Therapists in Bremerton, WA

Hi all, let's talk about who you are, what you've experienced, and what you want to get to know about yourself. I believe that each person is fundamentally good and healthy and therapy can provide a space for clients to step more fully into who they are. I work with individuals ready to show up each session ready to engage, specializing in but not limited to, anxiety, support for healthcare workers, career counseling and religious deconstruction.

Hello! I'm Melissa Sincere, I completed my Master's in Counseling in 2020. In my approach to counseling; I integrate strength-base, humanistic, and solution-focus practices. I offer unwavering culturally sensitive support and understanding.

I have extensive knowledge working with patients with psychosis, substance use, and at high risk of suicide. Focusing on harm reduction, healthy coping skills, and recovery to live the best possible life. With my vast knowledge of the mental health system, I use various modalities toward treatment and don't believe a one size fit all in regard to interventions. I focus on a holistic approach to treatment as you are the expert in your own life. I am here to assist, listen and guide you towards your goals and dreams.

My specialized training in infant and early childhood mental health has provided me with a unique perspective on the importance of early interventions and the effects of trauma on a developing brain. I also have experience working with people whose minds and bodies work differently, and I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all of my clients.

Are you struggling in your relationship with your partner? Or, do you feel depressed or anxious much of the time? Does somone you care about have a substance abuse problem? I may be able to help.

As a transpersonal therapist and coach, the bulk of my work is holistic in nature. This means that we are working with your whole being (light and shadow, seen and unseen, conscious and unconscious, mind and soul) with the intention of healing old wounds and patterns—personally, ancestrally, collectively.

Congratulations for getting this far in your quest to enrich your life! Calling me (or any therapist) can be another challenging step. I offer a FREE 30-minute session to help you find the best person to assist you. My Therapeutic Approach revolves around you and your goals. My training supports our collaboration for your success attaining the life you want and deserve drawing on Family Systems Theory, Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), EMDR, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Voice Dialogue, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Processing (NLP), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), all within a holistic approach.

I work from a person-centered approach that draws from other theoretical techniques designed to address your individual needs and goals. The process of counseling is to understand you as a unique person; explore and gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behavior; and enhance quality of life by implementing parts of the counseling process into your daily living. Our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative and we will work together towards setting and meeting your counseling goals.

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.

Everyone no matter who they are are able to move past the darkness and trauma of their past, I am here to help rebuild and reshape thoughts and behaviors that have kept you in the dark. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to achieve their best version of themselves. Reaching out for help is the hardest step in therapy a person can take. By having an open mind and free space to help clients feel safe to express past traumas is essential to build a foundation to become the version each person has the right to show the world.

I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience that provides clients with the tools and insights they need to live more fulfilling lives.

There are three fundamental qualities essential in our journey to navigate the complexities of human experience: compassion, humor, and realism. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard, valued, and supported. I am committed to maintaining a safe, judgment-free environment. I believe in the healing power of laughter, and integrate humor into my work to help individuals cope with adversity and discover their inner strength. I also believe that a grounded sense of realism is important in developing and working toward our goals. We must first recognize who we are so we can become who we want to be.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

Currently, we have no availability for new clients and we are not using a wait list. We will update this when we have avaiability. We are available for associate therapist supervision. Our goal is to help associates gain their hours towards independent licensure while helping them develop their own private practice.

Does the gap between what you want out of life and where you are at currently leave you feeling symptoms of burnout or depression? When stress is overwhelming it can impact our self esteem and ability to move forward.

Together we can explore what you want for the road ahead-it's time to rediscover you!

As a therapist, my mission is to help you improve your over-all well being, enhance your ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, empower you with useful tools, and ultimately explore and address the obstacles that may be holding you back from the life you want to live. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision and a good fit is necessary to make effective progress. I try to be straightforward, without being harsh, and encouraging without applying any pressure. My clients find me to be warm, caring, down-to-earth, and, at times, humorous.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist associate and art therapist, I treat children, adolescents, couples and families in a collaborative process to explore concerns and challenges that have arisen in their lives. I work from a strength-based, family oriented perspective. I utilize opportunities to reframe negative family dynamics and emphasize positive strengths to find the possibility of hope.

I support individuals and couples through challenges and transitions to improve the quality of their lives. One focus of my practice is in Perinatal Mental Health (Pregnancy and Postpartum) including mood and anxiety disorders, depression, miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy or birth complications, trauma and grief, or difficulties bonding with your baby. I work with couples struggling with relationship issues including the impact having a baby has on a relationship, parenting challenges and healthy communication.
