Dr. Austin Gonzalez-Randolph has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. He provides psychological testing evaluations for ADHD, Autism, personality disorders, and other issues.

Are you struggling with pornography, or out-of-control sexual behaviors? Is it impacting your relationships, including the one you have with yourself? Know that recovery is possible. You do not have to endure this alone. It is my hope that, by facing your compulsivity, you can increase your resilience, reduce your anxiety, and rediscover whom you really are. To help you achieve this and other positive outcomes, I tap into my extensive training as a somatic therapist and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) Candidate, as well as my own transformational experiences in therapy. This may sound daunting – we will go at your pace. I take a holistic approach and will gently guide you to resources that complement therapy. I may invite you to complete optional work in your own time, or recommend books, videos, and activities that support and advance the work we do in session. As well as talking, I invite my clients to engage in a range of experiential activities. I have had success with clients who had plentiful experience in therapy without achieving their goals. Whether or not you wish to work with me, I highly encourage you to try somatic therapy if you have the opportunity. You are not what you have done, and I aspire to co-create an environment of acceptance, non-judgment, and compassion.

Now more than ever, in the COVID-19 crisis, therapy can help you to cope with heightened anxiety, depression, loneliness, and lack of purpose. With online video conferencing, I can provide regular therapy without you coming into the office. Therapy provides a safe place to ask the questions that scare us, to find connection and healing, to feel good and be authentic, and take charge of our lives. I support clients' efforts to gain insight into the sources of their challenges and pain, find connection, make positive changes in relationships, identify strengths and resources, cope with personal history, and take charge of their life. I help children, teens, and adults cope with stress, express themselves honestly, and explore personal meaning and purpose. I have experience working with children as a school counselor and in the child welfare system, and working with children, teens, and adults in private practice. I use relational psychodynamic methods, with insights from CBT and other modalities. My approach as a therapist is to provide warm and attentive listening, unconditional positive regard, gentle honesty and encouragement, as I join with you in the project of telling and understanding your story, and feeling your best. I am an MDiv and am open to your religious experience. I am also available for teletherapy from the privacy of your own home.

When we get stuck and trapped by the overwhelming feelings and demands in our life, it is possible to find hope, choice, and voice around what is happening, particularly when there is someone to accompany us in those places with much thoughtfulness and care. My approach to supporting you will be to provide a safe space and warm relationship for you to sort through the parts in your life that are impacting you. I generally support my clients to use the time and space in sessions how they would like in terms of the content, and as we work together I will draw from an array of therapeutic perspectives to think with you about what is coming up, and how you'd like to relate to the relational dynamics, feelings, and challenges that are present.

As a psychotherapist and substance use disorder professional working toward credentialing as a sex therapist, I take a holistic approach to mental health. Whether you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, having difficulty with sex and intimacy or relying on unhealthy vices to cope; a partnership in counseling can be the answer to lasting change. I make it a priority to cultivate a safe and non-judgemental space where all individuals and partnerships are welcomed and celebrated. Too many people struggle silently with challenges around depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationships, intimacy, pleasure, sex, sexuality and identity. As a your therapist, I will honor your journey to healing and intimacy with yourself as well as others with whom you may be partnered. It is my passion to support clients in achieving wellness as it is defined uniquely by each individual. I work with my clients to explore challenges, maximize strengths and incorporate evidence based tools in their path to mental health, recovery, authentic expression, erotic liberation, and pleasure at a comfortable pace.

I am a psychotherapist in the Ballard area. I work primarily with adults in individual therapy. My approach is based in Relational therapy and attachment-based, psychodynamic and trauma-informed theories. You may long to be accepted as you are—fully, without judgment or restriction—and to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Maybe you’ve noticed old relational patterns, shaped in childhood, repeating in your adult life, leaving you feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck. You may want healing from wounds formed in past relationships and a new way of relating to yourself and others. You want to feel more genuine, confident, and free to live the life you truly desire. I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. My approach is grounded in Relational therapy and supported by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed theories. If our wounds are formed in relationships, they can be healed within them. Together, we’ll explore your story with compassion, uncover patterns, and begin healing what has kept you from the life you want. I provide telehealth sessions only.

I am a telehealth therapist and see people in New Jersey, Washington, and Maryland States either via video or phone sessions. My clients explore many facets of their lives with me, including their feelings of anxiety and depression. I also walk alongside people who are navigating their racial identity. Others are in a space of transition in their career paths and personal relationships. Finally, I specialize in working with people grieving a loss in their lives. No matter what your struggles are, my capacity to sit in difficult spaces with myself is the cornerstone of the work I do with those who engage with me in therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe space to find healing through meaningful presence and attunement with another person. I seek to walk alongside you as you gain an understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your path in our world. I seek to hold a compassionate, expansive and open stance as I walk alongside you. I believe as we come to understand and heal our own personal narratives, we have the opportunity to see our changes ripple out into society as we wholly embrace the freedom of interacting out of our true selves.

