Hi, my name is Alana (she/her). I’m a therapist in West Seattle and I’m so glad you’re here.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to make things better. I’ve been there. I also know how support from the right therapist can be life-changing. I’ve been a therapist for over twelve years and I am currently licensed to see clients in New York and Washington State.
I specialize in Brainspotting therapy to help adults get unstuck and access deeper body-based healing that talk therapy alone can’t always reach. Many of the people I work with are struggling with pet loss, anxiety, grief, or big life transitions. Others just feel “stuck” and aren’t quite sure why. All of it is welcome here.

Alana Jaeck, West Seattle Therapist
Specializing in Pet Loss, Anxiety, Life Transitions, and Brainspotting.
In our work together, you'll get to know yourself more deeply — your inner resources, your values, your "why." We'll work to dismantle the shoulds (what society, friends, or family think you should do or be) and move toward something more intentional and aligned. The goal isn't perfection — it's a life that actually feels like yours.
Ready to get unstuck? Contact me for therapy in Seattle.
I'm not here with all the answers. I'm here alongside you. What matters to you, matters to me. Every feeling is valid. Every part of you is welcome. We'll look at the whole picture, including the ways your struggles connect to your environment and circumstances. There is nothing wrong with you.
Sessions are supportive and challenging — and you'll always be in the driver's seat. We'll do more than just talk. Using somatic approaches like Brainspotting and IFS, we'll get to the root of what's keeping you stuck and work toward real, lasting relief. There are no magic fixes — sometimes life is just f'ing hard — but there is a path forward. You don't have to have it all figured out before you begin.
Reach out today for your free consultation.
When you're ready, the next step is to reach out for a consultation. We'll talk through what's going on and explore whether working together feels like a good fit. Whether you're moving through grief, loss, transition, or just that heavy, undefined stuckness — I can't wait to help you find your way through it.
Okay, now the official stuff…
