Anxiety Therapists in Seattle, WA

In receiving psychotherapy services from me you can expect to be heard, validated, and to learn new skills and strategies to address the problems for which you are seeking treatment. It is my goal to assist you in experiencing symptom relief, achieve your treatment goals, and to return to your desired level of functioning. As your therapist, I want you to to feel good about yourself and to enjoy full participation in your life as quickly as possible.

I have experience working in various settings including community health clinics, behavioral health organizations, and group private practice. It is enjoyable for me to work with clients of all identities with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, and stress management as they navigate the difficulties of daily life. I also have specialized experience working with neurodivergent clients in both my personal, professional, and academic endeavors.

It's natural to occasionally struggle with feelings of sadness, guilt, shame, fear, frustration, and anger, but at times our emotional experience can seem overwhelming. I work exclusively with women in their early 20s to mid-40s who may be wrestling with discomfort and uncertainty arising from life transitions, work and familial responsibilities, and chronic burdens that have become too heavy to bear. Using a gentle, encouraging approach, I offer a supportive space where you can begin to increase your awareness, self-insight, and flexibility as you learn to navigate life’s hardships with ease.

Unchosen suffering can be profoundly agonizing. What happens to us in life, can leave us feeling depleted, overwhelmed and lost. I offer mind-body focused and trauma informed evidence-based psychotherapy to help enhance your own inherent, natural capacity to heal and restore. I am deeply committed to providing safe healing spaces for those facing profound and devastating grief and trauma. Stress from many different sources can take a toll on our well-being and our sense of connection in our lives. Our work together can help you restore and gain an increased capacity to be nonjudgmentally present and in tune your most authentic self.

You work hard to make sure everyone around you is taken care of. You have set aside your own goals, hopes, and dreams and prioritized others. At this point, you may not know what you want and need anymore. You may even feel resentful toward people you’re caring for because you have no time or energy left for you. As an individual and couples therapist, I have supported many people through this journey of rediscovering joy and meaning in their lives and relationships.

I like to start with a 2 session diagnostic evaluation to help identify the most appropriate evidence based treatment for the problem. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Depression, CBT for OCD, Parent Behavior Management Training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Habit Reversal Training for Skin Picking, Nail Biting, and Trichotillomania, and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics are some of the evidence based treatments that I commonly provide. My work with families focuses on providing skills to both the child/adolescent and parents.

I have focused primarily on individuals with multiple cultural identities, such as military veterans, LGBTQ2Spirit, POC, and people recovering from various forms of trauma experience, such as physical and sexual abuse and trauma, community violence, and systemic oppression. My personal and professional background is occupationally, culturally, and racially diverse.

Life as an ADHDer can feel like persisting in a world not built for you. You got that message from teachers if school became overwhelming and you weren't taught new coping skills. Or you might be burnt out at work, comparing yourself and feeling behind. Those closest to you may not understand your struggles with organization, time management, impulsivity, and sensitivity. Maybe you've been in therapy before, but focusing on just anxiety or depression hasn't helped much. And all of this is more confusing if you were diagnosed as an adult or aren't yet diagnosed. Ultimately, you just want to feel in control of your own life.

Deciding to connect with a new therapist can feel quite vulnerable—and whether you're new to therapy, or whether you've been on your journey for some time, I commend your courage and I'm so glad you're here. Perhaps you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or maybe you hope to reconnect with yourself and those around you. Together, we can create a safe place to explore old wounds, inner processes, relationships, and lived experiences. Our work can foster a greater sense of peace, belonging, compassion, and understanding.

Becoming an adult is challenging under the best of circumstances, especially as you balance leaving adolescence and learning about adulthood. Perhaps too many changes are creating new stress you did not anticipate. Maybe adulthood is not what you imagined. Or the disconnect is creating questions about your purpose or identity as an adult. Cella will help you build skills for managing challenging times and will support you in exploring and creating the life you desire. She is eager to join your journey toward a life filled with purpose and meaningful relationships where your values, dreams, and reality are all aligned.

I am a psychologist. I see adults and specialize in work with preteens and adolescents. I am in Green Lake, am accepting new patients, and have in-person/online options. I know there are many ways mental health problems can disrupt a person’s school, work, relationships, or family life. Some are prone to anxiety, depression, or angry outbursts. Others get confused about their identity. Some self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Others get caught in dysfunctional relationships. Some are struck by loss or face serious family problems like divorce. Others have an unresolved trauma history. Some behave oddly. I know this territory.

We specialize in comprehensive assessment and therapeutic intervention for children and families. We often work with children who have learning disorders (e.g., in reading, writing, or math), have ADHD, are gifted/highly capable, or are transitioning into college (e.g., accommodations for standardized testing and in class). Our practice is currently expanding to offer more therapy services for families and children. Please contact us if you would like to discuss therapy options directly with Dr. Casto.

I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I completed my degree at New York University in 2003 continuing post graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University. I've been licensed since 2007 providing assessment, consultation, supervision and treatment with a client centered approach. I integrate a holistic approach by connecting mind, body and spiritual health recognizing that when one area improves, the others are sure to follow. My hope is to partner with you to help you find the balance and peace of life we all crave and deserve.

The complex experience of being human can leave us feeling exhausted, numb, discouraged, fearful and hopeless at times. I work with my clients to find clarity and hope by helping them connect to their values to take steps towards meaningful change. Therapy can be a space to explore different parts of yourself and cultivate a tool box of skills to help you effectively cope with the challenges life can bring. I approach therapy with openness, compassion, and utilize evidence based practices to guide my work. I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults.

Whether it is events of the past that you are struggling to make sense of or current situations that are challenging you, it is my honor to walk alongside you on this journey as you aim to sort it all out. I operate from a strengths-based approach as I truly believe that every person has the answer and solution to their struggles within them. Sometimes, we just need a little help from an outside source to uncover those answers and find our truth. Together, we will work towards healing and gaining insight from your experiences so that you can achieve your fullest potential and live a balanced life.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD and anxiety in youth and adults utilizing evidence-based interventions (E/RP & CBT), as well as treatment of depression, ADHD, and related conditions. My approach to therapy is holistic and collaborative, based on your unique goals and needs.

Therapy can be the greatest tool in understanding ourselves and creating the lives we want. It is a designated time to pause and connect with ourselves and how we are truly doing. As a Marriage and Family therapist, I believe it is my job to create a safe space in which people are able to do the brave work of looking inwards and examining any parts of their lives that feel unsatisfying, and to then support them in making value-driven changes.

Teletherapy in MI, WA, and VT; in person MI. If you're an adult or college student experiencing anxiety, depression, climate anxiety, or other concerns, you deserve support. My approach focuses on how you have developed as a person, how context affects your life, and how your symptoms are playing a role in your life. The end result of therapy can be not only a change in your symptoms but also a deeper self-awareness and a greater satisfaction in many areas of your life. I've worked and trained in community clinics, a college counseling center, and in hospital outpatient and inpatient clinics, as well as in climate-conscious therapy.
