Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
To be a sustainable in your efforts to excel, it's important to be able to not only access your drive, but also to actually fully rest on your off-time. Somatic Experiencing can help with both of those things.
And if you have an injury or trauma on the way that starts blocking your ability to do the things you want to do, we can work together to help your body bounce back from the stress of that incident.

Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
As a lifelong competitive soccer player, I have navigated the emotional landscape of the "athlete" identity. Having expectations from inside and outside about athletic performance can be a joy as well as a burden. When things aren't feeling right, we can dig deep together.

14 Years Experience
Online in Seattle, WA
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.
