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.

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.

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.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

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.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

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.

Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in assisting clients who are dealing with anxiety and OCD-related disorders. During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore these challenges and work together to create a personalized plan. Many of my clients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms within the first month, which often leads to lasting improvements in their overall well-being.
I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. Additionally, I completed a two-year postdoctoral training program at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA.
I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for individuals with diverse sociocultural identities.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

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.

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.
