Teletherapy for Richland, WA

Hi, my name is Mary Jane Poulson; I go by "Jane". I have worked in the helping profession for over 30 years with a primary focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety and trauma. I have worked with issues ranging from chronic mental disorders to major life stressors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to feel comfortable enough to share your inner most thoughts and feelings, and how emotional distress and unhelpful thinking can contribute to dysfunctional behaviors and conflicted relationships, perpetuating your pain. When friends or family aren't enough to help, it's time to find a professional you can trust.

Feeling overwhelmed? We all do at times. Current openings with 25+ years of experience in teaching, counseling, and business consulting.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Pressures from work, people we care about, negative feelings, and/or physical problems interfere with our ability to be our best. I am here to help you. I will work with you in a sensitive, respectful, and caring way to improve your situation. My goal is to help you build your confidence and resilience, gain a mental edge so you can be your best, and deal with stress. I can also help you improve your relationships, develop a more effective communication style, and eliminate unhealthy habits. I believe life it too short to be miserable.

My approach is to provide psycho-education on a number of different topics as they come up organically so that you can learn in conjunction with healing. I use a trauma-informed care approach and aim to keep the therapeutic space as safe as possible: I take this very seriously and know safety must be present in order for true work to happen. You are the one who ultimately decides where we go and my ultimate role is to be right by your side on your journey of healing and exploration.
