Depression Therapists in Seattle, WA

I take the mysticism out of therapy. We both know that not everything is "about your mother." Figuring out why you are the way you are can be interesting and even enlightening, but it's worthless if you're still experiencing the same emotional pain. You have the ability to make changes in your life. Things don't have to stay the same.

I believe a commitment to therapy is a commitment to oneself. It is very powerful to commit to grow and change in ways that increase a sense of personal satisfaction with one's life. I work with individuals who want to resolve issues of unrest, dissatisfaction or distress that recur in their lives. I believe as clients learn to increase their trust in themselves they can better trust others and better direct their lives.This work involves coming to a better understanding of the influence of past experiences, as well as present influences, and may include exploring deeper spiritual isssues.

Whether your goal is to achieve greater self awareness, build stronger personal relationships, heal past wounds, or just feel better about yourself, a therapeutic relationship can help meet that goal. I would like to join you on your journey of self discovery as an advocate, partner and guide. My particular approach is help you discover your own natural resources by tapping into your subconscious to uncover blockages to healing and actualizing your fullest potential. This approach is especially useful with trauma related disorders, depression , anxiety, addiction and habits that are hard to break.

I am not currently taking new clients but I am always ready to letters of support for trans and GNC people in a single session with a suggested $100 fee. I am a queer polyamorous agender woman (she/any) with a disability. I specialize in working with queer and trans folks coping with anxiety, depression , and concerns of daily life. I am also polyamory friendly and ready to support people navigating open relationships. I might be a good fit for you! My approach to counseling is collaborative, meaning that I hope to build a relationship with you so that we can tackle your goals together.

I work with adults (men in particular) and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression , dating and relationship issues, divorce/parenting/coparenting or communication of their needs in order to build stronger and deeper connections with themselves and others. It can be incredibly challenging to build healthy emotional attachments to the people in your life when dealing with anxiety, depression , poor modeling and the struggles of everyday.

My approach is direct. I tell people what I think and encourage them to take responsibility for their lives.

Therapy provides an opportunity to get to the root cause of whatever is getting in the way of your achieving satisfaction in your life. It is in that deeper place where lasting change is possible. I believe effective therapy is client directed and compassionate. It must also be done through the unfolding of a therapeutic relationship where safety, insight, vulnerability and playfulness are encouraged and supported. Through my years of experience treating mild to severe problems including anxiety, depression , trauma, relationship, parenting and transitional issues, I have become good at helping to focus this process and achieve results.

Welcome to my profile. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, panic, acute and chronic stress. Symptoms of anxiety, depression , avoidance, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, chronic illness, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties may be due to unresolved trauma from earlier in life.I utilize newer psychological approaches, such as EMDR, Somatic Transformation, Lifespan Integration, which are designed to change the way your brain processes information. All will involve talking about your feelings, thoughts, images, body sensations and integating conceptual knowledge with emotional and body experience. We may often "target" memories from the past to heal the present and visualize a positive future.
