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.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

Humanistic Therapy NW
Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
We know that feeling understood matters just as much as clinical skill. We take care in matching clients with therapists who not only have strong training, but who also bring lived experience that helps them truly “get” what you’re going through.
Our therapists work in a way that is both clinical and deeply human—offering evidence-based support while honoring identity, context, and real-life experience. We focus on creating a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and supported, so therapy feels meaningful, not mechanical.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

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

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You deserve therapy that already gets you, not therapy where you spend half the hour explaining yourself. I'm Sarah, a queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, kink-informed LICSW with 14 years of experience, and I created Courageous You for people whose full selves have sometimes felt like too much for the therapy room. My specialties are Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Somatic EMDR therapy - deeply supported, body-informed approaches that can help when trauma, depression, burnout, or long-held patterns just haven't shifted through talk therapy alone. I share these communities and identities myself, so you truly won't have to translate your life for me.

Anna Barrios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. My best childhood memories are family road trips between Mexico and the USA. I learned at an early age that diversity was something to cherish, and yet I realized that differences can lead to division. With this in mind, I decided to pursue a degree in social work. I chose to focus on mental health in order to be a catalyst for hope and healing in my community. I have worked with nonprofit organizations, schools, and State agencies delivering best-practice mental health services. Currently, I provide tele-health services in three States. I am a bilingual therapist- Spanish. and I specialize in helping adults process childhood trauma due to family substance use, domestic abuse and neglect. The focus is to treat the anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with relationships, challenges in parenting, and a host of issues that may result from unresolved pain. I believe that healing is a journey we do not have to travel alone.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The men I work with usually feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected from themselves and the people around them. They’re tired of dealing with the same patterns, and if we’re being honest, they’re pretty hard on themselves for it too. You’ve probably had that moment of “I’m not doing this again”… and then somehow you’re right back there.
A lot of what’s underneath that is trauma, anxiety, guilt, or habits that don’t change no matter how much effort you put in.
My job is to help you actually understand what’s going on, not just slap a label on it, and then use evidence-based trauma therapy to help you do something about it. This isn’t just talking. It’s learning a set of skills that helps you get unstuck and move differently.
Progress starts to look like having more control over your reactions, feeling less on edge, and not getting pulled into the same mental loops over and over. Instead of constantly reacting, you’re able to step back and respond in a way that actually lines up with who you want to be.
Sessions with me are direct, collaborative, and grounded. You don’t need the perfect words or a full explanation of everything that’s happened to get started. We focus on what works so you can get your life back.

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.
