Therapists in Boise, ID

My role as a counselor is to develop a client relationship that is collaborative with nonjudgmental, empathetic, and culturally responsive support. I believe that individuals grow and change when they find it safe to develop their authentic self. The counseling relationship provides a trusted and secure climate to share thoughts and feelings in confidence. Counseling works best when you and your counselor develop a good working relationship, based on mutual trust, honesty, and respect. Together we will identify appropriate counseling goals and strengths already sourced within you.

Life can sometimes be really hard. Sometimes by our own doing, sometimes because of someone else, and sometimes you just don't feel 'right'. These bumps (or mountains sometimes!) can be tough to get through. Whether it's you, your marriage or relationship, or your family that is struggling, I want to work together with you to get you back to where you need to be. I value authenticity and desire to be 'real' with my clients.

Life can be difficult... Stress from work, relationships, and other life experiences may leave a person feeling alone or lacking support. This stress often has adverse and unwanted effects on overall well-being and is important to address. The counseling relationship provides an opportunity to be supported in a safe environment with a counselor who is open, responsive, and accepting of you and your lived experiences. Counseling can be seen as a relational tool in working towards the life you've been wanting for yourself, whether it looks like managing mental health symptoms or realizing your goals.

(EXCLUSIVELY TELEHEALTH) Mental wellness is a cornerstone of living a full and joyful life. However, sometimes life circumstances can leave us feeling overwhelmed and out of control.

I focus on individual and couples counseling with adults. My approach to counseling centers on promoting self-compassion and an exploration of self-talk. Together, we will explore emotional and thinking patterns to identify the core experiences and beliefs driving emotional distress as well as the development of essential coping skills to manage life stressors. In couples counseling, we will focus on building effective emotional connections between partners, clear communication, and exploring emotional blocks to

Therapy is a path of self-discovery and healing. By choosing to start on your journey you discover more about yourself then you ever thought possible.

Is school becoming to stressful, are you seeing isolation, depression or other concerns? Now is the time to reach out and begin, I would be honored to be apart of your journey.

Counseling is a pretty scary idea. Often, the clients that I work with have not experienced a safe relationship in a long time. The idea of sitting in a room and sharing your life story with someone seems like a recipe for betrayal and pain. At some point, though, the need for healing outweighs that risk and you choose to start working towards wellness. It is an uncomfortable, heavy, and ultimately extremely rewarding journey. I'm ready to get started with you.

A psychiatrist with whom I work has described my therapeutic style as "artistic". Mine is not a sing-songy, head weaving, "how does that make you feel?" therapeutic approach. Rather, I respect the fact that my patients are presenting problems that necessitated their appointment. Problems have solutions. This is important work. I believe therapy should be an active process. My sessions are almost always active and highly engaging. This is the work of solution discovery. I believe people have their own answers. These answers reside within them. We actively and collaboratively seek these answers. Arthur Hamblin, Psy.D.

Accepting NEW clients. Whether this is your first time seeking a therapist, you feel uneasy about addressing personal issues, or you have seen therapists in the past, I want to make the therapeutic environment comfortable and welcoming for you.
