Couples Counseling Therapists in East Central, Spokane, WA

As human beings, we want healthy and happy relationships. These are vital to our emotional and mental well-being. We want to be our honest, authentic selves and trust that others will be there for us. However, despite our best efforts, things can get in the way. Our emotions, our past, anxiety and depression all affect how we interact with people we care about. Counseling allows for you to sit with someone who has no judgement toward you and your circumstances. I am simply here to help.

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.

I provide services to women, adolescents, and children as they navigate a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, faith transitions, and life stressors. I also work with couples looking to improve their communication and relationship skills.

I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, codependency and perfectionism. Problematic behaviors, thoughts and perceptions have their roots in past relationships or experiences that were emotionally or psychologically damaging. In our work together, I will help you to explore your family of origin, relationship history and current circumstances to overcome some of these emotional and psychological barriers.

Everyone needs support in sorting through their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at various points in their lives. It takes time to understand how our formative years and our present circumstances have shaped our view of ourselves as well as our view of others and the world at large. I hope to provide an empathic space where you can explore your inner world, and in doing so discover new insights that will help you be kinder to yourself in the midst of life’s difficulties. In couple & family therapy, I will help you to identify which patterns are causing disconnection and then help you form a secure attachment to your loved ones.

My name is Cassandra Nolan, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. I enjoy working with individuals and couples of various age groups, backgrounds, and identities. I work with people who attend therapy for various reasons including depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, trauma, family concerns, stress, and life changes. I work through a systemic lens and integrate attachment work with techniques from various theoretical models. My goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to identify and confront patterns in their lives that are not serving them.

Welcome. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that we heal within relationship. You'll find that I am warm, engaged, and relational in my approach-offering a mix of empathy, curiosity, compassion, gentle honesty, humor, and delight. The heart of my role as a counselor is to join with people in the midst of their struggles, provide space for healing and growth, and help people and relationships become more fully engaged in the experience of being human. Our sessions are a place where you can feel supported as we practice holding both the heavy and the light of being alive in this world.

You want to appear strong, but deep down you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and doubtful of yourself. You’re someone who works hard and is intentional in all that you do, but you still find yourself facing the same issues from your past again and again. You want better for yourself, even if you’re not exactly sure what that might look like. So, you are ready to make a change. You’re ready to experience relief from your past. You’re ready to build rich, meaningful relationships with yourself and others. You’re ready to face your future, connected fully to yourself, with complete access to peace, joy, and hope.

I love to work with people to improve quality of relationships and life. I draw on personal study, education and continued passion in seeking peace and flow with the ups and downs of life. I work with a wide range of ages and situations whether it be depression, anxiety, divorce, abuse, marriage, relationship issues, parenting or personality issues. I utilize CBT, DBT, Psycho-education, mindfulness, among other theories and therapies to address the mind, body and spirit in the individual. It's my passion and my life's work. Feel free to call and ask questions!

You are worthy of being seen, known and deeply understood—my hope is that beginning in our first meeting together, you, your relationship or your child will experience that. Offering ourselves grace, holding ourselves with compassion, and tuning into our own needs can be challenging. Especially when we are experiencing anxiety, depression, a difficult life transition, or a conflict in relationship. You don't have to do it alone.

Counseling is an investment in YOU and the people in your life who matter most. I work with individuals, couples, & families. I know that a person’s wellbeing and growth is influenced by their family systems and closest relationships. Attachment Based therapy serves as a scientific and theoretical foundation from which I am grounded.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of your list? Do you wonder if life should feel better? Happier? More fulfilled? Do you long for more connection in your romantic relationship? Has your relationship been ruptured by betrayal or infidelity or have you grown apart? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their lives, relationships and careers. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself and your relationships can lead to long term issues for your mind and body.

Life can be stressful at times! I believe that everyone could use some extra help and support at some point in their lives. You have a safe place to discuss your unique troubles, challenges, and goals with me. Get support in making the changes you desire! Work on achieving your goals and improving your quality of life all around.

Do you feel disconnected? Do you feel a wall between you and a loved one? Do you feel like you are going around and around in circles but never moving forward? When clients come to see me they often feel hurt, numb, confused, frustrated, lost, or alone. I help clients identify the negative patterns they get caught in, connect with themselves and those they care about most, and support them in finding new solutions to old problems.

Do you have a good enough marriage but crave deeper intimacy and connection? Do you struggle as a couple to find the closeness you once shared? Has your relationship been impacted by betrayal, unwanted pornography use or infidelity? Do you feel overwhelmed by unresolved conflicts around money, household responsibilities, sex, or parenting? Now more than ever couples need help developing deeper emotional, physical and spiritual intimacy. Not addressing your most important relationship can lead to loneliness, conflict and distance. I believe that hope, security and intimacy can be restored to even the most ruptured relationships.

I’m Sarah. I specialize in helping women in any stage of life who are struggling with anxiety, burnout and their relationships to learn to put themselves first by identifying wants, desires and setting healthy boundaries. I can help you feel more in control of your emotions, connect with yourself and others on a deeper level, increase self confidence and self compassion, heal past wounds, develop new understanding in areas where you feel stuck, and learn ways to express your needs and communicate with others. I am a great fit for anyone who is ready to strengthen their relationship with themself and their important loved ones.

I believe we all have the capacity to live fulfilling lives, but sometimes we become overwhelmed and don't know in which direction to move. I use a practical, solution focused approach to help you identify and achieve your goals.

Do you long for deeper connections with your spouse? Do you struggle with managing your emotions? Do you have a desire for positive change in your life but don't know where to start? These experiences are shared by many, and it’s a sign of strength and self-care to seek support in navigating them.
