Family Systems Therapists in Bothell, WA

My passion is working with adolescents, families and adults who are looking to learn new skills to use in their lives. We'd be a good fit if you're looking for someone who teaches skills and strategies to use when encountering difficulties. Often people will encounter times where they struggle and don't have the skills to manage current stressors or problem. I’m here to offer you support and techniques that have shown to be effective in helping with these problems. Working with me involves learning more about what makes situations difficult (what's the specific problem) and applying new skills.

I work with individuals, couples and families and have a significant amount of experience assisting families who have children with special needs, especially Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I am also multilingual with multicultural competency.

Are you currently in a relationship where you're not happy but can't seem to get yourself to leave? Maybe you feel emotionally stuck or confused and have tried leaving only to return to the same unhappy relationship where nothing seems to change. On the other hand, you might feel that you keep entering into relationships in which you are treated poorly but can't figure out why. Perhaps you're dating and finding "the one" seems impossible. You feel sad and disappointed, no one seems to understand, and you don't know what else to do to make things better. I'm here to tell you that things can change and I am here to help!

All of us experience times of transition, change, and difficulty in our lives. I believe that the challenges and transitions of life create opportunities for reflection, growth, and positive change. I provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental environment where folx of all identities can feel heard, accepted, and supported. I will work together with you to discover your inner strengths and create goals that help you find peace and fulfillment in life.

Is your daughter struggling to get through life’s challenges? Have you noticed that she has been distant, down, or more anxious than usual? She may be fed up with not understanding why she feels the way she does, worrying all the time, or feeling disconnected from friends & family. She may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure; she’s ready for some relief. She’s ready to feel normal and happy again. Most of all, you are ready to see your daughter become her true self again so she can thrive in life.

Working with children, youth, adults, and families, I help identify unhealthy patterns and teach tools you can use to begin making small changes in your life. Sometimes emotions are distressing and no fun to deal with, which can also lead to behavioral issues. Given enough power, unpleasant experiences can make living life and being in relationships difficult. As you make small changes, these small little changes add up and you’ll hopefully find yourself facing a different direction with a stronger sense of who you are as a human being, not human doer. I can support you on your journey as you practice fumbling with your new tools.

I am committed to client-centered care rooted in equity and diversity. I believe you have a unique story with your own set of experiences. My primary aim is to cultivate an environment free from judgement, allowing trust to blossom naturally. Together, we will embark on a collaborative exploration, delving into the intricacies of your personal life experiences. By uncovering patterns, navigating challenges, amplifying your strengths and implementing coping skills and evidence-based interventions, our counseling journey becomes a pathway to profound and transformative change.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, and relationship concerns by exploring a deeper awareness of both the body and mind. I use several approaches including attachment theory, EMDR, IFS, EFT, and CBT, as I work with individuals and couples to resolve core beliefs which feed powerlessness and shame. I listen to and advocate for my clients to find new pathways through life's challenges of trauma, emotional neglect, grief, and negative self-worth. We don't need all the answers to be "good enough." We need someone to "be" with us as we learn new ways to thrive.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Have you lost hope that there are answers for your problem and you want to give up? As a licensed mental health counselor, my desire is to utilize tools to help you confront your fear, reduce your anxiety, and manage your depression. You can break free from the chains that hold you back. You can start afresh and you can build a new life! My desire is to encourage you to continue your faith journey to promote long-term healing and growth.

Welcome! Mental health is as important as your physical health. I want to challenge and guide you in taking the next steps to bettering your overall well being. I view therapy as a safe space to process feelings without judgment. We will work together to identify mental health goals that your can achieve. I have been in the field for nearly 20 years helping individual adults, families, adolescents, children and more recently couples. I am comfortable assisting people of diverse backgrounds. My background includes settings as diverse as community outpatient clinics, a correctional facility, and a special education school.

As a clinical social worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through the challenges of life. My passion lies in creating a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to helping others achieve emotional well-being and personal growth

Hello and welcome. My name is LoriLee Haener. I would imagine, if you’re exploring options for different treatment modalities while choosing a therapist that’s right for you, it’s for a very good reason. You may be feeling stuck, either caused by a sudden, significant “life-event” or grappling with anxiety, fear, & trauma that have seized your ability to make choices that are aligned with your health and well-being during anxious and tense moments. You may have suffered with addiction in the process of easing your daily pain. You are not alone, but how you address these issues is unique to you.

Now accepting new clients. We are made to belong and connect with those we love and can experience grief and frustration when those relationships result in pain and challenges. My desire is to bring hope to my clients and offer a safe place to be heard and affirmed. I look forward to walking alongside you as we navigate through difficult times. I believe we are created for a purpose and that walking through these challenges cause us to grow, strengthen our relationships and help us to see for what purpose we were made.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

Having issues with generalized anxiety and substance use in the past, I believe that the people who have been there and recovered are the best guides. The formula I use is applying love to hurt. When we find the root cause of Addiction and mood disorders and treat it with compassion, amazing results can be found. I have proven this when I worked at the first Mental Health Urgent Care. I also have extensive experience with trauma, since I am an abuse survivor. I mix and match 10 different therapy approaches in an effort to treat the whole person. Each person is unique and obtains a treatment plan suited to them.

Life can be challenging! One of the most courageous choices one can make is to embark on the journey towards personal exploration and growth. As a therapist, my job is to help you access your inner wisdom, navigate relationships and change, and create a fulfilling, balanced life. I find that my clients are often equipped with strengths and talents that they do not give themselves credit for. I aim to help you recognize and strengthen these gifts in order to fully participate in and enjoy the world around you. I enjoy working with those who are embarking on new life transitions, as well as parents who are seeking guidance on behavior management with their young children, preadolecents and teens. Couples work, as well as parenting and the relationship between caregiver and child have been at the core of my practice for most of my career.

My goal is to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space in an effort to empower my clients so they can begin to heal and work towards personal growth. I believe in providing compassionate care for all of life's experiences to everyone. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. I hold certifications as a lactation educator and postpartum doula in addition to my counseling license.

Many families come to therapy feeling like they have tried everything & are at a loss with how to help their child regulate their emotions & behaviors. I collaborate with caregivers to understand & manage their infant/toddler/young child's behaviors through developmental & relational frameworks which create positive change in family dynamics. I work with children (0-8 yrs) & their caregivers to promote secure attachment, bonding, and mutual enjoyment. I also work with individual adults, most of whom are struggling with perinatal mental health, stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, parenting, ADHD, & interpersonal trauma.

I believe in creating a genuine, supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to help you meet the challenges we face in life. I work collaboratively with clients utilizing an integrative approach of therapies to tailor sessions to what will meet your needs best and be relevant to your current situation. I believe everyone has the potential to experience a positive and fulfilling life and my passion is helping those I work with to actualize that vision. My primary areas of focus include: depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, relationship issues, boundaries, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues.
