Hi! I'm Nic Dahlberg (he/him) and I am a LMHC in the state of Washington. I provide therapy services as a contractor for Seagate Psychological Services. How are you? Because in a world where unprecedented events are happening on the daily, it's likely you're feeling a teensy bit (or a lot a bit) overwhelmed, out of control and lost. I help people deal with all sorts of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, oppression related stressors and identity issues. In therapy, I strive to create a casual, warm atmosphere where you'll feel comfortable sharing your honest answer to "so, how's life?" We'll dig deep into the heavy stuff and the challenges you face with the seriousness they deserve while also incorporating a bit of joy and humor along the way. I practice ACT and EMDR as my primary modalities.

I work with people to help them find the solutions and answers to the questions and concerns they bring to therapy. I believe we are the experts in our own experiences, and that you know yourself and your own path of healing and mental health better than anyone else. I am here to provide my expertise and presence as a guide to help you gain a deeper self-understanding, along with the confidence and tools to make the change you want to see in your life.

I am an LMHC with over 10 years of experience. I see clients in-person at my office in Ravenna (near UW/ U Village) or via Telehealth. Shoot me an email and we can set up a free consultation!
