I've never had a massage before and was quite nervous going into it because I was not sure what to expect. I scheduled with Erik (who is awesome!) and who was very calm and made my experience great! He asked what I needed work on, and then assessed it and told me the game plan! He did a great job working on my problem areas. I even had some questions about what muscle tension is and how he works on it and he probably spent about 10 minutes with me after appt explaining it to me. Great experience!

I work with clients holistically, using body-centered strategies, nervous system coping tools, writing and art prompts, and talk therapy. Having a guide can make all the difference in where you end up next, how long it takes to get there, and how kind you are to yourself in the process. It would be an honor to walk alongside you and take part in your journey.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

I…read morecame to him a hot mess, from racing emotions of being a new first-time father to heavy grief from death and cancer. After 5 to 6 months seeing Frewin I got some feet under me. 3 things have been especially symbolic. Manny the dog's office presence and Frewin's availability for walking sessions are two great signs of comfort. And when I started to feel better, wanting to "end" our scheduled sessions, Frewin's openness to finding an end point goal for a therapy regime was a genuine sign that he truly cares about personal growth. In unexpected ways I hope I won't see him again, and I also hope I will. No matter if our paths cross again, our conversations will always replay well in the future when I look back on a tender period of my life that Frewin Hermer gracefully helped me navigate. -Mike Leavitt, Vashon, WA

I was worried that going to therapy would be a lonely process due to past experiences of feeling like I am the human with all the problems and my therapist is someone who is perfect and cant relate. With Frewin, however, you really feel like you are talking with someone who understands the challenges and the aches and pains of life. That deep empathy has really been transforming for me and I recommend Frewin for anyone looking to find help and support through their emotional challenges.

In our sessions she was rude, belittling, condescending and actually managed to somehow create more conflict. Maybe she was good years ago and maybe it's time for her to just retire.

Linda Anderson is a therapist who has a small office she has held at this location for a long time…read more I have been seeing her for almost 2 months now and have to say she is really wonderful. She takes the first couple sessions to establish your history and reasons for coming to her office. She is gentle, but direct and doesn't overwhelm you. I appreciated this as rehashing bad history can be very difficult. She has worked well with me to establish goals and begin to understand things I had been very confused by. I also appreciate her flexibility in scheduling. Her rates are also very reasonable. Another thing is her office is very homey. They even have tea and drinks you can prepare before your session. It helps you feel at home. I have often found therapist offices to be very sterile, but you will not find this here. I encourage you if you need someone to help you work through anxiety or other problems to give Linda Anderson a try!

From the owner: Counseling is the formation of a unique, confidential, objective interpersonal relationship that is…read morerespectful, emotionally safe and fosters an environment in which to explore emotional, mental and behavioral events and concerns, both past and present. The individual seeking counseling wants to overcome obstacles to lead a life that is balanced and fulfilling. People generally strive toward a life that has meaningful relationships, meaningful work, and personal pursuits that renew and enhance a sense of positive self-esteem and life satisfaction. The role of the therapist is to act as a guide, using professional objectivity, knowledge of human psychology and work experience to help clients find answers to problems or paths to more satisfactory lives through their own strengths and getting new ideas and perspectives. The benefit of therapy is achieving these goals. The risk of therapy is dealing with painful experiences of the past and present. That is why therapy differs from the adv
