photo of counselor therapist Barbara Dunn of Seattle WA 98105Barbara Dunn,  PhD, LICSW, MT-BC  (206) 491-5047
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
4500 - 9th Ave NE, Suite #300- #49, Seattle, WA 98105
Niche Specialty©: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I specialize in integrating creative modalities into my psychotherapy practice for out-of-box approaches to complex challenges. Therapeutic influences in my work include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practice, a systems approach, and music therapy.
Location: 9th Ave NE & NE 45th St
General Practice Area: Adults, Adolescents/Children and Families. I believe that therapy should be as individualized as the people seeking help. For some, this could mean utilizing traditional talk therapy to address challenges. For others, it could mean integrating talk therapy with guided visualizations and music to address a stressful life situation. I work collaboratively and creatively with clients to find the most effective approach for their unique needs and situation. I have found that adding the arts into the therapeutic process can open doors that may otherwise remain closed. Examples of client challenges I have worked with include anxiety, depression, pain management, adjustment to medical illness or disability (including stroke, cancer, and pulmonary distress), relationship problems, communication difficulties, self-expression (including artistic blocks), parenting problems, grief and loss issues. I have more than twenty years of experience as a therapist. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the State of Washington and hold degrees in social work, music therapy, and interdisciplinary studies. My doctoral research focused on using music as a tool for mediation. Additional education includes one year of post-graduate study in ethnomusicology in New Zealand.
