exploring sexuality, gender, and identity and specialize in working with bisexual, pansexual, sexually-fluid, bi-curious, and label-free multisexual adults.
Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human. In our work together my focus is building a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what you think and feel, want and need. My style as a therapist is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I use playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and laughter to support the therapy process and I prioritize taking time to get to know you and what's important to you.

My experience informs my practice; I am White, gender/queer, trans, bisexual, have lived as polyamorous for over 12 years, have sought gender affirming surgery, and I am a religious trauma/cult survivor.
My interests are in working with adults that have experienced trauma, grief and loss, religious trauma, family of origin issues, people diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, and Depression, as well as LGBTQIA+ people and people experiencing gender dysphoria and/or seeking gender affirming surgery. As a social worker, I believe it is important to name systemic oppressions, such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, capitalism and the ways they intersect in order to acknowledge the harm we continue to experience on a daily basis.

I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture, and believe these experiences and identities have a place in a successful therapeutic relationship. Further, I have experience working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals, and all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome clients. I believe in the power of community that is built on shared values and experiences. If you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ and/or gaming communities and would like to explore these identities as part of your therapy experience, or you would simply prefer a therapist within these communities, we may be a good fit.

You've been doing your work, but are finding it's not enough to make the changes you're ready for on your own. You're getting clear about what you want, but need help seeing it through. Making changes can be one of the most difficult things in our lives, especially when they effect our relationships and people we care about. My hope is to encourage the process of change by helping clients make difficult choices and to learn to identify and speak their Truths aloud to themselves and to others. My ideal client is close to being ready to take action, and needs some moments of support in those final moments.

I am passionate about social justice causes in both my professional and volunteer pursuits.

Often therapy begins with an implicit question, such as “will I be okay?” or, “can I feel better?” Other clients might wonder if they will be accepted for who they are, both in and outside of therapy. I welcome you to bring your full self into our space together. I am here to meet you where you are with warmth and unconditional positive regard. Everyone needs something a little different - to move through stuck points, to gain insight, or to reconnect with oneself or others. Whatever your needs, I believe therapy should be flexible and responsive to your individual circumstances. We will co-create an approach tailored to your goals.

I do not see the term “mental health” as meaning “absence of stress, problems or psychological challenges,” but the learned ability to keep on functioning and living your best life possible, in spite of these things. Thank you for considering letting me witness and, hopefully, take part in your story!

Hi, I’m Laurie. I am a mental health care provider offering supportive, attuned care for the perinatal period. My clients are birthing individuals and couples on their journey to and through parenthood: pre-conception, birth planning, or adjusting to new parenthood. These are folks dealing with depression, anxiety, loss, medically complicated pregnancies and infants, trauma, and figuring out their new role as parents. As a birth professional for over 20 years, I also support others looking to process vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and other issues that arise related to caring for birthing families.

Therapy is an intentionally created space for whatever it is you need - a place for goal setting and accountability, a container for recovery, repair and forgiveness, a room for grieving, a safe space for developing self compassion and deepening vulnerability. It is my honor to accompany you on the journey - to truly see you, hear and understand you, and care for you as you navigate the difficulty of being human. I work with: couples in all relationship styles, individuals aged 13-99, and family therapy where everyone in the room is above age 13.

I believe in the importance of helping individuals seeking to show up authentically in all parts of their lives. Through compassion, non-judgmental guidance, and by challenging patterns where you find yourself stuck, we are able to promote personal growth and change. I work with individuals and couples to better understand their boundaries and how to strengthen their ability to communicate them. My approach to counseling is informed by CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and EMDR. EMDR therapy is an effective therapy method that supports healing from trauma, ingrained negative core beliefs, and other distressing life experiences.

Available for weekend and weeknight sessions! Currently, I am specializing in relationship issues, self-esteem, and women’s issues. I have more than 8 years of experience working with anxiety, mood disorders, and complex trauma. My strong suits are empathy and my ability to really understand where someone is coming from, and I use that to develop a positive path forward. Rather than sticking to a particular method, I custom tailor my session to meet the unique needs of each individual. Earlier in my career, I was published in peer-reviewed journals for my research in Clinical Psychology.
