Therapists for Teens in Ridgefield, WA

We have availability! I am the owner and Clinical Supervisor of Magnolia Behavioral and Holistic Health. As your clinician, I will provide a warm, safe, non judgmental space. My therapeutic perspective is a holistic and health minded approach to counseling while focusing on client’s individual needs. My approach may include some humor (at appropriate times), validate clients, witness their feelings, and to truly hear what they are experiencing. My specializations include trauma, grief/loss, women’s and teen issues.

"The harder it is to be a teenager, the harder it is to be a parent of a teenager." Heartprints understands you want your teen to be succesful in relationships, school, and in life. We work together to give your teen the best possible chance for success. Having a healthy family takes hard work. Counseling focuses on positive changes benefiting everyone in the family.

I'm interested in helping you figure out what you want, and helping you get there. Being a teen and young adult is so stressful and weird, with or without other factors like mental health issues. I can help with all the identity exploration that you might need like sexuality, gender, career goals, education plans, self-esteem, etc., as well as issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, and self harm. If your parent/guardian is "making" you come, we can work with that too. Just remember, you're the one who consents for therapy, so you choose what we work on.

Are you or your child worried, striving, and exhausted, yet things don't seem to be as you wish? Are there parts of you ready to give up, while other parts push or criticize you even harder? Does it seem like familiar feelings, thoughts, and cycles go on and on, despite your best efforts? These are common experiences and frustrating. They don't seem to enhance our lives or family. Together we will bring an understanding of what is coming up for you and why. We will develop helpful skills and approaches that increase your odds of experiencing your hopes for relationships worth having, and a life worth living.

Are you (or is your child) struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma? Do you ever feel like you're mourning the childhood you never got? Are you on the cusp of adulthood but don't feel like you're ready to grow up? Are you the parent of a teen that struggles to "just be a kid"? I'm here to help. I specialize in supporting students and young adults who are seeking understanding and guidance. I have a passion for helping young people thrive and find their voice. Together, we'll navigate the challenges of adolescence, tackle life's big questions, and develop strategies to enhance confidence and resilience.

In this chaotic world, I want to help you be able to say "things may not be okay - but I'm okay". Let's work together to find your inner-peace and strength.

One of the beautiful things about counseling is having the privilege to hear individual's stories. Each therapeutic interaction presents with unique history, strengths, and concerns. I operate primarily from an Interpersonal orientation which looks at the counseling relationship as a "safe haven" to facilitate the change each client desires. I believe that relationship - with self and with others - heals. I strive to hold space and actively participate with each client desiring change, counseling and working toward congruence of body, mind and spirit.

As a clinician, I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative one. You are the expert of your own life and experiences. Because of this, I believe that your therapy experience should be tailored to you and your needs. I specialize in working with individuals in relationships that don’t feel fulfilling or who struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, disconnection from thoughts and emotions, low self-esteem, boundary setting, and grief.

Therapy is not a one stop fix but a step towards unearthing self-efficacy, self-esteem, and reliance. Life can be hard, challenging, and difficult, no one should have to suffer and struggle through those obstacles and barriers because there is help. Many times the first step is the hardest, which is acknowledging a problem. I provide a listening experience with empathy and techniques to help in your journey of healing, discovery and understanding. With a variety of therapeutic modules to devise a treatment plan fashioned for your specific needs and requirements.

Life is not like a box of chocolates. Life is like a roller coaster with ups and downs, highs and lows, successes and failures. Therapy is about navigating through it. Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and Early Childhood Traumas interfere with everyday functioning and cause us to make decisions that do not serve us well. At one point, most of our unhealthy coping tools were survival skills. They were beneficial and warranted at the time but now interfere with creating a life worth living. It's time to challenge those outdated coping tools with more useful, practical and efficient ones.

Healing is possible. There have been times in my own life when it felt impossible to experience the life I was meant to live, the joy we are meant to experience, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. If you are there right now, or you feel like you are chained to your past and patterns that keep you from moving forward into hope, peace, and joy, you can overcome. I would love to partner with you on your journey forward.

I am a proud professional counselor. In the last ten years of my career I have worked with university students and individuals with severe persistent mental illness. I was drawn to working in higher education because university students are often times ready to change and dive into working on growing as people and developing new patterns of behavior. I enjoy helping anyone willing to take a few moments to try an experiment with their thoughts, or try something new. It may be a bit anxiety provoking at times but it helps us all to grow and change. I aspire to be an expert in helping clients find relief from their issues.

Creating a safe space for individuals to thrive, grow, and find courage to tell their story, is what I believe my role to be as a counselor. Often times we run from our pain and avoid facing what has been hurting us all these years. It is my belief that counseling provides a neutral and compassionate environment to process through this pain, and finally discover the relief we have been looking for. My hope as your counselor is to help you develop a deeper awareness and personal insight so that you may live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

You’ve seen enough videos, listened to enough podcasts, and read enough articles to know what you should do to fix your problems. Yet, you always seem to find yourself back in the same patterns you wanted out of. Whether it’s porn, substance use, procrastination, stress, or anger, you can’t shake the feeling that you're stuck with them. You may have even started to wonder if change is possible. Often, we feel this way because we are so focused on the symptoms, that we cannot address the deeper pain that is causing them.
