Therapists in Snohomish County, WA

As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LH61170692), I work with adult and adolescent clients 11+ to identify and create positive life changes. My approach to counseling is brief, strength-based, and solution-focused, my style, active, collaborative, and client-centered. Founded on the principles of positive psychology, my strength-based, solution-focused counseling model consists of three phases: (1) Clarification of the problem the client wants to resolve; (2) Identification of the solution to the client’s problem; and (3) implementation of solution-strategies to create positive changes.

Life can be isolating at times. This is especially true when you add in ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, chronic illness, and Queerness, cultural, and relationship issues. We hold so many identities and struggles that influence who we are and how we move through our place in the world. It is essential to find yourself among those identities and move into the whole version of yourself that finds comfort in the here and now. This includes finding your community and support through all that life throws at us. As a therapist, I move through sessions with a person-centered, feminist, and multicultural lens.

Welcome to Hawthorn Trail Therapy; I'm so glad you're here. Human-ing is hard. As relational beings our hearts are broken by grief, loss, and harm, and we can become disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world. The hawthorn tree symbolizes courage and resilience, and is known for healing of the heart. It takes courage to seek therapy; it is a step on the path of compassionate awareness toward healing and home. For me, this path is one of developing safety and flexibility in the nervous system, moving out of bracing or collapse toward openness and connection, finding new ways of being that lead to freedom and flourishing.

CURRENT limited openings. Anxiety, depression, self doubt, and daily stress can be so pervasive. Does the stress of daily life feel anxiety provoking and overwhelming? Are your job, relationships or friendships feeling stressful? Perhaps feeling stuck or unsettled is becoming a daily reality. It may feel like it's getting harder to thrive and telling people “no” feels hard or unmanageable. You may feel like you are alone, isolated and that you can’t talk with the people in your life about these issues. I want to help you figure some of this out, to learn to love and thrive in life again.

Hello! Life gets so hectic and stressful at times. It seems everyone has it all together except for you. You have a desire to make changes but aren't sure where to begin. Good news! You already have everything inside of you that you need, and we can work together to bring out those positive qualities and put them to use. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in mental health. I support people with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, psychotic symptoms, and PTSD. I have worked extensively with clients from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. I am excited to meet you and hear your story.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

Life is often scary and filled with unpredictable pain. My job is to be present with you as we work through those difficult experiences together. As an identifying queer, Asian-American, cis-man I believe identity is a crucial part of understanding one’s self. This knowledge is the first step to change.

You're seeking relief and meaningful transformation. On the outside, you may appear to have everything under control, but deep down, you're overwhelmed, and feeling stuck. Perhaps, you yearn to connect but find it hard to trust others, and anxious about their perceptions of you. You may feel burnt out and exhausted from constantly prioritizing everyone else's needs over your own. Society, family, relationships, or past trauma may make you feel unsafe and doubtful. If you resonate with these and ready to get support, I'd love to help you navigate through these challenges, find inner peace, greater self-love and become more resilient.

I am passionate about working with culturally diverse populations and underserved communities, including BIPOC, AANHPI, and LGBTQ+ communities impacted by substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents and families and have a theoretical orientation that is client-centered and systemic, meaning that client’s goals, beliefs, values are honored, and respected. My approach is integrative, holistic, and considers the whole person which includes mind, body, and spirit. I take an individualized approach with each and every client to ensure their goals, hopes, and dreams are realized.

You're struggling with past traumas. Maybe you don't even realize that a lot of your frustration, anxiety and depression and current struggles are linked to past traumas. It can be overwhelming dealing with intense emotions and identify the why behind it to change your life. I would love to work with you and address some of the emotions and struggles that you have been dealing with. Have there been some past events in your life that have fundamentally changed you as a person?

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I became a licensed Clinical Psychologist in 2007 and have experience and interest in working with individuals, both male and female, of various ages. I specialize in adolescents and adults who are struggling with eating disorders or other eating issues, negative body image, and low self-esteem. Often, people I see are also dealing with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, past trauma, loss, adjustment, stress, and life changes.

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth. I enjoy having the chance to walk alongside people through all types of challenges and triumphs as a willing listener who can provide empathy, a non-judgmental view on current and past experiences, and support to work towards meeting goals.

I have worked with tens of thousands of clients with issues ranging from trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, communication, parenting, work frustrations, suicidality, sudden life change, and more. My goal is for you to experience peace in your life, stop merely coping, and start thriving in the present. I believe in the importance of living in this moment that we’ve been given, and I want you to experience the abundant joy and freedom that comes from God. Don’t wait another day; invest in yourself today. I look forward to working with you to overcome past barriers so you can fully enjoy your life each moment.

Have you been seeking greater calm, clarity, and centeredness? Are you carrying deep traumas or stresses that continually hinder you from living life to the fullest?

Whether you are dealing with trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, panic, anxiety, grief, depression, or relational issues, my approach is individualized, inclusive, and strengths-based. Every step of the way, I want you to feel deeply seen, heard, and empowered.

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations in various treatment settings. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship conflicts, and trauma. As a therapist, I strive to understand clients' unique needs and strengths. The therapeutic alliance I have with clients is foundational to our work together and in many ways guides the counseling process.

Creating change in your life can be exciting, scary, hopeful, and challenging. Whether you are experiencing relational distress, going through a crisis or significant life change, or simply feel that you are not living the life you would like to be living, my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative client/therapist relationship in which you can begin to effect real change. My hope is that you will find more peace, joy, and balance in life — and greater fulfillment and connection in your relationships.

Clients want problems solved and expect that to occur soon. So I focus on the here and now and am active in making recommendations that bring about change as soon as possible. I use an outcome-focused approach and have over 40 years of professional experience as a counselor and trainer to bring you competent expertise. Treating individuals, couples and children with depression, anxiety, and traumas, are common complaints that respond well to my treatment.
