Federal Way Therapists specializing in EMDR

Dr. Olivia Painter

I help people who want to gain greater understanding about themselves and their environment. My clients are self-aware and struggling with their sense of self. They have been historically minoritized and sometimes have never been in therapy before. I tailor my work to each individual and their needs to ultimately help my clients build insight, attunement, and positive well-being.

Maria Turner-Carney

My clients are classic helpers and do-ers- overfunctioning and often managing many things at once. The people I work with care deeply about authenticity, justice, and connection and are often wanting to work on practicing boundaries, and holding space for themselves. We do this together with a focus on embodiment, re-parenting themselves, and feeling out the shape of their particular needs.

Do you find yourself reacting to things in a manner that seems disproportionate to the situation? Untreated trauma can make us feel as though we are losing control. We may fear quiet moments alone and may desperately try to distract ourselves from the pain. Traumatic experiences can cause lead to poor self-worth, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. etc. It is a privilege to help people break free from these things.

Luis Merced

My approach to the therapeutic relationship is collaborative. The client is the expert of themselves and my role is to provide the knowledge and skills I have attained. I am trained in EMDR and Attachment-Focused-EMDR disciplines in treating trauma-related issues by assisting individuals to overcome distress, trauma, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. I'm also trained in Biofeedback, Ego State/Dissociation (Parts Work), the Flash Technique, and Intergenerational Trauma to help clients discover relief.

Jessica Stearns

When we accept ourselves we can more fully connect with others and enjoy being present in our daily lives. Would you like to treat yourself with loving kindness? To respond thoughtfully to others instead of reacting based on past experiences? I enjoy working with individuals to develop self-compassion and explore issues related to childhood and family of origin. If you would like to learn to nurture and care for yourself I'd love to help!

I see individuals, couples, and young adults (18+). Many clients come to me seeking somatic healing and awareness, treatment for post-traumatic stress, support moving through the past or making major life transitions, or relief from difficulties with depression and anxiety. I use both a family systems and a humanistic approach. I often see clients who are in the midst of transforming current relationships or are recovering from the impact of history with family of origin.

Jeffrey McLean

My ideal clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or trauma and seek deeper healing and growth. They desire more than symptom relief, aiming for peace, clarity, and purpose. I am especially attuned to supporting marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, in a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they can reconnect with themselves and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Hannah Zimmerman

Counseling can be as simple as a chat about how you are doing and where you would like to be in life. People often experience distress resulting from an unpredictable world. A common problem for many people stems from feelings of dissatisfaction with their present circumstances. Change may be intimidating, but it’s not impossible - and never too late! I excel at helping my clients find their authentic selves and I am not afraid of challenges, chaos and the messy journey we embark on in therapy.

Anna Kim Douglass

I experience my clients as brave, hardworking women who are juggling multiple roles in their lives and are wanting to work through past trauma, current anxiety, or stuck relationships and are wanting to grow in self-awareness, confidence, emotional health, and self-care. They are ready to do the hard work and are committed to the process of understanding themselves and their stories with more compassion and awareness.

Sherry Thomas

Sometimes experiences or sensations in the present moment touch & awaken unresolved experiences from our past without our awareness of what happened; it is all unconscious. This can result in any number of distressing situations from anxiety, panic, & dissociation, to irritability, feelings of overwhelm or sadness. I work with clients to uncover & metabolize experiences from the past so they no longer creep into the present and lead them to defend against situations that are no longer relevant.

Eli Hastings

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am accepting new clients if consultation proves a good match; OOP or Premera preferred. I am also taking new clients as a trauma writing mentor/editor and more. Writing your way through healing, in my view, is at least of equal value to psychotherapy. If you are interested in these services, please visit me at www.elihastings.com). I would be DELIGHTED to work in tandem with other therapists! Ideal clients are folks w CPTSD but normative or high functioning. My

I love to work with clients who really want to be done with their suffering, but don't know how to do that. Maybe you've experienced abuse or neglect, assault, the sudden death of a loved one. I trust that you have the capacity to heal, and we can work together to help make that a reality.

Online Therapy

Heather Taylor

Have you experienced the death of a loved one? Are you "numb", "in a fog", struggling to adjust to this new reality? I know this lived experienced. Grief can be isolating, complicated and heartbreaking navigating losing a loved one. Therapy space can help support you in understanding the spectrum of grief, secondary/non-death losses, and working together to create tools to practice self-compassion as you transition into a new normal. It's my honor to hold space as you grow through this season.

My clients come from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have experience working with different communities and subcultures that can be marginalized. I provide a non-judgmental empathetic space to support discussing challenging and often taboo subjects, allowing individuals to address the difficult, challenging or traumatic parts of their experiences in the world.
