Therapists for Teens in Lynden, WA

I am passionate about serving adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. I am interested in rooting out those issues that have remained in the shadows and need to be brought into the light and dealt with. I encourage honest introspection and life application in order to achieve long term healing.

Are you or your teenager experiencing difficulties with homework, sleep, or constantly feeling tired? Is anxiety taking a toll on academics, work, social activities, or your realtionships and causing overthinking and exhaustion? Perhaps your teenager is struggling to complete homework or finding it hard to get out of bed, or they are not enjoying their hobbies as much as they used to. I specialize in helping adolescent girls, individuals, and families face these challenges. These symptoms can make each day feel tiring and draining.

Are you tired of pretending everything is fine? Maybe life has taken an unexpected turn or you are feeling stuck. Perhaps you have a child or teen who is struggling, are a young adult trying to forge your way in the world, are longing to be a mom or have lost yourself in the process. It can feel very isolating and as though no one truly understands what you are going through let alone figure out how to move forward. It’s okay to not be okay AND you do not have to stay that way.

My desire is to support you and your family through the challenges of life. I have over 20 years of experience working with school aged children/teens and parents. My preferred counseling theory is Cognitive Behavioral Theory, but I am familiar with a wide variety of other counseling theories (EMDR, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Systems) that may work better for you and your family. I completed both a M.S. degree in Psychology from Utah State University in 2005 and a M.A. degree in Counseling from Ottawa University in 2016. Currently I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor.

There is a gap between the way you wish life would be and the reality of life. Anxiety and Depression are just overwhelming and it makes it hard to connect to loved ones, get daily tasks done, and think clearly. You notice yourself feeling so disconnected. And you are finding it hard to have the drive to get things done. Where is the joy in life? You remember enjoying things but now everyday is just gray. You want to be able to feel like the Real You again! Not hidden by anxiety and depression.

I embrace the theory that people are not defined by their problems, but their problems are external of them. Through this strength-based approach, I believe a person can be empowered to take control of their life. By exploring one's psychology, culture, system, and spirituality I believe one will find the strength within themselves to change.

Hi! I am a LMHC in Washington State and provide individual and couple's counseling for people struggling with all forms of chronic stress, such as life transitions, family/relationship conflict, LGBTQ+ identity, healing from trauma and abuse, and coping with ADHD, anxiety, or depression. I believe that every person has intrinsic worth and the capacity for resilience. My aim in counseling is to come alongside you to learn how you understand and experience the world, and from there to provide you with the tools to empower yourself to make choices about how to live a life that better aligns with your personal values and goals.

I specialize in nurturing growth and fostering meaningful connections from the tender age of toddlerhood to the threshold of early adulthood, extending up to age 45. With a compassionate approach, I partner with individuals and their families to navigate personal aspirations, social dynamics, and developmental landmarks, My mission is to equip families with tools and structure necessary to amplify desired outcomes and promote harmony within the family unit. I empower individuals by imparting essential emotion regulation techniques, facilitating a pathway toward serenity and resilience in their daily lives.

Outwardly you look like you have it all together; but on the inside, you are riddled with self-doubt, fear or overwhelming sadness. This companion of stress, anxiety and depression has been affecting many parts of your life. You wonder, "Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?" Nothing you have done to calm your mind is working and you’re barely holding it together. You can’t continue the way you are now. You want to find a way out of the darkness that steals your joy and interferes with your ability to be the best version of yourself.

I have extensive experience as a school counselor, drug alcohol counselor and in my private practice helping adolescence navigate and work through issues regarding anxiety, school struggles and family conflict. I also assist and give parents skills in raising teens. My Masters Degree is in marriage counseling.

Lastly, I have close to 10 years experience working in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment.

We are all on a journey. As we face the hills and valleys of life, we need the support of others to walk alongside us to encourage and to navigate our paths. I have experience working with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, parent-child interaction issues, grief, anger, relationship issues, family concerns, school issues and other mental health concerns. I am committed to providing professional, holistic, evidence-based, and compassionate mental health support. I view the counseling process as a collaboration process between me and the clients.

If you find that your relationships seem more difficult than they should be or that it's hard to see a path forward in life's difficulties, then maybe now is a good time to step into a healing counseling journey. With one of the most powerful scientific insights around relationships, emotion, and trauma available today and a capable counselor, you can find the healing and direction you are looking for. I aim to provide this experience to all of my clients and continuously develop my ability to provide professional and effective therapy that heals the wounds of the heart.

I entered the profession of counseling because I believe, despite the worst circumstances experienced in life, people can find hope. Maybe you have found yourself or your child struggling through a difficult experience such as a loss or a trauma and you need someone to come alongside as you learn to live again. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, hopelessness, or shame and are not able to manage this on your own. Maybe you struggle with an eating disorder or an addiction of some sort and have been unable to overcome this by yourself. I am here to help.

Message from Clinical Director: Moments in our lives we can feel alone and hopeless with few places we can turn to. I believe everyone can benefit greatly from engaging in the therapeutic process. My intention is to provide a safe place for you to explore how you may cope better with the suffering as we journey through this life together and get you connected to a Behavioral Health Clinician at TouchStone who will be a good fit for you depending upon your presenting problem and research which best supports the treatment of your presenting problem. Dr. Erika Creydt, Clinical Director, Psychologist

I utilize a therapeutic approach that emphasizes training received in Contemplative Psychology, Cognitive Behavior, Gestalt Therapy, & Emotional Focused Therapy. My approach evolved out of several years of working within the Adventure Therapy field supporting people in awakening to a deeper relationship with themselves, nature & community/group. I have 25yrs+ of extensive experience serving adolescents/young men. I also serve men in transitional life phases, couples struggling with communication & parents/families in conflict. I look to assist clients in understanding their mental/emotional self via a direct empathetic approach.

Do you want a fresh outlook? Are you looking for a new perspective? Do you want change that offers realistic hope? I have been privileged over the past 20 plus years of helping people address change. We all want to avoid addressing personal change. In many ways it is like musical chairs: We cling as long as possible to the perceived "safe" place that we already know, refusing to loosen our grip until we feel sure another safe place awaits. Together we will work to establish attainable goals that are best suited for your life.

I'd love to connect with you and be of assistance in addressing such issues as: trauma history, identity, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, spirituality, and life transitions. I love supporting people who have been impacted by adoption and those who struggle with addiction. I can help you understand the "why" behind your thoughts, attitudes, and actions, and how getting below the surface to the root is the key to healing and growth.
