I work with adults, couples, and families who are facing a wide range of issues, such as depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulty and the effects of major life transitions. My counseling approach focuses on assisting clients to develop healthy relationships, to work through individual, couple, and intergenerational trauma, and to understand unknown aspects of the self. We work together for you to develop greater insight, self-understanding, and healing, helping to build a vital sense of consciousness, authenticity, and meaning.

Do you feel "broken", like something is wrong with you? It is understandable we might feel this way when we have not had the support and unconditional positive regard we deserve. Having been a therapist for over 16 years, I strongly believe you are not broken or damaged - rather, you are on a journey of discovering your wholeness. Often times this journey requests we heal with others who may help us to see ourselves with compassion and understanding. Whether it’s couples counseling or individual therapy you are looking for, my hope is to create a nourishing environment to promote your personal goals and healing.

I enjoy helping individuals to discover more meaning and healthier connections in their lives. My specialties include trauma, grief and loss, relationship distress, domestic violence, mood disorders, gender non-conformity, and life transitions. I recognize that separate individuals can respond very differently to similar experiences. I will support you on your unique path to healing, helping you to self-reflect, explore emotional reactions, identify life patterns, and to recognize where you find meaning in your life.

Welcome to my practice. I am here to support families of all kinds from the beginning onward. I do this by creating “a home for emotional dwelling” where together we navigate the journey of pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, loss and other life experiences that forever change who we are. These shifts aren’t always easy. You may ask: "Who am I now? What kind of parent do I want to be? How do I move with grace into the unfolding of my life?" I will walk alongside you in your journey offering the support you need. We may explore issues including past trauma, family-of-origin, relational changes, and shifting identity.

Currently Accepting New Clients. What does it feel like to be heard, seen, and understood? To get to say out loud the things you've struggled with inside, and not feel alone? Perhaps there's a part of you that you're wondering about, or you've noticed patterns in your life that aren't serving you anymore. Maybe you are seeking a more joyful, fulfilling and authentic way of living, and are curious about what is left to be discovered of who you are and the life you want for yourself. My therapy practice is a space that is affirming of who you are, what you’ve experienced, the systems that impact you, and your feelings about it all.

Life can be challenging. Being an adult is challenging. We grow up imagining our ideal selves only to find that the world gives us obstacles along the way. Sometimes we are prepared for them; sometimes we are not. It can be hard to adjust, change directions, and repair or rebuild our lives. Whether it be a romantic relationship, friendships, issues with co-workers, or raising children, no one is built to face everything alone. . We all desire to be heard, valued, appreciated, and loved. We want to express ourselves, be seen for our authentic self, and be able to communicate and uphold boundaries to get our needs met.

I specialize in working with clients that try to manage life's pain with substances and other addictions. Many of my clients want to simply change their using habits and I work to support them weekly in understanding their intentions, feelings and motivations as they make healthy changes to their relationship with alcohol or other drugs. As we well know, many clients suffering from substance use disorders have a myriad of other issues that drive these compulsive coping mechanisms; I am experienced in many co-occuring issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma or grief.

In my training and career, I specialized in treating children with behavioral difficulties and adults suffering from anxiety, depression and stress. In working with children, my approach includes collaboratively working with the child and their family through their presenting issues and helping institute sustainable changes to foster individual growth in the child and relational growth in the family. This often includes psycho-education and coaching for parents in addition to individual therapy for the child. In working with adults I utilize a range of methods from existential to behavioral depending on the specific needs of the individual.

Not currently accepting new clients: I specialize in working with pregnant women and new mothers. The transition to motherhood is often exciting and joyous but also can be overwhelming, tiring and can lead to anxiety and depression. The support of a counselor during this time can be very helpful and can alleviate mental and emotional health challenges. I also specialize in working with women of all ages challenged with depression, anxiety, eating disorders or difficulty losing weight, chronic stress and fatigue. I offer free 20 minute consultations over the phone or zoom. For more information visit www.dr-genevieve-nd.com/

When daily life becomes overwhelming, we often disconnect from ourselves and others. As a therapist, I believe self-discovery and insight into one’s own process is not only necessary for growth, but the purest form of self compassion. With genuine compassion and support, I aim to provide a space, absent of judgments or assumptions, in which you can tune into your true self.

I work with individuals and couples and families not in high-conflict, typically those that feel stuck, but motivated to change that. Common symptoms include anxiety, depression, relational conflict overwhelm due to trauma and existential angst. We often know what we want to do, but struggle to do it; I will work with you to help you remove the barriers blocking your path. I also enjoy working with other therapists and clients who have found therapy minimally helpful in the past or who are specifically seeking to use IFS to increase choice in their life. At this time, I am only accepting in-person clients in Bellingham.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, confused, alone or misunderstood? Are you having difficulty communicating within your relationships, going through a big life transition or feeling pain and constriction from past traumas? During these times it is helpful to have someone listen and support you without judgement within a safe place. Everyone has a personal history that makes them unique with both strengths and vulnerabilities. I know the courage and perseverance it takes to face and feel the pain as well as embrace your gifts, strengths and light.

Currently accepting new clients: I hold the belief that positive change is possible when we are supported in identifying and harnessing strengths and building the capacity to understand ourselves more deeply and compassionately. Therapy begins with building a deep understanding of client experiences and hopes for counseling and collaborating to build a beneficial approach. I have over ten years of experience serving a wide range of clients and presenting issues. In addition to individual treatment, I have completed Gottman level II training to provide evidenced-based couple's counseling.

Although I do not provide ongoing therapy services, regardless of any potential diagnoses, I present recommendations for clients to learn new ways to manage their attention differences and learning challenges through behavioral and lifestyle interventions and by providing specific recommendations to their support system including parents and teachers.

It takes courage to ask for support. Coming this far is a victory in and of itself. You’re in touch with yourself enough to know that you need something to change, although you may not be certain yet of what that change should look like. Perhaps you need a shift in perspective during a difficult time. Maybe you need to learn to cope with challenging emotions. Perhaps it is your child who needs help and you need help learning how to help them. Whatever your need, you deserve an empathetic and dedicated guide to join you on your journey. You don't have to do this alone. Currently taking clients intermittently.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
