EMDR Therapists in Seattle, WA

In this day and age we have so many things pulling us in all directions. We have doctors appointments, school functions, social gatherings and so many other things where we constantly have to send our energy. Sometimes it can be hard to remember to take care of our mental health in there as well. Prioritizing this is so very important though. It is what helps us to be able to not just survive but also thrive.

For over 19 years, it's been an honor to partner with individuals, couples, and families to reconnect where there are divides, repair places of harm or loss, and restore hope. Together, we'll weave a wholistic picture of your experiences, family history, culture/ethnic influences, strengths and struggles so we can cultivate deep healing - in relationships, daily thriving, faithful living, and fullness of heart. For those who share a faith-oriented view of the world, we can integrate spiritual beliefs and resources into our work together. (If not, please know that you will be held with deep honor and respect.)

I am not your average talk therapist. Clients often come to me after they've tried talk therapy but without significant, meaningful results. Working with me is highly experiential and dynamic. My mission is to guide people past guilt, shame and fear towards their personal power so they can lead a life of freedom and wholeness. I work in terms of 3 month Intensives. I practice therapy to support real change in people. I want you to dedicate yourself to 3 months of focused, intensive weekly work and then get back to your life as whole person!

I am DEDICATED TO HEALING: MIND, BODY, AND SPRIT. Here you will find support and guidance. Is something holding you from moving forward? Do you experience joy? Live your best Life! Anyone may get stuck,and require a little extra support. You will learn new tools to better manage the ups and downs of your life. Hypnosis can be your first and fastest way to healing. My style is compassionate,and non judgmental. I will provide a safe space where healing and growth can occur. I mix traditional counseling, coaching, hypnosis, DBT, EMDR , and other therapy to assist and speed your healing.

Crisis and life challenges can serve as a threshold leading to depth, healing, and deep personal meaning. I consider myself a partner who walks with my clients through challenges as they discover strength and insight. I enjoy working with people who are committed to growth, healing, self-exploration, and self-discovery.

Brené Brown says that “sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” My clients are those who want to show up for themselves. They are often deeply-feeling, highly-sensitive people who have struggled to integrate all parts of themselves, but who are ready to experience the confidence that comes from owning painful chapters of their stories. My clients have often survived trauma and want to meet their past in a way that opens up freedom for their future. In other words, my clients are brave change-makers who haven’t yet fully realized that their sensitivity is perhaps their greatest superpower.

I provide therapy to people who wish to make lasting positive changes in their lives in a warm, safe environment. I have extensive experience working with people who have loved ones who have completed suicide and/or are working through other complicated grief issues. I am a certified hypnotherapist and EMDR trained for PTSD and trauma. I am experienced helping with self-esteem, personal development, marriage or premarital counseling, depression, anxiety and divorce recovery. Other areas I work with are Crisis Management, Anger Management, Traumas, Adult ADD/ADHD, Sleep Disturbance, Career Counseling, Social Discomfort and cultural issues.

Hi - I'm Alyxx. My pronouns are they/them. My ideal client is someone living on the fringes, someone who feels like they have never quite fit in with the thin/white/cis/het esthetic that is so predominant in our culture. If you are ready to do the work to change, I'm ready to walk that path with you!

I am fully trained in EMDR and working towards certification. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Psychological Trauma from Antioch University Los Angeles. With over a decade of direct service work spanning from the education field to domestic violence shelter management, I have developed a deep passion for serving survivors of trauma.

Accepting new clients as of 03/01/2023. Thank you for visiting my page. I am passionate about working with individuals whose lives have been affected by depression, anxiety, and trauma. Those who seek to reclaim their lives from past experiences, reach their full potential, improve their performance (athletic, personal, professional), build self-awareness, and create a fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. Please get in touch with me for a free consultation if you think my expertise is a good match for your goals.

Whether you are dealing with stressors related to past trauma or current life challenges, you don't have to work through the emotional struggles alone. As we face complex challenges unique to the multiple roles that we hold in your life, it's easy to get lost in everyday responsibilities, ignoring the potential warning signs of depression and anxiety. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, restless, racing thoughts, exhausted, stressed, living in survival mode; give yourself permission to heal! How you think+how you feel+how you act, creates your life. Take a mindful approach to an awake and poised you.

Feelings of despair, anxiety, rage, confusion, hopelessness, and depression are normal responses to a broken world. This brokenness manifests as oppression, inequality, trauma, destruction, and violence. Sometimes it can seem impossible to feel whole given the state of things. And yet, it is my deeply held belief that we can heal both individually and collectively, to find ourselves whole again, belonging.

If you are looking for an empathetic and supportive space for recovery, then you are in the right place. My training and experience over the past 10+ years has led to the creation of Wetterau Wellness, a private practice dedicated to healing and personal growth. I am a source of support for those, including birth parents, who may struggle with issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or unprocessed trauma (birth/postpartum, past abuse, etc.). It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child; I believe it takes a village for any person, regardless of age, to feel cared for. You are not alone in this.
