Therapists in Everett, WA

My clients are usually the people everyone leans on but doesn't feel comfortable being vulnerable. They find it hard to express or even acknowledge their own feelings because they're taking care of others. My clients are strong but need help creating boundaries so they aren't used or abused anymore. They usually have a history of rough childhood experiences they don't feel safe talking about or, don't even remember. They may not consider their past experiences rough, just things that happened. I authored the book, "Mourning the Living: When the Loved One You've Lost is Still Here."

I believe in the therapeutic process and relationship, and find immense joy in offering a sense of normalcy and hope to my clients. Sometimes, our vision becomes blurred and we can't see past the weeds in our life. I'm here to help you wade through the mess; to gain a clearer perspective. Each person has a unique and intimate story to share and I am grateful when invited to take part in one's journey.

I understand that finding a therapist is challenging. It is an important relationship that by its very nature may help you develop new skills and tools.

For those seeking healing, growth and transformation, I work to create a safe relationship in which individuals and couples can explore the hurts of the past, the difficulties of the present and new possibilities for the future. Since the hurts and pains we feel come to us through the relationships of our lives, I see the therapeutic process as one of building a secure relationship where together we can safely understand, integrate and heal from those hurts.

Therapy works. Whatever concerns have brought you here, you can make the changes necessary to find greater happiness and satisfaction in yourself and your relationships with others. This requires dedication, hard work and a willingness to explore behavioral patterns with the support of a skilled caring therapist. As we walk this path together, you will develop a greater understanding of self and acquire the tools needed to meet your goals. Resolving the issues that lie beneath the symptoms you are experiencing, will allow you to live the rewarding life you deserve.

Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your feelings, as though they are in control of your life? Do you find yourself running into the same frustrations in your life or relationships and confused about how to make meaningful change to those patterns? I help clients heal and move beyond difficult emotions and life experiences. Perhaps you are finding yourself stuck at a crossroads. I help clients discover what will bring them happiness and peace and then take the steps of realizing that vision.

Addiction of all kinds can impact Christian families with hurt and shame, and keep them from fulfilling their calling and potential. I specialize in helping Christians find freedom and healing from addictions. My name is Caleb Furr.

I am a Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor and a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor .

I offer a unique, holistic approach to transformational healing and growth through a weaving of shamanism, psychotherapy, and coaching. I am direct, compassionate, and intuitive in working with clients, offering deep integrity, fortitude, and over 3 decades of shamanic practice supporting journeys of healing, personal mastery, and authenticity. The transformational work of embodying who you truly are and why you are here is a beautiful, challenging journey of embracing and integrating all of who you are with deep compassion and fierce love. A journey I invite you to take and am honored to support.

I use a blend of effective elements from several approaches to therapy, customized to suit your particular need, ability and issues addressed. I draw from the disciplines of cognitive behavioral, rational-emotive, bio-energetic and Gestalt therapies to ensure the approach we take has the flexibility to address your concerns as they appear in your own unique life and experience. Conditions successfully treated during fourteen years experience working with individuals, couples and families include depression, anxiety, procrastination and achievement issues relative to work, school or creativity ; alienation, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and compulsive behavior, life satisfaction and identity.

I invite you into a safe, confidential, & caring environment to receive help with anxiety, depression, and difficult situations in your life. Many of us long to be truly seen, heard, & known. Sadly, we have spent years accruing just the opposite: feeling invisible, silenced, isolated, rejected or abandoned. This therapy is collaborative and gentle. I have over 15 years of experience working with people, their emotional needs, & their personal journey towards growth & healing. My hope is that you feel my deep valuing of your life experience, a sense of honor for your uniqueness & my belief for positive change within you.

In our lives, we can find ourselves stuck, confused, overwhelmed, and weary; perplexed about how our life is unfolding. We find ourselves asking what is happening with me? How did I get here? To understand the complexity of the challenges we’re facing as humans, we need to start with pausing to build awareness and perspective. Yet, when we’re tangled up inside ourselves, in our circumstances, relationships, all of life’s distractions, and the conditioning of our past experiences, it’s so difficult to do this work on our own. That is what the work of therapy is about: partnering with a trained guide in this uncharted territory.

I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My experience has entailed working in a variety of clinical settings for over 25 years. Issues I work with include: anxiety, depression, behavior management, grief and loss, stress management, personal empowerment and enrichment, balancing one's mind, body, and spirit, healthy self-care, positive communication and social skills, parenting, behavior modification, marital challenges, family conflict, and life transitions.

With all of the challenges of the past few years, mental health problems, especially anxiety, are increasing. Symptoms of might include persistent worries, self-doubt, avoidance, and self-soothing behaviors such as over eating, attempting to become lost in an an activity that brings temporary relief such as video games, and efforts to over-control oneself. I am here to help teens, older children, and their families find more satisfaction in life. I teach new ways of thinking about problems, help people develop confidence, and teach strategies to reduce the physical symptoms associated with emotional and behavioral problems.

Are you seeking honest and useful feedback? Stuck in thoughts, feelings or behaviors that are causing distress? Are "blind spots" causing conflict in a relationship? My counseling practice is guided by 4 core beliefs: (1) Past or current emotional stress often creates imbalance in behavior, feelings or perception. (2) Awareness of the origins of imbalance and how it manifests in your relationship with yourself or others is necessary for change. (3) A compassionate listener can facilitate self-reflection, personal responsibility, and expression of genuine feeling. (4) Therapy is guided by feelings. I am accepting new clients.

Are you looking for joy, inner peace, and healing? When you are suffering- from depression, loss, failing relationships, an unfulfilling job, anxiety, or any hardships in life- the journey can be lonely, scary, and painful. You might be asking yourself: Why am I always on edge? In these times of pain, fear, and darkness, I want to help you. There is always hope. Peace, joy and healing can be found. It would be an honor to help you find it.

At some point we all reach a place where we think: I really need to talk to someone. We just feel we've lost control of our lives and things are not going the way we want. That can feel terrible. I work with clients to help them make the necessary changes to feel better and function better in their lives and to live a life that is more fulfilling and rewarding. I provide a free initial appointment for clients to meet me and ask questions. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
