About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Seattle, Washington. I have 23 years of professional experience providing therapy to youth and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma & abuse, difficult feelings, and coping with life changes.

I strive to approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity and respect for multicultural issues, doing my own work to overcome the obstacle my privilege as a white, male therapist may pose to my clients. I consider the therapeutic relationship to be at the heart of effective therapy, and it is my goal to treat my clients with compassion, respect, and warmth.

Whether we are talking or doing an occasional role play, my therapy style draws from my experience as a drama therapist. I have provided individual therapy in adult day treatment programs, a school health clinic in a middle school, a child guidance clinic for children and families, and a national program for military veterans with post traumatic stress disorder.

I believe we are all products of our closest relationships, our environment, our families, and all of our experiences leading up to now. My goal is to meet you where you are and find an approach that will work best for us as we work together to meet your therapeutic goals.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I'm here to support you in navigating this moment in your journey!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Frederick (Fred) Landers. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Frederick has opened my eyes and mind to better possibilities. Through use of what I consider an “outside of the confinement box” tactic in therapy, I have been in most my life, I have since lightened my mind, been able to see more and take the value of the situations to new levels. There is a lot to unpack when it comes to me, and he has not only met that intention, I really believe he has shown me ways to recognize tensions, my own anxiety and the need for movement to stay in the moment. Fred has gotten further in our time together than anyone in my past. I am grateful for him and the Better Heath forum to experience a better livelihood.
