Humanistic Therapy NW LLC

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Our clinicians use CBT to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This structured, goal-oriented approach is effective for anxiety, depression, and trauma. We integrate CBT tools with compassion and flexibility, empowering clients to challenge patterns, build coping skills, and create lasting change in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

We specialize in DBT-informed care to support clients with emotion dysregulation, intense relationships, and self-harming behaviors. Our therapists help clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. We focus on practical tools and compassionate support for real-life challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

We use ACT to help clients build psychological flexibility, reduce avoidance, and align their actions with personal values. Through mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and values-based goal setting, we support clients in navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with greater clarity and resilience.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Our therapists use IFS to help clients explore and heal the different “parts” of themselves shaped by past experiences, trauma, and protective roles. This approach fosters self-compassion, internal balance, and deeper emotional understanding. IFS is especially powerful for trauma, identity work, and complex emotional patterns.

Humanistic 

Our approach is grounded in Humanistic Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and the client’s innate capacity for growth. We create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their experiences. This approach is ideal for identity exploration, life transitions, and building self-trust.

LGBTQ Issues

We provide affirming care for LGBTQIA2S+ adults, couples, and families. Our therapists have lived and professional experience supporting clients through identity exploration, coming out, gender transition, family dynamics, discrimination, and internalized shame. We create a safe space where all identities are seen, respected, and celebrated.

Personality Disorders

We support clients living with personality disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), through trauma-informed, nonjudgmental care. Our therapists use relational and structured approaches to help build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier interpersonal patterns. We offer tools, support, and compassion for those navigating intense emotions, identity challenges, or relational difficulties.

Suicidal Ideation

We offer compassionate, skilled support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Our team is trained in crisis intervention, safety planning, and trauma-informed care. We work collaboratively to reduce distress, build coping strategies, and restore a sense of hope and stability. We also provide same-day sessions when needed to ensure timely support.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

We help individuals and couples navigate communication issues, conflict, boundaries, trust, and intimacy. Our therapists provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore patterns, heal relational wounds, and strengthen emotional connection. We work with all relationship structures, including monogamous, polyamorous, and queer partnerships.

Anxiety

We support clients experiencing anxiety, panic, and chronic worry. Our therapists help you identify triggers, understand underlying patterns, and develop practical tools to manage symptoms. Whether anxiety shows up in relationships, work, or daily life, we provide a warm, supportive space to help you regain calm, confidence, and control.
