Transgender Therapists in Seattle, WA
I am passionate about working with adults, teens and adolescents exploring life under the LGBTQIA+ umbrellas. I have experience helping children, teens, adults, and parents understand and work with their own or their loved one's neurodiversities in ways that feel empowering rather than pathologizing. I am here for folks coping with and healing from trauma, PTSD or CPTSD, whether the work is about processing the past, reconnecting with the body or building new ways of coping. I am available to work with individuals and/or couples, both monogamous and non-monogamous.

Do you want a therapist who really gets you? Perhaps you and your partner/s are seeking to work on communication and intimacy in a non-judgemental environment. I am an art therapist and counselor working with individual adults and relationships from a person-centered lense. As an artist, DJ, and a queer Jewish trans woman (free Palestine!) I know how important it can be to have a therapist who has lived experience on the margins. Using a warm and direct approach, I support people in the process of living their truths, creating the life and relationships that are genuine to them.

I have current openings for couples and individuals.
Navigating our current world is no easy task, especially if you are queer, trans, non-binary, or practice non traditional relationship structures. Many of us experience depression, anxiety, intense self doubt, or even self hatred. I will offer you a safe yet engaging space where we can challenge and heal the blocks that get in your way.

I think it goes without saying that being a human is really weird.
Add being a neurodivergent, queer, and otherwise marginalized human while trying to survive in a world that wasn’t built with us in mind, then it gets even weirder. It can feel like you’re constantly translating yourself for others, managing burnout, or wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough.”
For so many of us, traditional talk therapy often misses what we really need, and at times, even causes more harm.

I work with a wide variety of people and therapeutic issues, including: LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergence, anxiety, PMDD/PME, grief & loss, mood concerns (including bipolar and depression), polyamory/ENM, healing from difficult childhoods and other traumas, helping others be kinder to themselves and develop a better relationship to their emotions, support navigating relational dynamics and communication difficulties, and unpacking oppression and privilege.

Something getting in the way of being your most creative, energized, resourceful, resilient, connected self? Therapy can give us the support we need to re-ground, remember where we’re trying to go, and keep showing up for ourselves in all the different ways.
My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT focuses on how, based on prior experiences, we may have attached significant meanings to daily internal and external cues. We can get to know this inner voice: it really wants to help, but it might have picked up some less useful strategies on the way (feeding shame, guilt, social anxiety, fatigue, grief, rage).

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking deeper and more authentic connections. If you find yourself wondering who you really are beneath the mask, feel like no one knows the "real" you, feel out of place in your body, feel uncertain about what you want from life, or are struggling to navigate relationships, we may be able to do good work together. I love supporting clients in coming to understand themselves better, strengthening relationships with others, developing coping and self advocacy skills, and in navigating major life changes. I'm particularly passionate about supporting autistic clients navigating emerging adulthood.

Many folks come to therapy because their life-long coping skills are not working anymore and it feels like life is collapsing. Maybe you feel crushed by trauma and feel you don’t have the tools to manage it; maybe you are overwhelmed with shame for causing trauma and feel broken and unredeemable.
I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change; I also believe that process is often difficult, painful, and non-linear. The good news is that you don’t need to do this alone. I will listen to you, at times challenge you, and actively collaborate with you in working through these experiences.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults who are looking for extra support as they explore their identities, experience life transitions, and navigate life in an ever-changing world.

Do you feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or struggle to be connected to your life? You're not alone. Together we can work to build the skills you need to live a life that fits within your values.

My mission as your therapist will be to support you in cherishing this aspect of yourself, while we work on any negative impacts it might have on your life. My specialty is working with adults and older teens with difficulty regulating emotion, as well as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, eating disorders, and neurodivergence.

Hi! My name is Lana, I primarily specialize in working with those who are experiencing agoraphobia, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem or identity issues, grief and chronic pain, among other concerns. I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

I'm a queer provider who has worked with LGBTQ+ folks for 12+ years. I love supporting folks in better understanding motivation to care for themselves and managing impacts of ADHD on executive function. I work well with individuals who have disliked traditional “talk therapy” and who are looking to build a better connection between mind and body, especially while navigating physical disabilities. I work with adults and older teens (16+) struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have experience working with kink and polyamory/ethical non-monogamy.

I work as a full-time clinician at Seattle Counseling and Wellness. I enjoy working with clients who experience difficulty in interpersonal situations, including difficulty knowing what to say and difficulty saying what they want to. I enjoy supporting clients in cultivating interpersonal skills like boundary setting, self-advocacy, and engaging in positive conflict. I also enjoy working with couples who are interested in developing deeper emotional connections and improving communication, including as this relates to experiencing positive, productive conflict as an alternative to unproductive, unsatisfying conflict.

No matter what brings you to seek therapy, you deserve a space where every part of you belongs. I show up in session with non-judgemental acceptance as we work together to understand and validate who you are, tend to your pain and needs with depth and care, and move towards your desires for your life and relationships.

Trauma, anxiety, and relationship distress can leave you feeling stuck, misunderstood, broken, and isolated. New clients often have trouble connecting with others, accessing joy or ease, and sometimes even having hope at all. Couples or relationship clients express not feeling seen or heard in their relationships and sometimes pitted against each other instead of on the same team their partner. My gentle, experiential, relational style meets you where you are while holding a firm belief in your capacity to grow.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
