First Choice Health | FCH Therapists in 98503

I am forever inspired by the resilience, innate wisdom, and healing capacity of the individuals, couples, and families with whom I work. My role in the therapy process is to facilitate the achievement of target objectives and to foster insight and skills to improve the experience of living now and into the future. With an educational background in marriage and family therapy, and specialty training in Sex Therapy, Sexuality Education, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (attachment theory), Emotion Freedom Technique, and Eden Energy Medicine, I work across cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and energetic dimensions to achieve solid, long-term results.

Anyone who truly wants help with their mental health or daily living problems. I have had the privilege of working with people of multiple cultures, races, and ages. I have been licensed in 5 states. This has given me exposure to many cultures and regions. As a result, I tend to get along with most clients. I work with brief problems in daily living to issues that include complex medical issues/trauma. I connect with moth people. I work with both adults and relationships. I don't expect people to change their "personality". I strive to help people find what works best for them, not what works for me.

Now accepting new couples! Are you too familiar with feelings like hurt, isolation, or helplessness? If so, you know these can zap the life out of you and your partner, not to mention your relationship. I believe all these feelings can arise from one common enemy, disconnection. Whether that disconnection arose from stress, conflict, infidelity, a diagnosis, or from simply feeling "off," disconnection makes it harder for us to thrive under life’s stressors, let alone build the relationship we want.

Growing up is hard and it’s completely normal to need a little help along the way. I believe that addressing mental health and behavioral concerns at a young age can help kids to prosper and grow into healthy adults. I offer kids and teens a safe place to express themselves, process whatever it is they are experiencing in their world, and someone who will listen without any judgements or biases. My focus is to teach kids and teens skills they can use to cope with their symptoms and be successful in whatever they choose to do. I also help parents learn skills to improve communication and their relationship with their kid/teen.

I view my role as a therapist to support and assist individuals in making changes in their lives. This is done through learning about the individual, providing education and introducing skills to create the changes that the individual is wanting. Working together we will identify the obstacles and patterns that have interfered with the wanted changes. My style is to use structured set of tools from the evidence based methods so that individuals can meet their therapy goals.

It is quite common to experience difficulties throughout life. When these difficulties arise an individual may seek the assistance of a counselor or therapist in order to better understand and deal with the issues. Deciding to seek counseling is the first step in change and is often one of the hardest decisions to make. I work with clients who are trying to cope with anxiety, depression, early childhood trauma, sexual abuse, PTSD, and family integration problems. I am someone who is interested in listening to your concerns and in helping you develop a better understanding of these issues.

Welcome! My name is Laura Fore. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling with a License as a Mental Health Counselor. I provide individual and family/couple counseling services at a private practice in Lacey, Washington. Please contact me and we can discuss how counseling can be the support you need to overcome challenges and attain your goals. Telemedicine not for you? I’m available for in-person services.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.

Hello. My name is James Faust and I provide affordable and effective counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I serve the South Sound community providing mental health, family, and relationship counseling to a diverse mix of individuals, couples, and families.

I am Sandra McLeod, a fully licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist which means I treat all ages and specialize in treating children, adolescents, and teens. Is your child or another member of your family showing signs of stress, anxiety, depression? Have you or they experienced trauma? Or possibly there are sensory or learning challenges present that may interfere with a healthy, balanced life? I may be able to help.

Life challenges can become struggles. Normal transitions, like a job change or an “empty nest” can be daunting--maybe even overwhelming. Big issues, like relationship stress, illness, divorce, job loss, losing someone close, can weigh heavily, steal our energy, derail us. You may suffer from depression, anxiety, or other difficulties. For struggles with food and body issues, or distressing habits, I would love to help you with these challenges, as well. Accepting new clients; teletherapy appts available.

Now accepting new clients! Hello! I'm Dr. Kristen Moore (nee Bradley). My focus is on adult clients who have anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD.

I could be a good fit for you. I support my clients to unpack and gain understanding of underlying issues of old wounds while healing from prior experiences; to find calm, confidence and clarity in life choices while navigating change; develop deep personal insights and improve emotional balance.

Good therapy is based on a good therapeutic relationship. There are no "right" answers; only answers that are right for you. Together, we can focus on how you see the world and how the world sees you, improve communication, and identify self-needs, rediscover your unique gifts and role in life, and create and maintain healthy boundaries.

No matter if you're an individual, part of a family, or a member of a community, it's natural to encounter tough times in life. There's no shame in seeking a helping hand during these challenging moments, and that's where I come in. Let me guide you through the maze of life's intricacies. Together, we'll explore creative approaches to tackle your problems head-on and build your resilience for whatever may lie ahead. I have an unwavering belief that everyone has the capability to reach their aspirations, realize their dreams, and lead a life brimming with significance.

My clients often feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, have high expectations, and don’t want to burden others. As a result, they sometimes have a hard time not only accepting help but asking for help too. I specialize in stress management, anxiety, moderate/mild depression and relationships. I do a lot of work around negative self talk, self-esteem/worth, assertiveness, self care and boundary setting. For individuals, I start by completing a biopsychosocial assessment, so I can learn about you on multiple levels and better understand your subjective experience. We then move on to setting treatment goals and begin therapy.

We all experience challenges throughout our lives. My person-centered approach gives you the opportunity to discuss what is meaningful to you. I support adults who wish to build confidence, renew self-esteem, and develop the practical skills and resources necessary to heal from the pain of traumatic and adverse life experiences. My fourteen years of experience supporting people who are challenged by health issues, family issues, and grief and loss has given me a wealth of diverse knowledge. I help people find relief and heal from anxiety, depression, phobias and negative core beliefs.
