Psychodynamic Therapists in Spokane Valley, WA

Have you ever felt misunderstood? Have you tried to create relationships that are supportive and don't know why it's not working? Do you have dreams you want to tap into, but are afraid to step outside your comfort zone? As a therapist, I strive to empower individuals to find and develop their authentic path. I want to work with you to find the obstacles in your way so we can work together to help you achieve your goals. I strive to help you create a balance between work and play, to assist with coping skills and self-soothing techniques and help you create self-care for your busy life.

I believe that healing can happen through the process of empathic and supportive counseling. I work with mood issues, personality disorders, grief, substance use and more. I utilize a culturally sensitive and holistic psychodynamic style of therapy. This approach encourages development in all areas of life, and pays special attention to unconscious factors, childhood upbringing, trauma, and cultural identity (race, religion, sexuality, gender, disability, etc). I am currently accepting clients for group therapy, that will combine the sport/art of crew rowing with group talk therapy. This is a powerful way of feeling connection.

It is a great privilege to be entrusted with the sacred work of helping individuals navigate life's issues. The therapeutic relationship is unlike any relationship one will experience anywhere because, in the therapy room, they are unconditionally valued and empathically listened to with their best interests in mind, free from hidden agendas, discrimination, or personal gain. In this safe environment, clients are encouraged to develop compassionate curiosity toward the pieces of their life story, which grants insight into their present functioning and is an essential part of their growth journey.

There is no substitute for tending to our personal and relational experiences; it is likely the reason you are reading this. Welcome! From my experience, when we desire a deeper engagement with life or significant problems arise, often something within us wants our attention. When we pay attention to our feelings and actions rather than focus on events or people, we frequently discover the "How" of creative change. Sometimes change means behaving in unfamiliar ways, adapting to limitations, or relating differently to our partner. Hence, my approach embraces the wisdom and direction that problems and desires provide within each person.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself.

I understand entering psychotherapy is an important decision and may stir up many feelings. Working through them can be a transformative process that has the potential for healing and growth. Psychotherapy provides you with a confidential forum to explore your life, solve problems and receive relief from emotional distress. The essence of psychotherapy resides in the relationship that is created as we talk together about your concerns. Psychotherapy works because talking together about your life, from a therapeutic stance, creates a healing bond. As this bond develops and deepens, you will be able to more clearly understand your emotional blueprint.

Hi there! My name is Wes Walton. I have a passion for therapy grounded in scripture and deeply value the power of relationships in our lives. I believe they greatly influence the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. In turn creating patterns of behavior and relationships we desire to change. I have experience working with various traumas, marital conflict, families, men's issues, father wounds, spiritual difficulties and challenges relating to God. While Christian/Biblically focused therapy is my passion, I welcome all no matter the difference in beliefs.

I have over ten years of experience working with teens and adults under 50. Most of my clients, both male and female, are in some form of transition in their lives. These transitions present themselves as maturation struggles, changing relationships, questioning perspectives, contemplating choices, and finding difficulty with what currently faces them in their lives. These are the times when a trusted assistant is helpful. My clients need to know that they have a safe place, without judgement, to work through their struggles. I provide trust, support, education, and new skills training with each client.

Lately, life feels like an endless grind. You have lots of responsibilities and you don't see them vanishing anytime soon. You can identify with some or all of these feelings – depressed, anxious, emotionally volatile, flat, heavy, exhausted, nervous, depleted, unmotivated. It’s likely that you’ve tried a number of different things to help yourself – self-help books, “wellness” podcasts, yoga, medication, even therapy. While these things may have helped somewhat, you still find yourself struggling to feel joy, ease and contentment on a consistent basis. In fact, you hate to admit it but hopelessness is a familiar friend.

Are you unable to enjoy life or achieve goals because of the pain and turmoil you feel inside? Do you feel bound by fear? Emotional, spiritual and physical pain can leave you feeling unable to cope with and enjoy life. You're not alone; I'd like to help.
