“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue..."
― Rainer Maria Rilke
Elliot Huemann, LMHC, LPC
Therapist & Consultant
Hi, I'm glad you're here!
I'm Elliot, and I work with clients in Washington and Minnesota. I help people who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves develop a stronger sense of identity and become who they want to be. Much of my work centers on helping people heal from past trauma by finding freedom in their bodies and connection in their relationships.
I studied counseling at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology, where I focused on trauma, spirituality, LGBTQ+ identity development, and sexuality. My approach is holistic, integrating traditional talk therapy with advanced somatic therapies. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, playing with my chocolate lab, and getting lost in a good fantasy book.
Questions we'll engage together:
Men's Issues
How do I want to define what
it means to be a man?
Why is work taking over my life,
and what can I do about it?
Why does it feel like my sexuality is in control
of me, and not the other way around?
Anxiety
How can I understand where my
anxiety is coming from?
Why does my body react the way
it does under stress?
How can mindfulness help me respond rather
than react to overwhelming emotions?
Trauma
Why do past experiences still have
such a strong grip on me?
How can I feel present and connected
to my own body?
How can I tell my story in a way that
feels true and empowering?
Relationships
What do I really want and need
in my relationships?
Why does it feel so hard to be vulnerable,
especially around sex and intimacy?
If I explore my sexuality, could it help me stop
holding back in my relationships?

I have worked with a wide range of clients who vary greatly from each other, all in different places on their journey. What they share in common is the awareness of a concern and the willingness to explore where their questions take them.
