Therapists in Seattle, WA

I am very skilled at supporting clients going through major life changes, such as new or chronic illnesses, aging, grief, loss of relationship, change of job, mid-life transitions or retirement. Our identities evolve as we navigate life transitions and losses. It can be hard to trust that someone else can meet you in that space. The feeling of vulnerability can be overwhelming. Having worked as a Palliative Care and Oncology Social Worker, I have extensive experience supporting clients with grief and loss. I have seen how it can be difficult and objectifying to interface with doctors and the medical system in in the face of illness.

My clients come to therapy struggling to understand themselves and their partner, leaving them feeling hallow, lost, and alone. They desperately want to feel secure in themselves and connected to their partner, but are confused and wary about how to begin changing. As a therapist, I meet this dilemma with warmth and compassion, as well as knowledge and confidence; this combination is the base of successful therapy. My similar life experiences make me genuine and relatable, and my training background from the top marriage and therapy program and ongoing advanced training support and guide our work.

Have you been stressed, depressed, or anxious recently? Do our systems leave you angry at best and empty at worst? I am here to support you as we navigate through a society that emphasizes profits over people, and devalues and degrades so many of us. I focus strongly on social justice and how the lack thereof impacts our mental health. You deserve a space to share your emotions and values and find meaningful solutions. I am casual, laid-back, empathetic, neuro-divergent and candid and I welcome and embrace all.

Sometimes our emotions are incredibly difficult to listen to. They are always speaking to us, like messengers trying to relay information, but often there are blockages that keep us from trusting our emotions, or knowing how to truly listen to them. We can quickly talk ourselves out of things that somewhere deep down, we KNOW to be true. I want to help you by providing an environment where all the complexities and parts of you are allowed to show up and have a voice at the table. I will provide a safe space for you to sort through your complex, layered and sometimes confusing emotion - to find your most authentic self.

Hello and Welcome! I'm LaSaundra McCurty, I provide individual therapy for all your needs. My approach is rooted in compassion and tailored to your unique needs. I have supported countless clients in overcoming life's hurdles and rediscovering their inner strength. My role as a therapist stems from personal and professional motivations. Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My job is to empower and provide a safe space for healing.

Finding a right therapist can be tough, especially when you're dealing with the weight of anxiety, relationship issues, and depression. Facing the challenges of these can transform each day into a battle, affecting not just your mood but also your overall well-being. I appreciate you taking this brave step to improve your mental health and seek support. Now accepting new clients.

I am a trauma-focused therapist working with adults and adolescents through a strengths based and person centered lens – you are the expert on your feelings and experiences. I treat a variety of issues and diagnoses, but I am most passionate about working with those who have experienced trauma – in particular childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, and immigration trauma – as well as grief, depression, and anxiety.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate, and as someone who has also been in the client seat, I consider it an honor to walk alongside you on your journey towards wholeness and healing. Our lives are woven with intricate relationships—with others and with ourselves—bringing both joy and pain. In our sessions together, we'll tenderly explore these past hurts, emotions, and perspectives, offering a space for transformation and growth.

Throughout my work, I have learned that many people feel confused, lost, alone and ashamed when it comes to sex. In particular, many people I work with feel conflicted about their porn and masturbation habits, paying for sex, or their ability to keep agreements with partners. As a certified sex therapist, I offer a non-judgmental space to help you identify which behaviors are no longer serving you, as well as to cultivate the kind of relationship you want to have with your sexuality. I am also qualified to treat sexual dysfunction issues (low desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual pain).

People often come to me when the notice they are hiding their feelings and desires to appease others, or are having a different time trusting and connecting to those close to them. I help people struggling with intimacy, vulnerability, and people-pleasing to find the confidence and self-compassion to lead a more fulfilling life. The stories society and our family tell us about ourselves, and the stories we choose to repeat, have a powerful impact on our self-image. I believe we all have the ability to change our narrative. I am invested in supporting you in making meaning from these narratives; in owning your story.

NOTE: While I am qualified and licensed to provide and bill insurance for mental health therapy, I am only providing short-term life coaching at this time. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds who want to be free from suffering and are interested in exploring how changing our thoughts (and/or our relationship to them) can bring about profound and lasting emotional relief.

I am an open minded trauma informed and compassionate licensed mental health professional and substance use counselor who is able, and ready, to assist in best practices towards the goals and needs of your current situation. I utilize EFT/Tapping, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques. I also work from a multicultural point of view and understand that culture is what defines us and our values.

I can help you find purpose and clarity in your personal life and in your relationships. You deserve to make fulfilling changes in your life and to feel better connected to the ones you love. Whether you are attempting to gain insight individually, want to feel better connected as a couple, or wish to improve your family and interpersonal relationships, I would be honored to support you in your goals.

Personal finances and financial behavior are just as much about feelings as they are about finances. Recognizing how money makes you feel (ashamed, anxious, overwhelmed, insecure, etc.) will allow you to better understand yourself and to manage your money in a way that makes you feel empowered. Compulsive spending, financial enabling, financial avoidance, and financial conflict are just a few of the reasons someone might seek financial therapy.

Seeking therapy is a courageous, empowering step. Although you are strong, you shouldn't have to walk through life's hardships alone. I provide individual and couples counseling with a mindful and compassionate approach around subjects such as grief and loss, depression and anxiety, reclaiming one's self esteem, relational trauma, conflict resolution, fertility struggles, and new motherhood, to name a few. I am continually amazed by our natural ability to heal and thrive given the right kind of attention and caring presence.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor regulated by Washington State (License Number LH61511291). I am also a National Certified Counselor and hold a master’s degree from Northwestern University in clinical mental health counseling. My areas of focus include eating disorders and existential approaches to grief and traumatic loss. I have received additional post-graduate training in both of these areas of focus.

Everyone is worthy of growth, healing, and living authentically. The inner knowledge and tools gained in therapy can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others, identify and live by your values, and live more mindfully in all areas of your life. My goal is providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and person-centered. I realize power impacts our ability to share and live by our own stories, and I strive to provide culturally aware and sensitive therapy.

Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I am so happy you are here. I know how hard it can be to ask for help. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and difficult relationships are all stressors that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and lost. It takes courage to seek support and even more to be kind to ourselves.

While a desire to find meaningful connection with self and others appears universal, the everyday experiences of life often hold quite the opposite. Trauma, betrayal, loss, addiction, big life changes (and we can go on and on), can contribute to a variety of mental health concerns, and perpetuate dynamics that are not life-giving. Such dynamics are hard to put into words, so you are left looking for a safe space to tell your story and gain more insight into what shaped you, what motivates you, and what supports patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer serve you.
