Seattle Trauma Counseling in Kirkland, WA provides advanced somatic trauma therapy, EMDR therapy, and couples therapy to help individuals and partners heal from complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, and relational wounds through evidence-based, body-centered approaches.
-- Trauma therapy at Seattle Trauma Counseling is built on decades of clinical research demonstrating that the body stores traumatic memories in ways that traditional talk therapy alone cannot resolve. The practice's clinicians use somatic psychology to address the physiological roots of anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociation, helping clients move from chronic states of fight-or-flight into lasting safety and self-regulation. Individuals and couples seeking effective trauma therapy in the Seattle area benefit from a deeply personalized process shaped by each client's history, attachment style, and therapeutic goals.

Founded in 2015 and led by Robert Espiau, LMHC, a clinician with more than 30 years of experience across eight countries, Seattle Trauma Counseling supports clients navigating PTSD and complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, religious and attachment trauma, relational injuries, and the deep emotional disconnection that keeps individuals and couples feeling isolated and stuck. The practice offers both in-person sessions in Kirkland, WA, and secure online counseling throughout Washington State.
"If we could solve our problems just by thinking about them, most of us would be problem-free, since we often find ourselves obsessing about them," said Robert Espiau of Seattle Trauma Counseling. "Our approach goes beyond talk therapy to work directly with the body's nervous system, helping clients release the burdens trauma has left behind and reconnect with a felt sense of safety and wholeness."
Seattle Trauma Counseling has developed particular depth in treating religious trauma, an area of specialization that reflects the practice's cross-cultural foundation in both western and eastern psychology. Religious trauma can leave individuals struggling with pervasive fear, shame, identity confusion, and a fractured sense of trust in themselves and others. For many, the wounds inflicted by spiritually abusive environments are deeply embedded in the nervous system, making body-centered approaches like CIMBS, IFS, and somatic psychotherapy especially effective. The practice provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can untangle the psychological harm of religious abuse without the personal projections of the therapist upon them, helping them to find meaning on their own terms.
As demand grows for EMDR therapy in Seattle, WA, Seattle Trauma Counseling continues to serve clients committed to the deep work that lasting healing requires. The practice specializes in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Lifespan Integration, CIMBS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, allowing clinicians to meet each client exactly where they are.
Couples therapy at Seattle Trauma Counseling addresses the relational wounds that trauma creates between partners, helping them rebuild trust, repair attachment injuries, and develop healthier patterns of connection. The practice's team of Licensed Mental Health Counselors bring specialized training in somatic and trauma-informed approaches to both individual and relationship work. All therapists offer a complimentary first session so prospective clients can determine whether the therapeutic relationship feels safe and supportive before committing to ongoing care.
Individuals and couples across Seattle and greater Washington seeking professional trauma therapy, EMDR therapy, and couples counseling services are encouraged to contact Seattle Trauma Counseling to schedule a free consultation.
