I counsel people who strive to excel and do good in the world. They often start therapy during transitions, needing to recalibrate old ways of thinking and acting to feel and function better. Some work in stressful careers and struggle with mood, motivation, attention, and work-life balance. Some experience social anxiety, avoidance, isolation, conflict, or depression. Some suffer with intrusive thoughts, avoidance, “stuck” thoughts, and distress associated with trauma. Some express systemic, existential, and spiritual concerns for the world. Some are young-adult or middle-aged men striving to adapt and grow through life’s stages.

I love working with people who sense that talk therapy alone isn't enough to transform those places in their life where they feel stuck—whether this be due to persistent anxiety or depression, trauma, childhood abuse or neglect, or trouble with relationships or self-worth. As a somatic (body-based) psychotherapist, I can support you in learning to listen to the embodied cues that live beneath your thoughts and follow them towards more vitality, ease, and resilience—and a deeper sense of who you really are. While our work together will of course involve verbal exploration of your story, we will always keep the body in mind.

If you have struggled with trauma related to childhood abuse, dysfunction, attachment issues; and/or interpersonal violence (domestic abuse, sexual abuse) I can help! I also specialize in helping clients diagnosed with BPD unpack and heal their underlying trauma. In working with me, you will learn how to HEAL your trauma without constant use of coping skills to dull the pain. First session is free.

Our trauma informed coaches, not therapists, understand the impact of trauma that can leave you feeling stuck, stagnate, scared, alone, and held hostage to your situation. The Arrive Method is built on the intersection of multiple techniques that unlock a new sense of safety, connection, and freedom—faster than traditional approaches ever could.

I work with individuals whose issues range from the effects of serious trauma to those needing help meeting personal and professional goals. Most of my clients are result oriented professionals. As a solution focused therapist, my primary goal for each session is to facilitate movement and create value. One of my areas of focus, Work Life Stress, Trauma, and Burnout, has led to a decade working with countless Amazonians. I have a deep familiarity with the company culture, and of the unique challenges and rewards inherent to working in that space. I’m also adept at working with chronic and acute mental health challenges.

As a therapist, my mission is to help individuals find the strength and resources within themselves to gain insight, enhance their ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, and regain control of their lives. Working collaboratively, we will establish goals, develop a path toward achieving them, and confront obstacles to change and develop personalized tools and skills. I have dedicated my decade-long career to helping individuals navigate the complexities of sexual health, intimacy, and relationship dynamics, in addition to empowering clients to manage and overcome their struggles with anxiety, OCD and low self-confidence.

Hello! I am Kelly, a mental health therapist. My specialty is working with ADHD in adolescents and adults, as well as recently diagnosed adults. ADHD can have a crippling effect upon self esteem and general life functioning. I think ADHD is a gift and can allow us to operate and think in ways that can be very insightful. I have spent the last 4 years working in middle school, high schools and working with high level engineers and executives from major Seattle based companies with ADHD symptoms. ADHD comes in many packages, please allow me to assist in helping you to create a positive platform to launch from.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.

The Antioch Clinic offers low-fee counseling and assessment services for individuals, couples, and families of all ages. We are open over 40+ hours a week Monday - Friday. We offer a low fee, sliding scale (beginning at $0), based on household income to help all those who are struggling economically.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

Being human is both beautiful and hard. Along with joy and happiness, we can feel anxious, depressed or experience other forms of emotional distress. Together, we will investigate what your experiences of grief, loneliness, isolation, and anxiety may be trying to tell you about your life and where it may be possible to change these conditions to find more joy and happiness. We will explore larger questions about what it means to be human. As a therapist at Self Space, I seek to create a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood so that you can have the courage to look inward and discover what may be holding you back.

Are you struggling with thoughts, emotions, memories, grief, loss, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, panic, anger, feeling stuck, or worried about your relationships? My therapy practice is based on a belief that everyone has a unique history with many experiences that shape and transform our ways of being and interactions. Each person is beautiful and whole with a powerful story. So many factors impact our development, how we see ourselves, and how we relate to one another. Sometimes it can be difficult to know who we are, who we want to be, or how to take the next step.

Do you feel that your life is out of control and you aren't sure how to get back on track? Do you find yourself feeling "stuck" and unsure what to do about it? Therapy can be a place to find your sense of control and learn how to heal. Working together, we can figure out the best way for you to live your most authentic and fulfilling life.

Everyone has the innate capacity to grow through difficulties and my goal is to support and empower you to connect to your inherent inner resources. I work with adults struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, self esteem, divorce, stress, and behavioral addictions such as porn and shopping. I believe that growth occurs through caring, compassion and learning to reconnect with the wisdom of your body. We will build on your strengths and shed the negative messages of dominant systems. We will discover what you really care about to establish loving connections to yourself and others.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, self esteem, SUD, and struggles related to life transitions. I help clients find the solid ground they need to support forward movement and a more positive trajectory. I begin by working with clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves to arm them with the knowledge necessary to address their problems and make changes necessary to develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve the quality of their lives. I am non-judgmental and work to create a space in which clients can freely explore, uncover, and accept themselves more fully to live fuller, more meaningful lives.

I offer individual and group services to people with different kinds of life circumstances, disabilities and goals. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor & Certified Rehabilitation Counselor providing evidenced based mental health care and vocational counseling for adolescents and adults. I specialize working with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorders & have since 1996. I enjoy working with individuals facing difficult life circumstances, challenging adjustments, and reconciling past issues. My specialties include working with people with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Learning Disabilities and ADD/ ADHD.

I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients. I see my role as helping people identify self-limiting beliefs, emotional blocks and other barriers that keep them from leading lives consistent with their authentic selves and their values. I combine theoretical and psychological insights with more pragmatic skills training (relaxation, conflict-resolution, communication skills). I have an active, direct counseling style that combines genuine empathic listening with therapeutic challenges.

As an organization we recognize that QTBIPoC folx tend to experience disproportionate amounts of mental health disparities due to large gaps in our current mental healthcare system. Here at MEND we believe that part of addressing those gaps is through the consistency of our intersectional feminist lens. In an effort to promote equity, we are expanding our team and client population to include members who hold identities that have not traditionally been offered at MEND. And while we center supporting QTBIPoC folx, we also offer services to those who do not hold these identities.
