The Gottman Method is an empirically based system for marital counseling that began in the 70s and continues to this day. The research focuses on what makes marriages succeed or fail.

A ToolKit for Healing
Noreen Wedman  MS LMHCA  (206) 428-8512
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
Queen Anne, Seattle, WA 98119-2331
Niche Specialty©: Abuse (verbal or psychological). Verbal Abuse Hurts More Than You Think. Chronic Verbal Abuse (and other forms of Emotional Abuse) injures self-esteem and is associated with reduced productivity, anxiety, depression, and dissociation. Subtle Verbal Abuse may be difficult to recognize and confront. To live with someone who is Emotionally Abusive is to live with Chronic Stress. Chronic Verbal Abuse is more than a relationship problem in that the abuser may have mental and/or health problems such as alcoholism or other drug dependency issues or a personality disorder like NPD or BPD. Ms. Wedman assists clients in recovering self-esteem, setting verbal boundaries, processing the abuse, and moving forward in life with a greater sense of wholeness. Living with the chronic stress of an Emotionally Abusive Relationship takes concerted effort, commitment and support. Ms. Wedman offers individual and group counseling, an Online Support Network H.E.A.R. (Healing from Emotionally Abusive Relationships) and has written a Workbook: A ToolKit for Healing from Emotionally Abusive Relationships.
Location: Queen Anne Hill, Seattle.
General Practice Area: Healing frees up energy to get more of what you desire out of life. In the group Circle of Healing and in Individual counseling, I empower clients by teaching them Tools for Healing that they can use on their own. My approach is holistic, taking into consideration the emotional, psychological, physical & spiritual aspects of well-being. I use a technique called the "Dive," which identifies & integrates thoughts, feelings, body sensations & behaviors, a process that decreases "triggering" and dissociation while increasing problem solving and self-mastery. New & old situations are resolved. The Dive has been very successful for clients who have experienced all forms of abuse. I specialize in working with people who have lived with a verbally abusive parent or partner. I have written A ToolKit for Healing for people who have been in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship. I work with clients with the following issues: Verbally Abusive Relationships, stress management, anxiety and depression, phobias, relationship problems, couples counseling, loss and grief counseling, abuse and other trauma issues (PTSD), low self-esteem, and crime victims.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
200 First Ave. West, Suite 400, Seattle, WA 98119

Wendy Smith  MA LMHCA  (206) 965-8749
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
18 W. Mercer St., Suite 360, Seattle, WA 98119
Niche Specialty©: Disability Counselor, Counseling. Counseling for people with new or long-term disabilities: An unaddressed need to come to terms with a disability can bring up a lot of powerful emotions, cause anxiety or depression or interpersonal problems, or lead to overwhelm or numbness. Indeed, the quest to make sense of your disability can even prompt a reevaluation of your identity, priorities, and/or the meaning of your life. Finding a counselor who understands this terrain and can travel it with you can be of enormous help. Help is also offered for dealing with societal and internalized oppression.
Location: My office is located on W. Mercer St. between Queen Anne Ave. N. and 1st Ave. W. The building says "Comcast Spotlight" on it and is fully accessible.
General Practice Area: I provide mental health counseling for adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and grief, identity issues, life transitions, and other problems. I also provide help for couples in conflict, couples seeking to address specific relationship problems, and couples wishing to enhance their relationships. Additionally, I counsel people coming to terms with physical or sensory disabilities or chronic or terminal illnesses, and family members of people with disabilities and/or illnesses. I believe that people contain the seeds of their own authenticity and development, and it is my job to help you remove whatever is blocking your natural growth. With individuals, I use “existential” (working in the here-and-now), as well as mindfulness-based, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I also pay attention to your history in order to understand (along with you) how your past development and experiences might be affecting your capacity to live well in the present and imagine a future. Recently, I started using Lifespan Integration(c) therapy. With couples, I use "Emotionally Focused Therapy" to help partners deeply reconnect on the level of feelings and needs--as opposed to having that same unproductive argument over and over again. I also use very practical, research-derived techniques to help partners develop strategies for successful communication and for joint living and dreaming, while, at the same time, maintaining their identities as whole and separate human bein [ Email Wendy Smith ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]

