I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, grief, and
trauma

Life can be tedious and overwhelming, especially when we do it with kids, work, and family. Even if we look around and see that “nothing is actually wrong in our lives”, we may still feel sad, lonely, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy can be very helpful in gaining the internal tools needed to cope better with our lives.

Lastly, I am trained in therapies most effective for healing
trauma
(EMDR, CPT), restoring your hope.
Adversity, while a common experience, is not easy to navigate. Due to ongoing problems, life transitions, or acute events you might feel anxious, depressed or distressed. Experiencing isolation, distraction, sadness, changes in appetite, sleeplessness, irritability, worry, and/or other changes can take a toll on different areas of life. Relationships might be the source of your problems or are being negatively impacted by your stress. Our work together will improve how you feel, increase understanding of yourself, and identify long-term solutions.

trauma
, mood disorders, personality disorders, loss, and life transitions.
**Not accepting new clients** I provide a warm, non-judgmental space for you to explore emotions and experiences that may be impacting your mood, thoughts, and ability to navigate life’s transitions. Often, things happen, or don’t happen, which leave us feeling stuck. I help clients explore “what now” and “what next” and assist them in moving forward in their personal growth.

Jen Hackler, LCSW, SEP
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C, SEP
Verified
My extensive psychotherapy training with Washington School of Psychiatry, Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis, and Institute for
Trauma
Healing informs my work.
In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.
Laurie Ann Persh
Counselor, LCPC, CCMHC, LMFT, EAS-C
Verified
Much of my work and interest has focused on moving beyond
trauma
and loss, which we all experience, whether large or small; codependency, women's and relationship issues, and cross-cultural understanding.
Sometimes it helps just to have a caring nonjudgmental person to talk to and bounce ideas off. Sometimes, people need a gentle push along with clear steps to take to make things better. After over 35 years working with clients from children to adult, public and private settings, I have learned what differences to respect and what common themes and needs to honor for all human beings. Throughout my career as a counselor/psychotherapist, my strength continues to be my ability to understand human nature. I share with my clients knowledge, respect, and guidance. It is a two way learning process.
