Stress Therapists in Anacortes, WA
Successful therapy means that an individual or couple learns to better cope with the stresses of life through embracing flexibility, curiosity, and courage.
Sessions with me will include open and honest conversations about your past and present while of course exploring and helping you to create your hopes for the future. I begin helping you, or you and your partner, from an understanding that growth and change can be both scary and exciting. I meet my clients wherever they are, and work with them in a non-judgmental and supportive manner to build a life of meaning, both in relationship to themselves and in relationship to others.

If you are having difficulty coping with the loss of a loved one; have experienced sexual or other types of abuse; if you feel sad, anxious or worried most of the time; if you are having conflict in a personal, marital or family relationship; if you want to improve your parenting skills, or just want to learn how to manage stressful living, I can help you.
Serving as a minister and earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology equipped me to care for people in crises. Working with vulnerable children and their families or caregivers, also proved to be a valuable foundation for clinical care. In a medical academic setting, training residents in the use of spirituality and psychology as they cared for their patients, deepened my own understanding of just how complex clinical issues can become. This also increased my understanding of the level of stress healthcare providers and victims themselves experience during illness.

We cannot escape from the challenges and stressors that life brings.
I am accepting new clients! Are you seeking honest and useful feedback? Stuck in thoughts, feelings or behaviors that are causing distress? Are "blind spots" causing conflict in a relationship? My counseling practice is guided by 3 core beliefs: (1) Past or current emotional stress often creates imbalance in behavior, feelings or perception. (2) Awareness of the origins of imbalance and how it manifests in your relationship with yourself or others is necessary for change/relief. (3) A compassionate listener with life experience, can facilitate self-reflection, personal responsibility, and a feeling of positive movement.

My passion and focus is retraining the brain and nervous system; be it for chronic pain, trauma or helping our kids/partners feel safe. I have found, through over 20 years of exploring what does create a more gentle lived experience, is connecting deeply to ourselves and applying the latest neuroscience techniques to regulate ours and others nervous systems. Though mental health practitioners often help chronic pain patients cope with the stress of their symptoms, they can do much more. We can actually help treat the pain directly with Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Heart is free access for all - tools on Instagram: jeniquiggtherapy.

I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore the issues that matter most to you. Sessions might involve us talking about what's currently going on, while also taking time for you to pay attention to how you physically experience your emotions and what those emotions are trying to tell you.
