Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I work with female identifying children and adolescents. The issues that children and adolescents face are real challenges and deserve to be recognized as such. I like to implement art and play into my sessions with children and adolescents. I enjoy hearing about the client's hobbies and interests in an effort to see the world through their lens. We get creative on how to integrate these hobbies and interests into our sessions because although talking is great, that is not the only way to heal.

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.
