Therapy & EMDR in Seattle and WA State
A space where clarity and relief begin.
Specializing in EMDR therapy, relationship issues, chronic stress, religious trauma, and men’s issues.
You’re carrying more than you let on.
You’ve been trying to logic your way out of stress, conflict, or the same recurring patterns — but no matter how hard you push, something keeps pulling you back.
The same reactions.
The same tension.
The same disconnection.
Your relationships feel harder than they should. At work, the pressure to perform never seems to let up. You’re functioning, but you’re exhausted. Emotionally, you may feel too much or nothing at all — overwhelmed or totally shut off.
And if you grew up with religious trauma, purity culture, or fear-based messaging, it may still shape how you relate to yourself and others in ways you didn’t expect.
You’ve tried pushing through, but it’s not getting any easier.
You don’t need more willpower. You need space, clarity, and support to finally understand what’s happening beneath the surface. That’s where our work begins.
Hi, I’m Daniel Rusco (he/him).
I am here to help you feel more confident, connected, and at ease in your life and relationships.
If you’ve been carrying stress, disconnect, or the same painful patterns for longer than you want to admit, you already know this isn’t something a quick tip or generic therapy session is going to fix. That’s the work I do.
People come to me when they’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, distant, or stuck in repeating cycles that make their relationships harder than they should be.
Together, we slow things down in a way that helps you hear yourself clearly again. You’ll learn how to understand what you’re feeling, say what you mean without shutting down, and show up in your life with more steadiness and confidence.
My clients invest in this work, because they’re ready for deeper change, not temporary relief. And because they want a therapist who can hold the full complexity of their story — and help them build something stronger from it.
I also offer EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), this helps your mind finally let go of old experiences and brings a sense of freedom and relief.
If you’re ready for a calmer mind, steadier relationships, and a life that feels like it fits you again, book a free consultation and take the first step toward change.
