Misophonia Therapy in Seattle & Bellevue, Washington (Telehealth)

Specialized Virtual Treatment with PsychWell — formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia

Living with misophonia in the Seattle–Bellevue area can feel especially isolating.

This region is known for thoughtful, introspective, highly sensitive people — and for long stretches of indoor time, quiet offices, shared apartments, and remote work. When you have misophonia, that combination can intensify the problem. The chewing, breathing, tapping, typing, or fidgeting that others barely notice can take over your entire nervous system.

Misophonia is not a lack of tolerance. It is a powerful emotional and physiological reaction to specific sounds or movements that feel intrusive and overwhelming. And when you live close to others — in a home, an office, or even on a Zoom call — those triggers can become impossible to escape.

PsychWell, formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia, provides specialized virtual misophonia therapy for clients in Seattle, Bellevue, and across Washington State.

You don’t need to find a local expert. You can work with one from wherever you are.

When Quiet Makes Everything Louder

Many people with misophonia in the Pacific Northwest describe the same paradox: the quieter the environment, the more unbearable the triggers become.

You might notice:

  • Every chew, breath, or keyboard tap feels amplified

  • You can’t tune out repetitive sounds

  • Your body becomes tense and vigilant

  • You feel trapped by other people’s presence

  • You start avoiding shared spaces

Misophonia doesn’t just disrupt your attention — it disrupts your sense of safety.

The Emotional Side No One Talks About

Misophonia often brings intense shame.

You might feel angry at a partner, roommate, or coworker — and then feel terrible for feeling angry. You may worry that something is wrong with you, that you’re “too sensitive,” or that you’re incapable of normal relationships.

But misophonia is not about weakness. It is about a nervous system that learned to equate certain sensations with threat and loss of control.

That can be unlearned.

Why Traditional Therapy Isn’t Enough

Most therapy approaches in Seattle focus on mindfulness, relaxation, or anxiety management. While helpful for many things, they usually don’t change misophonia at its core.

Misophonia isn’t just stress. It is a pattern of emotional rigidity, perfectionism, and nervous-system reactivity that requires a targeted approach.

PsychWell was built specifically for this.

The EASE Model

At PsychWell (formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia), we treat misophonia using EASE — External Acceptance and Self Engagement.

External Acceptance helps you stop fighting reality — other people’s sounds, behaviors, and movements. When the fight ends, your nervous system begins to calm.

Self Engagement helps you learn how to feel your own emotions — anger, shame, sadness, fear — without suppressing or judging them.

Together, these two skills create emotional and nervous-system flexibility, which is the true antidote to misophonia.

How Virtual Misophonia Therapy Works in Washington

We work with adults, teens, couples, and families throughout Seattle and Bellevue who are ready for something deeper than coping.
