Somatic Therapists in Bonney Lake, WA

I love to help people live more authentic, fuller lives by celebrating the things that make you unique, and helping you identify what you need to live a more values-driven life. I often work with folks who want to feel less trapped in worry, sadness, anger, or feelings of worthlessness and loneliness. Many come to me with traumatic or painful past experiences, and they want to better navigate relationships with others or manage their emotions in healthier ways. They want to find meaning in their lives, and be more confident in who they are as an individual.

I am a clinical intern currently completing a Master of Arts in Counseling at Saint Martin's University. My goal as a therapist is to offer you a supportive and compassionate space that allows you to tap into your innate wisdom and inherent capacity for healing and growth. My approach is collaborative, relational, strength-based and explorative. I incorporate therapeutic techniques that center curiosity, mindful awareness, and a body-centered approach. I recognize the body as a valuable source of information and a powerful site of transformation.

Your trauma deserves expert care. I combine EMDR and somatic therapy in unique ways to help you heal quickly and fully. My approach uses the innate abilities of the mind plus the body to build coping skills and to heal deep, hidden trauma. Right now, is feeling good about yourself and about your relationships a struggle? Are you spending most days being driven by fear or heavy with despair even though you try to stay positive? Maybe you're trapped in patterns you’re trying to break but they always seem to win. Its probably feeling like an exhausting battle with yourself and you don’t know if things will ever really get better.

I've found that true healing unfolds when we honor the whole person, and I'm here to help you do just that. My practice specializes in several areas, including PTSD, ADHD, adult autism, other neurodivergencies, whole body health, and self-improvement. I also see a lot of individuals who struggle with depression and anxiety. I understand that healing is a multi-dimensional process, and to truly thrive, we must address all aspects of ourselves. I'm dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for you to share your unique story. I am licensed in both WA and OR state.

There are times in our lives when we feel stuck. We struggle with transition, grief, and loss. We may find it difficult to relate to others or even ourselves. My approach to therapy with adolescents, men, women, and families is client-centered and collaborative. My role is to help you solve your problems in positive and fulfilling ways. I provide a safe and compassionate place where you can find balance, connection and growth. Because my experience involves working with children, teens, adults and families, I hold a broad scope and view you as a whole person.

Counseling is most effective when taking a collaborative and holistic approach. The Ignite team strives to create a strong, therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, responsibility, empathy, and open-mindedness. We offer a safe and supportive space to explore aspects of the 'self' and life experiences that make up the 'self'. Our staff is trauma-trained and trauma informed. We value our ability to hear the unheard and to help clients find their voice of empowerment.

Welcome. I currently have in office or virtual openings for Individual EMDR Intensives (trauma clearing and/or early childhood repair). Please see my website www.hearthealing.org - For Couples Repair Intensives: www.revive-your-relationship.com - Gain clarity and compassion, and feel more connected to others. Men and women come for healing from their past traumas and relief from stressors, such as relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, abuse and neglect, ADD, ACOA and boundary issues. Others come to gain a sense of who they are, what their life's purpose is, or spiritual growth.

ACCEPTING CLIENTS. I love to help women that feel they are being crushed by anxiety and expectations. I help my clients gain confidence, set boundaries, and begin prioritizing taking care of themselves. I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma processing, and perinatal concerns (pregnancy through postpartum).

Not accepting new clients now: Life can be overwhelming, and it can feel like your life is spinning out of control. Counseling is a way to work through life challenges in a safe and confidential way. Finding the right counselor and the therapy that fits you and your life is an important step. My goal is to co-create with you a trusting relationship and a safe space for you to experiment with and experience the growth and changes you are seeking. You can gain perspective, reclaim your strengths, understand why certain patterns arise and help to find ways change those patterns.

Hello! I am glad you're here. My name is Crystalin and I feel honored being a therapist! To me, it's like being a compassionate companion on someone's journey, helping them rediscover the incredible depth and strength within themselves and their communities. Life can throw us curveballs, leaving us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. But by embracing every part of ourselves with kindness, even the parts we may not always love, we open up avenues for healing and personal growth.

Whether it be depression, anxiety, family adjustment issues, or trauma related issues I am here to help you realize an internal strength you inherently possess.

My goal as a therapist is to create a nurturing environment that empowers and supports you in navigating life's complexities. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to honoring your unique needs, learning about and integrating your strengths into sessions, and working to understand you within the multifaceted arena of your life. A core component of my approach is my training and experience in somatic and body-based therapeutic modalities. Somatic therapy helps bring our mind and body into balance by reconnecting us to the wisdom of our bodies.

I am especially skilled in working with pre-teen/teenagers and individuals struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts/behaviors, and self-harm thoughts and behaviors. I work with anyone 10 and up. I am highly passionate about working with BIPOC and/or Queer identifying clients due to personally identifying with these communities. It is important to me that I am "real" with my clients in an age appropriate way so that we can build a strong relationship.
