Online psychotherapy in Washington State
You’ve tried to make sense of it — talked it through, journaled, analyzed, and yet your body still feels anxious, frozen or stuck in patterns you can’t explain. Sometimes pain lives in places words can’t reach. I offer EMDR, parts work and somatic therapy for people who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or like they’ve tried everything and still don’t feel like themselves. These bottom-up approaches start with the body, where trauma lives, to support lasting change, so you can feel safe, present, and fully alive again.

Trauma and PTSD
Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it can linger in the body, the nervous system, and how we experience the world. If you feel constantly on edge, emotionally numb, or stuck in cycles of fear or avoidance, you’re not alone. EMDR and somatic therapy can help you process traumatic memories, restore a sense of safety, and reconnect with your body, your relationships, and your sense of self.

Identity, belonging and worth
Helping individuals struggling with identity formation, especially those who feel caught between worlds. As someone multicultural myself, I understand what it’s like to live in the in between. That could look like between cultures, races, genders, sexualities, belief systems or nationalities. I offer a space to explore identity, self-worth, imposter syndrome, and belonging.

Attachment and relationship difficulties
I support individuals with anxious or avoidant attachment patterns—those who long for closeness but fear it, or push others away while craving connection. Whether you’re struggling in romantic relationships, friendships, or feeling stuck in old relational dynamics, therapy can help you build safer, more fulfilling connections.

Overwhelmed and burnout
You show up for the world, but feel distant from yourself and overwhelmed. I help working professionals, college students, and parents who appear outwardly successful but feel emotionally overstimulated, stressed, anxious, blocked, shut down or frozen inside. In therapy, we create space to feel again—safely, slowly, and with compassion.

Anxiety and Social Anxiety
Anxiety can make it hard to feel safe in your own body or show up fully in your life. Whether it's racing thoughts, chronic worry, or fear of being judged, these patterns are often rooted in deeper emotional experiences. Together, we'll work gently with your nervous system to regulate stress, process underlying triggers, and build confidence in how you relate to yourself and others.

MICHELLE PERRIER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST | MA, LMHCA
Being a human is hard and we’re not meant to do it alone. I am a relational therapist, meaning I believe healing happens in connection and relationships. I show up as a real person in the room with you, not just a “blank slate” therapist, because I believe the human connection we build is part of what makes healing possible. I’m committed to creating a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported, and I’ll meet you where you are. I am trained in EMDR, a powerful tool that heals the root vs. just the symptoms. My own journey through trauma, identity, and healing led me to this work. Being half Korean has deeply influenced how I understand the complexity of identity — and the feeling of being “in between.” I am passionate about psychology, social justice, and creating spaces where healing can ripple into communities. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that growth is always possible. It would be my honor to walk beside you on your healing journey. Learn more about me.
what is EMDR?
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. It is based on the premise that the mind can heal from psychological trauma much like the body heals from physical injury.
During EMDR therapy, a trained therapist helps clients process distressing memories by using bilateral stimulation, which often involves eye movements. This method allows individuals to reprocess traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional charge and helping.
“The past affects the present even without being aware of it.”
