EFT
Nicole Waters (Flowing Waters Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate and empowering—I work collaboratively with you to uncover patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be holding you back. Together, we’ll identify these cycles and develop tools to help you break free from them, build healthier ways of thinking, and create lasting change. My goal is to help you strengthen self-awareness, increase emotional resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.

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.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I love meeting clients exactly where they are at. I often work with folks who can be very self-critical, usually because they've learned to believe harmful messages about themselves. They might have heard that they aren't good enough because of their beliefs, their sexuality, their neurodivergent brains, or any number of reasons. I help my clients learn to change that narrative. To honestly and fearlessly look at themselves with compassion and acceptance. It's only from that place of compassionate acceptance that can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Maybe you are exhausted from relationship conflict and are looking to build meaningful and supportive bonds. If you're longing to feel grounded, supported, and understood, you're not alone and I'd love to work with you!

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
I'm Dr. Danielle Watkins, licensed psychotherapist and perinatal mental health specialist. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, tearful, alone, irritable, or unlike yourself while trying to conceive, during pregnancy or after baby arrives, you are not alone. I specialize in perinatal mental health and help individuals and couples navigate the emotional complexities of trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
I primarily work with clients experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum OCD, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients are high-functioning, capable people who feel surprised by how hard this season feels. Together, we create a space where you can speak openly without guilt or judgment and explore strategies to help you feel like yourself again.

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.

Liza Hadden
Counselor/Therapist, MS
Hello, I'm Liza. My priority is to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to identify and work on your therapeutic goals. I aim to make therapy a client-led process and always adaptive to your specific needs. I specialize in women’s health, ADHD, anxiety, grief, and depression and feel passionate about supporting clients along the path of healing and growth. I also enjoy working with couples and families to improve dynamics and establish more fulfilling relationships. I believe in a systemic and holistic view of people, relationships and health. I also integrate mindfulness and body-based/somatic practices into sessions.
I have additional training in adult ADHD and women's health (specifically PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, perinatal & postpartum). I am passionate about supporting women at all stages of life, in addition to partnerships and families.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
My therapeutic roots are in attachment and complex trauma, the relational wounds that shape how we move through the world and who we let close. I work with anyone navigating the layered terrain of identity and connection. For couples, I specialize in ENM and polyamorous relationships, interracial and cross-cultural partnerships, and discernment counseling for couples weighing whether to stay or go. I also work with individuals carrying complex childhood or relational trauma—the kind that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you attach, trust, and show up in relationships. My clients often feel caught between worlds, wanting to feel seen and understood without having to explain everything. In our work, we slow down, explore what’s happening underneath the surface, and create room for healing and growth.

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.

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.
