Our Therapy Services:
Couples Therapy
In the safe, nonjudgmental space of couples counseling, you will experience the transformative support of a third-party professional who will help you articulate your inner experience to your partner in a healthy, constructive way. We want to show you how to avoid cycling through the same conflict repeatedly by providing you with customized tools and psychoeducation on self-soothing, co-regulation, and communication so that you can move through the “stuck” areas of your relationship.
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy has become increasingly popular in the mental health world because of its efficacy in treating depression and other trauma symptoms.
Ketamine creates neuroplasticity in the brain so that new connections can form, which leads to cognitive and behavioral change. We combine ketamine therapy with other trauma-focused modalities for a holistic approach.
Trauma Therapy
Our team uses EMDR, an evidence-based modality, along with somatic therapies to treat complex trauma and PTSD. EMDR has been shown to decrease trauma symptoms and desensitize trauma-related triggers in individuals. We combine EMDR with somatic therapies and mindfulness-based techniques for an effective “bottom-up” approach that regulates and nourishes the nervous system. A regulated nervous system is the foundation for mental well-being.
Somatic Therapy Seattle, WA
Kirsten Hartz,
MA, LMHC, LPC
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.
