I graduated from a M.S. mental health counseling program at Eastern Washington University in 1995, got certified and ran a private practice in Seattle from 1995 through 2003. I worked in an outpatient community clinic, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, at retreat centers, and at a college counseling center until starting work on a PhD in Religious Studies and Psychology. I worked, studied, and lived in Europe, East Asia, and Africa before teaching 10 years at San Jose State University, so I am comfortable and confident working with very different sorts of people and I want everyone and anyone to feel welcome and at ease in my care.
My general approach to counseling is short-term and solution-focused with special attention to the working alliance, emotional dynamics, articulating values and constructing meaning, I am also trained in gestalt techniques, clinical hypno-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, art therapy, psychodrama, motivational interviewing, CBT, and ACT.
I expect most of my clients to have a fitness routine, to practice good digital hygiene, and to do homework. Congratulations to you for having taken the first step in getting help for yourself and thank you for reading my profile. Wherever your path might lead, I am wishing you and yours the best in All Things. - Jeff D.

After 2-3 sessions, clients and I have worked out a working alliance or plan based on the client's explicit goals for therapy and the tasks or means to achieve those goals. We generally set a number of sessions per brief solution-focused psychotherapy and evaluate after their completion (sometimes 8, sometimes 12 or 16 sessions). Exercise, digital and sleep hygiene, and homework are included.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with homework practice is my standard approach until we figure out what will work best for you in your present circumstances. A strong working alliance is negotiated between clients and professionals within the first 2 or 3 sessions and includes a shared understanding of the therapy goals, the tasks to achieve them, and a mutual commitment to your success.
