Therapists in Franklin County, WA

Therapy is about change. In my work with clients, we often identify coping mechanisms and habits which could be modified, tweaked, or replaced to bring about positive changes in our lives. I believe you are the expert of your own life so I am honored to connect with you and help you garner the strength and insight to live your most meaningful life.

My approach to therapy is to understand you and what you would like your life to look like. Since your life is yours to live, only you should decide what that life looks like. Together we will work towards better understanding your needs and how to move closer to the life you want to live.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.

My therapeutic approach is to help children, teens and adults return to stable or normal functioning. I believe in empowering clients and providing individual person-centered care. Also, to facilitate realistic expectations and hope in clients that positive change is possible but does not occur in a linear process of straight-line successes. There will be triumphs and tribulations, progress, and setbacks. I will emphasize a healing process that involves growth, learning from advances as well as setbacks, and staying the course toward restoration and recovery. I will also convey to clients that I will stay the course with them.

Are you in need of something more, something else? Is there something missing, void, or lacking? Searching for a difference? These questions may have you considering therapy, let me accompany you in a journey for the answers.

You don’t have to be sick to be Building Healthier Relationships (BHR). BHR is about developing a better toolbox to enhance relationships with yourself and others, and to provide a safe, nurturing environment for learning and healing. Life isn’t just a bowl of cherries—it also includes the PITs. In life, the PITs (Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment) provide the seeds for future cherries. While we are all victims at times, healing starts with moving from a victim mentality of blaming others to the survivor mentality of taking responsibility—not for what happened in the past, but for how to go forward.

Hi, my name is Mary Jane Poulson; I go by "Jane". I have worked in the helping profession for over 30 years with a primary focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety and trauma. I have worked with issues ranging from chronic mental disorders to major life stressors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to feel comfortable enough to share your inner most thoughts and feelings, and how emotional distress and unhelpful thinking can contribute to dysfunctional behaviors and conflicted relationships, perpetuating your pain. When friends or family aren't enough to help, it's time to find a professional you can trust.