Are you confused, frustrated and angry? Have you invested a lot into your relationship but your partner always makes you feel "not good enough"? Are you treated like a second class citizen in your own house? Slowly even you believe that something is wrong with you? The more unfair it gets, the more you try to prove how good you are. Now you have reached the point to where you do even more for your significant other. What's wrong with that picture? Doesn't it feel like a trap? It might be and it is called Emotional Manipulation. On the surface it might sound loving and caring, but in reality it is designed to induce guilt, shame or anxiety. Without recognition, anyone would do whatever it takes to avoid those painful, negative feelings. The manipulator only needs to give "hints" or "directions" what you are expected to do and you instinctively jump to do it. It?s logical. Gradually, the manipulator controls more and more parts of your life. The emotional toll is devastating: the relationship is highly pressurized. Your Self-Esteem is deep down from the constant negative judgments. You are full of doubts about yourself and about the motives of your partner. You feel no matter what you do, you cannot change the situation. I see why you feel that way: someone else controls your emotions and behavior. Additionally, you are right when you think you cannot change the manipulator. Although there is a slim chance for change: you can change your responses to the manipulative attempts. By so doing, it changes the whole pattern. There is help and there is hope! I can help you to unveil the manipulative process, to respond differently and to override manipulation. You can restore your confidence and improve your Self-Esteem. You can create a fairer, more respectful, more balanced relationship.

I am confident that you can heal and grow when offered compassion, thoughtful support, and the opportunity to learn new skills in evidence-based therapy. To help you achieve your goals, I will actively evaluate your needs and build you a scientifically sound care plan. I will support you in your learning, whether you want to improve your mental health, make the most of your relationships or professional life, or cope with chronic illness. I am proud to work with people who have diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and personal identities. My training is from Emory University and Columbia Medical Center, and I am a psychology professor at Whitman College. This background enables me to leverage psychological science for my clients' benefit. My treatments are informed primarily by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with other evidence-based and culturally affirmative elements as needed. I have published many peer-reviewed research studies and book chapters on personality and psychological adjustment. I am a member of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, the Washington State Psychological Association, the American Association of University Professors, and Phi Beta Kappa. The highest praise for a well-done therapy is when a client tells me: “I’ve learned new skills, and I have grown as a person as a result of working with you.” Therapy can be effective, but deciding to call a therapist and ask for help can be difficult. To help you decide, my website provides information about what therapy is and how it works. (Check it out!) I serve Washington State and other PSYPACT-participating states.

You’re not here because things are easy. Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a long time—grief that never quite moved on, old emotional pain that still catches in your chest, a sense that you’re “too much” or “not enough” depending on the day. Maybe you’ve tried talking it out, rationalizing it, stuffing it down. But your body still remembers. The pain doesn’t move just because you want it to. I’m Laurel, and I work with people like you, the deep-feelers, the survivors, the ones who’ve been told to just “get over it.” I know what it’s like to feel stuck, misunderstood, or spiritually disconnected. I know how exhausting it can be to always be holding it together on the outside while everything inside feels tangled or numb. In our work together, I’ll help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your own truth. My approach is intuitive, body-based, and grounded in real presence. I integrate somatic healing, breathwork, and movement with trauma-informed care and relational therapy. That means we don’t just talk about your experiences—we honor how they live in your body, how they shape your relationships, and how they can begin to shift, gently and honestly. We’ll move at your pace. I’ll bring compassion, curiosity, and clarity—not performative perfection. I won’t ask you to go where you’re not ready, but I will help you return to yourself with more safety, expression, and emotional resonance than you may have felt in a long time. If you’re holding grief, trauma, relational pain, or depression, if you’ve felt failed by talk therapy, if you’re longing for something deeper, something more honest and embodied—this work might be for you. Let’s meet there.

If you’ve ever felt like too much, or not enough, because of where you come from, what you carry, or how the world sees you, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re navigating the invisible weight of generational trauma. Maybe chronic illness has shaped your days in ways others don’t understand. Maybe you move through life holding pieces of multiple cultures, never quite feeling like you belong in any of them. Or maybe you’ve just gotten really good at performing—at showing up, holding it all together, and never being fully seen. If any of that sounds like you, I want you to know: therapy can be a place where you don’t have to explain everything to be understood. I’m Savannah Delgado, but most people call me Sav. I became a therapist by first becoming a question-asker. From a young age, I found myself wondering, “Why do people do what they do?”—especially when those choices caused pain. I didn’t want to repeat the patterns I saw. I wanted to understand them, interrupt them, and heal them. That desire led me into the healing professions—and now, to clients like you, who are ready to break cycles without breaking themselves. I work especially well with: Individuals and families carrying intergenerational trauma, cultural complexity, or family system wounds Clients navigating grief, chronic illness, emotional overwhelm, or identity invisibility Queer folks reclaiming safety, expression, and truth within oppressive or rigid systems People healing from codependency, perfectionism, or being “the strong one” I bring lived experience from my intersections: being raised between Hispanic, Native, and colonized cultures; navigating chronic illness; and learning how to hold grief and joy at the same time. I get what it feels like to not fit into neat boxes. I know how deeply it matters to be met by someone who just gets it. My approach blends warmth, attunement, and honesty. I draw from family systems therapy, somatic tools, client-centered work, and solution-focused practices. I often use metaphor, body-based regulation, and deep listening to help you explore what lives beneath the surface. In our work together, I’ll support you in rebuilding what you didn’t break, but now have the power to heal. As one of my clients once said, “Being queer... the world sucks. Other queer people? They just get that.” I want you to feel that kind of resonance in our sessions. I’ll put my hands underneath your hands to help you hold what feels heavy.
