Welcome to Gentle Hearts Therapy
Individual, relational, and sex therapy services in Spanish and English within the Greater Puget Sound area.
Gentle Hearts Therapy is rooted in the belief that healing begins with kindness and openness, both toward ourselves and others. The name reflects the warmth and compassion that guide our work, creating a space where exploration leads to deeper self-awareness and vulnerability is met with empathy and curiosity. Life’s challenges often shape the way we connect, and through gentle reflection, we uncover new ways to engage more intentionally, mindfully, and with greater understanding toward ourselves and those around us. Here, we focus on cultivating compassionate connections that foster healing and personal growth.
About Me
Hola / Hello
I’m Claudia (she/her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and American Board Sexologist based in Washington. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply rooted in honoring your experiences with care and accountability. With a culturally informed, non-judgmental lens, I help individuals and relationships navigate healing, self-discovery, and connection. Authentic, humorous, and deeply present, I believe that all of us have the ability to reclaim our stories—and I’d be honored to help you reclaim yours.
