Therapists in Port Orchard, WA

Hello! I am Rachel, an individual and family therapist and licensed independent clinical social worker. I work with teens and adults, offering both individual and family therapy. I specialize in working with clients who have anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, autism, and depression. I also support clients experiencing phobias, OCD, grief/loss, and trauma. I partner with clients seeking to strengthen their stress/coping skills, relationships, communication skills, boundaries/self-care, and esteem/self-acceptance. I welcome LGBTQ+ identifying clients. I have taught meditation for 30 years, for those who would like to learn in-session.

I believe that all of us have the ability to be great, but there are challenges that get in the way. My passion is to help you realize who you are and what you can accomplish despite those challenges. I want to motivate and help you to do the work you need to be a better person, spouse, partner, parent, or friend. I know that we all have things going on, my goal is to be there for you through it, good or bad. Building you up or being there through a tough time that's what therapy is for.

Mark’s first love has always been in practice with family and individual counseling. After managing, he decided to enter into private practice, currently with the Mindful Therapy Group. Mark provides individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy services to people with a variety of mental and emotional difficulties including depression, anxiety, attention deficit, multiple personality, anti-social and other personality issues. Mark has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from different backgrounds, cultures, and unique circumstances.

Hi, welcome. I’m Rachel (they/them)! I believe human suffering wells up from a myriad of different sources. It is human nature to suffer, but what we do with it creates our life path. A major factor that may heighten your deep sense of pain is the lack of someone willing to be present in your pain and listen to your story. People innately desire to be seen and have their stories witnessed. Unfortunately many in society fear this intimate act of witnessing, leaving many to experience the void and pain of isolation in addition to their core suffering. One of the first and greatest steps toward healing is to have stories witnessed.

I strongly believe that therapy is co-created between client and therapist. While I am trained in the process of counseling, the client is the expert in their own experiences. I believe that the combining of these expertise is what creates meaningful therapy and lasting change. I am passionate about creating an environment where my clients feel safe to be their most authentic self and know that their experiences are truly heard. Therapy can already be such an intimidating and overwhelming undertaking – so I strive to show cultural humility and provide a non-judgmental space where we can focus on the true goals at hand.

Life can be hard! Having someone who listens and cares during a difficult time can make all the difference. My commitment to you is to build a strong relationship while offering the tools needed to meet your individual or family goals. I offer a client-centered, solution-focused approach to help guide you and support your needs. With strategies and approaches appropriate for all ages, I offer a non judgmental and safe environment, to help you/or your family achieve your goals. It would be an honor to be a support on your way to a healthy and rewarding journey!

Have you ever been made to feel like you can do nothing right? Do you question your ability to make a decision? Are you anxious, on edge, depressed or even lonely? Authentic Thoughts is a counseling practice that helps you move from where you are to your true authentic self.

While I am comfortable working on a wide variety of mental health issues with diverse clientelle, the majority of my clients have belonged to the LGBT and Disabled communities. I use a solution-focused, shame-free approach to therapy, helping my clients develop the skills and insights necessary to navigate their unique challenges.

Consciousness is evolving. This is a wonderful time to be alive, but if there is something preventing you from achieving your potential -- I can help. I have over 20 years' experience working in community mental health and in private practice, and my specialties include working through the painful memories of trauma, childhood sexual abuse, family conflict/abuse, and other deprivations which create low self-esteem and cause depression and anxiety. I am also interested in how capitalist culture undermines our ability to express ourselves creatively, and how the pressure of modern life can thwart vitality and hope.

Hi, I'm Casi. As a mental health counselor and Registered Play Therapist with a background in teaching, I bring extensive experience and advanced training in child development, mental health, and social-emotional learning to each session. Creating a nurturing space for children and teens is at the heart of what I do. Whether it's understanding complex emotions, navigating the maze of social dynamics, managing the swirl of anxiety, or finding a way through ADHD challenges, I offer techniques and tools tailored especially for young minds. For parents of child clients, our journey includes insights, guidance, and unwavering support.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents but also treat children, young adults, and their families. I am experienced with a variety of struggles that children, adolescents and young adults encounter including Depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety, Behavioral issues, Anger management, Parenting, Communication/Conflict resolution, Family relationship issues, Social skills, Self Esteem and Self harming behaviors. I have found that counseling is such a unique experience for each person. It can be the one place where you find the support, encouragement, insight and empowerment to make the changes needed to begin living the kind of life you truly desire.
