Kendall Matthews
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACFT, LMFTA
Beginning therapy can feel like adding another task to an already overloaded life. Reaching out takes intention and vulnerability. You don’t have to untangle this on your own, and you don’t have to accept feeling disconnected as the cost of staying together.

Weston Pew
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCPC
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the understanding that seeking therapy is a life-changing decision that requires courage to face your deepest fears and wounds. I guide clients through a process grounded in awareness, creativity, curiosity, and compassion, helping them access their inner gifts for healing and growth. Each session unfolds in three phases: assessment, exploration, and embodiment, allowing us to reflect on where you’ve been, uncover new insights, and integrate meaningful change. My work is integrative, addressing the body, heart, mind, and soul to foster emotional resilience and creative vision. By weaving these dimensions together, I help clients cultivate strength, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and connection.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
You might be someone who has done a lot of inner work already. You understand your patterns, you’ve reflected deeply, and yet something still feels stuck — in your body, your relationships, or your creative life.
I work with highly sensitive, creative individuals who are often over-functioning on the outside but carrying a quieter sense of overwhelm, disconnection, or burnout within. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, relational wounds, or creative blocks, and are looking for a kind of therapy that goes beyond coping skills into something more meaningful and lasting.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy and Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, which means we pay attention not only to your thoughts and experiences, but also to the subtle, body-based knowing that often holds the next step forward. Rather than rushing insight or forcing change, we create space for something more organic to unfold.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, curious enough to listen inward, and supported enough to be exactly where you are. From there, change tends to come in ways that feel more integrated, more sustainable, and more like your own.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
I believe that counseling should support building the life you want to live. In the lead up to action we may need to account for the systems we operate in, our authentic values and goals, and our established coping strategies. As you get a fuller picture of your experience, you'll be able to move forward with more confidence and joy.

Daniel Hong
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
At times, life can feel heavy, uncertain, or disconnected from the sense of direction we long for. In those moments, it can be difficult to believe that change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate that experience alone. I support individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, existential questions, cultural stressors, neurodivergence, and other emotional difficulties. I view therapy as a collaborative space where new understanding can emerge, inner resources can be rediscovered, and hope can slowly take shape again. Within a compassionate and attuned relationship, growth can unfold in ways that honor who you are and the pace that feels right for you.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a vulnerable step, yet it is also a meaningful investment in yourself. You don’t need perfect words or certainty to begin — simply showing up is enough. When you feel ready, I would welcome the opportunity to work alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, connection, and a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.

Alexzia Wagner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSWAIC
I specialize in helping couples, mothers, and young adults who feel like something in their life or relationships isn’t working the way they want. You might find yourselves having the same arguments on repeat, feeling overwhelmed or unlike yourself in motherhood, or questioning what direction your life is actually heading.
As a relational therapist, I focus on the deeper patterns shaping how you experience yourself and others. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in cycles they can’t seem to shift.
Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s happening underneath the surface so you can feel less anxious, more steady, and more connected in your relationships.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Therapy with me is active and engaged. I’m not just sitting back, we’re working together in real time to understand your patterns and try new ways of responding.
Whether you’re adjusting to parenthood, navigating a transition, or wanting to reconnect in your relationship, this is a space to be honest about what’s not working and begin creating something different.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
