You don’t have to do this alone.
I provide therapy for couples and individuals in Seattle, Washington who are navigating relationship challenges, disconnection, or major life changes.
Kendall Matthews
Marriage and Family Therapist Associate
I’m Kendall,
the founder and therapist behind this practice. I’m a relational therapist at heart, deeply interested in how our closest relationships shape not only how we love others, but how we experience ourselves.
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and I help busy people.Those juggling careers, kids, or life’s nonstop demands, navigate self-discovery, growth, and connection. I work with individuals and couples, offering sessions in Seattle and virtually across Washington.
Life is messy, joyful, heartbreaking, and beautiful, often all at once. Therapy is a space to make sense of it, understand yourself and your relationships, and figure out how you want to move forward.
Clients often come to me when they’re tired of tiptoeing around what’s hard. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and clear direction, helping you slow down, untangle patterns, and stay connected to what matters, even when emotions run high.
I hold a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University, where I pursued advanced training to support individuals, couples, and families with depth and intention. My work is grounded in evidence-based, attachment-focused approaches, and I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT), parts work, somatic practices, and mindfulness to meet clients where they are. I tailor our work together to your unique needs, goals, and relational patterns, especially during seasons of stress, transition, or disconnection. Therapy is a living practice. I also invest in continuing education because the field evolves — and I want to grow alongside it, so I can show up better for my clients.
At the core of my work is a belief that connection is resilient — even when it doesn't feel like it. I bring curiosity, warmth, and respect to create a space where things can soften, patterns can shift, and new ways of relating can show up, both with the people you care about and within yourself.

What Supports My Work
What It's Like to Sit With Me
Collaborative, not lecture-y.
We figure things out together.Warm and direct.
Supportive, but I’ll also name what I’m noticing.Curious about patterns.
We look beyond the surface of the problem.Understanding over blame.
Less “who’s right,” more “what’s really going on.”Serious when it needs to be, light when it can be.
Therapy can hold both.A space to be real.
Honest conversations without judgment.
Outside the Office…
Outside the therapy room, you'll find me chasing two young kids, herding two cats, and depending on the time of day, hunting down the perfect cup of coffee or charcuterie board. I love slow mornings, good books, and anything cozy. Creating spaces that feel warm and safe is what I do, both at home and in session.
