Behavioral Issues Therapists in Spokane County, WA

My ideal client faces behavioral issues, trauma, or parenting struggles. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to heal and want practical, evidence-based support. Their goals include managing mental health, healing from trauma, improving relationships, and enhancing/supporting parenting. They seek a trusted therapist to guide them with empathy and expertise, helping them regain control, find stability, and create a healthier future. They're ready to invest in their well-being and make meaningful changes.

When first beginning treatment, I focus on building trust and relationship. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and we will move at your pace. I am relaxed in my practice and my aim is for this to be a time that is helpful for you. I incorporate many different treatment modalities depending on the individual need of the client. I specialize in treatment of anxiety disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; behavior disorders, depression, and ADHD.

Throughout life, the struggles we face can leave us feeling as though we are wandering through a never-ending desert without shade, water, or comfort in sight. This can lead us to feeling exhausted, alone, and hopeless. Juniper NW Counseling is about offering that moment of shade, a space to rest, heal and be restored. Whether your desert is depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, isolation in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, or parenting challenges, I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share about the most vulnerable parts of your desert.

I am a busy mother of four working on my Ph.D. and I love helping others on their journey through life. I am a reader and a huge football fan, but helping others is my passion! I work with clients from six years and up who have dealt with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, difficult life changes, stress, and ADHD. I work to help my clients understand any underlying circumstances while working towards building self-confidence, developing coping skills, and learning how to self-regulate their emotions.

With over fifteen years of experience, you know that you are working with someone that is competent, and knowledgeable. With extensive training in Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), you will receive evidence based care which provide better outcomes.

DBT skills have the power to transform your life by improving your ability to regulate emotions regulation, tolerate distress, be mindful and ask for what you want while maintaining your self-respect. If you are struggling with negative thoughts, rumination, harmful behaviors or relationship difficulties, DBT can give you the awareness and skills to make changes! I work with clients who struggle with managing emotions or want to change specific behaviors. I have extensive experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and personality disorders. For more info check out my website at www.fortifiedudbt.com

I work closely with with children, adolescents and families to help them figure out how to lead happy healthier lives.

I believe in a person centered approach to counseling that is focused and driven by the individual needs of each client.

Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, the coping skills we have learned simply are not enough and we feel overwhelmed and out of control. There is a solution to almost every problem. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

Are you experiencing a major change or stressor in your life? Are you having trouble making decisions or formulating a plan? Life has a way of confusing even the most well-laid plans. It can help to have someone there to listen, to accept and to help make sense out of the confusion. I want to help you clarify your goals and values so that you can overcome life's obstacles.

Sometimes the life we want and the life we have are not the same. With proper support, however, there is a way to integrate reality with your hopes and goals. If you have had difficulties in your relationships, career, or daily life, I want to help you navigate a path toward integration and wholeness. I believe that with compassionate support and a curious look into one's thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and motivation, everyone is capable of change. My experience includes (but is not limited to) working with children, youth and adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, family conflict and life transitions.

Mental disorders came from different origins in your life, such as Depression, Alcohol/substance abuse addiction, anxiety, grief, self-harming, suicidal and homicidal ideations, and mood dysregulation. In the long run, these caused you despair and hopelessness. And therefore, you have not been fully functioning as you would love to. No matter what or where your issues streamed from, my goal is help you reach your optimal level of function. I do believe that if everything in your life is fully functioning, then you will be able to enjoy your life to the fullest.

I believe therapy should be a space where people feel accepted and secure to lead and discern what is most supportive for their therapy journey to flourish. My background working with individuals, families, and children has equipped me to support those looking to conquer individual goals, raise a healthy family unit, or support their children. If you're a parent looking to enhance your skillsets, or if you're seeking the right person to support your child- that is where my heart is. A passion for serving those struggling with daily life encourages me to walk with each person toward healing.
