Parenting Therapists in Sequim, WA
I have experience helping the high achieving businessperson, the entrepreneur, those recovering and deconstructing from high control groups or religions, parents reliving their own childhood as they learn to parent their kids, creatives, adult children of critical parents, and anyone going through a life transition that is leading them into the unknown.
You want things to change and aren’t sure how. You have an inner voice constantly telling you that you’ll never be enough. You have unrealistically high standards for yourself and beat yourself up for not meeting them, for not being perfect. You struggle making decisions because you worry about doing everything perfectly. You feel unworthy, an imposter always doubting yourself. We will pick that apart. We will push back on the guilt and shame cycles. We will work together to recognize your value and live authentically within the reality that creates.

My doctoral research addressed child abuse and mothering behavior; I learned a lot about how to support parents in becoming the parent they would like to be! I really enjoy seeing parents learn how to provide what their children need, and the pride and new confidence they experience when they're successful.
I strive to provide a safe environment where individuals can reconnect to self, and the expertise to remove roadblocks to success and happiness. If you need emotional healing, to develop life skills, or (re-)discover the joy of living, I believe I can help. I have 40 years of experience working with children and families, often where abuse has been involved, and have helped hundreds of individuals recover from a variety of traumas in their lives, from abuse to car accidents to the death of a loved one. I believe in the power of the individual always to grow toward health.

Welcome! My name is Jennifer Lynn and I am a telehealth provider. That means that I primarily meet with my clients via zoom. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have a passion for people. I believe that therapy can be such a healing process for the person involved as well as those around that person. We have all been given a unique story.

Though some parts of your story may be painful, I believe that, in a safe setting, you can find healing and freedom from those things.

I believe you hold the answers to the challenges that bring you to counseling. It is my job to support you finding them. I aim to work with acceptance, respect, and trust - allowing our work to be guided by you. In session, I listen both for what is said, as well as process – the often unspoken patterns and strategies of relating. I see mental health and well-being as a sense of wholeness. In this state, the many parts of ourselves are in agreement. I firmly believe that even the most disturbing or distressing experiences are potentials for growth and learning.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families for more than 20 years, helping people to become the healthy, productive people they were meant to be. Good therapy is hard work, requiring a safe environment, a trusting therapeutic relationship, and mutual respect. It can be the most rewarding work someone will ever enter into. I want to be the therapist for people who are willing to work to achieve their most desired goals, be it individual growth, compatible, productive relationships, or a more peaceful and nurturing family life.

I love helping couples and individuals discover an adventurous sense that there might be a lot to know about you that you don’t already know. I am the collaborator who wakes clients to the manner in which you co-create the very experiences and situations that are most distressing to you. I support you in freeing yourself from the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that do not serve you, so you can move from positions of unconscious pre-programmed reactivity, to places of conscious and intentional creation.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to address issues ranging from relational conflict to the broad spectrum of mental health. Through an eclectic approach utilizing cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems-based modalities, I explore current problems within the social, cultural, and environmental context of life experiences and the impact these experiences have on both physical and mental health. I often approach the presenting issue as a symptom and endeavor to assist clients in developing an understanding of the function that problem serves and how to achieve that same function with more desired outcomes.

In my 40 years as a psychologist my goal has been to provide the safe nurturing environment that creates a productive client/therapist relationship. I have never forgotten my early experiences in seeking help from a therapist, wondering what it would be like, and if it would really help. I appreciated the understanding and insight I received then, and throughout my life, sometimes with my husband, I have found different kinds of therapy that were helpful to me and to my clients.

I identify as a (W)holistic Psychologist in orientation. Human beings have complex connections between their psyche, socio-cultural background and biological self, and are influenced by personal life experiences. The interplay of these aspects are where imbalances may occur and informative symptoms may arise. In my practice, we would collaborate on identifying these connections and reveal unconscious internal reactions that cause us to act, and react in our interpersonal relationships and life choices. My patients seek an authentic life, with increased self-knowledge and a decrease in pain and symptoms

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
