Therapists in Nampa, ID

I primarily work with clients who have suffered trauma and want to reduce their struggles with the memory. These include molestation, rape, assault, car wrecks, injuries or fights. I also work with people who are depressed, anxious or grieving. I work with people who struggle with addictive or compulsive behaviors such as pornography use, infidelity, excessive internet use, or excessive alcohol use - whether these are issues spurred on by past traumas or not. Although we sometimes are not too sure what we want in life I work to help clients make decisions which will help them thrive.

Welcome to Storyboard Counseling! My name is Javin (like Gavin with a ‘J’), and I appreciate you stopping by. You are already showing great strength in reaching out for help in seeking counseling support. In the creation of films, tv shows, video games, and other mediums, storyboards are used to show potential events of a story, a “rough draft” in images of what is going to happen. Some panels on a storyboard are locked in and cannot be changed. However, there are many elements of a story that can evolve and change in its making.

Do you feel stuck? Like things are not going the way you planned. Your relationship is in conflict, your finances are causing you stress, you feel isolated or alone. Maybe you have experienced trauma or loss in your life or find that you are always getting involved in relationships or careers that are not reciprocal. There are a lot of life circumstances that people may reach out for. Maybe you just need some external validation or to engage in positive mindset training. I work with all types of situations in a non-judgemental space so that you can heal yourself, your relationship or your life's purpose.

"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else." There are way too many good quotes from Mr Rogers. He certainly had a way with words and valuable insight that he was fortunately able to share with the world for quite some time. I want to help others to find and understand their own strengths that they may use when they are faced with struggles. Whether you are young or old, experienced or not, you have a strength and sometimes we need a little help finding it. You can visit my website and click "Book Now" which will take you to view my availability as well.

Anxiety and past experiences don’t have to stand in the way of the future you want. If trauma, depression, or old patterns are making it difficult to move forward, therapy can help. You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I offer a grounded, practical approach that combines warmth, insight, and evidence-based tools. Healing begins in connection, and I focus on creating a space where you feel supported and understood.

Are you someone that has briefly considered counseling but decided against it due to negative past experience, difficulty opening up, worry you’ll be judged or make the situation worse? You’re not alone. The negative stigma surrounding counseling has been a deterrent for many individuals that desire a happier and more fulfilling life. Fortunately, as a counselor that is determined to empower each and every client to overcome their individual challenges with anxiety, depression, self-defeating thoughts or sexual behavioral issues, I recognize and understand your concerns and challenge you to give me the chance to ease your mind.

Available appointment only in early afternoon and morning currently. I feel privileged to be able to accompany people on their journey in life. As a counselor, I provide a non-judgmental, non-biased, safe space for clients to explore what they want for their life and how they want to feel about themselves. My intention is for you to create your own goals in your life that reflect what you intentionally want. Those goals look different for every person. Some examples are: a new sense of self, gaining new perspectives, discovering strengths, and learning to communicate effectively.

Generally, life is good. But lately, things feel different. The stress is relentless; instead of feeling fulfilled, you feel drained. It’s like you’re running on autopilot—numb when others are feeling… well, anything. The weight of balancing work, life, and the expectations you place on yourself has become overwhelming.
I’ve been there. I’ve worked as an Emergency and Intensive Care nurse since 2011, witnessing firsthand the struggles that come with high-pressure, high-stakes careers. I know the emotional toll, the exhaustion, and the quiet battles that no one else seems to see.

I have been working with individuals and families for 18+ years. I practice from the belief that we often have barriers that block us from experiencing the fullness of life-relationally, spiritually, and biologically. In my office you will find a welcoming, open, and non-judgmental place to explore yourself and your life. I have lived in many countries around the world and practice from an approach that values each person's individual cultural and values. I obtained my BA from Northwest Nazarene University and my graduate degree at Eastern Washington University. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I help people get rid of old emotional pain, regardless of what symptoms they are experiencing. Old pain can affect thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and present as any of a multitude of symptoms. Chronic depression, anxiety or anger are very common, as are addictions, compulsions and obsessions. Internal sabotage, broken thinking, and self-limiting beliefs prevent people from being successful. Cutting, promiscuity and other self-destructive behaviors

You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim. Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!"
