Because I feel it in my body, not just my head.

If this sounds familiar

You've managed the thoughts. Your body's still bracing.

You've already tried thinking your way out of it. The next step is to put your body in the room too. Here's what tends to come up before clients land here.

  • Your chest tightens before you even know what you're worried about, and the breathing apps haven't done much for it
  • Your shoulders have been up around your ears for weeks, your jaw aches every morning, and the body never quite lands
  • You wake at 3am with your heart pounding, lie there for an hour and start the day already exhausted
  • Your stomach drops before meetings, nausea before things you used to handle fine, GI flares that line up with the bad weeks
  • You've done CBT, you've done the thought records, and the loop still won't quiet at bedtime

Because I want my body to settle, not just my thoughts.

What's possible

A breath that finally calms. The relief CBT alone couldn't reach.

Clients describe what changes first as the body softening: a real breath, a Monday without the brace, sleep that holds past 3am.

  • Sleep that holds through the night, because your nervous system is no longer scanning for the next worry at 3am
  • A chest that unlocks during the meeting that used to spike it, because the body has somewhere to put the pressure besides bracing
  • Shoulders that drop, a jaw that lets go and a breath that goes all the way down, because care worked the body alongside the thoughts

What we stand by

What you can count on at every appointment.

  • Whole-Body Anxiety Lens
  • Three Seattle Metro Offices
  • Body + Talking Work Combined
  • Most Major Insurance Plans Accepted
  • Telehealth Across Washington

What you'll find here

Anxiety care that picks up where CBT and the apps leave off.

Body-based modalities alongside the talking work, matched to how anxiety is actually showing up. The kind of anxiety care most Seattle specialists make you pay out-of-pocket for.

  • The body worked alongside the thinking

    Anxiety lives in your chest, sleep and shoulders, not just your head. We treat the body alongside the thinking, so the parts talk therapy can't reach start to settle.

  • Body-based modalities, covered by insurance

    Somatic, polyvagal and EMDR work are usually cash-pay only. Here they're covered by insurance, like the rest of your care.

  • Coordinated with psychiatry when medication is on the table

    If medication comes up, our psychiatric providers work from the same plan as your therapist. No separate search, no two practices to coordinate.

What it feels like to finally land somewhere that fits.

Leilani

Client

Panic now manageable, after years of struggling

Came with extreme panic and many other issues which are now more under control then before and now manageable. My psychiatrist (Amy) is the absolute best! I have never worked with a better psychiatrist. The staff also is very diligent and friendly.

Felt lighter after the first session

I felt overwhelmed telling my story that I had to remember to breathe calming myself down. Trying to calm myself down with breathing techniques I can't believe it has been a little over an hour but I felt lighter. A weight lifted off me. Thank you Katie for listening.

Jade Fahid, Therapist

When your mind won't slow down, the stress often shows up in your body too. A tight jaw. A restless stomach. Trouble sleeping at night. That makes sense to me. I'm a counselor and a yoga teacher, so I use gentle body-based work and mindfulness along with talking. The goal is for you to feel more at ease. We'll go at a pace that feels right for you.
Portrait of MJ Valentine

MJ Valentine, Therapist

Anxiety that runs in the background for years gets exhausting. Calm can start to feel out of reach. I want to help you find it again. I use EMDR, parts work, and body-based tools. Together we'll get curious about what your anxiety is trying to protect. Then we help it ease, slowly. A lot of people show up worn down and unsure. In time, that steady feeling does come back.
Portrait of Angie Blattenbauer

Angie Blattenbauer, Therapist

If anxiety has you on edge and doubting yourself, I want our work to be a place you can finally exhale. I use CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I also like to bring in creativity and time outside, because healing doesn't have to happen in a plain office. First we build trust, so you feel safe being honest. Real change tends to grow from there.
Portrait of Jenifer Price

Jenifer Price, Therapist

Anxiety often gets loud during change. A move. A divorce. An empty house. A job that no longer fits. I've worked as a counselor for 25 years, and I've sat with many people in those in-between times. We'll use simple tools from CBT and mindfulness to quiet the worry. We'll also look at where it comes from. My goal is for you to feel steadier and more like yourself.
Portrait of Stacy Lanier

Stacy Lanier, Therapist

Many people come to me tired of managing the worry alone. It feels like nothing quite sticks. If that's you, you're not failing. Anxiety is just loud right now. Together we'll slow down and look at what drives it. I use EMDR and parts work so it loses some of its grip. Pace matters to me. We won't move faster than feels right, and you'll always know why.
Portrait of Janine Griggs

Janine Griggs, Therapist

Some people have had anxiety so long it feels like part of who they are. I don't see it that way. I can help you loosen its hold. I've been a clinical social worker for 25 years, and I listen closely first. From there we use mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and acceptance-based skills that fit your real life. My hope is that you find more room to breathe.
Portrait of Anne Rochon

