Stress Therapists in East Wenatchee, WA

Welcome to Kathrens Counseling Services... I'm Julie! As a clinician I like to take a relaxed, person-centered approach. It is not my goal to rush clients into progress, but to help them find strategies to create lasting and positive change in their lives. I've found that psychoeducation is foundational to clients making progress in counseling because the more a person understands their own experiences, the better they can address their concerns. As we move forward, I will work with you to identify your strengths and values to create customized self-care and strategies so you can achieve your wellness goals! (Ages 13 and up.)

Are feelings of hopelessness, unworthiness, shame, stress, grief, guilt, anxiety or depression stopping you from living the life you desire? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward?

I am a licensed, nationally board-certified counselor whose focus is client centered. Many of us at some point in our lives experience events which leave us feeling powerless or hopeless. It can be beneficial to find someone outside of your family and social network when wanting to discuss these experiences. My role as your therapist is to listen, ask questions and assist you in finding resolutions that are relevant. Trust is an important piece in developing a comfortable working relationship in therapy. It is an honor to participate in your journey. For more information please view my website.

Come as you are... Leave Different. It is a privilege to come alongside individuals as they challenge themselves to overcome anxieties, self-doubt and old habits that are limiting and discouraging. Are you stuck in entrenched patterns of thinking or behaviors? As a cognitive behavioral clinical psychologist, I offer a wide array of proven Tools for Change. For both individuals and couples, I will equip, encourage and support. Together, we will focus on challenging unhelpful habits; creating forward motion into increased integrity and vibrancy. You have the capacity the change stagnant behaviors and patterns of thinking. I can help.

You are just not the same anymore after it happened. You now struggle to sleep, find connection with others, or ultimately experience joy in your life. You are stressed and you wish you could stop thinking about the event(s) but somehow you cannot turn your thoughts away. Perhaps you find yourself avoiding certain topics, places, or people because they remind you too much of what happened. You long to be the person you once were and to have the life you once had. You are tired, worn out, and you need to somehow find a way forward in your life.

Whether it's stress and anxiety, feeling depressed, relationship issues, or navigating through life's transitions, we will work together to discover your goals, values, and strengths as an individual and within your relationships. I assist clients in strengthening their relationships with others and themselves, and in developing and deepening meaning in their lives. By creating a collaborative relationship built on a foundation of trust, safety, and hope, we will work together to help you learn to recognize emotional and relational needs and how you can effectively communicate those emotions and needs to others.

Overwhelmed and stressed out? Triggered by things that you feel like you "should" be able to handle more calmly? Maybe you know how you want to live but keep finding yourself reacting in the moment. It's challenging to understand the things that set you off and to take the steps you long for alone. It would be easier if you had a compassionate guide to help you understand why you keep slipping up and to help develop tools to empower you to make the changes you desire. You're looking for someone who challenges you, but is still easy to talk to, someone who's on your team.

As we venture through life, sometimes we find that the expectations we set for ourselves, our partners, and the future are constantly changing. My hope is to ease you through life’s transitions while enriching the relationships you have. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing place to put down the weights and ease into meaningful conversations. I enjoy working together with clients to identify their strengths, explore ways to reconnect with themselves and others to move forward in ways that feel genuine.

Are you struggling to make necessary changes during difficult times of your life? Are you a caregiver that is "running on empty" all the time? Are your health challenges making you feel like you are existing rather than living? Sometimes, these issues requires some guidance, introspection and support that an authentic, warm and professional therapy space can offer. As a licensed psychologist I would be honored to offer that space, one that feels safe to discuss what may be distressing you.
