Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Emerson Garfield, Spokane, WA

I enjoy working with individual children and adults who may be experiencing some sort of challenge in their life. These challenges may be related to anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, relationship difficulties, self-identity as well as many other life difficulties. Whatever your life challenge may be, I work to create a warm, open and safe environment to help you work through it. Counseling is a collaborative process that is built on the foundation of the client-counselor relationship, which is something that I work hard to build from the first session.

Hello, I'm Layne. I know it can be hard reaching out. There is always the fear that you might be judged or made to feel like there is something wrong with you. Not in my book! I will provide you with an open and caring therapeutic relationship that will help you face your biggest fears and challenges. Has trauma held you back from building healthy relationships? Has anxiety been a barrier to achieving your hopes and dreams? Has grief kept you stuck for years? There is hope. You won't have to miss out on life any longer! Please reach out and we can talk more about any questions you might have about EMDR or the therapeutic process.

If you are hoping to heal from unresolved traumatic experiences, anxiety and depression symptoms, my goal as your therapist is to create a safe space for you to engage in your healing process. My approach is trauma informed, collaborative and client centered. My areas of expertise and interest include treatment of PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, suicide risk assessment, crisis intervention and coping with grief and loss. I most enjoy working with teens and young adults.

We all get stuck at times and it can be quite difficult to navigate overwhelming circumstances and stressors alone. I work with all demographics but place greater focus on on men's issues. My approach is to build a comfortable and relational environment where each person can be real, regardless of their unique struggle.

I work with couples and individuals who are struggling to connect or to repair from difficult situations. If you find yourself feeling disconnected and struggling with communication or trust, therapy may help. Whether you are looking for an individual therapist, couples therapist, or family therapist there is hope. I would like to provide a space for you to both process and gain tools that will be helpful in your everyday life.

We all want to feel better & have thriving relationships, but our life experiences have a direct impact on that. Whether you're an individual with unresolved trauma, a first responder whose job is affecting their personal life, or a couple struggling to communicate or with infidelity, for example. Conflict & residual trauma can cause a loss of connection over time with those we love. And trauma left untreated can cause heightened reactions, like anger or fear, or the opposite - emotional detachment. You may notice feeling sad or irritable, have nightmares, or struggle with trust. The effects are different for each person.

Hi, my name is Sarah. One of the hardest and most scariest things a person can do is reach out for support. Rest assured, I am here to listen and I am here to support you. You may have questions and you may have doubts; however, I am here to let you know that it is normal in the process of reaching out. I want you to know that if you make the decision to reach out to me, I will let you take the wheel and be the decision maker for what you want to discuss or cover in counseling. You can take all the time you need to process, no matter how fast or slow, and I will be on the journey right alongside with you.

Anxiety. Addiction. Trauma. Does your mind race and you feel out of control? Is it nearly impossible to concentrate at work and by the time you get home, you are so exhausted that it's difficult to even get dinner on the table or help the kids with homework? You've been pulling back at work, distancing from friends, and feel 'checked-out' around family. The only thing that seems to bring you some peace, let alone sleep, is a bottle of wine, hours of Netflix, or chocolate cake.

Seeking support for healing is a difficult choice for anyone to make. You may have been contemplating this for a long time or had a recent self-realization. You may have received support in the past or be brand new to therapy. Regardless to how long you’ve been considering it or your past experiences, you’re here now! I honor and recognize everyone in their bravery for coming this far. My goal is to align with my clients in conceptualizing their goals for therapy and explore what treatment pathways are best for them. I focus on building skills to navigate life and processing the past with my clients.

Addiction, be it Alcohol or Drugs, It is my opinion that all addictions are treatable, and all Recovery goals can be achieved when working together. I do not have all the answers, but working together we can develop a plan that may help you succeed in your recovery program. One just has to have the desire to want to change their lives, to be honest with themselves, to make a commitment to themselves, and be willing to do the work. Afterall, it's an investment in yourself. I invest a lot of time and effort into what I do because I truly love what I do. Afterall, it's about the person sitting across from me.

Ally to ALL. Sometimes people feel alone and life can present challenges that make it lonely and difficult to focus on what you really want and where to go next. I’d be honored to sit with you, hear your story and learn about what you want to accomplish in therapy.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry, numb? Have you experienced trauma and feel overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself?

Are you looking for joy, inner peace, and healing? When you are suffering- from depression, loss, failing relationships, an unfulfilling job, anxiety, or any hardships in life- the journey can be lonely, scary, and painful. You might be asking yourself: Why am I always on edge? In these times of pain, fear, and darkness, I want to help you. There is always hope. Peace, joy and healing can be found. It would be an honor to help you find it.

Life is full of complexities. The most powerful thing that we can tap into is living a heart-centered life, learning about our own inner guidance. There are many internal and external barriers that get in the way of this. We do not have to navigate these things alone.

I enjoy helping individuals work through their issues by processing their trauma. When a person resolves their trauma the rest of their issues in life usually go away. I believe in a strong collaborative relationship with my client. You are in charge of your recovery. My hope is for you to be able to look at your past and present in order to help you identify how they have both helped you and gotten in the way of you being able to achieve your goals in relationships and in life. Connecting the dots from your past experiences to what is currently going on in your life is a strong motivator for change
