Somatic IFS Therapy in Seattle and across Washington State
Hannah Martin, LMHC
Welcome
Do you find yourself:
Feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt and insecurity?
Feeling disconnected from your intuition and body?
Struggle to make decisions or commitments for fear of making the “wrong” choice and feeling regret?
Feel anxious, on edge, and exhausted, even right when you wake up?
Feel stuck ruminating or worried about what others will think of you?
Feel like you aren’t good enough or maybe even bad at your core?
It might feel like you’ve tried everything and can’t seem to find a sense of calm or clarity in your daily life. Or perhaps it feels like you’re going in circles, repeating patterns, and can’t find your way out.
It doesn’t have to be this way. I believe that when we slow down to process feelings, we can begin to truly understand you and what your emotions are communicating. I want to help you move from feeling anxious, insecure, or stuck in feelings of insecurity to feeling confident in who you are and more connected to the people and practices you care about.
Hi, I’m Hannah.
I’m here to offer a space where you can explore your experiences with compassion and curiosity.
I’m trained in IFS Level 1 & 2 and Integrative Somatic Parts Work Levels 1 & 2. As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed, somatic Internal Family Systems therapist, I use a combination of mind-body techniques to help you reconnect to yourself and those around you with creativity and confidence.
While we may explore tools to bring support to symptoms in the short-term, my approach to therapy focuses on the root of your struggles by meeting weekly to explore and truly understand your experiences. This is a place you have a chance to slow down and come home to yourself.
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:
-
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is parts work. Parts work looks at the individual aspects of our identity and creates a relationship with these different parts. For example, rather than thinking of your anxiety as all of you, we think of it as a part of you that has a purpose and something to say if we can listen. Through this process, our parts tend to feel more relaxed when we can listen rather than avoid them.
Somatic-Informed means that we also pay attention to what is showing up in your body as well do parts work.
-
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.

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.