Kate Ramstedt  MA LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
200 First Ave W. Suite 400, Seattle, WA 98119
Location: First West Building
General Practice Area: Through the support of therapy, an individual can experience positive changes in their lives. Therapy is a wonderful catalyst for helping clients move from a place of feeling “stuck” to successfully navigating transitions. Through this change process you can reclaim a sense of hope, joy, energy and peace. Having a safe place to gain new insight into past and present challenges can help you move towards identifying and making the changes you want for your future. You might be feeling powerless to make change or have a hard time believing there are other options out there for you. When you look at challenges in a new way you can begin to seek a better way of being in the world. Therapy is a wonderful place to discover how resilient you really are. I provide a personalized approach to therapy based on the individuals presenting issues and needs. I work from a strength based approach that incorporates challenging negative thinking (cognitive behavioral), connecting current ways of thinking and behaving to trauma or challenges from the past (psychodynamic), as well as solution focused techniques. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with great success. Briefly, DBT focuses on helping us have a more mindful approach to our problems while improving our ability to regulate emotions, tolerate distress and have effective interpersonal relationships.

Simcha Shtull  MA LMHCA  (347) 866-0515
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
1811 Queen Anne Ave. N, Suite 201B, Seattle, WA 98109
Niche Specialty©: Premarital Counseling & Marriage Preparation. Pre-marital and early-stage couples counseling is invaluable for building a firm foundation for healthy, long-lasting relationships. Counseling during this period assists in picking up on negative habits and relational patterns before they become entrenched, and in identifying areas of difference before they become major sources of conflict. We will examine problematic issues through family-of-origin and cultural lenses, and explore new modes of conflict resolution.
Location: The office is located on top of Queen Anne Hill, above Diablo Café and Queen Anne Bookstore. Take the stairwell to the right of the café up to the office.
General Practice Area: I have a fundamental belief in my clients’ capacity for growth, and in their ability — with encouragement and support — to discover their own solutions. In session, I will focus on understanding your needs and goals and help you discover how to achieve them. We will look at the way in which your unique personal, family and cultural experience influences your behavior and contributes to your current difficulty or distress. We will take a close look at the dynamics at play in your important relationships, uncovering patterns are no longer useful and looking for alternative ones to replace them.

Brian Pendergast  M.A. LMHCA  (253) 797-9315
Licensed Mental Health Councelor Associate
1817 Queen Anne Ave. N, #409, Seattle, WA 98109
Niche Specialty©: Abuse (verbal or psychological). I specialize in working with clients who have suffered from abuse of all kinds, especially in the areas of emotionally violent relationships (both current and past). We will explore some of the troubling elements of this covert-yet-powerful form of abuse and trauma.
Location: My office is in the "Space" building about a block south of Bartell's Drug Store.
General Practice Area: I work mostly with individuals and couples, early adolescence and older. I have over ten years experience therapuetically sitting with people in a variety of settings: community agencies, schools, churches, and universities. Though I have experience using multiple forms of therapy, including Psychodynamic, Object Relations Theory, Adlerian, and Cognitive Behavioral, I mostly use a relational form of therapy, geared toward helping the client become better acquainted with how relationships have formed how they function in daily life. Through experiential empathy and honesty, we explore the issues that brought a person to seek counseling, and the hope is to walk with a client as they find new ways to relate to the people in their lives, thus experiencing more freedom, peace, hope and love. The various issues that I have worked through with clients include: abuse, anxiety, anger issues, parenting problems, sexual issues, addictions, spiritual matters, career decisions, and self-esteem problems. I also enjoy couples' counseling as part of my practice; I seek to provide a space for couples to sort through the messy dyanmics of intimate relationships in deeply transformative ways.
