Trauma-focused somatic and ketamine-assisted therapy in Seattle, WA.
-
So often, therapy favors the mind and neglects the body and nervous system. As therapists specializing in somatic therapy, we aim to get you back in your body. We want you to feel relief, not just in our sessions, but in the following days and weeks.
The truth is that trauma isn’t just “in your head”; it leaves a very real biological imprint on your body, memory, and brain chemistry. Through somatic (ancient Greek for “body”) psychotherapy and mindfulness-based practices, we will help you find freedom from limiting beliefs, depression, anxiety, and addictive patterns.
-
EMDR is an evidence-based and effective modality for treating trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and PTSD. Our team of trauma therapists takes a somatic approach to EMDR, blending mindfulness practices with somatic therapy and parts work (Internal Family Systems).
If you’ve been struggling with trauma-related symptoms that haven’t budged with traditional talk therapy in the past, this option may be best for you.
-
Ketamine therapy is an excellent option if you feel like you’ve tried everything but still feel stuck. It is a safe and legal therapeutic option for treating symptoms ranging from depression and anxiety to OCD and eating disorders.
Ketamine therapy is a science-backed intervention that heals on a neurobiological level, ultimately creating more lasting and transformative change.
Serving Clients in Seattle (In-Person), Oregon & Colorado (Virtually)Kirsten Hartz, MA, LMHC, LPC
Founder & Therapist in Seattle, WA“I see myself as a companion and guide for highly sensitive, empathic individuals seeking a path to recovery from trauma.
If you’re the kind of person who feels big emotions (like tearing up at a beautiful sunset), tends to everyone else’s needs but your own, and struggles with self-care and boundaries, I’m here for you. I love to help my highly sensitive clients build healthier relationships with clear boundaries, swap out negative self-talk, find new ways of relating to their anxiety and depression, and come home to their bodies.
As a survivor of profound loss, I understand what it’s like to take a healing journey. I humbly see myself as a fellow traveler on the path, always growing, learning, and evolving. Both in my own life and those of my clients, I have witnessed and believe in the healing power of embodiment to recover from deep pain. In my work, there is always space for vulnerable moments, profound realizations, uninhibited emotions, and very often, deep belly laughs.”

We'll start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy and determine if we're a good fit. If so, your first full session will be 60 minutes.
We'll explore your history, current concerns, and goals. In our intake session, together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan and discuss which modalities (ketamine therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, or a combination) will best support your healing journey.

Your first session is a 60-minute intake where we’ll explore your history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This structured session helps us understand where you’ve been and create a direction for our work together. We encourage you to schedule self-care time afterward, as sharing your story can feel vulnerable.
