  • Soleil Brandenfels

    Openings:

    In-Person and Virtual on Thursdays

    Each of us is navigating a unique journey and encountering barriers along the way. At times, we may find ourselves feeling lost or stuck. Much of our longing stems from three simple but profound needs: we want to be seen, chosen, and understood. Whether you're grappling with excessive self-criticism, physical symptoms of emotional dysregulation, or the aftermath of challenging life circumstances, transitions, or oppressive social systems, I'm here to offer support. Together, we can work on regulating your nervous system and fostering a fulfilling and healthy life.

    Soleil is a genuine, warm, transparent and collaborative. She sees individuals, couples, and families. She holds the belief that personal agency is a powerful catalyst for change and growth. In your collaborative journey, your work will be guided by your goals, strengths, challenges, values, beliefs, and perspectives.

    In addition to empathetic conversations, your sessions may include: analyzing patterns of thoughts and behaviors, guided mindfulness, investigating parts of self, noticing sensations in the body, relaxation training, exploring relationship patterns, growing self-acceptance and self-nurturing skills, uncovering survival mechanisms, and more.

  • Rebeka Ramsay

    Openings:

    Virtual on Tuesdays and Thursdays

    Limited availbility in-person on Mondays

    The process of becoming a mental health professional as a Latina immigrant involved a lot of reflection and breakthroughs that brought Rebeka here today, ready to become your counselor. She is passionate about perinatal mental health and working alongside immigrants and individuals from underrepresented communities. Rebeka’s collaborative therapeutic style is rooted in multicultural feminism and attachment exploration. She is committed to fostering a brave environment where you can work on your goals together. Rebeka believes that her role as a counselor is to be there for her clients, supporting them towards empowerment to move through life, its challenges, and wonders.

    Rebeka is aware of her privileges as a cisgender, white passing, able-bodied woman and understands that the decolonizing of her clinical practice and perspective while living in a white supremacist society has to be constant. It is a lifelong commitment that she is passionate about and open to sharing. Rebeka is an advocate and member of the LGBTQIA+ community and holds a “health at every size,” body and sex/queer/kink positive and affirming position.

    As part of her commitment to social justice and to caring for both clients and community, she will be wearing a face mask during in person appointments. You are welcome to do the same. Additionally, both the waiting area and the therapy room are equipped with HEPA air purifiers.

  • Layla Hakim

    Openings:

    Virtual on Fridays, Saturdays

    In-Person on Tuesdays & Thursdays

    Layla’s work focuses on laying the foundations for individuals, couples, and families to create a safe and inclusive space during sessions while focusing on their emotional healing. In this therapeutic process, you will be working collaboratively to help identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. She works from an integrative model that utilizes strengths-based, family-of-origin, relational, and collaborative approaches. Layla is conscious of clients' spiritual and religious perspectives and can incorporate spirituality into the therapeutic process to the extent desired. Currently, she is a counseling intern with Sea Change Therapy and a master’s student in Marriage and Family Therapy at Seattle Pacific University.

    A major focus in her work is around family-building such as fostering, kinship, customary care, and adoption. She also specializes in therapy dealing with trauma, anxiety, and disruptive attachment within sessions. This approach employs different modalities ranging from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Brainspotting.

    The key to her therapeutic process is to remain “client-focused” throughout the sessions while providing them with the safe space, encouragement, and tools needed to empower them to face their challenges.
