DBT Therapists in Seattle, WA

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 14 years of experience providing individualized therapy to adults and older adults, focusing on anxiety and stress management, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, grief and loss, and life transitions. My approach is genuine and collaborative, helping you explore your experiences, build coping tools, and find meaningful ways to move forward.

I’m Eddie. I’m a therapist, husband, dad, and someone who has lived enough life to know that people can change. I became a father young, have experienced my own struggles with addiction and recovery, and wasn’t always the person I am today. Those experiences taught me how connected our mental, physical, relational, and spiritual lives really are. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in substance use treatment, where my lived experience gave me a deeper understanding of the people I served. I earned my M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing telehealth therapy throughout Washington State. I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships, and identity. I don’t believe therapy is about fixing broken people or reducing someone to a diagnosis. To me, therapy is about becoming more aware of why we are the way we are, learning to live more intentionally, and recognizing that change is something we can actively create.

Are you carrying pain you don’t talk about—spiritual questions, emotional wounds, or unspoken grief that is causing mood instability and difficulty with relationships or with making decisions? As a licensed mental health counselor and professional counselor with 20 years of experience, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy, faith-based counseling, and specialized evaluations for clients in Washington and Arizona. My passion is creating a safe, sacred space for those who feel overlooked or misunderstood, helping individuals, couples, and families to heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I meet you where you are, blending therapeutic expertise with compassion to help you find your strength and begin again.

I have been practicing for over three years, in addition to two years of practicum experience, and I hold a Master’s in Social Work. I am also nearing completion of my Doctorate in Social Work. As my ideal client, you are someone who recognizes the challenges you are facing and is motivated to seek support, guidance, and resources to work through them.

I'm Ashley Cross, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor with over 15 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, stress, and other emotional challenges. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and free from judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll work to better understand the challenges you're facing, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting changes that support your overall well-being and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hi there, I'm Leslie. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of a busy life? Maybe you feel like something is "off" that you cannot quite identify. You may feel disconnected and experience frequent low moods. You might be someone who has been diagnosed or self-identified as neurodivergent, or you may be raising a neurodivergent child and feeling lost in coping with your feelings about how to navigate that challenge. You might be stuck in (or exiting) a romantic relationship that does not serve you, but you are struggling to find your path forward. Whatever the source of your anxiety, I am here to help! I support individuals across a spectrum of ages and circumstances to understand how to find their footing in their daily lives. I use a unique person-centered behavioral approach that is affirming and includes action steps to access change. When you meet with me, you will hear "real talk" grounded in evidenced-based techniques. Together we will discover a path to a more manageable daily life that fits your specific circumstances. Congratulations on taking the step to seek support through therapy. l look forward to working together!

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) with nearly 10 years of experience in behavioral health. I enjoy helping people work through the challenges life throws their way. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, substance use concerns, and everyday stressors. Life can be messy, and sometimes it feels like we're just trying to keep all the plates spinning without dropping one. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, speak freely, and even laugh occasionally. My approach is relaxed, genuine, and focused on helping you figure out what works best for you.

Now Accepting New Clients. Navigating through the journey of life we inevitably run into hindrances that challenge our momentum. Change is hard and can often be sudden and unpredictable, leaving us without the proper tools to cope with these changes. We have to learn to acclimate to our surroundings on our terms. Whether it's a traumatic response, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, loss of confidence, feeling lost and overwhelmed, feelings of depression or stagnation, there's hope. It takes courage to look into a mirror and see who's looking back, it takes strength to want to make a change and hope to inspire change. My goal is to inspire Hope. To inspire people to look inward and see what is there, what already exists. I want to see people believe in themselves. My goal is to assist people in regaining a strong and confident sense of self.

Hi, my name is Vienna Aslanian, and I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since the beginning of 2017. I chose to become a therapist after practicing in the field of social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with PTSD and childhood trauma. Seeing the intergenerational struggles and hearing people's personal stories on the matter made me interested in the field of therapy. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection with someone. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and supportive guidance. I believe in the importance of empathy and nonjudgment; I value making you feel cared about and understood. I hold myself to high expectations regarding reliability and consistency in order to provide the best support and care possible. I attend training regularly on the best and most effective practices/therapeutic modalities.

Hi there! With over three years of experience as a therapist, I have found my specialty in supporting individuals as they navigate the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor that has been actively practicing with a variety of ages and issues for the past 15 years.

Hi, I'm Daphne — a Licensed Professional Counselor and State-Approved Clinical Supervisor. For over a decade, I've walked alongside adults learning to be gentler with themselves, steadier in their emotions, and more confident in their lives. I work best with people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and mood-related struggles. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about who you're becoming, therapy can be a soft place to land — a space to understand yourself, build real tools, and create change that lasts. My approach is warm, collaborative, and shaped around you. I blend DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychoeducation — because understanding *how* your mind and emotions work is a powerful part of healing. I also make room for the spiritual and faith dimensions of your story, because healing isn't only in the mind. I bring an uplifting, grounded energy, and I love using imagery to help you see yourself and your life in new, hopeful ways. I work best with clients who are curious, open, and ready to show up for their own growth. Together, we'll build on the strengths you already carry and move toward the life you're building. Clients often leave with steadier emotions, deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and renewed confidence. It's my joy to hold your story gently while helping you grow. A note: Requests for letters, evaluations, or documentation outside of standard therapy services require additional fees and aren't billable to insurance. ESA letters are available after intake and two additional therapy sessions.

