Colleen Paul M.A. LMHCA
Mental Health Counselor
130 Nickerson St., Suite 204, Seattle, WA 98109
Niche Specialty©: Trauma --emotional or physical. Colleen is fully trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and her work with EMDR has most recently placed emphasis on trauma clearing with artists and musicians in order to make room for the creative process to flourish. EMDR has been clinically proven to assist the client process of shifting habitual patterns in order to re-configure thoughts that prevent one from living peacefully in the present moment. Coupled with mindfulness based practices, it can be an immensely helpful tool where venturing into the depths and constructs of emotions is concerned.
Location: On the south side of the canal conveniently located on Nickerson St.
General Practice Area: Colleen subscribes to the innate and brilliant sanity that every human being holds. This is the core of her work as a psychotherapist. By resting in the present moment, in what is directly before us, we can continue to discover compassion for ourselves in order to more peacefully navigate our world. Trusting in this, Colleen brings mindfulness based practices into her work as a psychotherapist.
Colleen has a Master's degree in Psychology with a concentration in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She counsels individual adults and children, families, groups and couples and has extensive experience working with people identified as having developmental and learning disabilities. Along with Contemplative Psychotherapy, she has training and experience in Play Therapy (with children), Sand Tray Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapy and Behavior Analysis.

Lisa Tarrach, MA, LMFTA
Lisa Tarrach M.A. LMFTA (206) 295-1385
Licensed Marriage Family Therapy Associate
4425 Fremont Ave. North, Seattle, WA 98103
Location: Bossa Nova Healing Arts Center. Bossa Nova is an old house converted into beautiful office spaces for practitioners of the healing arts.
General Practice Area: My Therapeutic Specialties:
* Depression & Anxiety
* Grief & Loss (of job, relationship, loved one)
* Couples Counseling (divorce/separation/infidelity)
* Family Therapy (parents/adolescents/children)
* Abuse (emotional, physical, sexual)
* Addictions (porn, internet, drugs, alcohol, etc.)
My personal approach to therapy is largely influenced by family systems theory and includes the exploration of intergenerational processes, issues related to one’s family of origin, and relational dynamics.
I work with couples using Imago Therapy, created by Harville Hendrix who wrote the book, "Finding the Love You Want." This approach is successful with helping couples define who they are in relationship, and get what they need from their partner.
I also use Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT); which research shows measurable results for those with depression and anxiety. Often people are prescribed antidepressants/anti-anxiety medications, but long term results diminish because they haven't learned new coping skills. MBCT helps clients develop skills to manage and overcome their depression/anxiety, as well as other issues. [ Email Lisa Tarrach ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]

Gretchen Savage M.A. LMHCA (206) 434-9956
Licensed Mental Health Care Associate
180 Nickerson Street, Suite #303, Seattle, WA 98109
Location: 180 Nickerson is a well-known professional building on a busline near the Fremont bridge, with access to the bike and walking trail along the ship canal.
General Practice Area: I work with individuals who are noticing a change in themselves through Grief and Loss, life transition, job or relationship loss, spiritual crisis, depression, or anxiety. I believe in the natural tendency of both children and adults toward healing and integration of mind, body, heart, and spirit.
I have experience working with parents who have given birth to a baby who has special needs, or developmental disabilities. The transition from pregnancy to the realization of the needs of an infant or toddler can be stressful on a family. Issues of grief and loss, and stress on relationship can surface. Therapy can offer a safe place for open communication to clarify relationship needs and expectations.
I have a great deal of experience working multi-culturally and am fluent in American Sign Language.
In my practice I use many techniques to chose from depending on individual needs. I work using mindfulness techniques, therapeutic art techniques, dream work, body awareness, exploration of family of origin issues, and use of journaling. [ Email Gretchen Savage ]
