*I CURRENTLY HAVE OPENINGS* I am a counselor that will provide a warm, safe space for you while we work together to decrease unwanted or unhealthy symptoms. I take a holistic and health approach to counseling while focusing on my client’s individual needs. My counseling approach is to use humor (at appropriate times), validate my clients, witness their feelings, and to truly hear what they are experiencing.

We all have a story to share. Sometimes, the loneliest seasons of our lives happen when we don’t feel safe to share our experiences. Stories have a way of organizing our thoughts, helping us find meaning and purpose, and establishing our identity in a confusing and sometimes chaotic world. Oftentimes, it is easy to subscribe to one storyline which may limit how we view ourselves. I believe there are many potential storylines in each of our lives. My goal is to help you find the one that makes you feel stronger, braver, and capable of facing life’s challenges.

On Maternity Leave. 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 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.

Chelsea S Bates
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Verified
The common misconception is that therapy is for "crazy" or "sick" people. Instead I believe it is a chance to work with clients on how to use their challenges as opportunities for change and growth. It is also a time to better understand our view of the world, examine any relationship issues, and become better versions of ourselves. I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.

Creating a safe space for individuals to thrive, grow, and find courage to tell their story, is what I believe my role to be as a counselor. Often times we run from our pain and avoid facing what has been hurting us all these years. It is my belief that counseling provides a neutral and compassionate environment to process through this pain, and finally discover the relief we have been looking for. My hope as your counselor is to help you develop a deeper awareness and personal insight so that you may live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
NW Trauma Therapy, PLLC
Counselor, PsyD
Verified
I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

Is your world falling apart because of betrayal? Betrayal shatters our worlds. Whether you are the betrayer or the betrayed, it sucks! Betrayers face lonely responsibilities & grief: realizing they shattered the soul of a person they loved because of out-of-control behaviors. The betrayed dazedly look at a million shattered pieces of the life they thought they knew & wonder if they can trust themselves or another again. Betrayal, fear, & grief traumatize us & become our constant companions. Shock often sets in. We feel isolated & alone. But help is here. You don’t have to stay stuck in this frightening & paralyzing space.
Molly Merritt

I view therapy as a means to acquire a well-equipped toolbox of positive and healthy life skills. These skills will help the client recognize, understand, and utilize their internal power for overcoming life's many external forces that may be causing distress or dysfunction in their life. My job as a therapist is to maintain a safe, caring, and confidential environment for my clients as they embark on that journey.

**Waitlist** Living authentically can be scary, rather intimidating. With support of a therapist, individuals can learn to accept, even embrace, the vulnerability that the process towards authenticity requires. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can explore personal beliefs and develop their identity. Many individuals struggle with processing life events but it doesn't have to be done alone or involve constant suffering. Life events can be difficult, even "positive" ones such as the birth of a child; postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real and it doesn't have to ruin your experience as a parent!

In life, we learn to do what we have to in order to survive. Sometimes that means finding coping skills to escape trauma or pain that don't end up serving or nourishing the soul in the long run. I am passionate about helping individuals nourish their mind, body and spirit to overcome trauma, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addictive behaviors, poor self-image and other mental health struggles, including those related to chronic pain and medical illness. I believe in helping my clients feel empowered to trust their instincts and create coping skills, self love, and a life they don't want to escape from.
