Therapists in East Central, Spokane, WA

I offer children, teens, young adults this safe space to explore these skills through art, play, mindfulness, narrative therapy, nature connection, CBT, and relational therapy. I view my clients struggles more as imbalances or disconnections. I think many of the struggles we see with children and teens are caused when they are unable to recognize and communicate their needs and when their bodies/minds/emotions are dysregulated. These struggles often stem from an internal need (security, connection, rest, etc) that is not being met or is being negatively impacted by the external environment (school, home, peers, social media, etc).

We all want to belong. We want to feel capable in our lives and relationships - able to handle transitions, disruptions or disappointments. Each of us want the tools to effectively communicate what is going on inside, and have our loved ones hear and respond. We want connection - that feeling of being safe and secure. Sometimes our best efforts at connection get blocked by distress, anxiety, depression or trauma. Counseling can be a place to make sense of your experiences, and learn new ways of connecting with yourself and others, creating that security we all deserve.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming human experiences such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may be hindering our quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings.

My name is Jill Walling, and I am a clinician as well as the owner of Rooted In Hope Counseling. Life is a journey we are all on with unexpected twists and turns in the road. Often, we find ourselves in places or circumstances we did not expect that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, scared, tired and stressed, but we do not have to do it alone. As humans we are all hardwired to be in relationships with others, so seeking support does not mean we are unequipped for the journey or have failed, it simply means we are reaching out for someone to connect with us, offer support, non-biased insight, and guidance.
