I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like their emotions are out of control… they feel like they’re on a treadmill, trying so hard but getting nowhere, relationships aren’t what they want them to be, maybe they don’t have enough energy to do things and rest isn’t restful. Or maybe it’s that they’re not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

Trauma-informed treatment including EMDR is one of my specializations.
One of the beautiful things about counseling is having the privilege to hear individual’s stories. Each therapeutic interaction presents with unique history, strengths, and concerns. I operate primarily from an Interpersonal orientation which looks at the counseling relationship as a “safe haven” to facilitate the change each client desires. I believe that relationship – with self and with others – heals. I strive to hold space and actively participate with each client desiring change, counseling and working toward congruence of body, mind and spirit.
Debra Young, Counselor, MA, LMHC
Bellingham, WA 98225
I am also an EMDR provider.
Life is ever changing and evolving. At times change brings with it a sense of excitement and joy, and at other times a turn of events leaves us disappointed, overwhelmed, sad, or disconnected from others and ourselves. Although therapy cannot stop the ups and downs of living, it can help us develop new strategies, new perceptions, and new behaviors that transform feelings of self-doubt and despair into resilient feelings of inner strength and fulfillment. I provide a safe, confidential and caring environment, and bring a heartfelt and genuine approach to support you in finding joy and inner peace.

Utilizing EMDR and other trauma-informed therapies, I work with you to regain a sense of meaning and well-being.
Ever wonder why the world feels so crazy, so inhumane? Because our “civilized”, artificial world is, in many ways, simply unhealthy for our physical and emotional well-being. As if modern civilization is not traumatic enough in itself, many people experience the hardship of personal trauma in their lives. When we have to deal with overwhelming emotions, frightening physical sensations and triggers, depression, anger, anxiety, and seemingly never-ending worry, the world can seem meaningless and full of pain. Despite this, there are many pathways towards healing, no matter how much trauma an individual has gone through.
Makiko Guji, Psychologist, PsyD
Seattle, WA 98101
Waitlist for new clients
Depending on the client’s presenting issues and specific goals to achieve, I apply the combination of different therapeutic approaches, including modern psychodynamic, mindfulness skills, DBT, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, existential, and body centered approaches.
As you are in the process of looking for a therapist, you may already be half-way through resolving your issues. It is said that client’s readiness and willingness to make changes is the strongest indicator of successful therapy outcome. As a therapist, I will accompany you in the journey of actualizing your fullest potential by assisting you to develop internal and external resources such as the sense of freedom, choices, healthy sense of self, responsibility, managing life balance, and strong support systems and relationships.
Mindful Sessions, Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Seattle, WA 98117 (Online Only)
Waitlist for new clients
Utilizing problem-solving, short-term/brief counseling strategies, mindfulness, EMDR and parts work, I guide clients to the heart of the matter so they can have their goals and objectives met quickly so they can start feeling better about themselves and their lives.
We seek help when an issue arises that we can’t seem to get through. In relationships, we might find ourselves having the same argument with our partner, family member or loved one over and over again. Maybe there’s an internal struggle we’ve tried to solve by reading self-help books or talking to our closest friends, only to find the problem is still a problem. That’s where I can help. Together we’ll identify goals and collaborate on a treatment plan. The beginning of any journey or change begins with acceptance, the proper treatment, and a healthier connection with ourselves and the world around us.
