Those who know me would not likely be surprised by this. Am I crazy? No, as all of these folks have been kind enough to assure me, I'm not. I just like to have the tools I need to get through life's little twists and turns. Overall, I have had about 200 sessions over the past 30+ years, I usually go for a brief period to help me get through this or that, and this last brief period, I've been seeing the talented Dr. Hawkins. She's thoughtful, smart, perfectly balanced style of listening and chiming in, leading me down the path of understanding but not actually taking me beyond where I'm comfortable. Choosing the right fit for a therapist is key to being able to work through what you're there for, and for me, this is a perfect fit.

I had given up completely on the entire concept of being able to find meaningful and effective help…read morethrough therapy. Historically, I'd come out of months of sessions with past psychologists feeling like I had achieved little more than temporarily effective emotional venting. Yet I was motivated to try therapy one more time, with one more psychologist, only by the insistence of my wife. I'm very grateful that I did. I have now completed just under a year of therapy with Dr Sonnanburg, finally knowing, for the first time, that profoundly meaningful, lasting, fundamental changes have occurred with my thinking, general disposition, self-control, attitude, interpersonal communication skills and much more. And this is not only from my perspective. These changes have also been seen by others who know me best and my wife - the person who knows me better than anyone, demands the best I am capable of, and is my most constructive critic. Dr. Sonnanburg has provided me with an effective toolset for lifelong healthy, constructive daily living, thinking and human relationship-building. I was methodically guided to be able to objectively reflect on and reevaluate long-established patterns of thought, behavior and belief, which had been working against me in life and destroying any chance for lasting peace of mind. Most of these issues, which I had been self-perpetuating daily, I was completely oblivious to until starting therapy. So, I hope you've been lucky enough to read this summarization of my experience, and that you take the same steps that I did to begin the process of ending psychological pain, frustration, interpersonal difficulties, and other problems in your life. Thank you, Dr Sonnanburg.

I highly recommend Dr. Sonnanburg. He has an amazing ability to see the bigger picture and the…read moregoals you're working towards, but listens and helps with all the little details to help you get there.

Alex is LIFE CHANGING. She is seriously the best therapist I have ever had in my life. She just…read moregets it. And she knows how to get you to a better place. My favorite thing about Alex is that she worked a corporate job for many years before becoming a therapist. This is so important because as a young female Seattleite in tech, I struggled with many workplace issues that Alex instantly understood. She knew how I felt, and she knew exactly how bad things could get in the workplace. I still carry Alex's teachings with me, to this day. She had me run through several therapy exercises, including diagramming my core relationships and balancing my emotional and rational sides to achieve the wise mind. Alex gave me the strength to fight for my beliefs while taking care of myself. She gave me a safe space to recover and grow. I'm deeply grateful for Alex, and I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone in the Seattle area!

I could not thank Alex enough for all that she has done for me. Alex is generous, kind, honest and I could not have asked for better friend and life coach.

Her space is comfortable, a haven on the uppermost floor of the office building that houses her office. McKenzie Zajonc is the founder of the Inner Nutritionist™ and she works tirelessly to create a safe haven where women come to feel better. From her site: Inner Nutritionist™ is "a business committed to freeing women who have been hijacked by our diet-minded culture. She helps her clients trade in their food and body struggle for a more meaningful, free, and magnificent life. She is not your typical Nutritionist." It's true. McKenzie is not your typical nutritionist, she holds two master's degrees: one in Nutrition and one Health Psychology from Baster University, the world's largest Naturopathic Medicine school. She firmly believes in HAES, always listens, and never judges, offering in-office appointments and phone consults. I've always felt safe speaking with her. Always. There is street parking with a pay lot on the same block, if you can't find anything easily.
