Dr. Jacob Santhouse
When life leaves you feeling struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and feeling like you are simply not enough – even just existing can feel like an impossible task. My goal is to give you a space to be accepted as you are and walk with you through the struggle and into a place of confidently knowing you are enough.
​
My counseling style is relational and relaxed. I aim to create a safe space where you can be vulnerable without fearing judgment. For this approach, I use a blend of Narrative and Person-Centered theories. These two theories form a strategy to honor, respect, and empower you. Though it is focused on the positive, this approach also believes that joy and suffering are essential parts of life.

Dr. LaToya Flowers-Roe
Couple and family relationships can be hard work – the source of great joy and great pain. I specialize in couple and family counseling. I primarily work with clients regarding issues such as communication, infidelity, parenting, child and adolescent behavior, depression, anxiety, and daily life stress.
I see clients individually, as couples, and/or as families.
My focus is on strengthening couple and familial bonds, repairing relationship wounds, and breaking destructive generational patterns of interaction. I do so by using a positive, brief therapeutic approach to provide long-lasting change as soon as possible. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment for my clients by expressing genuine warmth, care, and concern. I wholeheartedly believe my clients can and will accomplish their therapeutic goals.
​
Currently, I split my time between working in private practice and working as an assistant clinical professor at Seattle University. As a result, my availability for sessions during the academic year tends to be limited to Wednesday evenings and on Sundays. However, I am available to clients for consultation throughout the week.
