Petra Armstrong
LMHCA
Hi, my name is Petra, and I am a mental health counselor associate with a Master of Arts in Counseling from City University of Seattle. I am committed to providing a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space, because every person deserves to feel listened to and supported. I approach counseling from a person-centered lens based on genuineness and unconditional positive regard. I also use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and narrative therapy to help clients make positive changes, because the stories that people have about their lives can influence their identity, relationships, and behavior. I believe that counseling can help clients access their valuable strengths and skills to improve their well-being.
In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar, reading, hiking, running, and spending time with my two cats, Olive and Izzie.
I look forward to meeting you and providing a safe, supportive environment as we collaborate to work towards your goals.
