Shoutout to our neighbor Alexis at Coven Salon for showing us these cards she found at Wing Luke Museum.

Alexis is downstairs from us and is the kind of person who makes a building feel like a community. She turned us on to these neighborhood appreciation cards designed by the incredibly talented artist Risa Iwasaki Culbertson/

They're simple invitations to do something we therapists talk about all the time, which is to connect with others.

Notice the people around you and tell them the great things about them that you notice.

We'll be highlighting a few more of these in the weeks ahead. Thanks again, Risa and Alexis!

If you think of your brain as a computer made up of billions of bits of code, traumatic experiences can be entered as memories that don't get coded correctly. New information comes in, but it doesn't change the code. That's where EMDR therapy can help.

EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing—was developed to treat PTSD, but it's not just for acute crises. It's a proven therapy for trauma, anxiety disorders and depression.

Here's how it works: You conjure an image of the worst part of a traumatic event and notice how it feels in your body while engaging in bilateral stimulation—like moving your eyes back and forth, tapping your hands on your shoulders, or even walking.

You've probably experienced bilateral stimulation in your regular life. "Walking is bilateral stimulation," says Becka Shaw, one of our EMDR-trained therapists. "It supports letting feelings move through so you can think more clearly."

Hi there, I’m Nicole Sadow-Hasenberg. When I'm not in session, you'll find me creating mosaic or mixed media art, practicing yoga, getting lost in a good novel, or heading to the mountains. I adore my two adult kids (ages 21 and 24). I had a long career in public health and also enjoyed working as a doula earlier in my life, loving every minute of it.

All my life experiences shape how I show up as a therapist. For example, in the fall of 2025, I hiked 140 miles of the Camino de Santiago. As a therapist, I can provide “Walk and Talk” sessions.

I work with people ages 5 and older. My approach is collaborative, somatic and empowering. I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We’ll work together to find whatever feels most useful during our ongoing therapy to help you find your unique path.

I focus on life transitions, identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and ADHD. Central to my work is the belief that what surrounds us shapes us. When we better understand ourselves within our relationships and our world, we can feel better and make different choices.

I'm now accepting new clients. https://pugetpsychotherapy.com/team/nicole-sadow-hasenberg/

Your attachment style isn't your horoscope.

Our Seattle therapists Kelsie Coles and Carrie McColloch are here to set the record straight. Here's what they want you to know:

➡️ Attachment styles can CHANGE over time
➡️ They're not an excuse for behavior
➡️ You might show different styles in different relationships
➡️ The goal isn't perfection—it's awareness.

Whether you're anxious, avoidant or secure, understanding your patterns is just the beginning. Then learn to create safety and connection in your relationships.

Hi I’m Haley Boscolo.

In my work with couples and individuals, I consider the particulars of each situation within the context of your family, community and culture. Together, we collaborate on a path toward change as directed by our target to improve the overall health of your relationships.

Along with training in the emotionally focused method of couples counseling (EFT), I also draw on attachment theory and the Gottman Method. EFT is an experiential therapy that focuses on finding the underlying needs contributing to dissatisfaction in relationships.

When I’m not in the office, I’m snuggling with my cat or adventuring in the outdoors doing wind sports and snow sports.

If you are looking to overcome a communication rut and get back on the same team with your partner, I am here to help!

Body doubling might sound like sci-fi, but it's one of the most effective ADHD strategies out there.

It's basically grown-up parallel play that creates accountability. Having someone present in person or virtually helps neurodivergent people start tasks, stay focused and actually finish things.

“The double provides a shared attention field,” said Tim Richardson, a psychiatrist at PSP who works extensively with ADHD clients. “The ADHD brain stays anchored to the task by sensing another person’s attention and presence.”

"It's the built-in accountability of knowing someone will see you doing this, so you better do it," says one Seattle student who uses the technique.

Our therapists at Puget Sound Psychotherapy recommend it because the ADHD brain often needs external structure. The other person creates a "shared attention field" that keeps you anchored without micromanaging.

Body doubling might look like: ✨ Study sessions with a friend ✨ Virtual coworking on Zoom ✨ Coffee shop work dates ✨ Someone sitting with you while you tackle chores

Why it works: It engages your brain's social networks, provides gentle accountability, and helps reduce perfectionism anxiety. Good enough is better than perfect. 💙

Try Focusmate, Flown, or body doubling Discord servers if you need a virtual partner.

Curious about ADHD support in Seattle? We're here to help.

January isn't just about fresh starts. It’s also known as "divorce month." After the holidays end, many people stop white-knuckling it through gatherings and start asking hard questions about their relationships. But you should know it’s best not to wait until things feel desperate to reach out for support.

"The beginning of the year is a good time to review your goals," says our therapist Haley Boscolo. "Don't wait until issues have been festering for a long time, because it's harder to calm down after years of hurt.”

Influencing millions of people worldwide before his death in 2022, Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist is one of the primary people who brought the concept of mindfulness to a Western audience. This quote reflects his core teaching. To be fully present and aware of the beauty around us can counteract the negativity and suffering we also see in the world.

Here’s a reminder from our pets. Don't let your limitations hold you back from pursuing what you want. For example, Tig is only about 12 pounds, but she loves to play with the big dogs.
