Psychotherapy · Ballard, Seattle
Therapy offers a unique opportunity to slow down and consider your difficulties in a calm, collaborative space. I work with individuals to create a safe environment where we can chart a path forward during hard times, get to the root of long-term challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward an overall more satisfying life.
I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy to adolescents and adults in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, and by telehealth throughout Washington State.
ABOUT ME
Justin Dahlquist, MAEd, LMHCA
I am a licensed mental health counselor associate providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, as well as by telehealth throughout Washington State.
I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Washington and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Seattle University.
I have clinical experience working with a diverse range of clients, including those who have experiences of complex trauma, anxiety, difficulties with self-esteem, uncertainties about identity or sense-of-self, ongoing relationship problems, and autistic traits.
I also enjoy and have experience working with LGBTQ adolescents and adults.
MY APPROACH
Approach
My guiding theoretical perspective is psychodynamic, meaning I work in a depth and insight-oriented way. I follow my clients with a calm and curious attitude, listening closely and attuning to their experience while collaborating with them to reflect on themselves and whatever is troubling them.
Together, we will pursue answers to difficult problems by identifying patterns, making sense of complicated feelings, and exploring how past experiences shape present situations.
We will likely notice familiar patterns that repeat in your life or relationships, become more aware of emotions that are difficult to understand or tolerate, and consider the ways, for better or worse, that you have learned to protect yourself from painful experiences.
In the process, we will uncover important insights about who you are, and we will consider how you could take steps toward a more meaningful, satisfying life.
