Adults Therapists in Boise, ID

My experience is that people learn, grow, and change in the context of an accepting and caring relationship. The client-counselor relationship provides that opportunity. For more than 10 years I have enjoyed working with young people and their families to understand and work on their personal, relationship, and parenting goals. I try to bring a fresh perspective and a non-judgemental attitude to each session. My clients can expect empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuiness from me. They can also expect the knowledge and wisdom of a seasoned therapist.

I view counseling as a supportive and collaborative partnership where I assist you with working through difficult challenges. Together we will work to develop the emotional safety and support you need to make the changes you want. I know it can be hard to make changes and even hard to ask for help sometimes. I offer a compassionate, welcoming and affirming perspective backed up with tools and skills for problem resolution. With a respectful, caring and challenging environment you are able to achieve your goals.

I use a strengths-based approach in therapy and believe that an important part of my role is to provide a safe environment and to work in partnership with clients to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Life can be hard.

Today youth are susceptible to many complicated factors that effect their ability to maintain good mental health. I work with teens and young adults to give them tools and a roadmap to navigate through the modern world they live in, being better able to think independently, identify values and meaning in their life, and challenge the noise all around them. Taken together this allows them freedom in their actions, coherence in their goals, and unity and cohesion in their self view.

I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and young adult women, and my work often focuses on overcoming behavioral problems, emotional concerns, and relationship challenges. My first priority is always to develop a safe and comfortable relationship which serves as the basis to begin exploring the more challenging aspects of life. I have an outgoing personality which helps children and teens become interested and engaged, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with these age groups. Ultimately, I want to help clients clearly identify specific obstacles, learn how to overcome them, and then move on to accomplish their goals.

Hello, I have been working in the field of mental health for 6 years and specifically been doing therapy and counseling for the last 2 and a half years. My belief is that life is too short to sit in a place of discomfort, let trauma control us, or to struggle with mental health continuously. I want to help you to process life experiences which may be causing you emotional pain and challenges. My focus is to support individuals in all phases of life to find healing and understanding in difficult situations through developing their personal strengths and processing negative symptoms.

If you take two things from this profile, please take heart in this: Hope is possible and there is a purpose for your life no matter how hard it feels. I believe you can experience life wholeheartedly! Sometimes we just need a trusting, therapeutic relationship and a judgement free space to help process feelings, memories, or current experiences. As a previous high school teacher, I have a passion for working with teens/young adults . These formative years are tough for everyone. Helping teens and parents navigate these stressful years is exactly what I love to do.

Navigating this thing called life is not easy. We all go through struggles and need a listening ear, reassurance, and help sometimes. It takes courage to take those first steps toward change as we seek to find a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, and increase their confidence. Through collaboration, I will assist you in identifying your stressors and coping strengths, as you build new skills and move toward healing and gaining a more balanced life.

I believe anxiety, depression, loneliness, and other uncomfortable emotions to be part of the human condition. In our time together, you will learn not only how to radically accept these components of the human condition, but how to cope with them. You may even surprise yourself in how you become comfortable with these emotions, so that they no longer have power or control over you. One of my aims is for you to be in the driver's seat of your life; you are not the passenger. You have the agency and freewill to engage in new adaptive thought patterns and behaviors.
