Seattle Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

What just happened? What is going to happen next? If your life is not adding up right now - you are working tirelessly, and alone- or you cannot tell what is important to pay attention to, I hope you will reach out. Maybe too many people depend on you, or no one does. Do you have anyone to depend on? Is this latest chapter of life a flood of experiences? I want to support you in finding the space, grounding, and perspective you need to build security and community in your life.

Kaitlin Bryant

I hold the perspective that we all need support and care in order to know and understand ourselves in the social, political, and personal context in which we have been formed. I believe that therapy can offer a space to collaboratively explore oneself and more deeply understand the uniqueness of our experience in the world. I have interest and experience working with folks around relationship and family dynamics, traumatic experiences, LGBTQIA+ mental health, anxiety and depression, .

Lou Bradford

Many of my clients tend to be queer, young adults who have experienced childhood trauma and are prepared to begin the healing journey, or perhaps pickup where they may have previously left off. I also work with queer folks who have had negative, abusive, or toxic experiences within church/religion because of their gender or sexuality. This is certainly not an exclusive list but meant to provide insight into where my passion and expertise lie.

I believe that healing occurs when people are given the space to explore who they truly are in all aspects of their lives. I am experienced in working with individuals and couples who are navigating life transitions, acculturation, anxiety, and trauma. I have a passion for helping people explore their sexuality, gender, and identity in relation to themselves and to their partners or family.

Phillip Coulson

As an existentially trained therapist I believe that most people can benefit from therapy - sometimes especially those who are “OK”, “making it to the weekend,” and yet have a deep sense that something is wrong. How to live wisely and with integrity is a question perhaps more urgent than ever amidst the constant change and uncertainty all around us. More specifically, my lived experience as a nonbinary person means that I "get" what that's like in a way that cis therapists may not.

Deb Dettman

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are successful but struggle with perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.

I work with couples, family members, and individuals experiencing disconnection, anger, or distress in their intimate relationships. I work with couples who report a breakdown in communication, difficulty repairing broken trust or who are finding their footing again after the transition to parenthood. In my work with individuals, I see adults who are in transition or are hoping to gain greater insight about themselves.

Fox Kalvig

Over the last five years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, recent trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities.
