Individual therapy in-person in Seattle, WA and online across Washington

I integrate somatic and physiological approaches to help you build greater capacity to respond to yourself and your life with clarity, resilience, and ease.

Courtney Palmer, LMHCA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA). I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from Seattle University and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Behavioral Science from Seattle Central College. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing®, a modality that aligns with my belief in the body’s innate ability to heal.

I was born and raised in Michigan but have proudly called Seattle home for the past 20 years. During my time in school, I worked with New Beginnings as a Domestic Violence Advocate—a role that deepened my passion for supporting survivors as they rebuild their lives.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m a dedicated yoga teacher and lifelong student. The practice of yoga played a transformative role in my own journey and ultimately led me to the work I do today. I also have a deep love for dance—you’ll often find me moving to loud music in safe, joyful spaces surrounded by incredible people most weekends.

I thrive on connection, authenticity, and new experiences. I love walking alongside others on their path toward healing and growth. I have a deep respect for those who choose the sacred journey of healing. It is not often easy, but it is always worth it.
