Therapists in Langley, WA

Acknowledging that you might be in over your head isn't weak, it's wise. Have you tried calming techniques, but your anxiety still attacks you? Or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK? Maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting off toxic people or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But sometimes the wound goes deeper than that or the situation you're in is just too overwhelming to sort through on your own. When things like that go unaddressed, they sabotage even our best efforts at creating the life we want.

As a parent to a struggling teen, you're wondering how you can help them feel better. It seems like you've tried everything, from punishing them to bribing them, but nothing seems to work for long. While things are not great right now, you are starting to see signs that it is getting worse like scars from where they may be cutting themselves, or you think they may be using drugs/alcohol. You've tried to talk to them about this but it quickly turns into an argument. You're hoping you can find someone that can connect with them, help them learn how to get through these difficult years, and also keep you informed along the way.

I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards making meaningful change in your life and recognize the courage it takes to do so. I have helped clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, hopelessness, difficult relationships, and significant life transitions. My approach to therapy is to begin with the issues, concerns and feelings that have motivated you to seek help. I want to allow you to move through therapy at a desirable pace, and when it is helpful, I am here to provide reflections, feedback and coping techniques along the way.

I specialize in helping people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing imbalance in their personal, family or professional life. I work with thousands of clients through various issues with life change, parenting, crisis, death, and relationships. I pace myself to the client's needs and work quickly using core values which are universal to all walks of life. Currently, since 2013 I have a weekly international radio/internet show on Voiceamerica.com. The Empowerment channel called "Dr. Gary Bell's Absurd Psychology."

I meet with individuals, couples, families, and run groups. I generally work with folks who complain of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress management, anger management, trauma/PTSD, interpersonal conflict, parenting challenges, spiritual challenges, frustration tolerance, and some health challenges to include nicotine addiction. I also provide in-home nursing-aid care, DD respite care, and tutoring. A client is encouraged to boldly explore their own thoughts and emotions in a safe, warm and collaborative therapeutic environment and find new solutions, skills, insight and awareness around life's challenges, both within the person and the persons' life experience

I work with people dealing with emotional problems that manifest as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. The encounters with emotions seem powerful, overwhelming, and mysterious. They may feel so powerful, that you push away, stuff down, use substances, or even allow the emotions to direct your actions and thoughts. It can feel confusing of how you can build strength to overcome emotional wounds. How do you make sense of what doesn’t always make sense? Exploring your emotions with a therapist can be healing and encouraging.

Some of the emotional dis-regulation we see in adolescence is the teen figuring out how to express themselves, in their own unique way, with their peers, their family, and in terms of social justice. Teens want to be understood, to be accepted, however they often do not want to work hard to help you understand them.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, ashamed, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends who can’t understand, or guilt over what happened to you. It may even feel like this will last forever. Either way, you’re ready for some relief and actual change. You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without your past getting in the way. You’re ready to rediscover your true self. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself again & to face your future with a sense of hope.

I'm Connor, the head athletics mental health clinician at Washington State University. I work with athletes and others on their general mental health and sport psych performance issues. On the performance side, I treat performance anxiety, lack of confidence, burnout, and more. On the clinical side, I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty with stress management, big life adjustments, grief, hoarding, and more. Regardless of the model, I always provide a warm, positive listening ear with a strong desire to help.

You've come into adulthood as a queer or trans person, and you’re realizing that everything is harder than you envisioned. Some of what’s happened in your past is coming back to affect you, or maybe it has for quite some time. You’re learning more and more that many places in the world haven’t been designed for you, or that the spaces you find yourself in don’t account for the real you. You don’t feel very good about yourself and what you've tried so far hasn't made the impact that you've wanted it to. You’re stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or scared...or all of the above.

Hi! I’m Dave McNew, a licensed clinical psychologist. I work to help those with marginalized identities (sexually & gender queer, BIPOC) to heal chronic struggles with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use my passion for relational healing, mindfulness, and self-compassion to build space in which you can know yourself more fully and live more authentically. I help to cultivate more safety and joy in your relationships with others, and with yourself. I make space for you to face the parts of yourself that are hardest to feel. Where there was pain and confusion, I help you find greater calm, peace, and connection.

Are you wanting to understand who you are and your purpose in life? Looking to reach your fullest potential? If issues like being sad, nervous and feeling bad about yourself are getting in the way of your healing, then you are in the right place! You might be looking to grow your life skills and explore new ways of interpreting the world around you and I am here to support you every step of the way. My clients get to experience a therapist who views them in their entirety - ethnicity, identity and culture, as we explore how their life experiences are impacting them today.

I see healing as the process of understanding the patterns that influence our perception of, and how we act within, the world that surrounds us. For many, these patterns might have been protective, at one point in time, though might not be serving our needs in the present. Therapy offers a space to feel seen, heard, and accepted. I believe that the individual is the expert on their life, and I trust their experience. I seek to follow the client while noticing my own curiosity that I have cultivated through schooling and experience working in the field of psychology.

Being deaf, I have a strong desire to help other deaf and hard of hearing people but this doesn't limit me from working with hearing people too. My clients are struggling to fit in in a world that's constantly changing and sometimes seems out to get us all. Clients who come to me are looking for support, knowledge, and growth to counter the challenges of every day life.

I would like to start by saying the act of asking for help is often a frightful one especially in a society that can often demonize needing help. I respect the bravery necessary to be willing to open up and be vulnerable about difficult parts of your life and to embrace the desire to grow and heal. Depression, grief, anxiety, and more are all powerful forces and seeking help for those is an admirable act. By sharing a bit about my frame of practice and what my approach to care is; I hope I can help to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with starting your therapy journey.
