Marriage Counseling Therapists in Spokane County, WA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate (LMFTA). What this means for our sessions is that I will provide a professional guiding hand for your individual, relationship, or family therapy journey. Your voice is extremely important and a vital piece of my practicing philosophy is that this will be a safe space for said voice to be uplifted through our work. Some of the theories we might concentrate on together are solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and experiential therapy. I also provide an affirming environment for queer, gender inclusive, and multiculturally competent care.

I combine licensed mental health therapy with professional life coaching to provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I work best with clients who are self-driven and motivated, who need support, guidance, or inspiration. I believe that our culture has created disconnection and emptiness and many of us feel alone, misunderstood, and isolated. It is my personal mission to reconnect with others in order to heal the mind, body, and spirit through mental health therapy, coaching, connecting, and creating shared meaning.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I enjoy working with motivated couples who are tired of repeating negative cycles within their relationship/marriage. I’m dedicated to helping my couples identify & stop those cycles and increase security, intimacy and communication. I also work with individual adults and teens who find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, challenging life transitions, relationships and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe space for my clients to unpack their thoughts and feelings and find confidence as they discover and connect to their most authentic selves.

Hi there! My name is Wes Walton. I have a passion for therapy grounded in scripture and deeply value the power of relationships in our lives. I believe they greatly influence the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. In turn creating patterns of behavior and relationships we desire to change. I have experience working with various traumas, marital conflict, families, men's issues, father wounds, spiritual difficulties and challenges relating to God. While Christian/Biblically focused therapy is my passion, I welcome all no matter the difference in beliefs.

I am client centered, caring and feel a commitment towards the my client's well being and their personal goals in counseling. I have a diverse training background that includes behavioral health, addiction, sandtray, and relationship/marriage training. While I have a eclectic background, I tend to use a cognitive-behavioral approach, stress management, including relaxation/guided imagery, and supportive therapy. My clients tell me they feel cared about. I am down to earth and calm. I aim for results and enjoy working with clients who are depressed, have relationship issues/adustment/loss, anxiety/OCD,and chronic pain/medical issues.

Counseling is a wonderful step toward desired change, and it can also be a bit daunting at first. That's why I take time to form the therapeutic relationship at a pace that is comfortable for you. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other various presenting problems. I am especially passionate about helping clients with relationship issues. We often engage in patterns that leave us feeling isolated or frustrated in our relationships. Learning new ways to tune into ourselves and our partner can help ease feelings of distress and improve connectedness.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Military service member I hold a deep passion for working with active duty, veteran, and first responder populations. It is my goal to create a safe and comfortable space for you to explore what is holding you back from connection with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. As your therapist I may ask you to step outside your comfort zone, sit with uncomfortable emotions, and practice skills. The beauty of the therapeutic relationship is that you are not alone in the serious or fun parts of growth. You will see my personality in our work together, and I hope I get to see yours!

Thank you for considering me to be the person who will walk alongside you in your journey toward mental and emotional health. You have found yourself on my page because you need help. Life is not easy, and can be particularly cruel to many. From the moment we begin our lives we start to build a toolbox full of tools to help us cope and move through our experiences and relationships. Sometimes the tools that we have may no longer be serving us and may actually be hurting us. It can be so difficult to see which tools may be keeping us from the life we want without the help of an unbiased and non-judgmental outside perspective.

My M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy afforded an elevated perspective of the human condition through the lens of larger influential systems. This framework shifted psychotherapy away from exclusively looking at the individual to looking at the family and other significant relationships to understand the context of a client's struggle as well as their potential for healing.
