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.

Josh Spell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
At times, we may lose our ability to trust our intuition. We may feel like imposters in our relationships, jobs or within ourselves. Therapy can offer a bridge back to understanding your authentic needs. I work with adults of all genders, races and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism. Symptoms related to these issues can manifest as feeling cut off from emotions, overwhelm, stress and burnout. I also provide services to athletes and performing artists who may be experiencing life transitions, performance anxiety or injury.
My own journey as a member of the LGBTQ+ population and professional ballet dancer led me to the field of mental health. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe everyone has the wisdom to know what is best for their own growth. I am here to guide individuals in uncovering new skills and untangling unhelpful narratives and core beliefs.
Together, we will develop an understanding of structures at play in your life that uphold self-doubt by laying the framework to trust your intuition and Self. We will also stretch your mind through self-compassion, curiosity, resilience, creativity, and adaptability. If you are interested in meeting with me, please reach out to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Christy A McCornack
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
My approach to therapy is one that is based on a deep respect and understanding for the courage it takes to seek support through therapy. I believe that we are most happy when we live a life that is consistent with our values. This allows us to create a meaningful life in the face of the many challenges that life can present to us. My approach is strength-based and insight focused, meaning we will focus on what you do well, what matters to you, and bringing awareness to you as a whole person. For example, we will attend to feelings, thoughts, and body sensations in our sessions, with the intention of bringing more awareness of how you experience the world so you can begin to make more informed decisions and make the changes that will bring you more happiness and peace in your life.

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.
