Clients I Work With
At Kirkland EMDR Counseling, we work with adult clients (18+) throughout Washington State who are seeking to heal from trauma, anxiety, and the stress of navigating challenging life transitions. Our clients often include individuals from the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC/AAPI communities, immigrants, and those facing perinatal mental health challenges, spiritual abuse, or ADHD/Autism. We provide accessible, social justice-oriented, and compassionate teletherapy for people who are ready to process their past and step into a space of strength and resilience. Many of the people we work with feel stuck in survival mode or struggle with systemic oppressions, and they are seeking a culturally responsive, gender-affirming environment. If you are looking to rewrite your story in a way that supports our practice would be a great fit.
Approach
Our therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, primarily utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. We view therapy as a partnership where we work together at your own pace—never rushing the healing process. While EMDR follows a standard protocol, our therapists uniquely tailor it to your individual human needs. Alongside EMDR, we integrate tailored skills and mindfulness practices to provide you with a comprehensive toolkit. Together, we will explore biological, relational, and systemic barriers to your healing. We focus on helping you soothe and regulate your nervous system, reduce the intensity of negative thoughts, and safely process past trauma so you can confidently hold yourself with compassion in the present and the future.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
Our practice is founded on the belief that “my humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” We acknowledge that we live in a society with systems that perpetuate trauma, impacting bodies of all shapes, genders, sizes, and backgrounds. Because of this, we believe healing must be both an individual and collective journey. Our team is deeply committed to inclusivity, anti-racism, and anti-oppression, and we strive to actively dismantle systems of marginalization within the therapeutic space. We believe that therapy should be a brave, destigmatized space where you can show up authentically. By honoring cultural practices and understanding the influence of privilege and oppression, we aim to provide care that respects your intersectional identities, fosters healthy boundaries, and empowers you to grow into the person you want to be.
