Marta Vegdahl-Crowell

I am a Mental Health Counseling Associate in Washington State, and in the process of being licensed as a  Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon. I hold a Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University. My approach to counseling centers on the idea that as we move toward connection, we move toward healing. 

​

I support individuals who are trying to disrupt the patterns of disconnection and isolation in their lives. You may feel as if you cannot show up as your whole self in your relationships, or may find yourself "people pleasing" rather than considering your own needs. You may feel hopeless with the state of the world, and struggle to see yourself as enough. Our work together will emphasize building connection as healing, reducing isolation and building agency and self-compassion. Together, we collaborate to address your concerns in ways that feel meaningful and effective for you.

 

My approach is grounded in relational-cultural theory, informed by feminist and anti-oppression counseling. I work with people navigating relational disruptions, trauma, identity exploration, social anxiety, life transitions, and building self-esteem.

 

Healing does not happen in isolation. As a queer counselor, I believe the healing process must intentionally include your whole self. I look forward to being a part of your journey.
