Therapy for People Working in Tech

Do you work with people in tech?

Yes, and it’s a good part of my practice. I’m a licensed therapist and a former developer, and I’m currently building a mental health tech company. That gives me familiar footing with clients in tech and a useful perspective on work stress, burnout, identity, and navigating change.

Do I have to explain my job to you?

No. You can say “I’m on call this week” or “my manager left and my project got reorged,” and we can go straight to what it’s doing to you. No translating, no explaining the org chart, no polite nodding from across the room.

That sounds like a small thing. In practice it’s most of the first month of therapy that you get back.

What do people in tech usually come in with?

Burnout that rest doesn’t fix. Performance-review anxiety that starts weeks out. A sense that your worth is whatever you shipped this quarter. Layoffs, or waiting to find out. Comp that looks good on paper while the job is quietly costing you something.

Underneath most of it is the same thing: work became the main measure of whether you’re doing okay, and that measure keeps moving. Therapy is somewhere to set it down and look at it.

I was laid off, or I think I’m about to be.

This has been a lot of people’s last few years, and being good at your job never protected anyone from it. Whether it already happened or you’re watching it come, there’s a place to work on it: see therapy for layoffs and job loss and the financial anxiety that usually arrives with it.

Where in Washington do you work with people?

Anywhere in the state. Sessions are held over secure telehealth, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, or working remote from somewhere quieter. No commute, no waiting room, and a session fits in a normal calendar block. See online therapy in Washington for how the telehealth side works.

What does it cost?

Washington sessions are $250 for 50 minutes, paid at the time of session. I can provide a superbill if you have out-of-network benefits. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available - they aren’t always open, but it costs nothing to ask. Full details are on the fees page.

What else do you help with?

I work with adults on anxiety, depression, relationships and dating, ADHD, autism, and life transitions. Plenty of what comes up in tech work overlaps with all of it, and we don’t have to keep the conversation inside work just because that’s where it started.

All services are provided via secure telehealth. I work with adults located in California, Florida, and Washington.

Insurance accepted in California and Florida; Washington is private pay.
