Native American Therapists in Shoreline, WA
Maybe you’ve become so used to taking care of others, keeping the peace, or being who others need you to be that you’re no longer sure what you want. You may second-guess yourself, struggle to say no, feel responsible for others’ feelings, or lose yourself in relationships. Even when you know a pattern isn’t working, changing it can feel surprisingly hard. Therapy can be a place to understand where these patterns came from, listen more closely to yourself, and begin trusting your own feelings, needs, and choices.

We all have complex stories, and often traumatic experiences in our past become so tangled up in our present day identity and rhythms that it's hard to move forward towards the people and things we care about most. The complexity of these difficult experiences can often have a negative impact on how we feel, live, and imagine our future. But therapy can offer a landing place to pause and reflect on our stories through a new and curious lens. Untangling the threads of your past and present life, and offering yourself empathy and kindness towards your future can provide a new way forward of empowerment, courage, and creativity.

I love working with teens who are navigating difficult life transitions—whether that’s adoption-related identity questions, sexual trauma, mood or anxiety disorders, or simply feeling unsure about where they fit. Adolescence can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when you don’t have clear language for what you’re experiencing. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. Once you’re in the room, therapy becomes a collaborative process. Together, we explore what’s going on and discover how I can best support your growth. My role isn’t to label you—it’s to help you understand yourself a bit more

My clients are usually the people everyone else leans on but personally don't feel comfortable being vulnerable with others. They find it hard to express or even acknowledge their own feelings because they weren't taught how to focus on themselves. My clients are strong but need help creating boundaries so they aren't used or abused anymore. They usually have a history of rough childhood experiences they don't feel safe talking about or, don't even remember. They may not consider their past experiences as rough or worthy of discussion IE just things that happened in the past.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
