You are welcomed here, just as you are

First, take a moment to thank yourself for looking for a therapist. You are probably looking for a space where you can explore, question, and heal—a space where you will feel held. I will hold that space for you and whoever else is in the therapy room with tenderness, warmth, and compassion. My office is a space where judgement is left at the door and you can bring your full, messy, and authentic self into the space.

Sessions: In-person at my office in Seattle (1126 34th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122) or online on a secure platform

Fees: $180 per 50-minute session and insurance is not accepted

my approach

My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, and relational. I am sex positive and LGBQTIA+ affirming. I am holistic and intersectional in my approach, so I strive to be trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally attuned. Clients have described me as organized, funny, and direct. I strive to be a human when working with people—bringing curiosity and kindness into the room for every session. I am a human first, so I will show up as myself in the room with you, whether laughing or tearing up…I will hold space for you through it all.

Who do I work with?

Two of my biggest strengths as a therapist are my training as a relational therapist and a sex therapist. The relational training means I love working from a systemic lens, whether within a family or a relationship or even within our own self. The sex therapist training means that I have 160 hours in training to specialize in any and all topics relating to sex and sexuality.

about audrey hart

My middle name is Hart, so it is no coincidence that I have spent my life being drawn to heartfelt conversations with people.

I am from the PNW and grew up playing soccer and being outside. I moved across the country to go to college in Maine where I studied geology, but my real passion was teaching sexuality education on my college campus.

I am drawn to sexuality because it is largely a taboo topic in society and I want to be part of the wave de-stigmatizing sexuality because it is an essential aspect of the human experience.

My professional work has included lots of wilderness therapy guiding, outdoor education, and outdoor trip leading—read more about my wilderness/outdoor experiences here!

I am a white, cis-woman who is in a heterosexual relationship. Identity is a big part of the work I do with clients, so if you’d like any referrals for therapists with different identities, then please let me know and I will try my best to pass along referrals.

I live with my partner in Seattle along with our dog. I love backpacking year-round, listening to storytelling podcasts, reading a variety of books, and jumping in the ocean.

Meet kevin

Kevin is my twenty-pound therapy dog! He loves cuddling with clients in-session or he can always sit over on my chair. When Kevin isn’t at the office, he enjoys playing fetch and swimming! I believe animals can provide a lot of comfort in sessions.

 
 

Good Faith estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Clients who do not have insurance or are choosing to not use insurance will receive an estimate of psychotherapy services. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

I do not take insurance OR provide superbills.
