Ayca Gillett

Having built homes across five countries, I deeply appreciate the transpersonal human journey and greet my clients with a joyful, neurodivergent spirit. I view therapy as a sacred space where every visitor—be it joy, sorrow, shame, or a sudden flash of awareness—is welcomed at the door with honor and curiosity. My two decades in corporate finance and healthcare technology acquainted me with both the thrill and the quiet drain of high-pressure environments, along with the deep inner resilience needed to stay whole. Today, my practice is humanistic, experiential, culturally attuned, and deeply rooted in social justice. I hold tender reverence for the neurodivergent and immigrant experience, resonating with the traveler’s heart as we navigate life transitions, cultivate belonging, and discover grounding through mindful presence.

I serve as an affirming, compassionate witness for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, gender identity, relationship dynamics, polyamory, and self-worth. I am dedicated to walking alongside women through the profound physical, emotional, and psychological shifts of menopause, and I bring heartfelt experience supporting youth in grief camps coping with the sudden loss of their caregiver.

In our sessions, you can expect an evidence-informed, holistic sanctuary tailored to your unique rhythm. I deeply believe in somatic offerings that gently honor your body and attachment history, weaving nervous system awareness together with relational healing. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)—alongside mindfulness and narrative frameworks—I support neurodivergent adolescents, couples, and families (especially those living with ADHD and anxiety) in trading self-criticism for self-compassion.

My personal journey as a mother, paired with a Bachelor’s in International Relations and Political Science and my clinical training at Seattle University, bridges grounded academic rigor with lived, soulful wisdom. Above all, I am dedicated to holding an unhurried, respectful space, ready to welcome whatever walks through the door, as you find your own path to heal and flourish. I am a topography diver, snowboarder and a Burner! Looking forward to meeting you!