Anne Rochon, Therapist

Anxiety can make even normal days feel like too much, especially when life is shifting. I work mostly with adults and older adults going through those changes. I bring a calm, steady presence. We'll use EMDR, creative tools, and practical CBT skills to quiet the worry. We'll also reconnect you with what matters to you. You're welcome here exactly as you are. No part of your story is off-limits.
Portrait of Aaron Cilwa

Aaron Cilwa, Therapist

When anxiety is loud, it's easy to feel stuck reacting to it instead of living your life. I help adults get traction again, one small choice at a time. My work is grounded in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy, with DBT and CBT skills mixed in. My style is steady and direct, but never harsh. If trauma or substance use is part of your story, that's welcome here too.
Portrait of Leada Taghipour

Leada Taghipour, Therapist

Sometimes anxiety is sharp and clear. Other times it's just a quiet sense that things aren't working like they used to. Either way, I'm glad to sit with you in it. I work with teens, adults, and couples. I use CBT, DBT, and IFS, plus mindfulness and a sense of how stress settles in the body. My goal is to help you feel steadier and closer to the people who matter.
Portrait of Sarah Yeung

Sarah Yeung, Therapist

Anxiety can leave you wound up and quietly worn out at the same time. I bring an unhurried, steady calm to our work. I also truly believe you can feel like yourself again. I use CBT and a whole-person approach. Together we'll find what's fueling the worry and build steadier ground under it. I love helping people see themselves in a kinder way along the way.
Portrait of Trent Landenberger

Trent Landenberger, Therapist

If anxiety has worn you down, I want our work to feel steady and hopeful. Not heavy. I'm a marriage and family therapist. I work with adults, couples, and veterans. I use CBT, solution-focused work, and narrative therapy. Together we'll quiet the worry. We'll help you find steady ground you can stand on. I'll be in your corner the whole way.

Where we see clients

Three Seattle metro offices, plus telehealth across Washington

Most clients meet their anxiety therapist at our Greenlake, Burien or Smokey Point office, or over secure video from anywhere in the state. For the body-based work, the in-person option matters: some clients need a real room and a real couch to feel grounded. Telehealth is the right answer for others, especially the days getting to an office isn't realistic.

FAQs

Clients frequently ask us

Do you actually take my insurance?

We accept Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna. Most Seattle anxiety therapists who advertise body-based work are out-of-pocket only. Our intake team verifies your specific plan during the first call, before your first appointment, so there are no surprise bills. If you're on a different plan or self-pay, we'll let you know on that same call.

How fast can I really be seen?

Most clients see their anxiety therapist within the same week of their intake call. That's not same-day and it's not a marketing line. It's the standard cadence the practice runs at, made possible by having an anxiety-priority team across three offices plus telehealth across Washington.

Is this just CBT? I've already tried that.

CBT is one of several modalities our team uses, not the whole offer. Most clients who land here have already tried CBT and found that the thinking work alone wasn't enough. Our team also uses somatic and nervous-system regulation work, EMDR when there's a trauma flavor underneath the anxiety, and IFS for the parts of you that argue with each other. The intake call is where we figure out which mix fits.

What does body-based anxiety therapy actually look like?

It depends on the therapist and the symptom. With a somatic-trained therapist, the work might include nervous-system tracking, breath and posture work, or gentle attention to where anxiety is showing up in the body that day. With an EMDR-trained therapist, bilateral stimulation can help reprocess what your body is bracing for. None of it requires you to perform calmness or empty your mind. It's the opposite of that.

I have panic attacks at 3am. Can you help with that specifically?

Yes. Panic and 3am wake-ups live in the autonomic nervous system, which is the part of you somatic and polyvagal work is designed to address. The therapy work pairs well with a sleep evaluation and, if helpful, a referral to our psychiatry team for medication options. The intake call can route you to a therapist whose style fits panic and sleep disruption specifically.

Telehealth or in-person, what fits better for anxiety?

Both work. Telehealth covers all of Washington state and is the most popular option for follow-ups, busy schedules and parents working around childcare. In-person is available at our Greenlake, Burien and Smokey Point offices, and matters more for the body-based work some clients prefer. The plan and follow-up cadence are the same either way.

Do you treat panic attacks differently than generalized anxiety?

Yes, in the sense that the modality match changes. Generalized anxiety with a strong rumination loop often responds well to a CBT plus somatic mix. Panic with strong physical symptoms often responds better to somatic and polyvagal work paired with skills training. Anxiety with a trauma flavor underneath often responds best to EMDR. The intake call is where we map your symptoms onto the right starting modality.

What does the first appointment look like?

A real intake with time for what you're working with, what you've already tried and what kind of care fits. You'll leave with a clear sense of which modality your therapist plans to use, the cadence of follow-ups and how the work moves forward. Not a forced retelling, not a worksheet handed to you on the way out.
