Colleen Short, MA., LMFT, LMHC

Located in the Pacific Northwest, where community and individuality are deeply valued, I offer a healing space tailored to your unique journey. Whether you’re exploring your identity, managing life’s transitions, or seeking deeper connections in your relationships, therapy with me is a collaborative and inclusive process. Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, DBT, and CBT, I help you overcome trauma, manage anxiety, and align your life with your personal values. My holistic approach considers your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being as we work together to create the life you deserve. As an EMDR therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, including PTSD, C-PTSD, and developmental experiences that impact daily life. My trauma-informed, non-judgmental approach supports clients in areas such as identity, gender, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Together, we’ll use a variety of therapeutic tools to foster healing and growth. Therapy is a partnership—one where we work side by side to explore deeper healing, addressing not only mental health but also cultural, spiritual, and physical aspects of your life. By taking a holistic view, we can align your life with your authentic self. Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but know you’re not alone. I’m here to offer compassionate support and techniques to guide you through this journey. Wherever you're starting from, your whole self is welcome here.
