Female Therapists in Sandpoint, ID

You blew up at your partner again last night! You promised yourself you wouldn't let your anger take over AGAIN, it did. Feelings of guilt and shame fill your body as you see your partner turn away from you. After countless conversations with them you set intentions to make yourself STOP Yesterday, you felt the tension and anger rising; you even thought "push it down". The extra puff and drink after work, the remedy to ease it away, didn't work. This pattern is disturbing, but not as disturbing as the anxiety and depression you try to keep at bay. You know life would be better if you haven't found a way to do that.

In this work I have learned to keep an open mind and an open heart. My ideal client is anyone that walks through my door needing and wanting help. It is my hope to build a relationship that opens the door for healing. This is hopefully created through empathy, compassion and connection. It is my belief that any individual can heal and learn to live in meaningful ways with authenticity. As a person of faith, I also offer Christian Biblical Counseling. It is my hope to be able to be a support to the faith community by offering licensed counseling with a Biblical perspective.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking an important step towards your mental health and wellbeing. Looking for a therapist can be intimidating, and it may be difficult to find one that is the right fit. As a therapist, I believe the relationship between you as the client and me as the therapist is of utmost importance. I will challenge you to identify what you want in life and how your values align with your goals. I fully believe that every person can make the changes necessary to enhance their life.

My approach to therapy is driven by empathy, trust, connection and compassion. Though there are multiple clinical orientations at my disposal, I believe the primary means of change lies in developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and carefully listening to your story. My background in family systems theory enables me to work with you in considering how multiple factors including your relationships, health, and spirituality are impacting your daily life.

I have been in the mental health profession for over twenty years, engaging in various roles including vocational training, community engagement, crisis management and as a licensed professional counselor. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, always prioritizing the individual’s needs and goals, at the forefront of therapy. As life’s challenges arise, I adapt my methods to stay aligned with my clients' current situations, helping them navigate unexpected changes effectively.

A unique experience combining therapy with Nuerortherapy and biofeedback. Challenges dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, traumatic bran injury, ADD and ADHD, grief and relationship issues, individual or couples therapy will focus on Client goals.

My passion is helping women achieve their optimal mental health so they can live a life without barriers and find confidence in the women they are created to be.  My goal is to offer a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment for you to begin to experience the change or healing you desire.   I take a holistic approach to your  journey, helping you identify environmental, spiritual, emotional and physical barriers that may be preventing you from experiencing optimal mental health.

Life is full of changes, some good, some difficult. Managing these changes sometimes overwhelms the individual to the point of needing help. All of us, at some point, would benefit from someone to come along side of us to help us learn to accept, adjust, move in a different direction, or just talk about it. Are you that someone, struggling in some area of your life, and wishing there was some way to figure out why this is happening, or what to do next? Do you have an existing mental health disorder that you are now struggling with? If so, please seek some assistance in order for you to learn to cope with your challenges.

I offer coaching and psychotherapy to support women who wish to connect with and express their most authentic Self, in order live a life aligned with their soul's purpose. I help you to move beyond fear, doubt and shame inflicted by culture and life experience, so that you may love yourself more fully and offer your gifts freely to the world. To support you in this deep healing process, we may incorporate various somatic and spiritual practices into our work together, based on your unique needs and values.

It is my desire to help clients of all ages who are seeking support and understanding with depression, anxiety, adoption, military life, and marriage and family issues. I have an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an MA in Human Services, Marriage and Family Counseling. I grew up in Washington State, married my husband in 1995 and we have traveled across the United States since then with the military. We recently settled in Priest River and are excited to start a new chapter in our lives. We have two adult boys, and adopted an 11-year-old special needs girl in 2015. I would love to walk in your journey wherever you are.

I understand reaching out for help is not easy and how much courage and hard work it takes for people to make real change, find hope, and create a meaningful life. I specialize in helping people who have troubled relationships, low self-esteem, addiction, depression, and anxiety. I have many years of experience working with clients in sorting out how mood (e.g., depression and anxiety), personality, and substance use interfere with changing behavior and reaching goals.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, a recent break-up, or coping with grief and loss, I am here to walk with you through it. I am in your corner. As your therapist I will work along side you to figure out some of the hard challenges you are facing. We can build coping skills, practice mindfulness techniques, or discuss helpful relationship skills to better your life circumstances. If you would like to learn more about therapy and how counseling process works, please reach out. I am ready to meet you.

I am a client centered clinician practicing in Washington State, Idaho and Hawaii. I utilize numerous approaches while incorporating my clients strengths to assist them with improving their quality of life. I am able to navigate numerous systems ( familial, employment, spiritual, social and community) to support my clients in their process for well-being and growth.

Hi, I'm Steph, and I love getting curious about the self! I find fulfillment in collaborating with individuals who desire to lead an authentic, balanced life. My ideal clients possess a genuine curiosity about their subconscious and its impact on their well-being. My clinical lens integrates the Yoga Sutras with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the science of our nervous system. My therapeutic approach empowers you to look within yourself for answers and trust your intuition, and my role as your therapist is to draw from my knowledge and experience as a clinical therapist, yoga teacher, and outdoor guide to help guide your process.

I have been working with couples and families for over 25 years, specializing in relationships. I work with couples who want to improve their relationship, figure out where it's going, or end it with as much peace as possible, with families where there has been divorce and child behavior problems, and with individuals who have anxiety or depression. Therapy is based in the present and is short-term. You should see results quickly, and if you don't, something about the way therapy is going needs to change. Your time and money will not be wasted.

I believe people are resilient and have many strengths that will help them overcome mental health obstacles. It can be very difficult to reach out for help when life may already feel overwhelming and full of struggles. Trying to find a connection with a therapist may add to those feelings. I would like to help you feel at ease in taking the first step of seeking out a therapist. One of my lifelong passions has been to help people navigate hardships and to be a supportive listener. My goal is to use that passion to create a welcoming, non-judgmental, safe place for you to work to discover the new you that you desire to be.

I feel your pain and I can help. Life can throw incredibly tough curve balls that freeze us in our tracks and take the joy right out of living. We can fix it together if you are ready and willing to do the work with me.

I work with women who carry the weight of their negative childhood experiences into their adult lives. These experiences may have manifested into anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a general sense of being stuck or frozen. When ignored or not dealt with, these deep impactful experiences from childhood eat away at us, despite "knowing better" as adults on how to deal our symptoms. The women I work with are looking to find healing from their pasts, to find their voice, and re-discover who they are and where they want to go in life. I hope to support you in this, too.

We all have wisdom and courage within us, sometimes, we need help reconnecting with those strengths, and tools to move through difficult issues. Specialties include adolescent depression, anxiety, suicide prevention, and individuals with and developmental disorders.
