Welcome
Forager offers holistic therapy services in Seattle
A forager is in pursuit of nourishment, sustainability, recognizing value and purpose in what is naturally present, abundance, and a grounded state of being.
When people seek therapy they have often been suffering from one or more of the following:
Feeling malnourished in some aspect - self esteem, love, motivation, safety, etc
Feeling that their current way of being is not sustainable - exhausted, fed up, angry, ready to give up, etc
Feeling unvaluable, or feeling that there is no worth in their life - thinking they aren’t good enough, or that the world isn’t good enough, etc
Feeling like they are lacking in some important way - empty, listless, depleted, etc
Feeling disconnected from themselves, their body, or their core self - not sure who they are, uncertain why they do the things they do, not trusting themselves, etc.
Why Forager
Meet the therapist
Hello! I’m Cecania, and Forager is my independent therapy practice.
I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS). Many people come to therapy feeling frustrated because they already know what they should do (e.g., I know I should stop isolating. I know I should go outside more. I know I should stop drinking.) but struggle to make those choices. IFS helps us understand ourselves, recognize why we do what we do, and cultivate self-compassion, healing, and lasting well-being.
On the spectrum from reflective/passive therapists to active/directive therapists, I lean toward the active side. One of the most common frustrations people share about past therapy is that their therapist “just listened.” I aim to be an engaged co-facilitator in the therapy space, bringing my authentic self into the room.
I describe my approach as “holistic,” meaning that all parts of you are welcome and that different aspects of well-being—mental, emotional, physical, social, and environmental—are interconnected rather than separate.
