Therapists in Colfax, WA

Welcome to Jaeden Roberts Counseling & Alternative Therapies. I work with adults and children, providing individual & family sessions, as well as teaching classes. My approach is holistic, and I see my role as helping clients cultivate their natural strengths and capacities for healing, gain skills/tools to address problematic dynamics and stressors, and address and resolve past trauma. I believe wholeheartedly in the connection between body and mind, and I work to ensure that healing takes place at all levels. All services are strictly confidential, of course. Some sessions available online (via Facetime or email), based on your needs/preference.

You cannot recover from anxiety by just remaining calm, or depression by just being positive. Recovery from the battles of life takes time, patience, and releasing old habits. Whether you’re facing mental illness, parenting, relationships, or life transitions; change must occur in order for peace to resurface. It's okay to feel unstable, it's ok for things to not be ok, and it's okay to ask for help.

Generally, we react to suffering and what we struggle with by trying to fix perceived problems, our selves, or others. It is natural to not want to suffer, but often our very resistance to suffering, or the habits we develop to avoid discomfort and pain work against us. I provide an integrative, soul-nourishing approach to therapy rooted in embodied depth psychology, health coaching, and mindfulness practices that encourages fully accepting ourselves: our bodies, feelings, and thoughts as they are.

The decision to seek help is a personal one, often made after trying everything to remedy our circumstances. Childhood issues, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relational issues, and personal loss can take a toll. With over 20 years of counseling individuals and families with a wide swath of difficult circumstances, I have learned to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, truthful, and safe environment that promotes self confidence and hope in overcoming and breaking through the obstacles we all face from time to time

At my very core, I enjoy and cherish people and your stories. That I get to be a part of your process of discovery, growth or healing is a great honor and one that I do not take lightly. I believe in the ability for people to heal, grow and change and draw from a holistic, person-centered approach. I specialize in assisting you through life's adjustments; meaning making, loss, grief and mourning; counseling with counselors; trauma, relationship challenges and struggles with a variety of mental health needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, etc.). I believe in walking alongside you with your healing.

True wealth is about finding peace and fulfillment.

There is no substitute for tending to our personal and relational experiences; it is likely the reason you are reading this. Welcome! From my experience, when we desire a deeper engagement with life or significant problems arise, often something within us wants our attention. When we pay attention to our feelings and actions rather than focus on events or people, we frequently discover the "How" of creative change. Sometimes change means behaving in unfamiliar ways, adapting to limitations, or relating differently to our partner. Hence, my approach embraces the wisdom and direction that problems and desires provide within each person.

We are an innovative community of unconventional, yet comprehensively trained, psychotherapists providing practical, non-reductive, and in-depth support to help you overcome adversities, resolve outdated patterns, craft more fulfilling relationships, achieve your mental health goals—and address the traumas, stressors, burdens, and conflicts that hold you back from enjoying what your life and relationships have to offer. In general, we foster a holistic and integrative approach to mental health care that focuses on what works and is not limited to what has traditionally been practiced.

I am a compassionate and culturally attuned therapist with a passion for guiding individuals on their path to healing and personal growth. With a background rooted in trauma-informed care, I recognize the profound impact of life experiences on mental health.

Currently full, though I do have a waitlist going. I'm a strengths-based, psychodynamic therapist who tailors sessions to my client’s unique needs, values and goals. I am also a neurodivergent-affirming clinician with experience in working with the Autistic and ADHD populations. My background includes working with children, teens and their families in individual, parent, and family therapy settings; with youth, families, or adults with post, current, and/or complex trauma; in therapeutic partnership with teens and adults, including but not limited to inner-child healing.

In a perfect world, we are operating at 100% energy, vigor, and zest. Life's trials and tribulations can inhibit our ability to fully self express. I offer to you the opportunity to get past and triumph over factors in your life that are inhibiting your ability to achieve your goals and aspirations. Whether you struggle from a physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual impediment, our time together will focus on your wants and needs so that you can overcome any such challenges and move forward in the present in an empowered manner. If you are ready, I am ready to support you.

I enjoy working with adults and emerging adults on discovering and developing their individual identity. Often when we become ourselves, underlying traumas and other mental health issues are brought to light, so it is important to me to ensure that those issues are handled with care and compassion. Those that I work with strive to understand who they are in spite of the things that have happened to them so that they may live a truly happy life exactly as they were meant to, they just need a little assistance developing the skills to overcome current and future obstacles.
