Sho Glick

Hi! I’m Sho (they/them). I am a student intern pursuing my master’s in clinical mental health counseling at City University of Seattle. I believe that whatever is alive for you sets the tone of the session. Fears and anxiety can be held with empathy and reverence. Dreams, values, and identities can be explored with curiosity. Therapy is a space to move towards authenticity, and any thoughts or feelings that come up are welcome. Crying and laughter each have their place.  I use an integrative person-centered approach, drawing on several clinical theories. Your comfort level and interest determine the approach for exploration and healing: talking, making art, role-play, sharing music, or even just sitting quietly while breathing in and out are all equally valid options. I believe that the story we tell about ourselves is powerful and that it deeply impacts our wellbeing when narratives fueled by others’ judgements or criticisms tell that story instead. Trauma can disconnect us from who we are and limit access to our hopes, dreams, and values. In therapy, you can explore things like how the past unconsciously influences the present or how your perception of safety impacts your ability to respond rather than react. Perhaps, most importantly, you can explore your relationship to your authentic self and discover who you are and who you want to be. In addition to talk therapy, I can offer EMDR, somatic therapy, and creative arts therapy.
