You don’t have to do this alone.
Kendall Matthews
Individual and Couples Therapist
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 Couples and Family Therapist 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 (EFT), 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.
I am particularly passionate about working with couples and intimate partnerships, helping partners navigate conflict, rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy, and strengthen their bond during demanding life stages.
At the core of my work is a belief in the resiliency of human connection. With curiosity, warmth, and respect, I aim to create a space where relationships can soften, patterns can shift, and new ways of relating can emerge, both with others 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…
I recharge with yoga, a great book, and all the cozy vibes; warm drinks, soft blankets, and slow evenings.
Comfort and connection are kind of my thing, both in and out of the therapy room.
