Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlbert Billings is a licensed mental health counselor associate and former tech leader who blends 14 years of engineering and security program management with trauma-informed, queer- and kink-aware therapy in private practice in Seattle. He specializes in supporting tech workers, military veterans, and other self-described "weirdnerd" clients using IFS, secular mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered approaches. Before shifting full-time into therapy he led security assurance and fuzzing teams at Mozilla and managed Android security programs at Magnit, bringing deep operational experience in vulnerability discovery and program delivery. His clinical training includes internship work with the US Army Chaplain Corps at JBLM and advanced study in Buddhist doctrine and counseling, reflecting a synthesis of contemplative and evidence-based methods. That unusual arc—from platform engineering and security program management to clinical practice—gives him a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to mental health and a knack for helping high-performing technologists navigate stress, identity, and culture change.
