Therapists Beginning With W in Washington

Waitlist availability. I practice from mindfulness, compassion focused and positive psychology approaches. We resist to the very normal experience of suffering, as if something has gone terribly wrong. In this awareness we acknowledge that we are disconnected from the fullness of our experience and ourselves; the mind, body and our relationships. We can incline toward your experience and yourself in these areas with curiosity, cultivating tenderness, interconnectedness, and wise attention. Within all of us these precious core values have a capacity to hold space and a sense of wholeness that runs deeper than our problems.

Accepting New Clients, Private Pay, Telehealth. I help my clients pave the way for meaningful change in their personal and professional lives. Whether it pertains to work, relationships, or another aspect of our well-being, all of us experience times where we feel daunted by life’s challenges. Maybe we want to move in a certain direction and are struggling to get traction. Or maybe we aren’t even sure what we want. If you are finding it stressful or intimidating to deal with these situations, it is certainly understandable. My aim is to partner with you to find a way forward that is workable for you.

Counseling has a reputation for being a messy and frightening process. Much as I'd like to say that isn't the case, the reputation is well-earned. But you probably already knew that, and the fact that you're here anyway is a good first step. I've treated a wide variety of struggles and time and time again the one trait I've seen lead to success above all others is the willingness to, as Ms. Frizzle used to say "take chances, make mistakes and get messy." So, if that's what you're here to do, then let's get to work.

Welcome...Congratulations on your courage to look within and give yourself the gift of therapy. I am a licensed Mental Health counselor with over 20 years of experience. My professional expertise includes work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing addictions, trauma, loss/grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and life transitions. I believe the source of therapeutic outcomes lie within the individual. I facilitate my client's journey to self-discovery, enhancing their sense of well-being and assisting them in creating a healthier, meaningful and more balanced life.

Throughout life, the struggles we face can leave us feeling as though we are wandering through a never-ending desert without shade, water, or comfort in sight. This can lead us to feeling exhausted, alone, and hopeless. Juniper NW Counseling is about offering that moment of shade, a space to rest, heal and be restored. Whether your desert is depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, isolation in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, or parenting challenges, I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share about the most vulnerable parts of your desert.

Lauren has been providing individual psychotherapy to adults at Associated Behavioral Health Care since May 2020. Lauren received her MA in mental health counseling from the University of North Dakota in 2013 and subsequently practiced in community mental health settings until moving to Washington in 2020.

COUPLES! Are you feeling more like roommates than lovers? Having a difficult time relating to one another? Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. All couples go through phases in their relationship. Sometimes couples have a difficult time moving from one phase to another and need assistance in gaining momentum. Negotiating life as a couple can be difficult. Most people want to feel connected, cared for, and understood by their mate. Sometimes it feels as though there are two strangers living together. If this is you do not lose hope...

Are you feeling stuck, confused...and don’t know how to move forward? I now offer A.R.T. or Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Brainspotting in addition to Clinical Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression. All are truly unique ways of healing and finding relief. Clients are reporting less anxiety, less repetitive thinking, and more calm. More ability to self-regulate and move forward in relationships, work and life.

Reaching out for help can feel intimidating sometimes, but it will likely create lasting changes in your life toward a more comfortable and healthful way of being in the world. I am a somatic psychotherapist who works with individuals experiencing emotional, mental, physical, and existential distress. I view well-being as a multi-dimensional holistic concept and approach counseling in that manner. The body, mind, spirit, and emotions are in feedback with each other within the living organism of the human being.

Therapy is a place to take a deep breath and explore what makes you you. I work best with individuals and couples who are interested in finding new ways to exist in the world. Through consistent therapy, it is my belief that you and I can identify the things in your life that feel problematic and learn how to address them with kindness and compassion. By looking at your personal story without judgement or contempt, therapy will open up new ways of relating to yourself and others by naming undesirable patterns in your life.

I provide compassionate, non-judgemental counseling for adolescents and adults. I support individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, fertility issues and complicated pregnancies/births. I help clients make positive, healthy changes in their lives. The theories I use are Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions often incorporate mindfulness tools such as meditation and relaxation techniques. I also offer support groups for adolescent girls from time to time.

Hello! I offer psychotherapy and professional consultation services. As a therapist I work with adults (18 and up) who have difficulties related to trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, loss, and aging, including anxiety, depression, decreases in life satisfaction, and end of life concerns. I am cognitive-behavioral in my theoretical orientation and pull from a range of evidence-based interventions depending on my clients' needs and preferences. I integrate acceptance-based practices, such as mindfulness, in treatment as needed. I welcome clients of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

I am a developmental psychologist trained to work with children, adults and families. My specialty areas include mood disorders (depression, anxiety), trauma and life transitions. I am currently offering telehealth sessions for residents of WA state and Delaware. My approach is client-centered and solution focused.

Now accepting new couples! Are you too familiar with feelings like hurt, isolation, or helplessness? If so, you know these can zap the life out of you and your partner, not to mention your relationship. I believe all these feelings can arise from one common enemy, disconnection. Whether that disconnection arose from stress, conflict, infidelity, a diagnosis, or from simply feeling "off," disconnection makes it harder for us to thrive under life’s stressors, let alone build the relationship we want.

Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by recent changes in your life, or just want to function better? I help clients navigate changes in their life and discover long term ways to manage their overall mental health. I work well with adult 18 + clients who are experiencing a life transition (starting/graduating college, career change, recent marriage), depression/anxiety, chronic medical issues (or recent diagnosis) or those in helping professions. As a mixed-raced person, I also enjoy exploring the many intersectional layers that come with trying to understand our own identity.
