Therapists in Medical Lake, WA

I am a Licensed Mental Health therapist and have had my own private practice for 14 years. I have worked with children, adolescents and families for 20 years. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University and I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and art/ sand tray therapy for children. I see therapy as creating a safe atmosphere to explore awareness and affirm the unique gifts of individuals toward healing and wholeness. Visit my website at www.marycaruso.com

Are you concerned with a personal issue, overwhelmed by stress or worries, burdened by depression or anxiety? Are you trying to deal with a traumatic event in your life, past sexual abuse or emotional abuse? Are you struggling with family or relationship conflicts? Everyone encounters situations when one feels lost, unable to cope, or needs support and guidance. If you're looking for relief from pain; compassionate, nonjudgmental support and guidance; hope for improvement; and lasting change, counseling can help! Research shows that therapy can lead to increased happiness, productive coping mechanisms, fulfilling relationships and improved physical health.

I offer an integrative approach to therapy bringing tools and techniques from various modalities, including CBT, solutions-focused, acceptance, and commitment therapy. I encourage self-reflection, homework, and openness to experimenting with different perspectives. You are the drive of your success. I specialize in the most common mental health problems I treat, but not limited to Mood, Anxiety, Depression, and Family and Group therapy. I strive to implement psychotherapeutic methods during each appointment. My approach is informal. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

These days, it can feel like life is moving too fast for us to keep up. This is made all the more challenging when we struggle with such things as unhealthy relationships, intense negative feelings, poor self-image, or trauma. You may worry that getting help means enduring an uncomfortable process that may not result in any notable change. I believe that therapy does not have to be painful to be successful, that it can be infused with moments of laughter and insight. It is about determining why we are stuck as well as figuring out how to create and maintain practical positive changes.

Are you struggling to get through the day? Feeling disconnected from yourself and your life? Has your mind gotten the best of you, causing you to engage in repetitive negative self-talk? There is a way out. With compassion and clarity, I will help you navigate your way to a life of inner peace and joy. Once you have achieved clarity of mind and eliminated self-defeating thought patterns, creating the life you truly want becomes attainable. Deep down you know what you really want and until you are connected with that desire, you will always have a nagging feeling that something is missing. It's time that you find you.

I see myself as having the privilege to walk with my clients for part of their life's journey. There are times when we may find ourselves unable to see options, and unsure of the best way to proceed. In my office I provide a safe place to explore problems and to work with my clients. I practice from a strengths-based focus - this means we will identify your strengths, your skills and your abilities to make changes in your life. I love my work and I dedicate myself to my clients' successes.

Hello! I am so glad that you are here. Let's start the process of change together. Side-by-side we will do detective work to find out what is keeping you stuck and find ways to help support you to living with more satisfaction. My approach is one of authenticity, curiosity, openness, and even adding a little humor. The kind of clients that I like to help are those who are ready to explore a different path. I am particularly passionate about women issues, whether that is around pregnancy, child raising, or relationships. I also like finding ways to work through anxiety, depression, grief and loss with people.

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.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

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.

If you suffer from anxiety, depression, dissatisfying relationships, or a history of trauma, you are not alone. Whether you want to learn more about yourself, set goals, learn coping skills or just want someone to hold space for your emotions and thoughts, I'm here to help. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a major component to success. Our time together will be a safe place, grounded in empathy and non-judgment, where we can discuss your life's meaning, emotional well-being, relationships, and anything that's on your mind.

My ideal client would be searching for a counselor who is genuine, empathetic, unconditionally holds them in positive regard, and can connect to their experiences. They would have a goal of learning new skills, working on behavioral and cognitive change, and are willing to look at multiple solutions to achieve their goals. They would want to strive for success as they see it and want support in removing any barriers for a better and healthier future.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

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

Healing looks different for everyone. I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I have worked with individuals experiencing symptoms of substance abuse, adjustment disorder, codependency, trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, as well as other mental health illnesses.

Peace and love ladies, I see you and I understand you. There is nothing that you cannot share with me and nothing that I will not go out of my way to help assist you with. If your circumstances have left you feeling empty, afraid, unloved, and uncertain about where your life is going or are meant to go, then let me help you. Do not let depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual trauma, or anything else become the ruler of your life. Let me help you turn things around and become the best you possible. Love is Key!

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.

Welcome! Finding a therapist that is a good match can be a struggle. I have experience in treating a wide range of symptoms from anxiety to trauma. The therapy models that I use most commonly are attachment based. I believe that no matter what you have experienced in life, you are able to be your own change agent in your life. I currently see clients on telehealth from Texas, Montana, Florida and Washington State.
