Location: a block west of Eastlake Avenue, near the University Bridge.
General Practice Area: I specialize in counseling those living with medical conditions and chronic physical illness. In addition to the traumatic impact disease can have on one’s physical health, illness can also assault one’s sense of self, change relationships, and can create a profound sense of isolation, anxiety, depression, anger and loss. I offer a sympathetic, compassionate place for grieving, for learning new ways to cope, and for gaining a greater sense of control over your situation to improve quality of life. My counseling style is a holistic one with a focus in mindfulness-based, mind-body psychotherapy. The scope of my training and experience comprises other issues, including: depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, life transitions, parenting, and relationship issues. I counsel adults and adolescents and offer individual and group therapy in Seattle and Bellevue. [ Email Shira Wilson-Gross ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]
