Therapists in North Seattle

    Tracy Bell, LMHC

    (she/her)

    I draw on a foundation in Jungian/Depth psychotherapy and Buddhist philosophy. I have done both hospice work and Buddhist meditation for over 20 years as ongoing practices in personal growth and development. These studies and practices form the basis of my work with my clients in psychotherapy.

    Donna James, PhD

    (she/her)

    In my practice, I see individuals and couples age 18 and older. The therapy focuses on strengthening the client’s capacities for healthy relationships with self and others, and for engagement with work and play through life phases. This attention to individual development throughout life is true for my work with individuals and couples. With couples, I help guide each person toward maximizing her/his own best self within the context of the relationship, working toward increased intimacy.

    With a background in athletics, art, and education, my passion lies in guiding individuals toward wholeness through mental health therapy. We work together to explore your struggles, recognizing that human relationships bring both deep joy and profound pain. Through this, we uncover and confront hidden aspects of your self experience, fostering understanding, healing, and self-acceptance.

    Sara Oldham, LMHC

    (she/her)

    Therapy is a safe space to wonder about why we do the things we do and to better understand the patterns that get us stuck. Many times, there are very good reasons why we do what we do, and the act of understanding these reasons can bring a new and hopeful perspective and an opportunity to change. My role as a therapist is to accompany you in discovering more deeply who you are.

  • Smiling woman with blonde hair wearing a black blazer and necklace.

    Jennifer Palmer, LMHC

    (she/her)

    I am dedicated to helping people rediscover a true connection to themselves so they can live life from an authentic place. This is a process of peeling back the layers to find the true nature of what lies underneath the anxiety and distress that can accompany day-to-day living. Depression, stress, self-judgment and limiting beliefs keep us from living our full potential and experiencing life to its fullest extent. I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

  • A woman with glasses and long hair wearing a white shirt and dark cardigan. She is sitting in a room with books on shelves in the background.

    Sharon Royal, LMHC

    (she/her)

    I offer psychotherapy for adult individuals and couples experiencing problems of living, relating, and working. Individuals with distressing emotions, mood or thoughts. Those facing life transitions. Those who might struggle with interpersonal relationships. Who live with grief and loss. Those going through challenging life circumstance. I work frequently with persons affected by ADHD and related conditions, whether in their own adult lives or alongside someone close. I work with parents and couples finding their way.

  • Silhouettes of dandelion seeds floating on a black background.

    Peggy Shafer, LMHC

    (she/her)

    I enjoy offering kind, insightful, interactive counseling and psychotherapy to people who are experiencing depression or anxiety and to people who are facing loss or chronic illness or who are coming to terms with their sexuality, identity or self-definition. My aim is to partner with you in affirming your strengths and wisdom while working with you to outgrow patterns of self-defeat, negative thinking and unkindness toward yourself.

  • Woman with long brown hair and glasses smiling, wearing a light-colored zip-up jacket.

    Whatever you're going through that led you to seek out a therapist is most likely tied to your relationships. Distress or heartache is rarely a solitary experience. Perhaps your family, a friend, a partner or unrequited love, your boss or co-worker, or someone from your past comes to mind. And last, but definitely not least, our relationship with ourselves can be a source of happiness or suffering. The way we talk to ourselves and the things we believe about ourselves can create peace or pain.
