Welcome!

Owner and Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Hi, I’m Kennedy Sanchez, a licensed therapist in Washington specializing in EMDR for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and the emotional wounds of early relationships.

Like many of the people I work with, I didn’t grow up with the emotional tools I needed. I was raised in a home shaped by divorce, anxiety, and emotional disconnection. I became the over-functioner, the peacemaker, the quiet one holding it all together on the outside while feeling lost on the inside.

It wasn’t until much later through my own healing work that I began to understand the profound impact of attachment wounds, chronic anxiety, and “little t” traumas that never got validated. The things we internalize as children shape how we show up in our adult lives our relationships, our self-worth, and even how safe we feel in our own bodies.

Now, I support clients on a similar journey: high-functioning adults who are finally ready to stop just coping and start healing deeply.

I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as my primary modality because it helps people move past stuck emotional loops, especially when traditional talk therapy hasn’t gone deep enough.

Whether you’re dealing with:

• Panic attacks or chronic overwhelm

• The echoes of a chaotic childhood

• Work burnout or emotional shutdown

• Grief, heartbreak, or identity struggles

• Or a sense that you’ve “done the work” but still feel stuck…

…I provide therapy that’s attuned to your body, brain, and emotional history.

I’m also informed by parts work, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care, so you’ll never be rushed or pushed. Together, we’ll go at your pace.

I am an integrative trauma-informed, attachment based, relational Licensed Mental Health Therapist. In addition to EMDR, my approach incorporates psychoeducation and skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment, Internalized Family Systems, Multicultural and Feminist theories. I utilize a relational, person-centered, collaborative approach centered on your personal healing from relational trauma, anxiety, and emotional neglect.

Deeply informed by:

• Neurodiversity-affirming care (ADHD experience)

• Mind-body approaches (gut-brain connection, inflammation, somatic awareness)

• LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive practice

• Spiritually open frameworks

You don’t have to “perform” in therapy here. You don’t have to be good at self-awareness or regulating your emotions already. This is a space for curiosity, softness, and real, embodied change not perfection.

If you're ready to explore what healing might feel like, I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll see if this feels like a fit.

Healing starts when we feel safe enough to be fully seen.
