Welcome to Clarity Counseling Seattle

A quick word about the current state of things...

If there were ever a time for therapy, right? So many aspects of our future seem uncertain these days and it seems we're all struggling to adjust to what has changed in our communities and within our households. 

The therapists in our practice feel so fortunate to be in a profession where we can directly help people through life events like the ones we're all going through in one form or another. As we all keep hearing, the pandemic experience is truly without precedent, however what has remained constant, and will remain throughout whatever comes, is our commitment to helping individuals, couples, and families in the ways we have been doing since 2010. As such, sessions are currently conducted as online therapy (please click here for details) until we can all be together again.

Additionally, and just as important, the therapists at Clarity strive to provide a welcoming, comfortable environment that celebrates diversity and authentic self-expression. Our office welcomes clients of all backgrounds and communities, and we take special care to create space for those experiencing oppression/discrimination.

We've heard so many people tell us about what's challenging in their lives right now:

• *More recently: The pandemic has us each working from home and it's really stressing our relationship; My anxiety/depression/panic is exacerbated by the pandemic; I don't know how to handle the uncertainty/grief/trauma of current events; Our sex life has really struggled during the pandemic.
• *More recently: I'm scared/heartbroken/angry over ongoing racism, oppression, and violence toward marginalized populations.
• My partner doesn't feel emotionally connected to me.
• I knew she was unhappy, but I didn't know she was this unhappy.
• We don't have much sex anymore and it's effecting our relationship.
• Sex used to be great between us but that's changed. We're confused and scared.
• I'm stressed, anxious, unsettled. I don't know why.
• I used to feel better and enjoy my life more...what's happening with me?
• My partner/friends/family have been asking me to talk to a therapist for a long time.
• I know we need help but I'm afraid I'll be ganged up on in couples therapy.

Ways We Can Help at our South Lake Union Office

We get it. As Licensed Therapists in Seattle, we've been working with people for many years and have helped with so many of these situations. You may be thinking that your situation can't be changed. That you can't change. If your current challenge is related to your relationship then maybe you’re worried that your partner can't or won't make positive changes.

You may have tried therapy in the past and didn't feel like it helped, or you may feel embarrassed that you've waited this long to reach out for help.

Change is possible. Help is available. Things can be different.
