Briana Bankston

I consider myself a broad-spectrum nerd, and much like my therapeutic style, I approach my wide range of interests with enthusiasm, passion, and curiosity. I spend most of my free time gaming, from hosting game nights in my community, playing TTRPG’s like Dungeons and Dragons in small groups, to solo online gaming and MMORPG’s. I take joy in everything from small and cozy to sweeping adventures, and I’m always excited to find new games to play and stories to invest in. I identify as queer and my work is gender affirming, kink and ENM aware.

David Delimont

Outside of work, I enjoy over-analyzing books and movies (a psychology degree is a dangerous thing)! I also enjoy 3D printing (when the printer's not broken), stargazing (when it's not cloudy), playing with my kids (when they are not shrieking at each other), and playing tabletop games (when I can find a clean table). As a long-time resident of Washington State, I enjoy the great outdoors during half the year (and the great indoors during the rest). In short, I live as happily as possible, given the circumstances.

Jeffrey Shenk

At this stage in my life I find a lot of joy in being full time Papa to some amazing grandchildren. I enjoy camping, hiking, and geocaching. I usually have two or three books going at a time, some history, some religious, and some fun. I have lived within sight of at least one snow capped mountain my entire life, and really cannot imagine ever leaving the Northwest.

Laura Doughty

Outside of work, I find joy walking in nature, being on the water, gardening, and hanging out with my family. It’s important to me to support local and minority-owned businesses, and encourage connection within and between communities.

Julie Cabell

Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about creativity, exploration, and connecting with the people I love. In my spare time, you can usually find me spending quality time with my family, caring for my pet dog, or diving into a good book or movie. As a creative outlet, I love working with my hands—whether I am starting a new crafting project or painting with watercolors. I also have a deep love for traveling and exploring new places, always eager to discover new perspectives and experiences.

Morgan Boyd

Outside of therapy, I have a lot of fun adventuring and bringing out my inner child. I love solving my way out of an escape room, getting immersed in a great story whether it’s through a book or an RPG, and maximizing the Lightning Lane system to fit in as many Disneyland attractions as possible in one day.

Outside of practice, The wife and I enjoy long walks with the dog (who is our world) and any outside time we can get. I am a LEGO master, gardener/landscaper, watercolor painter, dog trainer, and a beach-walking, agate-finding rock hound.

If you have more questions, our Care Coordination Team would love to help.

Too often searching for a therapist is a daunting task. Especially when you’re feeling hopeless and vulnerable, finding the right therapist can seem impossible. Where do I even start? How quickly will I be seen? What type of therapy is right for me? At Two Chairs, our licensed therapists work with you to understand your needs, goals, and preferences. Through a rigorous, data-driven approach backed by research and clinical expertise, we match you with the right therapist and type of therapy for your needs.

Yes! Two Chairs offers hybrid care, which allows for a combination of virtual and in-person sessions for clients who are located near one of our clinics and would like the option to connect with their therapist in person. With hybrid care, our goal is to help each Two Chairs client find the right therapist and the right setting for therapy — whether that’s from the comfort of your home or in one of our beautiful clinics, including Seattle.

If you’re interested in starting hybrid care at Two Chairs, the first step is to book your Matching appointment, where you can let us know that you’re interested in hybrid care. Please note: All matching appointments and first therapy sessions at Two Chairs are held virtually.

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is the best predictor of successful treatment outcome. Psychologists define the therapeutic alliance as the strength of the therapist and client relationship and how aligned you are on goals. Once you have developed a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist, studies show that individuals are more productive at work, have more fulfilled relationships, can cope more effectively with daily stressors, and engage in less risky behaviors.

Unfortunately, clients can not book with a specific matching therapist at this time. All of our matching therapists are licensed clinicians trained extensively in matching people to the therapist who’s right for them.
