TriWest Therapists in Tacoma, WA
I provide counseling services mostly by telehealth. I have offices in Washington and Georgia. I focus on working with people who want to change their behavior to get better results, to get more of what they want and less of what they don't want. That usually involves changing thinking, letting go of irrational beliefs, and learning how to let others know what your needs are. You will find me person-centered, non-confrontational, even humorous. You want to have better consequences in your life; my job is to help you find them. I also work with couples and families who want to learn how to listen to each other and stop arguing.

Hello, I'm Shawn Berthel, (M.S., LCMHC). In my private practice, I believe you can be helped to make shifts in your behavior and thinking processes, to create awareness of your issues, and to change the areas you wish to correct. You will be encouraged to empower yourself, and become a partner in your own self-care. These changes may be slow or difficult at first. However, I know that you have the innate power to maximize your strengths and seek out necessary support, so you can move forward positively into a new life filled with opportunity.

Facing anxiety, depression, or struggles with substance use can make life feel heavy and unpredictable, even when you’re doing everything you can to hold things together. These experiences are not signs of failure—they’re part of the complex challenges many people face quietly every day. I chose to become a mental health clinician because I believe in the strength it takes to seek support, and I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone chooses to show up for themselves. Therapy isn’t about fixing what's broken; it’s about creating space for change, growth, and resilience.

I believe therapy that combines emotional processing, skill development, and a strong therapeutic relationship can give way to a process that can be transformational for both client and therapist. When engaged in therapy, I see the potential for every person to experience newfound motivation and profound insights that lead to acknowledging new possibilities and taking action. I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds including the LGBTQ+ community, the BIPOC community, individuals who struggle with substances/addictive behaviors, and individuals from various economic backgrounds.

Together, we will develop strategies and goals that help navigate through these unknowns and work toward moving past these fears so that you can feel grounded, secure, and ultimately present in your day to day life.

Everyone faces challenges in life, but you don't have to go through it alone. Healing happens in relationships -in our connections to self, community and the environment. As a clinician, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and treatment is a collaborative process led by the client with guidance from the clinician. My primary goal is to provide support to individuals and families to help them find the best solutions for themselves to achieve their goals. In session I utilize strengths-based, values-driven and person-centered techniques to help clients find their own path to optimal health and wellbeing.
