4649 Sunnyside Avenue N., Seattle WA 98103-6952
Niche Specialty©: Board Registered Intervention Specialist dealing with addictions.
Location: Wallingford area of Seattle. Also in Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma.
General Practice Areas: My practice is focused on helping families,
coworkers, and friends to motivate the addicted person into recovery.
Addictions are baffling and disheartening. But there is a highly
successful, proven method of help: a well-crafted intervention that offers a way
to move from despair and confusion to healing. I use a variety of
intervention models, with coaching and facilitation to build an atmosphere of
safety and respect for all involved in the intervention. I have facilitated
interventions since 1979 involving alcohol, drug addiction or abuse, eating
disorders, gambling, sex addiction or sexual compulsions, codependency and
unhealthy dependencies such as (but not limited to) internet or computer
addiction, shopping addiction or compulsion, and the compulsive worker or
"workaholic." Treatment planning is part of an intervention and I provide
information about facilities throughout the United States and abroad.
Together we can bring hope and a way out to the addicted person and their
families. [

Thomas Beck, PhD, LMHC (206) 329-9235 (360) 678-7737
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
4649 Sunnyside Avenue N., Suite 341, Seattle, WA 98103-6955
Locations: Seattle--Wallingford Good Shepherd Center
and another office at Coupeville on Whidbey Island.
General Practice Areas: I work with individual adult men & women, and
couples. I offer counseling for a broad range of issues,
including personal growth, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, worry, stress-reduction and
relationship issues. I offer clinical hypnotherapy, a highly effective
treatment for body, mind and spiritual awakening. Hypnotherapy may involve
guided imagery, as well as positive affirmations that become powerful messages to
facilitate change. I also use a powerful form of accelerated breathing.
"Reichian" breath-work induces heightened states that utilize the spontaneous
healing potential of the psyche to get people unblocked. We expand awareness
by mobilizing blocked energies to transform symptoms. In my psychotherapy
practice, people have achieved new levels of personal freedom, self-esteem and
empowerment. I also facilitate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR). [
