Lisa Fann, MA, LMHC (206) 784-5005
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
444 NE Ravenna Boulevard, Suite #301, Seattle, WA 98115-6467
Location: just east of Green Lake Park in Seattle.
General Practice Area: I counsel individuals 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 deepening relationships, recovering from sexual abuse, and writing therapeutically. [ Email Lisa Fann ]
Alworth Counseling
Pam Alworth, MS, LMFT (206) 356-3277
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
444 NE Ravenna Blvd, Suite #309, Seattle, WA 98115
Location: Ravenna Office Building near Green Lake
General Practice Area: I believe that life experience and relationships shape how one perceives the world and one's self. Because of this, people become stuck in the same patterns affecting their emotional health and well being. This belief is based on a systemic and experiential theoretical perspective. I believe that through the therapeutic process, people can explore and alter these perceptions, bringing them closer to a more genuine self. I use a variety of client-centered treatment approaches including Internal Family Systems, Experiential, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and poor self esteem. Couples who are engaged for pre-marital counseling, and couples/parents struggling with communication, conflict, and decreased relationship satisfaction. Also families struggling with relationship difficulties, life transitions, and conflict.

Lauren Pollard, MA, LMHCA (206) 390-1316
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
843 N.E. 66th St., Seattle, WA 98115
Location: In the Roosevelt neighborhood, easily accessible by bus or I-5.
General Practice Area: Sometimes our relationships, life circumstances, or family history can be overwhelming. We're left feeling depressed, angry, anxious or lonely. We know life could be better, that we could feel better, yet are paralyzed. It doesn't have to be that way. The truth is, whether you are age 15 or 50, change is easier when you have support. I believe that this change starts with the safe and trusting relationship between therapist and client.
Our early relationships and experiences influence how we see ourselves and relate to others, often in ways that are outside of our awareness. In our willingness to open up and learn more about ourselves, we take action toward making life more rewarding and meaningful.
My approach to psychotherapy is warm, non-judgmental, collaborative, and conversational. If you would like to talk about whether I could help, please call and arrange for a free 30-minute consultation.

Michael Samsel, MA, RN, LMHC (206) 931-8355
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
823 NE 65th Street, Seattle, WA 98115
Location: Office is in a thoughtfully remodeled single family house at the corner of 65th and 9th. Waiting room enters from the rear. A code for the keypad will be provided when making an appointment.
General Practice Area: I work with adults, couples, parents with children,and adolescents, and any combination of the above. I am not a specialized child therapist.
I am trained both in Family Therapy, and in the form of psychodynamic therapy developed by Alexander Lowen, called Bio-energetics. This 'Lowenian' type of therapy seeks to include the wisdom of the body with the life of the mind. Common issues addressed include depression, relationship conflict, stress, and under-achievement.
Therapy is a process of simultaneously 1) increasing self awareness, 2) increasing direct self-expression, and 3) increasing the capacity to have and hold strong feelings.
Therapy should make sense. The type of actions that restore satisfying living are not unusual. Rather they are everyday actions done with feeling, contact, and conviction. I believe that joyful living is a birthright, but that our experiences have often led to a style of life that ensures survival in some sense, but largely at the cost of joy. I agree with most therapists that early relationships are often the source of later joyless living, but I also concentrate on how this legacy of self-limiting and self-punishing behaviors is present and solvable in here-and-now relationships.
Many people dismiss therapy because they believe it is either empty reassurance, or an expensive format to hear self-help advice, or "renting a friend", or a "crutch" to make suffering tolerable, etc... Good therapy, however, is made by the participan [ Email Michael Samsel ] [ Go to counselor - therapist website ]
Crossroads Counseling
Beverley Chase, MEd, MA, LMHC (206) 354-2889
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
444 NE Ravenna Blvd, Suite #301, Seattle, WA 98115
General Practice Area: We all face challenges sometime in our lives. Those challenges may be major life transitions (death of a loved one) or longer-term issues (shaky self-esteem). At those times, we can feel overwhelmed and confused, numb or stuck - especially if we've lost contact with our "internal compass." In our work together, I'll help you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions, and clarify your deeply-held beliefs and values. This process will reconnect you with your own inner wisdom - which will, in turn, guide you to make more meaningful choices and foster more authentic relationships.
I enjoy working with adults who are facing challenges in: life transitions, cross-cultural issues (including biracial identity and intercultural couples issues), relationships, shyness, low self-esteem, grief and loss, anxiety and depression.
I tailor the work we do together to meet your needs and comfort level. Modalities include psychodynamic (Jungian, dreamwork), existential, and cognitive-behavioral. [ Email Beverley Chase ]

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
444 NE Ravenna Blvd, Suite #309, Seattle, WA 98115
Location: One block southeast of Gregg's Greenlake Cycle on Ravenna.
General Practice Area: No one seeks therapy for the same reason. I do not know your story or why you are seeking, but I know it is not easy. Should you choose to work with me, my hope for you in our work together would be that you would find freedom from whatever binds you--whatever keeps you from joy, from peace, from living as fully as you have within you to live.
I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Mars Hill Graduate School in Seattle. As an intern, I worked for Pathways Counseling, YWCA with women and adolescent girls. I now work in private practice and offer counseling for women and men. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, self-esteem, identity development, and body image. I also work with recovery from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse trauma, anger management, stress management, transitions, grief and loss, and career counseling. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, reading, and time with friends and family.
My approach is Relational, incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral and Narrative aspects. This means I believe your relationships, including your relationship with me, your thoughts, and your life stories will be essential to our work, will help me understand you, and will help us move toward what you are seeking.
It is important that you work with a therapist who is a good fit for you. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact me by email or phone. [ Email Elizabeth Hampson ]

Linda Mitchell, MA, LMHC (206) 619-5580
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
5607 Keystone Pl N, Suite #C, Seattle, WA 98103
Location: Tangletown
General Practice Area: I work with individuals and couples, treating anxiety, including panic attacks, phobias, obsessive thinking, depression, relationship problems, existential angst, and general malaise. I am also a certified teacher of TM.
My education and training is in various modes of psychology: cognitive/behavioral; family of origin; object-relations; I work in a relational and psychodynamic way which may include body awareness and relaxation. I believe that the "self": mind, soul, thoughts, feelings and behavior, are affected by both conscious and non-conscious factors. To become aware of, and to share oneself in caring therapeutic relationship is beneficial, and will interrupt self- defeating patterns and increase freedom and happiness. Mind/body connection, somatic awareness, and emotional release are important aspects of our work towards self discovery and healing.
The more open you can be about what you think and feel, the better the work will go. I will provide a safe environment for honesty and openness to guide you toward changes in unwanted behaviors, self understanding, and to take more effective responsibility for yourself. I want to know the real you.
Nearly everyone I have worked with finds that psychotherapy reduces troublesome symptoms, helps to heal relational wounds, and makes life more meaningful and enjoyable. We will work together to improve the quality of your life, achieve goals, reduce troublesome symptoms, improve work and personal relationships.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
6817 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98117
Niche Specialty©: Abortion: (Post-Abortion Counseling). Having an abortion is an event that marks one's life. For many women, this is an event that triggers a myriad of emotions and thoughts, and yet it is so rarely shared with others on a personal level. These experiences can greatly impact the way we live, how we interact with those around us. I believe that deep healing, transformative insight and new freedom can come through the process of therapy following an abortion.
