I work with individuals, couples, and groups who believe personal change is possible and valuable in their lives. I use an emotion focused approach, as put forth in the work of Dr. Les Greenberg, and have received formal training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I believe that people are agents of their own positive change, and that many are unaware of how emotions relate to their thoughts and behavior. My clinical practice has taught me to respect the experience, worldview, and value system of each individual without imposing my own. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.

I am an EMDR, APSATS, and EFT trained, Counseling Intern working toward completing requirements for a master's degree in Counseling from Hope International University. I work under the supervision of Stephanie Baker at Restoration Counseling. There are three things that I would like you to know today. You are not alone. You are not broken. You are not out of control. This means that there are others out there who have been where you are. There is nothing fundamentally or irreparably wrong with you. You have agency in this world both internally and externally. Change is possible. I'm here to help.

In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

As your counselor, I hope to convey the importance of incorporating intentionality in all that you do. In our work together, we will focus on the present moment, while allowing for space to navigate any memories, trauma, or parts of yourself that are asking to be brought to the surface. I believe in the power of awareness; without it, it is challenging to take action, especially when life starts feeling like uncharted territory. Counseling can be the catalyst for your personal growth and healing.

Do you want to get better? Working alongside you to find out what is meaningful, what works well, and what motivates you is a privilege for me and I love my work! Helping you find personal strengths is what I do best.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! Let me introduce myself - my name is Dustin Mays. I am a father to a teenage girl, fitness enthusiast, enjoy hiking, time with my family and friends, and connecting with nature! I've been in the mental health field for 12 years and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are living with emotional, relationship and behavioral challenges, grief and trauma, as well as general life challenges. Whatever your unique reason is for seeking help, I'm confident that I can help!

I have been working with individuals and families for 18+ years. I practice from the belief that we often have barriers that block us from experiencing the fullness of life-relationally, spiritually, and biologically. In my office you will find a welcoming, open, and non-judgmental place to explore yourself and your life. I have lived in many countries around the world and practice from an approach that values each person's individual cultural and values. I obtained my BA from Northwest Nazarene University and my graduate degree at Eastern Washington University. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Openings are currently available! I have both weekly and bi-weekly openings currently. Welcome to Storyboard Counseling! My name is Javin (like Gavin with a ‘J’), and I appreciate you stopping by. You are already showing great strength in reaching out for help in seeking counseling support. In the creation of films, tv shows, video games, and other mediums, storyboards are used to show potential events of a story, a “rough draft” in images of what is going to happen. Some panels on a storyboard are locked in and cannot be changed. However, there are many elements of a story that can evolve and change in its making.

** Accepting New Clients ** Welcome to hope. Some people pursue therapy to wrestle through a difficult experience. Some come to shake numbness off their life. Others are hoping to breathe through the stress and anxiety their world holds. Many are just trying to find their way. My desire is to offer kindness and hope in the midst of chaos, to move you toward healing what is holding you back. I invite you to show up - to risk valuing yourself enough to lean into the possibility your life can change. I invite you to rise - to summon the courage to speak the truth of your story and bravely pursue healing. I invite you come to life.

NOT currently accepting new clients. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for helping people, and I feel privileged to provide assistance to people through counseling. As a counselor, I come from a place of non-judgement, empathy, hope, and understanding. My goal is to help each individual or couple get from where they are to where they would like to be. My areas of interest include trauma, PTSD, LGBTQ+, and abuse. I have had training in EMDR. I currently work with individual adults and couples.

My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, comfortable environment to build a trusting relationship with my clients. Life can be difficult at times and I meet each client where they are in life without judgment or criticism. My counseling style is genuine and honest. My hope is as we self-explore it can lead to meaningful changes that could improve your daily life.

From an early age I have had a passion for people that has driven me to engage people in the world they live in. I have a deep desire to help others find hope and healing as they deal with the struggles of life. Throughout my life I have pursued numerous ways to engage people in developing hope and healing, and it is through counseling that I have found that I can help others navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, faith and spirituality issues, identity issues, men's issues, and to manage life's hurts that lead to habits and hang-ups. 30 min. session $125, 45 min. session $150, 1 hour session $195

I believe everyone is looking for better relationships, either with others or with themselves. I view my role as a guide for a journey toward becoming a more comfortable version of the self. As a guide I will help you find your way through depression, anxiety, past traumas, or relationship stress to find your true self on the other side.

I love working with couples. I am passionate about marriage. I have declared war on divorce. It is through a deep sense of emotional safety, relational attunement, and loving responsiveness that we can really experience the gift of marriage. I particularly enjoy working with couples experiencing relationship distress. I value helping couples gain the skills to enjoy passionate, deeply connected relationships.

Have you ever contemplated incorporating counseling in your life but experienced hesitation prior to making that first call? I understand the first step can be daunting and filled with fear of being judged or misunderstood. As a counselor, my primary goal is to break down misconceptions about counseling and provide each client with a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental, and encouraging atmosphere to aid them in overcoming life’s challenges. I work with individuals and couples facing issues within themselves and within their relationships, to include: anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, diminished self-worth, and trauma.
