"I believe everyone has a right to live a calm, happy and fulfilled life. For some, that is easier said than done. For those who are having a more challenging time finding the life they want, counseling may be the right choice to help guide those who are ready for change. I work with teens, adults, couples and families who are struggling with life's challenges. I offer researched based systems, therapies and support for the individual, as well as resources for the entire family, to help bring function and joy to their lives."

"Welcome to Thrive Counseling. I am here to offer a place for healing and restored hope: A place to Thrive! Because of some of my most challenging experiences as a child, an adult, wife and mother, in addition to my experience in ministry leadership, I pursued counseling as a career. My goal as a therapist is to give you the room to grow and find the courage for change. Together, we can work to find the skills needed for a new and exciting therapeutic transformation."

"ALL scheduling is ONLY via my website www.heidihalsey.com, where you register & schedule appointments. Email or text me at 253-446-9222 re openings today & tomorrow AFTER you register. *Evening appointments AFTER your first appointment. I am in Puyallup ONLY, face to face only. No video calls. I am not a therapist who just says "uh huh", "uh-huh" & "how does that make you feel" and "I'll see you next week". I will ask questions to find the root of what you want to change or understand. I make suggestions & teach skills as a respectful professional while maintaining your confidentiality."

"I work with adult men and women of any age who are ready and motivated to change. I especially enjoy working with folks struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, challenges associated with change, grief and loss and those struggling with relationships both at home and in the work place."

"I am currently not accepting new clients "

"I believe the choice to find the right counselor is deeply personal and I strive to honor this. I respect that you are the expert on your own life and my role is to support and help you to seek the solutions to life's struggles that are unique to you. As a solution focused therapist, it is important to me to partner with you in order to develop the right set of tools you will use to begin making forward progress towards your identified goals."

"These strengths describe my work as a therapist: Personal Encourager, Life Coach, Thoughtful Companion, and Resourceful Ally. I bring a life experience that remains open to your life experience. I value what you want for your life. I respect how you currently live your life, your current concerns, what you think and feel, what you have discovered as blocks and helps to your goals. I believe that Counseling can help many clients identify, clarify, and move toward specific goals. I value linking the mind, heart, body, and spirit to encourage the best outcomes."

"I have been meeting with individuals, couples and families since 2001. I began my career working for a nonprofit community mental health agency working with youth and their families. In 2009 I started my private practice in Puyallup and have worked in this community since this time. In my practice I have enjoyed working with a variety of populations including teenagers, adults and particularly couples. It is incredibly rewarding to witness the transformations people can make when they invest in creating change for themselves."

"Guiding your children to a positive future is the most challenging and rewarding role you will ever fill. However, sometimes our children don't understand their emotions or have the coping skills to face life's challenges. I have devoted over 20 years working in a variety of settings to help children and families better understand themselves and strengthen their relationships. Some of my experiences include private practice therapy, school counseling (kindergarten through graduation) and I am currently a behavior intervention consultant with the White River School District."

"Are you having difficulty coping with stress or life transition? Are your relationships with your significant other, family, or coworkers less than desirable? Maybe you feel depressed or anxious. Life can be difficult at times without help from someone else. I have 10 years of experiencing providing counseling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. Let me help you discover your strengths and get things back on track."

"Hi, I have worked with hurting people for a long time and my hope is to support you through this difficult, possibly overwhelming time in your life. Your struggle is unique and personal and I respect your need to feel understood. During our first visit, I will simply listen and seek to understand what is causing you sorrow, anxiety, hurt, or anger. Together we will work towards wholeness and my firm hope is that I can help you find that place in life again where you are at peace with yourself and your situation."

"I help individuals and couples create and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I provide a supportive environment for clients to practice skills designed to enhance personal, relational, and professional satisfaction. I help people who are hurting after the loss of loved ones and difficult changes in their life. For example, death of a spouse, divorce, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. Additionally, I am familiar with the challenges of military families, deployment, and first responders. The unique cultural challenges of these groups and how therapy can help normalize and reduce mental distress for families and individuals."

"Symptoms of emotional distress, don't just come out of nowhere. As we go through life, our bodies alert us about whether to go towards something that seems safe or away from something that seems dangerous. Over time, we can learn to be afraid of, or numb to body sensations. By practicing mindfulness together, I can help you learn to deal with activating sensations in your body and tap into flows of information leading to profound insights about yourself and your life."

"Are you in need of a change in your life? Are you struggling in your current relationships at home or at work? Do you feel like you don't know what to do? Taking the first step towards change and growth can be hard. Talking to someone can be very powerful. You already have the capacity to be happy and productive. I can help you to make the changes needed to have a healthy, strong, and poductive life."

"I have worked with individuals, couples, and families as a psychotherapist, intuitive healer and energy worker in Pierce County, Washington for over 20 years. My work tends to the deep needs of the soul and addresses the most basic ego scripts so that you can rediscover your true voice, reconnect with your healthiest sense of self and remember your deepest callings--and then find the freedom to seek and find your best and highest self. I facilitate both Family Constellations and Organizational (business) Constellations in evening and weekend workshops that open you to engage with your deepest creativity and free you from repeating negative patterns."

"Out of all the strengths my clients bring to the counseling relationship, I mostly appreciate a strong motivation to change and an openness to see things in a different way. Addiction and the chaos that accompanies such a disorder can often blind a person to the possibility of actually having a life worth living. It is during those times of despair and loss, a skilled listener and counselor can be most helpful."

"I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, trauma recovery, loss and grief, as well as crisis and life transitions. I help individuals and couples recover from painful experiences, overcome barriers that interfere with relationships and wellbeing, and find healthy, satisfying approaches to problems."

"<<My practice is now FULL.>> Elpis Counseling was established to reconnect disconnected couples and help heal relationship wounds! Over time couples can get detached, resulting in feelings of loneliness, resentment, or despair. Getting stuck in rigid patterns can lead you to wondering if you married the wrong person. I will help you and your partner stop working against one another and instead, work as a team against the problem. Together, you can learn new patterns which will foster trust and intimacy. You can find connection again! **I am also a WA state Approved Supervisor and provide clinical supervision for Associates.**"

""Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it" - Audre Lorde. I hope to build healing relationships with people who would like to build more connection, ease and freedom into their lives. I work relationally and through the body by building self awareness, doing standing and seated practices, and if appropriate, supportive touch."
