Therapists in Seattle, WA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working and training in the field for 11 years. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process and tailor treatment to your specific goals. In doing so, I draw on an integrative theoretical approach that includes elements of contemporary psychodynamic and attachment theory, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. I use these methodologies to treat adolescents and adults who are presenting with a range of conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, relationship issues, identity concerns, loss and grief, and life transitions.

I practice exclusively with online clients residing in WA, CA & NY. I am out of network for all insurance panels. Psychology has always been a passion of mine in some shape or form. I have 14 yrs of clinical experience working with culturally diverse populations in international and domestic settings. My approach is mindfulness-based with a blend of CBT, person-centered therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I have expertise treating a wide range of psychological issues spanning the spectrum of depression, trauma/anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life adjustments, serving people across the lifespan and in different settings.

Welcome to LiveWell Counseling. I enjoy working with adults and couples at various stages of their lives by helping them recognize their strengths and needs in order to solve problems and build stronger relationships. My approach to therapy is curious and client-centered, with an emphasis on the role that emotions, beliefs, and narratives play in shaping identity and behavior. In addition to helping people work through difficult issues, I also enjoy working with individuals who are interested in therapy as a process for facilitating personal growth and wholeness.

Kelsea Pelletier is a therapist and supervisor and one of her favorite quotes states, "The quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships" by Ester Perel. Many of her clients are survivors of narcissistic parents, partners and societal values who experience a deep sense of loneliness, anxiety and depression and may find themselves in patterns of people pleasing & resentment. Some of her client's also often feel lost without a sense of approval from others. Kelsea's clients are striving to feel more in touch with their authentic sense of self by coming to a better balance of internal versus external validation.

I work with people who often feel a lack of connection with their life and what connection they do have doesn't always feel authentic or free in their expression. This can show up in diagnosis and symptoms such as anxiety, depression, OCD, dissociation, difficulty managing ADHD, and complex trauma. Many of my clients have experienced some kind of loss at an early age through either death, illness/hospitalization, divorce, or other means. Whatever kind of loss they experienced it may have resulted in a form of early parentification ie. a lot of independence and responsibility at a very young age.

My Clients: I regularly work with clients on common issues such as: major life transitions, depression, anxiety, struggles with work-life balance, racial identity, family of origin issues, grief, trauma, and addiction recovery. I am passionate about working with: People of color, Students, people who identify as possessing multiple minority identities, LGBTQIA+, relationship problems, bicultural stress, cultural adjustment, sexual trauma, and issues related to sexual identity and gender. I am also comfortable working with non-heteronormative relationship lifestyles; particularly navigating issues related to open/poly relationships.

"I work with adults, adolescents, couples and children experiencing difficulty in a wide range of issues. I specialize in working with trauma, grief/loss, emerging adults (ages 15-25) and couples. Areas of interest are depression, anxiety, eating issues, women's issues, parenting support and life transitions. In my work with couples I utilize the work of John Gottman, Ph.D., an empirically-based approach emphasizing marital friendship, intimacy and respect to create a lasting marital foundation. My approach is warm, collaborative and interactive with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and a focus on your strengths and resiliencies."

Current openings! Many people think their problems aren't bad enough to seek help and continue suffering in the status quo - but if you're reading this, you must be getting exhausted! You might be wondering why you have such big reactions to minor inconveniences, or why things seem to come easy for everyone else. You've probably tried all the "self care" and are frustrated that you're still struggling. I have a particular interest in working with late or self diagnosed neurodivergent women and chronic illness sufferers. If your anxiety or pain is increasing, or you just have a sense that things are "off," maybe I can help!

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, fears, anger, relationship, or family problems? Has balancing personal life and work become too much? These are all examples of our response to stress. Some people are dealing with everyday stressors and others bring traumatic experiences into the mix. When trauma collides with stress, life becomes challenging. Addressing these issues is both rewarding and scary. With compassion/humor I work with each person at their starting point and on the issues they bring. I see myself as the Sherpa who holds the lights and other tools to help make the path safe for you.

[My schedule is full. Please contact my group practice's Get In Touch form to see if other clinicians may have openings] You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied about some parts of your life. You might be aware of the person you want to be and can be, but something is getting in the way of that and you would like to understand what. Or, you might need a place to talk about difficult experiences so you can make sense of them. As someone who truly believes in the healing power of therapy, I am glad you are considering it as a way of reaching your potential, regardless of whom you choose as your therapist.

I welcome adults (18+) of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and disabilities. I work with and have helped individuals who experience: anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, difficulties in relationships or career, meaning/purpose, feeling “stuck”, people in recovery from substance use, academic issues, and more. Many of the clients I’ve worked with want a deeper understanding of themselves and a more fulfilling life in addition to relief from the aforementioned symptoms.

I wish to serve people of color and other marginalized groups who have experienced chronic oppression and injustices. I would love to work with individuals, couples and families who are ready to step into their power and reclaim their voice. I wish to serve those who are in need of healing and need assistance processing grief, loss, frustration and exhaustion from life's trials and adversities. Being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from professionals who look or talk nothing like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

Welcome to my practice. People often seek out a therapist at a time of crisis such as a loss, transition, career change, or relationship problem. Therapy can be helpful with many such situations, and can also serve to cast a wider view on recurring themes in our lives. Thus, it can be just a few sessions, or a longer-term working relationship. I welcome, and honor, clients of all backgrounds and identities. I strive to provide a safe, open, respectful, and warm environment for you to explore your concerns. As a licensed psychologist, it is my privilege and my responsibility to offer a professional perspective on your concerns.

My approach to therapy is dually focused: I offer evidenced based interventions that teach skills and concepts to help you better manage emotional and mental discomfort. I also focus on insight, so I like to explore the deeper self, your existential curiosity, core beliefs, and values. I have found this approach can increase resilience, foster healing, and allow growth. I am collaborative, encouraging, and enjoy incorporating laughter and humor into sessions when appropriate.

I have a small private therapy and coaching practice. Some of my clinical areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, child/adolescent development, parenting, relationships, and food allergies. I often work with individuals who are highly sensitive, gifted, and/or high-performing. I will work collaboratively and compassionately with you to identify unhelpful patterns and develop new skills aimed at building a fuller and more meaningful life.

Sometimes in life we all need a “companion on the journey,” someone to partner with us and help make sense of our experience, ease our pain, and support our goals. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe environment where individuals can identify their strengths, recognize unhelpful patterns, and live into their goals. Working from an integrative, client-centered approach, I seek to support individuals wherever they are on their journey and my approach is holistic, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I value cultural humility and look forward to working with people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.
