Betsy Phinney
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
In a world that is habitually fast-paced and anonymous, it is easy to lose connection with ourselves and each other. Are you feeling disconnected or stuck? Like the parts of your life are out of sync? Having difficulties in relationships? Typically, I work with people experiencing disconnection and "stuck" feelings which often show up during times of transition and change within the context of significant relationships including parents, partners, children and friends. I also work with people around the stuck places connected to various trauma experiences.
Jocelyn Tello
Psychologist, PsyD

(1)Who am I? People describe me as unflappable, empathic and balanced. I believe in the potential of those I see. I know people can and do manage and sometimes overcome debilitating mental health conditions. I rely on client collaboration and feedback in order to stretch a person beyond the distortions that render one paralyzed. Be ready to stretch and discover that you can. (2)What is my professional experience? I have a little over 20 years in the social service and mental health field. I have worked within school, hospital, prison, and community mental health agencies in California, Oregon and Washington.

Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
Are you ready to let go go old habits and ways of thought that shackle you? Would you like to move through your stuck places, your anxiety and your depression? Many people believe they are stuck in anxiety and depression when what they are really dealing with is a spiritual crisis. Once we bring in a level of work that acknowledges the very real struggles that they are dealing with, people begin to heal in new ways.
Hope Asbury
Counselor, MA, LMHCA

Accepting Clients: No matter what you have experienced or where you’ve come from, you will find that you feel heard, seen, and understood in counseling with me. You, your child, and your family are all unique, and I provide a space in which uniqueness is celebrated and identified to further emphasize your areas of strength. Sometimes life makes us feel buried and we may not know how to find our way out. However, each of us possesses an amazing potential for resilience, healing, and growth. I offer a compassionate and authentic space where we can identify life’s challenges and stressors together. You do not have to do this alone.
Nicole McBride
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, LMFTA
Verified
The choice to begin therapy can be scary. However, I believe it is brave. You, like most people, may be looking for greater awareness into your life experiences, deeper intimacy in your relationships, and more meaningful satisfaction in your life. I work with clients to find their strengths and point out how to use those strengths to find solutions. I like to bring humor into the therapy room and believe that one of the most important factors in therapy is the relationship between therapist and clients. I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches that can be tailored to clients’ needs, but I often lean towards EFT and CBT.

Vancouver Family Therapy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, MSW
Verified
I see my work as a partnership where together we develop a strategy for addressing the concerns that brought you to seek help. I believe everyone has the power to heal themselves and through the therapeutic relation with the therapist you will learn how to do this.
Beth Elizondo Mitchell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
Mental clarity and emotional resonance can seem so out of reach sometimes. When life seems overwhelming, impulses can take the wheel driving you in circles. If you're feeling lost, frustrated, confused, stuck, need guidance or just maintenance, give me a call. With time and commitment, therapy can help put you in touch with your inner compass, increase awareness, provide tools and emotional support that will allow you to access and navigate tough feelings, thoughts, and reach desired outcomes.
Brad Peterson
Counselor, LMHC, LPC
Verified
I offer a unique blend of faith-based spiritual direction along with competent and experienced mental health counseling and effective treatment planning. A majority of my clients are seeking an experienced mental health therapist/relationship counselor in whom they place confidence that their most deeply-held spiritual values are understood and shared. I primarily treat Christian individuals, couples and families that are facing difficulties with anger and abuse, blended-family, sexual addiction, unfaithfulness, marital discord, or depression and anxiety, along with a variety of spiritual concerns.
Dr. Jennifer L. Bearse, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Life is good but sometimes it leaves a mark. Often the actions we take to recover end up causing even more problems, and hopelessness and disappointment become overwhelming. I believe that sharing your burden can give you space to see what is getting in your way, clarity to know what you can change, and strength to perhaps approach your situation differently and more effectively. My goal is to help you find courage, hope, and determination to push through challenging times in order to live a life unencumbered by past mistakes or present doubts.
Robin Lee
Counselor, MA, LMHC, MHP
Verified
Imagine a life filled with hope, where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine not feeling alone and scared but rather supported and encouraged. A life with less sadness and anxiety, where you feel confident in your ability to set and reach your goals. A life where your past does not hold you back from following your dreams. Having healthy relationships and knowing how to trust and communicate. A life free of guilt and shame, regret or fear. Being able to work through grief and loss and come out on the other side, even when it feels impossible. To live in the present and be your authentic self.
Inness Pryor
Counselor, LMHC
Verified
On the surface, you have everything under control - yet you carry an iceberg's worth of emotion underneath. It's difficult to give space to your feelings and thoughts, or to communicate them to others. You're stuck in unhelpful patterns, but change feels threatening. Your life is filled with "shoulds," rules, and high expectations. You are often your own worst critic. You feel lonely, and you long to be seen - but the vulnerability that would require seems impossible. I can help you understand yourself and your experiences, get out of your comfort zone, and tap into joy.

I am a married male married to a psychotherapist and understand the difficulties that couples have even with the knowledge that we both have. I help each member of the couple rise above the conflict and participate in healing their relationship by encouraging personal responsibility and self-disclosure and by getting in touch with the goodness in each person and the love they are missing.

Encouraged Counseling and Coaching

This focus will make a positive impact in your life. My name is Kendall Jones. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, certified in Prepare/Enrich, and a Life Coach.

Diane Mundt
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Verified
Life can give us painful challenges. Sometimes we may need to ask for help. We can feel stuck and confused in our thoughts and feelings, and know we're not living the life we really want. We may have problems with relationships, divorce, loss, health, aging, loneliness, social or work issues. I aim to form a warm, interactive connection that is safe and supportive with a focus more on the present than the past. I support you in having more awareness and understanding to solve problems, learn to cope, and to discover the person you want to be. The primary goal is for lasting change that enriches and gives meaning to your life.
Christopher Forward
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
Hello and welcome! When working with clients I usually start off using solution-focused brief therapy especially when creating the treatment plan. Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a future-oriented, goal-directed approach to solving human problems of living. The focus is on the client’s health rather than the problem(s), on strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, and on skills, resources and coping abilities that would help in reaching future goals.
Caitlin Truitt
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LSWAIC
Verified
Experiencing trauma, loss, or upheaval is destabilizing and isolating. It can erode the relationships we value the most while making us call into question our sense of identity. Even if we avoid consciously thinking about it, the imprint of our past can wreak havoc on our physical health, our nervous system, and our present experience. The healing process asks us tune into our intuition and our bodies so that we can notice which parts of ourselves most need our attention and care. I can offer tools and support for those seeking to regain a sense of safety and connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.
