Individual Therapy in Seattle – Adults & Adolescents
Individual Therapy in Seattle at Modern Therapy Seattle is a space to pause, reflect, and explore your life with a dedicated individual therapist who listens and understands. It’s a chance to notice what’s happening in your mind, heart, and gut, work through challenges, and untangle patterns in your relationships. Through targeted individual therapy for relationship issues, we help you practice expressing yourself authentically and try out new ways of being that feel right for you.
Have you ever been in counseling before? If not, it can sometimes feel intimidating, but you are not alone. If you have tried individual counseling in Seattle in the past, you already know that therapy covers a wide range of experiences.
We work with adults and adolescents navigating all sorts of experiences, from anxiety and depression to major life transitions, relationship questions, or exploring identity and sexuality. Individual therapy can be a space to:
Heal from past trauma and address deep-seated concerns.
Explore things you’ve never said out loud before.
Learn positive life skills and use mindfulness techniques to bring joy into your life.
Find a safe, welcoming environment to be fully yourself.
We offer individual therapy in Seattle on a one-on-one basis, available in person or via online therapy, for adults and adolescents. We operate primarily from existential and humanistic frameworks which means identifying the most basic concerns and struggles, those that relate to the “givens” of existence: life, death, meaning, isolation, freedom. Sounds a little dire, right? Don't worry, it's much more inspiring than it sounds in that description! Identifying and understanding the biggest (and sometimes scariest) questions and issues that we struggle with can be very liberating, and it can help put the smaller details into perspective.
For Adolescents
The role of any therapist working with young people is first to understand them, hear them as they are, help them adapt to current elements in their life that they can't change, and help them identify what they can change. We are honored to help young people grow on the path to adulthood! If you have questions about how it may look to bring your adolescent son or daughter in for therapy with us, please contact us with your questions.
