Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I completed my Masters thesis as “Discrimination of BDSM Identified Individuals in a Therepeutic Setting.” I am kink friendly, kink aware, and open-minded. If you are looking for a therapist who will treat YOU and not your lifestyle, you’ve come to the right place!

The human mind is an amazing thing! Not so long ago, scientists and other medical experts believed that once damaged, the brain could not heal. We now know that is not true. We also have a better understanding of how the brain stores information, including past trauma, and how it is able to heal itself. The mind and body are intrinsically connected. Traumatic injury to the body and psyche are stored in the mind, and if the trauma is unprocessed, the mind replays the trauma over and over again, expecting or hoping for a new result.

I am experienced in helping clients to process sexual issues, trauma, PTSD, and personality disorders. I am certified in EMDR, which engages the brain’s hippocampus where trauma is processed. It sometimes results in shorter therapy. Overall, I utilize an eclectic approach to help you become a stronger, healthier you. - Does online consultation

I am Krista Frank and I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker under the supervision of Pam Shaffer LMFT #91321. I provide online therapy to individuals, couples, and other dyadic formations in a non-judgmental environment. I am CNM/ENM/Poly, LGBTQIA+, kink, and sex work affirming as well as MAP aware, sex-positive and I work with an intersectional lens. My specialties include working with neurodiverse clients, particularly those in the ADHD community. My experience working with familial crisis intervention, domestic violence, and the juvenile justice system has given me a trauma-informed therapeutic style that I bring into our work together.

As a therapist, I believe that you, the client, are the best narrator of your own story. My goal is to collaborate with you when life is feeling overwhelming, when your anxiety, depression, or past traumas are impacting your current life, when you’re feeling burn-out, when you’re going through a significant life transition, or when you want to make a big change. Together we can troubleshoot relationship challenges and create a personalized relationship structure whether it is monogamous, non-monogamous, or anything in-between. I love working with clients to find their voice and tell their story in their own words while providing a space for them to address the issues that matter most to them.

I help people who feel used, abused, neglected, or rejected transform from surviving to thriving. My clients often feel such things due to experiencing abuse, having been bullied, or feeling different. I blend talk therapy, drama therapy, and EMDR therapy to help people get unstuck. I don’t take insurance but do offer sliding scale when appropriate.

I am a licensed mental health counselor serving clients in Seattle, WA. I have private practice hours in an easy-to-find office on South Capitol Hill. My specialty is working with what I like to call sex and gender outlaws. This is my way of affectionately describing those of us who live on the fringes of gender and sexuality, in whatever ways we might do so (such as kinky/poly/queer/gender variant/sex industry/etc). I am ready and eager to work with my clients on the issues they present, whether they are directly related to sex and/or gender or not.

As a practicing Buddhist and a Gestalt therapist, I am very interested in the here and now. How are you stopping yourself from manifesting a fully functional and fulfilling life? When we restrict our awareness, we limit our possibilities for growth and a meaningful existence. I enjoy working with the taboo, the forbidden. Many of my clients live alternative lives. You are who you are. The work, as I see it, is to accept who you are and get on with enjoying yourself and your life.

For many years, I have worked in the field of family law, counseling hundreds of clients through divorce, custody battles and domestic violence. These experiences, and many others, led me to become a therapist.
