BOBBI EWING, MA, LMHC, CYT
Like so many who walk this earth, I have experienced pain, suffering, and trauma. From within I have discovered and continue to discover the “medicine” that is needed to heal myself and others. Often this medicine comes in the form of a teaching or an insight. An important message that came through one of my deepest wounds is, “the heart of love is acceptance.”
I have come to regard my wounds as my inheritance, a vast resource, a great gift I can draw from to support others through the healing process. One of my mantras is, “I heal myself to heal the world.” I am deeply devoted to my personal growth, transformation, and awakening. My passion for my own healing and thirst for learning fuels my outer work. Much of my knowledge, insight, and understanding is informed by my inner work, from the inside-out, as well as formal study. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I received my MA in Psychology, Counseling Specialization from LIOS (Leadership Institute of Seattle) at Saybrook University. |

Prior to opening my private practice, I counseled individuals and couples at Sound (formerly Sound Mental Health) in Bellevue.
I have a yoga practice that spans over a decade and a half – I am both a student and a certified/experienced teacher. I trained in the Anusara method, a style of yoga rooted in non-dual Tantric philosophy and that is alignment based, heart expansive, and life affirming. My embodied knowledge of the nervous system and the breath, cultivated through my yoga practice, is a valuable resource in my work.
I have a decade of practice in non-violent communication (NVC), the language of feelings and needs. I studied for two years with a certified NVC trainer and for eight years following, I co-facilitated a weekly empathy circle / practice group with my peers. One of the foundational principles of the NVC consciousness is to hold others in unconditional positive regard. I bring this consciousness forward into my life and into my psychotherapy practice.
I am a graduate of Hakomi, Level 2 with Seattle Hakomi Education Network. I am currently in the Level 3 training, working toward certification. Hakomi is a gentle, nourishing, mindful method of assisted self-study that weaves in aspects of Internal Family Systems.
I volunteered for five years with Sierra Club's Seattle Inner City Outings as team lead and outings leader for middle school youth.
Notable influences are Tara Brach, Pema Chödrön, Rick Hanson, Thomas Huebl, and my beloved yoga teachers. I love the poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, Rilke, and Mary Oliver.
One of my most important relationships is with nature. One of my yearly traditions is to retreat for a week (or longer) alone in the woods.
