Bothell Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Larissa Severson

I believe that counseling is helpful at all stages of the lifespan, so I work with children, couples, families, and individual adults. My goal as a counselor is to support the emotional and personal growth of our community in a safe, accessible environment.

Rafaela de Leon

I work with adults, couples, and on occasion adolescents. I primarily serve those struggling with a substance use disorder, individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, and people who have experienced complex trauma. Attachment, interpersonal issues, and identity, are areas I often explore with clients. My goal with those I work with is to help them reclaim their power in the midst of adversity, know their worth, and understand and accept their multifaceted selves.

Seaward Hayes

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unmotivated? Like something's off that you can't quite put your finger on? Maybe a recent stressor has left you spiraling or something from your past won't stay buried and you are looking for relief from the weight of your emotions. Therapy can be a refuge where you can feel safe to be vulnerable, fully seen, and heard. Together we will co-create a safe space to explore what is holding you back and what you need to move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Monica Cagayat

My ideal client is coming motivated for change and open to utilizing different methods for making change (i.e. homework, open processing and discussion, challenging ones ideas/beliefs). I best serve those who identify a recent loss or time in their life when they realize what was true in life before is no longer. I have worked with people after a death of a loved one, retirement, change in faith, identity challenges, and more.

Eric Huenefeld

My ideal client is someone who is ready to heal. You are not broken and can't be fixed. You are most likely wounded and need to heal. If you are tired of feeling the way you do and want to heal, I want to help you with that. I meet everyone where they are at to help them be the person they want to be. I specialize in addictions and trauma. I also work with people on anxiety, depression, co-dependency, and much more. :)

Lisa Farsje

I have special interest in serving the LGBTQ community, especially individuals who want to change relationship patterns. I enjoy counseling with newly divorced single parents trying to adjust to their family's needs while prioritizing their self-care. I also work with clients recovering from emotional or spiritual abuse related to their LGBTQ identity.

Catalyst Counseling

We are a LGBT-affirming environment - all are welcome here. I am trans competent and especially enjoy working with older members of the LGBTQ community. Whether you are exploring your identity for the first time, or navigating relationship concerns with your partner through late-life transitions, I will be with you on your journey.

Maia Leslie

I know that each person is unique so I use multiple therapeutic modalities to individualize treatment in order to best meet each cIient's needs. I provide therapy for clients dealing with a variety of life’s challenges. These include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, life transitions, trauma, low self-esteem and self-confidence, and unhealthy/dysfunctional relational patterns. I assist clients who seek to examine and/or better understand their purpose, identity, and sense of self.

Sanji Cross

I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years working with individuals across all ages; children, adolescents, adults, varying cultural backgrounds and socio-economic statuses. I have experience with a wide range of concerning issues, including anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, parenting, autism spectrum, domestic violence and LGBTQ+. I accept Wellspring EAP and private pay in addition to Premera Blue Cross, Lifewise, and UBH.

Scarlett Thompson

My clients tend to be Gifted/ADHD/Twice-Exceptional, and/or creative. I enjoy working with teenagers & their families, and couples. My ideal client seeks my help in order to be understood and learn skills to better communicate their needs. I enjoy helping and I want to be a good fit as your therapist. I encourage a supportive, safe and compassionate environment. I am here to facilitate your journey with you as a team. Together we can achieve hard things!

Rachel Slemons

I work with a wide range of individuals, although most are coming to me for some kind of trauma therapy. A few of my areas of focus include developmental trauma, religious trauma, LGBTQ+, relationship issues, family of origin, depression and anxiety, compassion fatigue, and working with highly sensitive people.

Nidhi Berry

I love supporting those who feel like they are on the fringe - like they don't belong or don't deserve to belong. My goal is to help you facilitate the changes that a part of you already knows you want to make - the same part of you that brought you to this site.

Elizabeth Kilmer

I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture, and believe these experiences, beliefs, and identities have a place in a successful therapeutic relationship. Additionally, all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome as clients. I believe in the power of community that is built on shared values and experiences. If you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ and/or gaming communities and would prefer a therapist within these communities, we may be a good fit.

Are you ready to work on the issues that are making your life more difficult? Are you ready to look at those issues from a different view point and flip it around so it's not preventing you from living a life you want? I'll help you address the obstacles and find ways to change them, accept them, or solve them.

Bex Worsham

I've worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, hoping to move past traumas, wanting exposure therapy or just needing someone on their team. It's important to me to support BIPOC folx, the queer community, sex workers, and other marginalized communities. As a queer, polyamorous person, I am especially excited to work with queer and/or polyamorous folx!

Guy Scheibner

Youth and adults of all-genders, sexual orientations, and their families who are seeking hope and individual, interpersonal, and intergenerational healing. 2SLGBTQIA+ identified youth and adults of marginalized identities, as well as families seeking improved sense of connection and strengthened communication.

Aaren Connors

Taylor Saunders

I strongly believe that there is no one “right” way to have a body or mind. Neurodiversity and body-diversity are the principles on which my work is founded. As a cis (she/her), white, bi, fat, able-bodied clinician it is important to me that my work with clients is anti-oppressive. There will be times in our sessions that you may challenge yourself, so it is extremely important that you feel safe, supported, and seen.
