Life Coaching Therapists in Chimacum, WA

I help women 40+ who are disillusioned with their lives, and looking with dread at the years ahead close the gap between where they are now and the life they want … a life that is happy and fulfilling. Are you fed up with the barrage of personal growth programs and magazine articles that leave you feeling even more like a failure or that you’re just “not good enough?” Yet … there’s still a big gap between where you feel you “should” be at this stage of your life and where you actually are. You’re deeply disappointed that following society’s “rules for women” didn’t get you the life you thought you’d have.

Times are stressful right now and we all could use a little help. Whether your life is good, bad, ugly or somewhere in between, its good to get some insight. We all just need to stop for a second, take a deep breath and observe ourselves. Are you reaching your full potential? Is your life turning out like you've imagined? Are your needs being met? Is something missing? By seeking help, you have taken the first step to new freedom and happiness. I am able to see each individuals issues and help them develop a plan to recover or simply improve. "When we are all alone we are in bad company". You are no longer alone. There is help.

My breath, energy and relaxation exercises give you in the moment relief from anxiety, emotional distress and deep tension in your body. I also coach and empower counselors, therapists and other helping professionals how to implement their intuitive gifts with clients and to discover the crux of their life work and purpose. Hands on work includes energy meridian tapping (EFT and Tong Ren Therapy), point holding, guided inner awareness and access consciousness. My approach to sensual education and spiritual counseling empowers you to experience your life force energy as your creative and spiritual energy.

There are moments in our lives when we know we're done; done with a job, a relationship, a belief system, a way of life . At these moments, there is a choice to be made - retreat and play it safe, or move forward into a new way of being? I am a woman who has chosen to be an "Edge Walker," an "Artist/Healer;" giving full expression to the "Wild Gypsy Woman" within me. If you are at a "done" moment in your life , and feel ready to break free of the chains that bind you, call me.

Here are some of what others have brought: trying to fill in the "holes" in their growing up; learning how to make a good life for yourself; being anxious about things; being depressed; navigating grief; learning the skill of happiness; all relationships; clarifying purpose and direction, and practical ways to follow it; substance abuse and recovery; soul and spirituality (I speak both religious and non-religious); if you have any kind of life passage, we can shape, prepare for, and celebrate it. I love to work with teens, adults, elders.

Is your life looking good from the outside? You look like you "have it all" - good job, nice partner, a roof over your head. But behind the scenes, your stomach is in knots and you are judging yourself for not being "grateful" or "happy" enough. How hard was it to start looking for a therapist? If you find yourself hanging on by a thread while trying to portray you have it all figured out, the journey to this point might feel like whiplash. Take a deep breath and a long exhale. You are finally here, and there is nothing wrong with you - you are HUMAN.

It takes courage to seek help. Whether you are trying to make an important decision, facing a crisis, or in the middle of a major transition in your life , it makes sense to seek counsel. Sometime we’re feeling stuck and isolated while longing for more community and personal growth. Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and your view of others. It can lead to anxiety, depression and negatively affect your ability to develop healthy relationships.

Often times, individuals get stuck in the “mud” of life . Sometimes mud is past trauma, various experiences, mental health concerns, and grief. My goal in working with individuals is to find acceptance in the mud in order to live a more fulfilling life . While I specialize in some populations more than others, I find that creating a strong therapeutic relationship is paramount. You are more important than a diagnosis. I tend to connect well with individuals who are in stages of change, difficulty connecting with emotions, interpersonal concerns, difficulty with setting boundaries, and wanting to develop coping skills.

As a mindfulness-based counselor, I help individuals, adolescents and couples transform their struggles into opportunities for growth, learning and adventure. I help you turn your problems into pathways. This journey is an opportunity to unearth the home that is your deep and abiding sense of self. Drawing on nature wisdom, archetypal patterns, myth, mindfulness and the mind-body connection, I am here to be a guide as you dive into your own depths. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward wholeness, freedom and purpose.

Are you overwhelmed by the pandemic? Do you have relationship issues? Are you challenged by anxiety, depression, or fears? Do you suffer from low self esteem or confidence? Do you have trouble setting boundaries? Are you going through life transitions, or just feeling stuck? Do you have unhealed trauma? Would you like to explore what your life 's purpose is? Those are the issues that I specialize in, and I would be happy to help you navigate and heal them.

I bring over 20 years of experience to the Presbyterian Counseling Center. I offer a unique opportunity for people who come to me for counseling to become aware of issues about their relationships with others, and also develop a deeper awareness and appreciation of their world and their place in it...a spiritual search. When spirituality and hope meet, many say they experience a transformative change. No matter where you are in your journey, I offer you an experience in which you will be encouraged to take small steps that can make a huge difference. I welcome you to this journey...

Let's clear the blocks to living the life you want. Speaking up, claiming your right to happiness, stepping ahead with joy and confidence. Sometimes old patterns, beliefs or traumas get in the way. I use a blend of shamanic and other spiritual methods along with science-based neurological trauma clearing techniques. Sometimes the origins of your blocks are from childhood, past lives or even ancestral patterns. Clear core beliefs like "I am not enough" or "I don't deserve" or "I am not safe". And build new patterns (and neuro-networks) of success, self love and confidence. See: Facebook Jovanna Casey MSW LMHC for reviews.

In my 40 years as a psychologist my goal has been to provide the safe nurturing environment that creates a productive client/therapist relationship. I have never forgotten my early experiences in seeking help from a therapist, wondering what it would be like, and if it would really help. I appreciated the understanding and insight I received then, and throughout my life , sometimes with my husband, I have found different kinds of therapy that were helpful to me and to my clients.

Navigating our current world is no easy task, especially if you are queer, trans, non-binary, gay or lesbian or practice non traditional relationship structures. Many of us experience depression, anxiety, intense self doubt, or even self hatred. I will offer you a safe yet engaging space where we can challenge and heal the blocks that get in your way.

As you are in the process of looking for a therapist, you may already be half-way through resolving your issues. It is said that client's readiness and willingness to make changes is the strongest indicator of successful therapy outcome. As a therapist, I will accompany you in the journey of actualizing your fullest potential by assisting you to develop internal and external resources such as the sense of freedom, choices, healthy sense of self, responsibility, managing life balance, and strong support systems and relationships.

Are you ready to free yourself from limiting beliefs that contribute to social, emotional, physical issues or behaviors? I would love to work with you, to help you gain back your freedom. What's holding you back? Are you feeling not enough? Is your weight holding you back? Are you anxious in any way or depressed? If you want to succeed in the most important aspects of your life - in relationships, your job and how you feel about yourself, I can help you be truly happy and free you from self-destructive thoughts and behaviors, living a confident, motivated and happier life . I can help you let go of the past that is holding you back.

Where is your joy in life ? What is the point in working so hard just to feel miserable? Who am I? Today we are more active and busy than ever, yet we have no time to just be. We lose touch with ourselves, our emotions, our deepest, most natural needs. Through this separation from self we grow despondent, depressed, and isolated. It is time to reconnect to yourself and start living. I help individuals get in touch with their emotions to process, express, and move forward in life . My passion is getting you back on track to begin living a more fulfilled, purposeful life .

You can recover your authentic self! My compassionate and accepting approach uses a variety of simple and effective techniques to help clients understand themselves, make clear and conscious choices, learn to listen to their own inner wisdom, set healthy boundaries, fulfill their own deepest needs, and become their most authentic selves.
