Our Therapy Services
Individual Therapy in Bellevue
Individual therapy provides a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained professional dedicated to supporting your wellbeing. Whether you're experiencing anxiety that interferes with daily life, processing past trauma, managing OCD symptoms, navigating grief and loss, addressing eating disorder concerns, or dealing with ADHD challenges, our therapists offer personalized support.
During your first session, we create space for you to unpack what's been weighing you down. We listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and work together to determine if we're a good fit. As therapy progresses, we incorporate specific interventions matched to your needs, helping you develop lasting skills for managing challenges and promoting growth.
Couples Therapy
Relationships require ongoing attention and care. When communication breaks down or conflicts become repetitive, couples therapy can provide the tools and support needed to rebuild connection and understanding. We work with couples facing communication challenges, major life transitions, trust issues, parenting disagreements, or those simply wanting to strengthen their bond.
Our couples therapy creates a balanced environment where both partners feel heard and validated. We help you identify patterns that aren't serving your relationship, develop healthier communication skills, and rediscover what brought you together. Each couple's situation is unique, so we tailor our approach to your specific dynamics and relationship goals.
Family and Youth Therapy
We provide therapy for children ages 10 and up, adolescents, and families. Young people may come to therapy to address anxiety, social challenges, academic stress, family relationship issues, or developmental concerns. Our therapists create age-appropriate, non-judgmental environments where youth feel safe expressing themselves.
For families, we address challenging transitions, communication breakdowns, and provide support that honors both individual needs and family dynamics. We collaborate with parents when appropriate to ensure cohesive, effective support for everyone involved.
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches
Our therapists are trained in multiple specialized modalities, allowing us to match the right approach to your particular needs:
EMDR Therapy - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a powerful approach for processing traumatic memories and experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain process difficult memories, reducing their emotional intensity without requiring extensive verbal description of traumatic events.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - DBT teaches practical skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is particularly helpful for individuals experiencing intense emotions or struggling with relationship patterns.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) - IFS views the mind as naturally composed of different "parts," each with its own perspective and role. This compassionate approach helps you develop better relationships with different aspects of yourself, particularly valuable for trauma, anxiety, and difficult-to-change patterns.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - TF-CBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive approaches, helping you understand connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while processing traumatic experiences in a safe, structured manner.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - For individuals struggling with OCD, ERP is the gold standard treatment. This structured approach gradually exposes you to anxiety-triggering situations while supporting you to resist compulsive behaviors, helping break free from exhausting OCD patterns.
Conditions We Treat
Anxiety - When anxiety becomes persistent or intense, it can interfere with work, relationships, and quality of life. We use evidence-based approaches including cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies, and exposure therapy to provide relief tailored to your specific experience.
Burnout – When constant stress, pressure, or emotional exhaustion leaves you feeling detached or ineffective, therapy can help you recover clarity and energy. Our therapists work with you to understand the roots of burnout, restore balance, and rebuild a sustainable sense of motivation and wellbeing.
Depression – When sadness, emptiness, or loss of motivation begin to cloud your daily life, therapy offers a space to understand and heal. Our therapists help you identify emotional and environmental factors contributing to depression, develop coping strategies, and rediscover a sense of hope and connection.
Trauma - Trauma can result from single overwhelming events or ongoing difficult experiences. Using specialized trauma-informed modalities like EMDR and TF-CBT, we help you process difficult experiences without retraumatization, at a pace that feels right for you.
OCD - Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder can feel isolating and exhausting. We provide specialized ERP therapy to help you gain freedom from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, improving your quality of life.
ADHD - We work with both children and adults, developing practical strategies for managing symptoms and addressing the emotional impact of living with ADHD. Our personalized approach addresses your specific challenges while leveraging your unique strengths.
Grief and Loss - There's no "right" way to grieve. We provide supportive space to process your loss, explore your feelings, and gradually find ways to carry your grief while still engaging with life.
Eating Disorders - We address complex relationships with food, eating, body image, and self-worth with compassion and without judgment, treating both behaviors and underlying emotional factors.
In-Person and Online Therapy Options
We offer convenient in-person therapy sessions at our Bellevue location, easily accessible for residents throughout the Eastside including Redmond and surrounding communities. For those who prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions or live elsewhere in Washington State, our comprehensive online counseling services bring professional therapy directly to you.
Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most concerns, with added benefits of increased accessibility and convenience. Whether you're at home in Seattle, traveling for work, or living anywhere in Washington, you can access quality care through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions.

Competent and Caring Clinicians - Our therapists bring specialized training in evidence-based approaches and genuine warmth to their work. We're professional, punctual, and treat every client with respect and dignity.
Personalized Treatment - Your treatment plan is developed specifically for you, taking into account your unique circumstances, goals, cultural background, and preferences. We continually adjust our approach based on what's working best.
The Therapy Process at Our Practice
Beginning therapy starts with an initial assessment session where we learn about what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping to achieve. You'll have space to share what's been weighing on you while we listen carefully and ask questions to understand your experience.
Once care is established, therapy typically involves consistent meetings—often 12 weeks to a year—where we work collaboratively toward your goals. We follow up on progress, keep you accountable to desired changes, and incorporate specific interventions like EMDR therapy or psychoeducational CBT techniques as appropriate for your therapeutic journey.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from professional support. Therapy can be helpful whether you're facing significant challenges, going through difficult transitions, wanting to understand yourself better, or simply feeling like something isn't quite right.
