Counselors by Location

Epiphany Counseling Services
Amanda Franklin  M.Ed. LMHC  (206) 324-0721
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
1805 38th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122
Niche Specialty©: Couple or Marriage Counseling, whether legally married or not, straight or same-sex, recently met or together for decades.
Location: My office is run out of Epiphany Episcopal Church at the corner of 38th and Denny in Madrona a half mile from the Arboretum
General Practice Area: I work with individuals (both adults and children), couples (straight and same-sex), and families (adults, children, and elders). My areas of interest include: marital/couples therapy; parenting questions, and the support of new parents; adoption, foster care, family blending; recovery from sexual abuse, for either children or adults; religious and spiritual questioning (clients will find me supportive, but not directive in this area); grief, loss, and survivors of a loved one's suicide; and the development of young women. For a longer description of my work and interests, as well as a (terrible!) picture, please see my website.   Because I work out of a church which does not charge me rent, I am able to see a few clients on a sliding scale basis, including those clients who can't usually manage to see a private clinician. My work hours are Monday-Thursday, 4:00-9:00 pm, so I can nearly always accommodate a client who needs an evening appointment.

Deb Kahn  M.S.W. LICSW  (206) 919-5116

I am especially attuned to the challenges women experience in moving through all stages of life while balancing competing needs and adapting to shifting roles. My approach is eclectic and flexible and draws on cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), humanistic theory, mindfulness and positive psychology. Therapy combines talking with activities designed to experiment with changing behaviors, patterns or beliefs that the client finds unsatisfactory, and builds on client strengths. Clients can expect to develop new insights and skills and improved functioning as they move toward identified goals. The course and duration of treatment is collaboratively determined and evaluated and clients are always encouraged to own the process, ask questions and give feedback. I bring warmth and practicality to the therapy hour, as well as many years of professional and life experience. [ Email Deb Kahn ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]

Kim Richan  MSW LSWAIC MHP  (206) 708-4622
Counselor
2915 E Madison #306, Seattle, WA 98112
General Practice Area: Are you sure there is more to life but don't know how to find it? Maybe you are so anxious in social situations you feel like you are missing out on your own life. Or maybe there is sadness, anger or anxiety you feel but don't understand. Whatever the reason, you've made the decision to go to therapy and don't know where to start. How about this - come in for a free consult session. It's the best way to see if we can work together on your problems and find solutions. Research shows that above anything, the relationship you have with your therapist is the most important element in successful therapy. If it feels like we are a good match, great, we'll schedule an appointment. We all have places in our lives where we feel stuck, or sad, anxious, or angry. The work I do with people is about finding out what is underneath that stuck feeling or the sadness, the anger or anxiety. When we look deeply at where our feelings come from, we can make some surprising discoveries about the origins of our feelings. In therapy I work with people on learning how to navigate past these feelings and on to greater feelings of success, happiness and well-being. For me, therapy is primarily a process of discovery and change. While permanent change can take some time, when we begin our work, I will share with you tools and coping skills you can use immediately to reduce some of your most distressing symptoms. I look forward to hearing form you. [ Email Kim Richan ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]

I also use a Client-Centered approach believing an individual has the strength within for their own empowerment. You are an expert in your own life. I work with my clients to help them identify their strengths and implement the changes they desire.
