Female Therapists in Camas, WA

Accepting new clients. My goal is to support women and couples who are navigating major life transitions, anxiety, perinatal mental health, and breaking unhealthy generational cycles. In our work together, my hope is to restore a sense of peace, build inner resilience, and establish a sense of hope through meaningful relationship and support. We will explore early attachments, core beliefs, themes, and their impact on current life challenges. We will also work to identify harmful thinking patterns that cause anxiety and stress to give you tools to think more clearly and experience more peace in your everyday life.

**Currently not accepting new clients** Hello there! I am passionate about joining those on a journey to better relationships, emotional health, clear thinking, and living a fulfilled life. I enjoy working with those who are motivated to change because I believe that people have the ability to grow and flourish into who they want to be. Past relational and emotional pain often cripples thinking, relationships and ourselves which can leave us in an unhealthy and negative way we view the world. Through compassionate exploration of self and relationship to others to heal hurts, it can be well.

Are you feeling alone, ashamed or disconnected and feel like no one else understands what you are going through? Do you struggle to know who you are or what you stand for? There are reasons that you are feeling this way. I am here to help explore why you feel stuck and give you a way out of your pain. I have a passion to help women find their true essence by collaborating with them so they live out their full potential. I specialize in helping them understand how past trauma shaped their self-perception and impacted how they relate to the world. You can change old coping mechanisms and live life filled with connection, love and joy.

We are a group of dynamic therapists, in multiple Washington state locations. Our goal was to create a place for you to settle in and tell your story. Everybody has one, and we want to hear yours. Counseling is a process that encourages you to examine your choices, your thoughts, your dreams, your barriers and your pain in an effort to create the positive change you are seeking in your life. We believe that successful counseling is a collaborative experience between you and your therapist; that finding the right fit is vital to that success.

Overwhelmed? Feeling like your mind is spinning and it won't slow down? Traumatized by an event/person? Sad more than not? As a therapist, I have a long history of working with women , children and adults. I specialize in abuse issues, domestic violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, ADHD, and family issues. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is the standard and most effective treatment for psychological trauma. Having support is key to a healthy and balanced life. I can accommodate some weekend appointments, if necessary.

There are many reasons to begin therapy. Perhaps you are feeling stuck or that your relationships are lacking. You may be experiencing a life transition, or engaging in harmful behaviors. Alternatively, you may be looking to gain a greater understanding of yourself and how your past experiences have shaped you. Starting therapy can be both anxiety provoking and exciting. Finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and can grow to trust is imperative. Whatever your concerns may be, I will work to create a safe environment where you can explore what is bringing you into treatment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? All of us experience seasons of unbalance, heartache, and emotional distress. My practice is centered on us co-authoring respectful and lasting solutions to the struggles you have experienced in the past or are presently experiencing. It is important to me for sessions to include: hopefulness, compassion, and a sense of humor. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State. I also have a Professional Counselor License for the State of Oregon (LPC). I have worked at CHARIS Counseling Associates for over a decade. Before my counseling career, I was a high school teacher with PPS.

Providing caring support tailored to each person's needs is always my focus for therapy. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist committed to helping people learn ways to manage difficulties with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship issues. I am an LGBTQIA-allied/informed treatment provider, as well as an advocate of the fat positive and body positivity movements. I offer tele-therapy in OR, CA, WA, and OH.

Currently accepting new clients. Sometimes it can feel like you are just surviving day to day. Maybe life is extra difficult, you are grieving the loss of someone close to you, have experienced trauma, finding it difficult to adjust, or are needing someone to talk to. I believe every person has what it takes to succeed in life and would love to walk along side you.

There is always hope--and there's help for healing! My goal is assisting clients in meeting their goals. I help them gain better understanding of their situation, clearer insight for their behavior and emotional responses, and give guidance and support in the process of change and growth. If you are ready to heal from the impact of childhood trauma or abuse, I can help. If you are concerned about your child or teenager because of adjustment issues, divorce or significant loss, I can help. If you are struggling in a relationship, whether partner, parent, child or friend, I can help.

Sometimes the areas that need the most care inside each of us remain unknown or clouded. As a result your sense of belonging, purpose, and connection in your life and relationships may feel far away and you may find yourself looking externally to feel alive or a sense of belonging, purpose, or value. You may feel anxious, panicked, angry, burned out, resentful, lonely, or even hopeless. If you have been unsuccessfully trying to carry these parts of yourself alone or perhaps trying to hide them through working harder, achieving more, or trying to be better, we may connect well together in therapy.

At Bluebird Counseling, I enjoy working with individuals, families, youth and couples. My areas of expertise are Mindfulness Practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neural Therapies (LifeSpan Integration and EMDR- Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing) and Gestalt - In the moment awareness.

Life often requires multi-tasking and keeping up with the fast pace. For many of us, it is hard to stop and find the time to attend to the soul. Inevitably, the soul demands attention, and periods of confusion, crisis, illness, or life transition can transform into opportunities for depth work. Anger, stress, illness, anxiety, and depression do not exist in a vacuum and involve a complex interplay of personal, familial, and cultural dynamics.

I am telehealth only at this time. I specialize working with adults, teens, and children (6 + ) and their families. Together we can work on relationships, behavior challenges, depression, stress and anxiety problems, self worth, and trauma. I have a great interactive internet based/HIPPA safe video platform to use with children. Play in therapy allows children to communicate and learn to solve problems and change their negative behaviors. I work with adults to assist in processing unexpected life situations. Theories used in treatment: Developmental Psychotherapy, Psychoeducation, Attachment, Person-Centered,

People thrive when they are connected to others, but the pain, stress, and struggles of life often leave us feeling very alone. My practice includes individuals, couples, and families who are wanting to find solace in their experiences. I connect with my clients by creating safety, understanding their unique point of view, focusing on their strengths, and collaborating with them to build a plan for treatment. My clients find space in their world to find hope in the midst of pain, courageously explore change, set goals, embrace healthy beliefs, learn new skills, make positive life choices, achieve balance, and heal.

Many times in life we find ourselves stuck in a phase of this is just how it is right now. Frequently during those phases, the only thing we can do is hang on, keep our heads above water, and wait for life to settle. Once the how it is phase comes to an end, there is commonly a new version of our life that emerges, and there is work to be done. Work that we may have never done before, challenges that seem so great that we have no idea where to begin. Luckily, you do not have to do this alone.

Life is about how we experience the world around us. The current landscape of the world has led to increased stress and isolation. I can offer support and teach skills to help navigate current struggles. These skills will help create a toolbox that can be used throughout the changes and challenges life brings. I believe we are most successful when we have self-awareness, that prior experiences have a great impact on how we view ourselves and how we function in our lives. I can help integrate difficult life experiences into current reality so you can achieve a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

I believe in our innate capacity to heal and to find our own answers to life's challenges. I help couples and individuals find stability when they are struggling with relationships, anxiety and stress. I specialize in Anxiety, Couples Counseling, PTSD, Identity and Spirituality. I am proud to work with military veterans and service members as well as law enforcement officers, first responders and their families. As a former adjunct faculty member in a Couples and Family Therapy program, I am practiced in working with couples with a wide variety of presenting concerns.

Loss, grief, life transitions - these are part of everyone's life. We need support, and we need to feel safe in order to explore our emotional, somatic, cognitive, and spiritual responses to change. I use the Enneagram if clients are open, and sand play is a rich resource. We may explore mindful awareness, images and dreams, traumatic memories, body sensations, and different parts of our personality: the inner critic, the scared child, the seeker. Presence, listening, exploring questions: these may all play a role. The process of healing opens the way to more peace of mind, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of meaning.
