Therapists in Indianola, WA

**Not currently accepting new clients. Please contact me if you'd like to be added to my waitlist.* Some of my clients find me after a lifetime of perfectionism and self-judgement, working (too) hard to make everything seem okay from the outside and paying (too) high a price for doing it. Some find me because they have experienced, or witnessed, something horrific or traumatic. Some find me because intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are starting to take over their lives. Some find me because the stress of their job is becoming too much. And some find me because they feel shame and anguish around sex or their bodies.

I Am Accepting New Clients. Are you facing changes in your life, grappling with difficult decisions, or wanting to build better relationships? Are you looking for a therapist who will listen with compassion and without judgement, and who will teach you effective practical tools for your problems? An outside, neutral person to help you find a new perspective?

Things don’t have to feel this way forever. I work with adults who struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety, and who feel lost in life. Life is challenging, and those challenges often become part of who we are, following us and continuing to haunt us long after they have passed. These things can feel so intertwined with who we are that it feels impossible to see the world without them. Let's work together to find new ways of meeting your goals and exploring your life.

Bring gritty emotional honesty, a kind, sharp eye for themes in your life and your sense of humor. We'll work to understand nuances of your unique situation, utilize insights from your relationship history and symptoms and experiment with patterns that hold you back. I love to help mid-life adults with life transitions. My French Bulldog joins us! (We are both GLBTQ+ friendly.) Most people get stuck analyzing problems and are slow to take action OR they leap to action before gaining insight. I'll help you strike the right balance, so you create lasting change.

Hello! Welcome, and thank you for being here. While it’s certainly possible that you enjoy reading therapist profiles just for fun, it’s more likely that you are here looking for help of some kind. Without being indifferent to your suffering, please allow me to say, congratulations! It can be uncomfortable to admit that you are not feeling your best and to decide to ask for help. I hope you are also feeling empowered as you make the pivot towards healing and recovery.

If you are struggling with a relationship, familial issues, a difficult life transition, or just struggling to get through the day-to-day then it is a good time to ask for help.I believe that it is never too late to start counseling and that counseling is a unique experience for everyone.Some people might go to counseling weekly for years, some might go to sessions weekly for 6 months and then transition to biweekly, some might be going to counseling for the first time, and some might be looking for a new counselor.All these experiences are valid, and my goal is to help you figure out what works for you and what you want to achieve.

You may be ready to make a change, yet are unsure of which way to move or feel too frozen to take a step. Perhaps it is overwhelming to inhabit your body or revisit the past, you fear that you’ll be flooded by sensations or memories. Maybe a part of you wants to connect with others and another part worries that you'll just be hurt again. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I believe that you have the innate capacity for healing within you. Therapy is a way to cultivate the right conditions for healing seeds to bloom. I aim to create a warm and accepting space - one that can foster insight, growth, belonging, and even joy.

I am a queer, sex-positive therapist with a passion for helping folks find greater ease, possibility, and liberation in their lives. Life and relationships are not one-size-fits-all; I help my clients to discover their own authentic truth and desires in the realms of sexuality, relationships, identity, work, creativity, spirituality, and more. I support my clients- individuals, couples, and polycules- in finding their own unique joy, fulfillment, and authentic path.

I am passionate about social justice and equity issues affecting historically disadvantaged groups. I work with individuals and families, to help promote growth, change, healing and/or insight. In our therapeutic partnership, we will focus on celebrating your achievements, envision a desirable future, then map out the small/large changes necessary to realize and actualize your vision.

I work with adults primarily on issues related to trauma. Trauma often involves lack of control over a situation, so as part of the work, I help my clients regain their sense of power and choice in our sessions. Safety, non-judgement, and kindness are valued in my practice as the foundations of the therapeutic work, and I encourage open communication about the client’s experience with therapy. I offer a flexible approach to counseling because I believe that what works for some of my clients may not work for others, and we learn what that looks like as we work together.

I am a therapist with ADHD, so I love working with clients who have ADHD. I think our similar brains strengthen our understanding of each other and therefore our therapeutic connection. I will never tell you to just “try harder” or “buy a planner” or other things that neurotypicals have said to you (although I do love some good office supplies). Everyone with ADHD is different and deserves personalized exploration of their needs and barriers to help manage symptoms and achieve functioning goals. I also love working with couples who have ADHD, including mixed neurotype couples who are working to better understand one another.

I have partnered with Mindful Therapy Group for scheduling and billing. To schedule an appointment, please call (425) 640-7009 x1

I have been a committed therapist for children/teenagers. My expertise involves assisting children from challenging backgrounds, including those in foster care, runaways, and children of divorced parents. I have received thorough training in managing internet gaming addiction and aiding teenagers in establishing a positive relationship with technology and gaming. Through incorporating playfulness, creativity, and meeting individuals at their level, I aim to establish a secure environment for building significant relationships and fostering transformative growth. Join me on a path towards personal development and empowerment!

Hi, I’m Dave. I’m passionate about helping people develop skills to feel empowered, understand themselves, & be resilient in navigating life’s challenges. I’m a good therapist for adults & older teens struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, chronic pain, a lack of direction in life or similar types of personal challenges . My overall goal is to help you achieve new ways of responding to the demands of life & to help you explore your thoughts, feelings & behaviors to develop effective strategies for growth. At the same time being sensitive & compassionate to the way your physical functioning may interact with your well-being.

The best way to face our struggles is to see them, and ourselves, with tons of compassion. We have the ability to imagine and to create our lives exactly how we truly want to live them. However, to live the life we truly desire, it takes courage and strength. Therapy can be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. My work is collaborative and strength based. I am an AASECT Sex Therapist, and a certified Integrated Intimacy Professional trained in a holistic approach to sexuality and intimacy.

Accepting in-person clients at Mindful Therapy Group's Fremont location on Tuesdays to Fridays. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story and how you came be the way you are today. Are you a creative person who feels stuck with the rigid expectations of school or work stressors? Together, we can identify your internal strengths and what motivates you to form a path to healing and anxiety relief.

**NOTE: wait list available. Self-improvement. Relationship issues. Anxiety. Unhelpful thoughts or behaviors. These are some of the concerns that bring people, just like you, to my counseling practice. I value and work with the strengths, imperfections, gifts, genetics, history and humanity of each person or family, as these aspects inform and shape who we are. I support clients in identifying a values-based direction for positive change and explore both what motivates change and the barriers that are getting in the way. Together, we create a road map to a healthier life for you or your family.

**NEW CLIENTS - Please email me** No one deserves to live in pain. For therapy to work, you need three things: curiosity about yourself and your interactions with others, an authentic connection with your therapist, and concrete, practical tools and skills to promote real and lasting change. My job is to facilitate an understanding of what is causing you pain and getting in your way of creating your best life. As your therapist, I don’t “just listen.” I use an integrative approach, combining several modalities to create the most effective treatment for each client. I practice remote therapy with individual adults.
