Therapy in Washington State | In-Person in Downtown Edmonds & Statewide via Telehealth
Individual, Couples, and Group Therapy for Adults Ready for Meaningful Change
Helping adults and couples navigate sex addiction, problematic sexual behavior, recovery from trauma, eating disorders and other complicated relationships with food.
Clarity & Identity Integration
Understand the emotional roots of your behaviors, especially those linked to early wounds, perfectionism, or inherited family dynamics, so you can move forward with grounded confidence.
Healing from Shame & Guilt
Uncover and release internalized shame, often tied to cultural, familial, or religious systems. Discover what it feels like to live without hiding parts of yourself.
Stronger Relationships
Whether you're working on your marriage, parenting, or intergenerational wounds, therapy helps you show up more authentically, with better boundaries and less fear.
This Is Your Place to Be Understood
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
You're not here for surface-level symptom relief. You're here because something deeper feels off—whether it's your relationship, your faith, your body, or your sense of self. Maybe you’ve been the strong one, the insightful one, the one who reads the books and does the inner work... and still feel stuck.
At Blue Harbor Counseling, we work best with clients who are emotionally hungry but often guarded—people who crave deeper relationships, inner peace, and clarity, but aren’t quite sure how to get there. If you’ve tried podcasts, willpower, spiritual disciplines, or even other therapy—and still feel like something’s missing—this may be the space you’ve been looking for.

Hello, I’m Matthew Tiemeyer
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT)
I specialize in helping people like you—the thoughtful, introspective adult who’s tired of surface fixes and wants to get to the root of it all. My clients often carry emotional legacies from families, churches, or culture that left them questioning their worth or struggling to relate to others in healthy ways.
Therapy with me is a mix of challenge and compassion—I'll be with you through the messy middle, helping you name what hurts, explore what’s underneath, and move forward with clarity and care.
What Clients Often Experience:
A safe space to express emotions
Many arrive feeling emotionally shut down or overwhelmed. Through our work, they develop the tools to identify and express their emotions more clearly, often for the first time.
Relief from shame and self-doubt
Clients often carry hidden shame tied to childhood, faith, or culture. Therapy becomes a space to process that shame and build a more compassionate view of themselves.
Deeper, healthier relationships
Whether working on a marriage, healing family wounds, or exploring attachment patterns, clients report feeling more grounded, less reactive, and more capable of intimacy and connection.
Long-term personal transformation
This isn’t short-term symptom relief. Many clients engage in therapy over time, experiencing layered growth—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
Insightful, trustworthy guidance
Clients appreciate a therapeutic relationship that offers both emotional safety and intellectual depth. They feel challenged when needed, supported always.
