Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Snoqualmie, WA

Self-awareness and self-understanding are important for success in the therapeutic journey. A thorough, strength-based, and holistic psychological assessment can provide young people and their families with much desired clarity, validation, and direction. A psychological assessment can inform school-based and academic intervention, psychological treatment, and pharmacological intervention as needed. Many families have youth who have struggled through school, are overwhelmed by stress, and/or have had interpersonal conflict. I help families make sense of their child or teen's unique circumstances and get them the right support.

Hi! Looking for a therapist is not easy, great job taking the first step. Choosing someone to work with on issues of depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, the addiction of loved ones, unexpected life changes, complex trauma, secondary trauma, is also no small feat. My approach is to create a safe and healing space for us to talk about and work through tough issues, to listen and hear your experience, to guide you to potential solutions and find ways of achieving your goals. I have 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples facing challenges and believe anything is possible.

Our background shape our life decisions and we develop coping skills to get us through tough times. Life challenges, relationship issues, traumas, and other hardships could get in a way for individuals to thrive and have a self-fulfilling life. I have been working with children, youth, adults, parents/caregivers, and families since 2013. I am a certified PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy) therapist and trained in Incredible Years. These are evidence-based programs that focus on reducing challenging behaviors and promoting positive relationships between children and their caregivers.

I perceive life as a journey, consisting of searching meaning and coping: Meaning in different roles and aspects of life motivates us to move forward; coping is strategies to get there from here. However, at different life stages, we often got stuck because of different reasons. Thus, either we no longer can see the life meaning(s) and/or our coping strategies are no longer effective. We are likely stuck under these circumstances, which leads to sufferings. I believe that counseling is a catalyst to facilitate the needed changes & adjustments to get unstuck and to have a meaningful life again.

If you are in a moment of trying to navigate emotional pain, you are in the right place. Reaching out for support takes courage and wisdom. With all the demand on your time, energy and attention, there is an unreasonable expectation for you to have to take care of everything, both in your external life (work, relationships, finances, etc) and internal life (your emotions, thoughts and patterns).

The fact that you are reading this shows that you are taking the first step toward healing. Finding a therapist to walk with you during a difficult time can be challenging and identifying a therapist that “fits right” is just as important as the journey itself. You may be struggling with a big life change, broken relationship, parenting challenges, health problems, anxiety/depression or marital distress among many other issues. You are ready to do the work needed to live a balanced and fulfilling life. It is my honor to hold space with you as you journey toward resolution and restored health.

I work with clients struggling with ADHD symptoms as well as clients who are overwhelmed with the stress and expectations of life. I want to talk with young people who feel like they should be able to handle things better, but for one reason or another, are not. I also want to work with the families who struggle providing the support and guidance their young person needs to attain the success they can have.

My name is Sara, I am a LMFT and a Registered Play Therapist. I enjoy working closely with kids and families to help them reach their goals. I view your family and your child's problem in the context of their life and relationships. I take a comprehensive family system's approach, which is client centered and focused on the goals you bring to therapy. We will develop a comprehensive treatment plan, taking into consideration family history, health, educational goals/needs, living situation, and cultural aspects of your life. I encourage clients to work with family and/or supports throughout the therapeutic process.

I have immediate availability! Are you a parent who feels at a loss for how to help their child? I offer emotional regulation skills for the child, and effective parenting skills for the parent. Are you ethically non-monogamous? Are you wanting to open your relationship? Do you need extra support navigating polyamory? I offer years of experience and knowledge to help you navigate this sometimes tricky relationship dynamic. Are you in the LGBTQIA+ community? Are you struggling with issues of self-worth or internalized oppression? I strive to help you discover your value and work on helping you love exactly you.

Often the struggles and barriers we face are opportunities to envision what we really want for our lives. I am here as a child & family therapist to join with you and your family where you are at in the moment, and to walk beside you towards where you hope to be. TOGETHER we will get to the heart of what really matters. I believe that each individual, from child to adult, has unique strengths to build upon. My approach establishes the foundation of treatment on these innate strengths to overcome challenges, as to move towards increased life satisfaction & healthy relationships.