Also licensed in Oregon, Minnesota, and New York. With over 30 years in the helping professions, I have worked in many settings, including street outreach, community programs, inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, and private practice. I bring a real-world perspective. I specialize in helping people navigate the difficulties of Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Grief. I also have a heart for women navigating the complexities of morbid obesity by providing a space free of judgment. We focus on the person, not just the scale. My background working in impoverished neighborhoods has taught me how people can build resilience and maintain it. I am a cradle Catholic and honor all spiritual journeys, should you want to bring that part of yourself into therapy. We’ll work together to untangle life’s hardest moments with honesty, humor, and a lot of heart.

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping others heal from their trauma. My true passion is being able to watch as my clients understand themselves on a deeper level, feel empowered and in control of their lives, and let their trauma become a part of their story rather than letting it dictate their lives. I love using EMDR to facilitate true healing, and DBT/CBT/TF-CBT to help clients learn the skills they need to manage symptoms as they come up. Every client I work with is met with warmth, a safe space to work through the deep pain, and acceptance at every level. Come as you are and we'll work together to get you to the most powerful version of you.

Hi, I'm Carla, and I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for therapy isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right therapist is an important first step. I work with women who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, burnout, low self-esteem, or the constant pressure of trying to hold everything together. Whether you're balancing work, family, relationships, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you don't have to navigate it alone. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself without fear of judgment. At the same time, I believe therapy should be practical. I won't just listen; we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify patterns that are no longer serving you, and develop realistic strategies you can use in your everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and person-centered techniques, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I also value cultural humility and understand how life experiences, family expectations, identity, and personal values can shape the way we experience stress and healing. My goal is to help you feel more confident, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your self-worth, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. I believe meaningful change happens one step at a time, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you're ready to invest in yourself and start creating lasting change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I have over 10 years of experience as a mental health therapist. I primarily work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family or relationship difficulties. Many clients seek treatment because they feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to manage the challenges they’re facing. My approach is structured and evidence‑based. I focus on helping you understand the factors contributing to your symptoms and developing clear, practical strategies for change. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness‑based interventions to support emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and build healthier behavioral patterns. Accountability is an important part of the work we do together. I will support you, but I will also provide direct feedback and encourage consistent follow‑through on the changes you identify as important. Progress requires active participation, and I work best with clients who are ready to take responsibility for implementing new skills and strategies between sessions. My Style is: Straightforward – Honest and clear, but always respectful. Practical – Tools that work in everyday life, not just theory. Explorative – Space to reflect deeply in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Encouraging – Support that helps you feel capable, validated, and motivated to change. Accountability-focused – Growth comes from owning your choices and committing to real change. This works well if you are willing to: • Look at your own patterns and find areas for growth and change • Practice new skills between our sessions and create a plan for change • Stay open to feedback, exploration, and trying approaches that fit your unique needs

What works for one person/couple who are experiencing a similar situation may not work for another and so I personalize your treatment to fit you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (7+), adults, older adults, families, and couples. My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and require my clinical expertise. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” to help clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I tailor evidence based interventions to each client’s identities, needs, strengths, and goals. My primary approaches include Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-(EMDRIA certification pending), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems informed interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure based strategies, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. I adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities because therapy should adjust to the person and not require the person to adjust to therapy. I am continually shaped by the courage, insight, and lived experiences clients bring into our work. Every advanced training, specialty, certification, and state license reflect lessons learned from clients. I carry their trust, stories, and influence into every session with gratitude and responsibility.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, anger, and difficult life transitions in a practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional healing and stronger relationships.

Hi! I’m Ana-Lisa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, teens, and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, and together we’ll work toward meaningful changes that fit your life!

I'm a warm, direct, occasionally irreverent therapist who believes growth happens through honest connection, curiosity, and a little humor. My background in trauma work taught me that understanding our patterns matters, but learning to challenge them is where change begins. Clients seeking to understand where to interrupt their patterns and how to do so often enjoy working with me. My experience includes years working with people navigating complex trauma, shame, difficult relationships, emotional avoidance, and deeply ingrained survival strategies. I've worked with individuals who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood, judged, or defined by their worst moments. That experience shaped my belief that accountability and compassion aren't opposites. We can understand why we developed a behavior without deciding that we have to keep it. My approach is collaborative, active, and experiential. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches, but I don't believe meaningful change happens simply because we can name a concept. We'll explore how your patterns show up in real life, examine the assumptions and emotions underneath them, and experiment with new ways of responding. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves, even when they don't quite know where to begin. You don't need to arrive with perfect insight, the right words, or a clear roadmap. Just a willingness to get curious about what's happening and consider what might be possible. You're the expert on your experiences. My role is to bring another perspective, help you notice what might be difficult to see from the inside, and support you in deciding what you'd like to do differently. And yes, sometimes I'll challenge you. But I'll never ask you to do something difficult without respecting how difficult it actually is.
