Somatic IFS Therapy in Seattle and across Washington State

Learn to trust yourself, embrace your value, and experience the peace and clarity you've been seeking.

Hannah Martin, LMHC

Welcome

Do you find yourself:

Feeling disconnected from your intuition or body?

Repeating patterns in romantic relationships and friendships?

Feeling stuck or hopeless?

Feeling anxious and tired of people-pleasing?

It might feel like other people have it all “figured it out” somehow or that things will never change.

It doesn’t have to be this way. I believe that when we slow down to  explore what’s happening  beneath the surface, we can begin to truly understand you and your experiences. I want to help you move from feeling stuck, disconnected, or not enough to experiencing the belonging, authenticity, freedom, and clarity that is already within you.

Hi, I’m Hannah.

I’m here to offer a space where you can unpack your experiences and be met with compassion and kindness. The world moves fast and this a place you have a chance to slow down and be yourself.

As a trauma-informed Internal Family Systems therapist, I use a combination of mind-body techniques to help you reconnect with your inner voice, creativity, and confidence.

Have you tried therapy before, but are still feeling stuck?

Many clients come to me after other therapies haven’t brought lasting change. If you’re tired of relying on temporary coping mechanisms or simply trying to change your emotions and thoughts instead of truly understanding them, you’ve come to the right place.

I’m trained in Internal Family Systems (Levels 1 & 2) and Integrative Somatic Parts Work (Levels 1 & 2), focusing on the root of your struggles rather than just surface-level solutions. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to chat. Schedule a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Specialties:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches healing with the belief that we are made up of many “parts” that express themselves in emotion, physical sensation in the body, thoughts, or patterns of behavior. When we are out of connection with these parts of us, it can often feel like we are reacting to the world in ways that may actually go against our true needs and desires.

    By getting in touch with these parts of us we can resolve inner conflicts, heal emotional injuries from the past, find relief and clarity, and experience greater emotional freedom. I use somatic techniques to help you deepen your relationship to different parts of you.

  • While not always directly linked, many people with anxiety feel a strong pressure to keep others happy, often at the cost of their own well-being. This can create a cycle where you're constantly focused on others’ needs, leading to more stress and less time for yourself.

    Many people with anxiety also experience perfectionistic tendencies. It can be difficult to let go of control and feel vulnerable. I help clients move from needing to get it right all the time to experiencing a greater sense of freedom.

    Whether your anxiety connects to people-pleasing or perfectionism or something else, I will guide you in your journey to find more peace.

  • I offer walk-and-talk therapy at Golden Gardens year-round. Through gentle movement and guided reflection in the outdoors, you will feel more calm and support in exploring your internal world.

How to Begin

  • Step 1: Schedule a consultation

    Fill out my contact form to schedule a free consultation. This is a time for us to get to know each other and discuss what you’d like to explore in therapy. I’ll share how I work, and together we’ll determine if it feels like a good fit. If so, we’ll schedule your initial session.

  • Step 2: Dive deeper with weekly sessions

    We’ll meet weekly to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore whatever is on your mind. I’ll meet you where you’re at and help bring clarity to areas you feel stuck or need support. I’ll also check in periodically to ensure the process feels aligned with your goals.

  • Step 3: Collaborative work for lasting change

    Together, we’ll work towards the relief and confidence you’ve been seeking. It takes courage to seek help and embrace change—and I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

  • “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

    Albert Camus, The Stranger

  • “...and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do ― determined to save the only life that you could save.”

    Mary Oliver, The Journey

  • “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
