Zarah Kushner

I'm currently accepting new clients for focused and collaborative psychotherapy to bring about meaningful change. Therapy may include approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to move towards peace with your thoughts and feelings, be able to be here now, get clarity around your direction and make plan and be supported to move towards it, gentle adaptations of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and narrative-like Lifespan Integration for healing from difficult or traumatic experiences and parts work drawing on Ego State Therapy approaches to be able to tend to wounded aspects of self and lead from your core self. If desired, I can also provide medication management alongside therapy. Generally, I also bring in anti-inflammatory approaches including nutrition (additive, not restrictive), joyful movement/effortful recreation, nature connection, sleep support, social/community connectedness and mindfulness. ​My approach to care is weight neutral and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I believe in racial and disability justice. With reverence, I acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, past, present and future.
