PTSD & Trauma Therapy in Seattle

Why does every day feel like checking off another box?

You go through the motions of showing up for work, family and friendships, and everyday living, but you don't think you are doing it well.

Getting through life without melting down, shutting down, or just wanting to crawl into a deep hole feels impossible. You want to live life like a "normal" adult, but inside, you don't feel normal.

Your upbringing was ok . . .

Somebody almost always cared for your basic needs - at least that is what you remember. Well, sometimes you have big holes in your memory. But deep down, something doesn't feel right and hasn't felt right your whole life.

You always feel like a bother—like you should fade into the background and stop being a burden. It's so hard to trust others and to let them in. A part of you feels alone in life even though you have people. 

You wonder if this is all there is?

You aren't sure what you need, but in your heart, you don't want to spend the next several decades feeling like this. You've lived
long enough to know your life isn't going to shift and change on its own.

I'm Diane Dempcy, a trauma therapist in Seattle.

I help adults heal the hidden wounds that leave them feeling disconnected, numb, overwhelmed, and anxious.

About Trauma Therapy in Seattle

I’m passionate about helping people heal from the core wounds that leave them feeling alone and stuck.  I use evidenced-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness.  At the heart of my therapy is a safe and trusting space so you can do your important healing work.

In our time together you will find me direct and supportive in my observations, skilled at getting to the heart of the matter, and effective in helping you to make the changes you need. 

I want you to lead the life you envision - to be excited about your life.
