Puget Sound Psychotherapy & Psychiatry, PS

Eli Hastings is a wonderful therapist who is understanding and supportive. His ability to make someone feel loved and heard is a true gift!

Evonne Noble is one of the most hard-​working and thoughtful therapists that I have known. She is very approachable and encouraging in her demeanor and doesn’t get overwhelmed by difficult situations. She is a natural as a therapist and helps keep me on track and feel empowered when I get stuck.
Brien Wood is a very seasoned therapist that continues to build his skills and teach others through his practice. He is calm and supportive and passionate about helping those around him.
I would highly encourage you to seek out both of them and the other therapists at PSP for your therapy needs.

I have known Brien Wood for 15 years and I will say he is the most trustworthy person that I have met. I respect his authentic way and appreciate his willingness to learn and make room for differences. Being a professional, acting with integrity, and striving for the best are statements that come to mind when I think of Brien. If you are looking to experience someone genuine, direct, caring, talented, and full of insights and new approaches to difficult problems, I highly recommend Brien Wood!

Brien Wood and Evonne Noble are bright, empathetic and deeply knowledgable. They are really talented therapists in an age of quacks and hacks, they are the real deal. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I’ve found PSP has been a place where I feel comfortable and supported. I would recommend PSP to anyone looking for a therapist in the Seattle area — both for adults and children!

Brien Wood and Evonne Noble are two of the most empathetic people you will meet. Their skill at counseling and warm demeanor will relax anyone who may be unsure about seeking help. I highly recommend them both.

Brien Wood, Evonne Noble, and the other staff at PSP are a dedicated team of therapists and professionals that are commited to bringing the best care and support to the Seattle community. I’ve always had outstanding experiences with the staff at PSP, and it’s one of the things I miss most about living in Seattle!

I had the great pleasure of studying with and now working in the field with Kelly O’Brien. Kelly always seemed to raise the bar with her combination of humanity and theory knowledge in class and has always been clear about her passion in working with couples. Kelly’s demeanor, boundaries and personality are what I would look for in a therapist without a doubt and because I’ve seen her train (and trained with her), I know she’s clinically top notch. Puget Sound Psychotherapy is lucky to have her.

I have searched and searched for a therapist in Seattle that has the skill level and competence to help with my relationship. There are many layers of complicity and no ordinary average therapist can help. For the first time I can sit in a session and feel confident that we are being handled with the utmost skill and insight. Brien is by far the most capable therapist we have ever seen and I am so thankful to have found him. His empathy and ability to place himself in the shoes of both parties is uncanny and extremely useful in helping each party understand the other. His ability to bring you to the point of being honest with yourself is both amazing and enlightening every time. In each session we do work learning desperately needed communication techniques which leave us with a feeling of understanding and accomplishment. While our work is not done, I am truly grateful to have found Brien and for the first time I have hope for our relationship.

I credit Brien with helping save my relationship. We continue to see him many years later. He has a great grasp of what needs to change to make a relationship work. My experience with him was so helpful I pursued individual therapy.
Interestingly we had a similar experience as Justin. He asked us to leave the room to cool off for a few minutes, but it was because my wife and I were sabotaging the session by raising our voices. I credit Brien for being honest and calling us on the negativity we were bringing to the session. It’s like Jerry Maguirre, you’ve got to help him help you. If not get used to being asked to leave the room.

I’ve known Brien for a very long time and have received much guidance and nurturing from him over the years. His skill as a couples therapist and individual counselor is unequaled. I’ve seen other therapists at different stages of my life, and I’ve yet to encounter another therapist with such unequivocal dedication to his patients. He opens himself up to contact via phone and email and once you become a patient of his you are truly in his «care». He practices with a professionalism that you can rely on. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with their relationship or any other aspect of their emotional/​personal life.

This man (I won’t call him a therapist) is the most unprofessional health experience my wife and I have ever had. 10 minutes into our session he suddenly plurted out «I need you to leave, now» and that we could come back in 10 minutes after HE had collected himself. Apparently, HE (the couples «therapist») could not handle two adults raising there voices. He said «I am hurt and impacted by your words and I would like you to leave.» He then kicked us out into the rain and cold.
This guy is dangerous. An individual who shows much more concern for himself then his couples.
Stay clear!
UPDATE: years later I am still receiving emails from other couples who have had similar experiences.
