My name is Yaj (soft j). I am a Relationship "Coach" in Humboldt County, CA (previously LMFT in NY for 17 years). Since 2001, my clients - couples and individuals - have often tried prior counseling, books, workshops or waiting and hoping, but still crave relief from chronic patterns of conflict and negativity in relationships. My work offers paradigm-shifting experiences and learning in 75-minute couple sessions (60 or 75 for individuals), and hands-on material for integration at home. When people show up and are willing to be open, they learn how to end suffering and create safety and closeness in relationship.

I’d like to take a moment and applaud you! It takes awareness and courage to take steps towards change. So, great job! I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with over 5 years of experience providing mental health services. I have worked with different age groups and have helped individuals manage a wide range of concerns among depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, adjustments/transitions, career challenges, and relationship issues, and more. I believe in treating people with respect, compassion, and authenticity. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused therapy.

Among the issues that I work with in therapy are life transitions, depression, anxiety, midlife issues, self-esteem, creativity, aging, stress, grief, relationship issues including LGBT, women's issues, the fear of flying, and the emotional issues that come with Celiac disease. I work with individuals to find new and more positive approaches to the challenges of life. I offer both short-term issue-focused therapy and long-term more depth-oriented work in which you can make better choices rooted in your core values.

I have experience working with a wide variety of individuals and have worked in medical settings, counseling centers, churches, and non-profits. At this time I am committed to providing psychodynamic therapy. Psychodynamic therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but an evidence-based treatment that acknowledges the vastness of each individuals experience while holding pervasive themes that exist across human experience.

My goal is to work with you in order to help you live the life you desire. Together we can examine the past, identify internal and external barriers, explore values, and plan for the future. Authenticity, humility, and social justice are at the core of my work. I approach therapy from a client centered, humanistic, and ACT orientation.

We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you.

Caryn Lowe is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and a Certified EMDR therapist who has been studying and practicing EMDR for 18 years. Caryn’s primary EMDR mentor is Dr. Laurel Parnell- founder of the esteemed international Parnell Institute. Caryn is trained in psychodynamic and attachment based therapies. She has experience working with a wide spectrum of client issues including sexual assault, addiction, emotional abuse, grief, relational conflict, and medical trauma. She views ongoing education and consultation as cornerstones to providing excellent therapeutic service to her clients.

I strongly believe that we all have the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive in all aspects of our lives. Sometimes the stresses and difficulties of life can become too unsurmountable to face on our own, and we need additional therapeutic input to navigate these obstacles and build resiliency. This can include past or present trauma, addiction, rejection, loneliness, grief, relational conflict or other struggles that continue to overwhelm us. I see the therapeutic relationship as a dynamic partnership between client and therapist and believe in a holistic approach to therapy encompassing mind, body, and spirit.

My goal is to help people connect with themselves and others in meaningful and satisfying ways. Connection with the self allows acceptance and enjoyment of life without fear, suspicion, self-judgment, etc., which can prevent us from living life to its fullest. Connection with others allows us to "double our joy and divide our grief." Addressing issues such as depression, self-esteem, or anger can enhance our abilities to know ourselves and be fully present with others. I use an eclectic therapeutic style so that the work can be tailored to fit each client in each session.
