Sally Rye-Gomes

Are you ready to be happy, content and in love with yourself? I am here to help you achieve your goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, of which is the study of human movement (sports medicine) from the University of Washington. I also have a Masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, WA. My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I’m passionate about providing quality mental health care to my clients.

Since many clients feel a sense of "disloyalty" when seeking help for family issues, include a line like: "Seeking support isn't about being 'disloyal'—it's about being healthy." Do you feel like you’re "managing" your parent instead of having a relationship with them? Body: For many adult children of narcissistic parents, every phone call feels like a tactical mission. You’re constantly scanning for "mood shifts," choosing your words with extreme caution, and dealing with a hangover of guilt long after the conversation ends. It’s exhausting to be the only one trying to keep the peace. I help clients move out of "survival mode" and into a place of emotional autonomy.

My approach to treatment is typically eclectic, I do not have a specific methodology, because I feel clients are multifaceted and several modalities may be required. My key component is trust, after establishing trust in the therapeutic relationship, challenging beliefs and behaviors evolve organically.

This first session will be the initial assessment, so that I can get to know you and you can begin to feel comfortable and trust that we can achieve our goals together. In our first session, I will introduce myself and you'll have the opportunity to tell me all about yourself. I won't judge. Then, I will help you explore healing modalities. This exploration will involve looking at the different types of options that are available, but also looking at which ones would fit your personality and the goals you've set for yourself.
