Lisa Fann, MA, RC (206) 784-5005 Counselor
444 NE Ravenna Boulevard, Suite 309, Seattle, WA. 98115-6467
Location: just east of Green Lake Park in Seattle.
General Practice Areas: I counsel individuals, couples and groups who
want to work on difficult relationships and intimacy problems; isolation;
physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; depression and anxiety; theological
matters; grief; and life transitions. Because many problems are rooted in
relational issues, I look at the nature of the client's current and historical
relationships, focusing on how relational style interferes with experiencing a
meaningful life. As we work together, we look at integrity (facing denied
reality), freedom (shedding the unnecessary constraints we put on ourselves), and
responsibility (seeing ourselves as people who can choose and have an impact for
good in our world). I also lead groups on sexual abuse recovery, body work, and
therapeutic writing. [
