General Practice Area: I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families concerning relationship problems, trauma, depression, anxiety, transitions to parenthood, and pregnancy and post-partum mood disorders. Everyone is vulnerable to hurtful experiences and emotional distress, yet everyone has the potential to make lasting and meaningful changes. My therapeutic approach is a blend of psychodynamic, attachment, relational, and cognitive/behavioral theories. Your specific concerns may lead us to explore any number personal things including aspects of your past, family history, conscious and unconscious feelings and beliefs, as well as what you are thinking, feeling, and doing in your life right now. Therapy is about creating a safe place to explore the challenging, difficult, and sometimes painful issues that get in the way of you living a fulfilled life. Therapy is an opportunity for you to make changes and to build a stronger relationship to yourself and to others while creating a new understanding of present and past concerns.

Allison Puryear MSW LICSW (206) 972-0898
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
1900 NW Dock Place, Suite 2, Seattle, WA 98107
Niche Specialty©: Eating Disorders. I love working with people with eating disorders because they tend to be intelligent,
sensitive, driven people who accomplish so much once their anxious energy is channeled in a healthy way.
Location: On the corner of Ballard Ave and Dock Place
General Practice Area: I specialize in helping people recover
from eating disorders, sexual trauma, and/or anxiety disorders. The obsessiveness and lack of control of an eating disorder, the
emotional roller-coaster of sexual trauma, and the frantic feeling associated with anxiety don't have to be a part of your life forever.
I've had the opportunity to work with people struggling with these issues since 1998 and have seen clients work through them and live
healthy, happy lives full of meaning and purpose. I use a mix of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and
interpersonal theory. I'm firm but compassionate and I am committed to my clients' healing.

Julie Reynolds MA LMHCA (206) 353-9037
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
1800 NW Market ST, Suite #200, Seattle, WA 98107
Niche Specialty©: Couple or Marriage Counselor. I help couples reconnect to each other emotionally and help them turn from confusion and frustration to loving and effective allies. We work together to break negative patterns such as unproductive fighting and feelings of disconnection in order to create a more loving and successful union. I work with couples to honestly and safely address the state of the relationship and how it relates to each partner's needs and the partnership's shared vision.
Some couples also ultimately come to me to help decide whether they should be together or not. We will gently and, without blame, explore your hopes and needs as well as many other issues relevant to a healthy relationship.
Location: My office is just above the flower shop Ballard Blossom on Market Street.
General Practice Area: I love working with people that I call 'hungry seekers' who are looking to clarify big theme questions like 'am I loved?/who do I love?', 'where do I belong?' and 'what am I here to do?'. Many of us feel depressed, anxious, lonely, disconnected and hopeless when life and our relationships haven't supported us to know these answers well. I work with clients to help them find a more contented way of living, loving and belonging specific to their wishes and personal style.
I offer sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10:30am-9pm.
Your first session is COMPLEMENTARY to give you the opportunity to decide if we make a good fit, risk free. [ Email Julie Reynolds ] [ Go to counselor - therapist website ]
