Therapists in Bellevue, WA

When depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or current and past trauma are affecting your life, finding a counselor who "fits" you can be an additional challenge. My approach begins with establishing a relationship of trust with you as the foundation of working together to find a path through life's difficulties. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful and accepting space in which you can move, with your own wisdom, toward healing, growth, or change. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds: teens, adults, couples and families in Spanish or English.

Are you feeling stuck, unsure who to talk to,and wondering if talking to a counselor will help? Personal issues can be really tough to deal with when it feels like no one understands or you don't have enough support. I provide a safe and confidential environment for you to examine your issues and figure out ways that you would like to deal with them. I enjoy working with adults, youth, and families and helping them on their journey to greater self confidence, happier relationships, and generally improved sense of well-being.

My specialties include low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma-related issues, insecurity, attachment styles, and FOO (Family of origin) issues. I tend to work well with clients who appreciate connection, honesty, and humor; who are interested in learning new things; who are into music and arts; who possess sensitivity, intuition, and a spiritual inclination. I particularly enjoy working with bilingual/bicultural individuals experiencing an identity crisis; college students or young professionals feeling stuck; and parents/couples who wish to improve their parenting/partnership by healing their own emotional wounds.

When life and relationships begin to feel overwhelming and unsatisfying, I can assist you in identifying what changes need to be made to achieve the level of satisfaction that you are seeking to find passion in life again. Are you looking for change in your personal relationship with your partner? Using Gottman Method Therapy techniques, I help you stabilize through the turbulence, and reconnect.

My passion is helping individuals navigate through life challenges and move towards greater self acceptance and inner peace. I work to individualize my approach to the unique needs of each client.

I enjoy working with women and teen girls on self esteem, identity, and a positive body image. My education and training is primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Hi! I'm Jackie and my superpower is connecting with young people. I've been working with children and adolescents from around the globe for over 25 years. As an educator, I learned about the developmental stages that shape a child's needs, emotions, and behavior. Now, as a therapist, I'm thrilled to engage with children and their families in a way that builds strength and resilience. I received my MA in Counseling from NYU and a post-graduate certificate in Play Therapy from Antioch University where I discovered a passion for Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy.

You're here for two reasons: 1. Either to work on a persistent challenge or 2. To work through the repercussions of COVID. Either situation presents strong emotion. I will talk with you about both - they're connected - but I will gently (and insistently) remind you of the good things that are or that should be. Fundamentally, psychology twins with philosophy by asking the big questions (Who am I? What do I need? Why is it so? Could it be otherwise?). It carves a different path, however, in that it offers answers. I want to help you fall in love (again? the first time?) with your journey and, by extension, with the human journey.

Your life feels like constant struggle, your worries keep you awake at night. Yet, you get up, put your best face on, and pretend that everything is OK. Wanted to get help but you are afraid to show what you are going through. You have been suffering; your relationships are suffering and deep down you know that something needs to change. If any of these applies to you, I can help. Sometimes all it takes finding a safe place and someone who are willing to listen without judgement. I can provide you a safe place and help you find your strength and build skills for a better life.

I help individuals, couples and families deal with the tension that comes with life transitions. My approach integrates counseling and spirituality. It encourages hope and empowerment to the lost, lonely, and left out, allowing them to move to a place of wholeness and healing. Working with a wide spectrum of cultural and religious backgrounds, I have the ability to meet people where they are at in their journey. Over the past 20 years, I have provided pre-marital and couples counseling through various relationship levels including marriage contemplation, pre-engagement, engaged and married to decoupling/divorce.

I am a counselor who works with couples, individuals, kids and adults. I work with couples who wonder if the "happily ever after" does exist and couples beginning their married life together and believe that it does. I collaborate with individuals who are finding ways to transform a problem that they have been coping with so that they can live the life they desire. I work with people who have loved someone deeply and are finding that living a life without that person is difficult. I enjoy working with families to help them find peace and happiness in their homes.
