Integrative Therapists in Camas, WA

- Evening and Saturday appointments available - I have two primary priorities when we work together: 1) Building a warm and trusting relationship so that therapy is a safe and enriching experience, and 2) Finding a style of therapy most effective toward providing relief. I work primarily from an integrative/interpersonal framework but I also tailor the type of therapy to the client's needs; warm and empathetic for those needing valuable emotional support, straightforward and direct for those wanting immediate and tangible results. I take pride in my flexibility to incorporate varied approaches while still effecting therapeutic change for my client.

I regret I do not have any openings at this time. When I am able to accept new patients, I work as a licensed psychologist and board certified biofeedback practitioner specializing in helping individuals gain greater stability and flexibility in their lives through the use of psychophysiological regulation skill building and technology. People with medical challenges, chronic pain, and difficult life circumstances will experience an integrative approach that addresses both mind and body and focuses on wellness, health, and quality of life. When appropriate, we may use evidence supported technology to help you reach your goals.

For the past 25 years, I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep difficulties, troubled relationships, marital distress, chronic illness, and life transitions. My practice currently focuses on working with clients who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. I also see patients with cancer across the cancer continuum, from diagnosis, treatment, to survivorship or recurrence and end of life. I am passionate about working with both of these patient groups.

I specialize in couples, children, teens and individuals. I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health, counseling helps individuals and families reach healthy functioning in their relationships with others. I employ an integrative approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects, emotion focused therapy, solution focused therapy, as well as some Jungian methods, such as sand tray therapy, and child centered play therapy. Sand Tray Therapy is a form of expressive therapy. This non-verbal method of therapy is often used with children, but can be applied to adults, teens, couples, families as well.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience treating a wide range of presenting concerns within adults, families, and couples. Some of these presenting concerns include depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, relationship dilemmas, challenges with life transitions, identity development and exploration, and working through past traumas. My areas of specialty include eating disorders and couples work. I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together we will identify and establish your goals for treatment, and work to bring you to where you feel more positively.

Loss, grief, life transitions - these are part of everyone's life. We need support, and need to feel safe in order to explore our emotional, somatic, cognitive, and spiritual responses to change. We may use the Enneagram, explore mindful awareness, images and dreams, body sensations, and parts of our personality: the inner critic, the scared child, the seeker. For some, climate change is also a source of grief and anxiety. I offer sand play as a rich resource for in-person clients. Our focus is on healing and growth, more peace of mind, expanded self-awareness, and a deeper sense of meaning.

Life can be challenging in many ways...we are often having to pivot due to uncontrollable changes or feeling 'stuck'. All this can lead to insurmountable distress and feeling unmanageable. You can heal, recover, and succeed in positive growth! My experience in counseling is widespread. I've worked in the helping profession over 20 years (minus a few years to parent). Currently, I work part-time with a community based program. There appears to be a big demand for mental health providers and I enjoy being able to help others.

Thanks for visiting my page. Maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed—unsure about what to do. You might be struggling with anxiety, worry, or depression. Maybe you feel exhausted from a relationship that "needs work" or the loneliness resulting from wanting but not having one. Maybe life is good, but you’d like to consult with a professional about how you can achieve greater work-life balance and personal fulfillment. You might want to talk and only need someone to really listen.

My name is Debra (Debi) Jenkins. I am a Cultural and Betrayal Trauma Developmental Life Coach at Share the Flame LLC. I support clients who experience betrayal as trauma on relational, sexual, faith-based, societal, institutional, racial, and or workplace levels. I coach adults (individuals, couples, or those in need of a support group) to process cultural trauma/racialized trauma and minoritization, developmental life trauma, and or sexual betrayal trauma APSATS trained and MBAT-RC trained at the intersections of their lived experiences.

I believe this helping relationship is fostered by positive regard, genuineness and empathy. Together with a client’s curiosity and willingness to discover and learn new things, hope and healing is possible. I am also a certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) and I specialize in helping those struggling with troublesome/compulsive sex and love behaviors. I offer individual, couple and group and partners counseling.

I believe we were created for relationships. Relationships can bring healing, wholeness and happiness. However, despite their powerful role in our life, they can be extremely difficult to manage and can cause us a lot of pain and stress. This is where I hope to be able to help you. I love working with individuals, couples and families to help them on the their road to finding peace and joy in their relationships. At Charis Counseling Associates you will find an accepting and understanding atmosphere where you can be open about the real struggles of life.

I believe every person can find a way toward strength, growth, and healing, but I also know it can be hard to be alone in the process. Hi, I'm Deborah! I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing unexpected challenges, trauma, life transitions, complex relationship and family dynamic issues. I'm passionate about the possibility of meaningful change, because I've been on the other side. That's why I strive to help others find hope through the storm, freedom from the obstacles they face to realize healing, restore relationships and experience abundant living.

We are not individuals who are broken that need to be fixed, we are humans having a human experience and we are constantly in a state of change and transitions that have sometimes served us and sometimes not. People who seem to work well with me are ones that are motivated to make changes and comfortable with awareness of self. I work from a developmental trauma, attachment theory and shame basis of therapy including meeting and nurturing your inner child. It is easiest to reach me by email or visit my website linked on this page.

I see adults, teens, and children (ages 6+) in my practice. Trauma, addiction, and burnout/vicarious trauma are my primary areas of focus with adults. The adults I see are typically looking to resolve childhood trauma, develop healthier relationships, or manage anxiety related to high-stress occupations (first responders, social workers, nurses, teachers, etc). The children and teens I see are often impacted by depression/anxiety, coping with divorce or loss of a caregiver, and/or living with the impact of substance use by a family member.

I offer a unique blend of faith-based spiritual direction along with competent and experienced mental health counseling and effective treatment planning. A majority of my clients are seeking an experienced mental health therapist/relationship counselor in whom they place confidence that their most deeply-held spiritual values are understood and shared. I primarily treat Christian individuals, couples and families that are facing difficulties with anger and abuse, blended-family, sexual addiction, unfaithfulness, marital discord, or depression and anxiety, along with a variety of spiritual concerns.

So many of us have struggles in our lives and we have all felt lost and alone at times. I see my work as a collaborative effort between myself and my clients to improve the quality of their lives and to help them to achieve their goals in a supportive, nurturing environment. I strive always to provide excellent, comprehensive services including formal assessments, individual and family therapy, group therapy, consultation, and psychoeducation. I have worked successfully with children, adolescents and adults with trauma, pain, chronic illness, grief, mood disorders, anxiety, chronic mental illness, stress, depression, and behavioral problems.

We are a group of dynamic therapists, in multiple Washington state locations. Our goal was to create a place for you to settle in and tell your story. Everybody has one, and we want to hear yours. Counseling is a process that encourages you to examine your choices, your thoughts, your dreams, your barriers and your pain in an effort to create the positive change you are seeking in your life. We believe that successful counseling is a collaborative experience between you and your therapist; that finding the right fit is vital to that success.
