Female Therapists in Riverside, Spokane, WA

Hello, my name is Renee Mahan. I received a master’s degree in social work from Northern Arizona University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with 12 years’ experience in the mental health field. I help clients with anxiety, depression, mood, self esteem, trauma, and stress. I commend you for taking your first step towards prioritizing your mental and emotional well being. Its not easy, and choosing to be on this journey of growth and healing shows great courage and valuable insight. You don't have to walk this journey alone, I am here to support and empower you in your journey of growth and healing.

Are you looking for a non-judgmental environment where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to make positive changes? If so, I invite you to reach out. My mission is to help clients transform their lives by equipping them with practical tools and a belief in their own capacity for change. I work with clients to explore past patterns, address current concerns, and cultivate a healthier mindset.

In my ideal client, I see someone grappling with common but impactful challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. They're seeking support, understanding, and practical strategies to navigate these hurdles. They crave a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their emotions and experiences. Their ultimate goal is to achieve mental wellness and emotional resilience, to break free from limiting patterns and to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and fulfillment. They want to feel heard, seen, and understood, believing therapy can empower them to unlock their full potential and live a life aligned with their values.

As a metaphysical psychotherapist and holistic healer, my work lies in the intersection of spirituality and the embodied human experience. I offer a loving space for high-vibrational healing – healing that honors your lived human experience, as well as your divine, intuitive knowing. I help clients get back into their bodies to reconnect with their innate wisdom and intuition, and attune to their own inner guidance system. When we cultivate an awareness of both our divinity and humanity, we become who we intended to be: whole, authentic, embodied. We gift our unique beauty to ourselves and the world.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, or going through some significant life changes. In that case, I am here to help you. I can assist you in developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and utilizing tools to manage your mental health effectively. Having worked successfully with teens and young adults in various settings for over 13 years, I believe healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship. I aim to work with clients who are willing to help themselves and are open to the therapeutic process.

My speciality is working with those who want to improve their overall wellbeing. Do you feel stuck in stress, sadness, trauma, numbness, or isolation? Perhaps you struggle to maintain relationships, or find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy boundaries. You may question your own worth and struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings with those in your life. Whatever your struggles, you are most likely hoping for more peace of mind, connection, confidence, and compassion. Just like our bodies heal from scrapes and bruises, we are also built and meant to heal emotionally and mentally. Counseling is a great way to gain life skills.

I have had the privilege of working in community mental health since 2016 and have most enjoyed being able to meet with and take the journey with clients from many diverse backgrounds, facing various mental health challenges. Most humans want and need to be understood without the fear of judgment in order to thrive and create positive change. I am able to help meet the needs of those facing trauma, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, ADHD, relationship challenges and phase of life challenges.

Welcome. Navigating the challenges of today's world can be hard to do alone. This journey can feel even more difficult when we are dealing with negative feelings and stressful events. I believe therapy is more than a place to talk about our feelings and experiences. Therapy should provide a warm and welcoming safe environment. It should be free of judgments and offer you the space to form a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship on your own terms. As a therapist, I strive to provide transparency and compassion in a setting that is never rushed and always client lead, via Telehealth.

Meaning of life is different for everyone and everyone has their own mission that permits one a great sense of fulfillment in their lives. We are unique when dealing with challenges in life, and at times might need support in finding a purpose that promotes inner growth and self-awareness. Finding solutions can become challenging at times but with an engaging therapeutic relationship, one's challenges become meaningful and solvable feats. . How can we make sense of obstacles that damp many of our dreams and plans for life? How do we confront difficulties with curiosity and self-awareness

I serve clients from a plethora of diverse backgrounds and situations; I enjoy learning about cultures, traditions, and customs. Our differences are our natural strengths, these differences don't separate us, they bring us closer together! With this perspective I enjoy working with clients that are looking, and ready, to embrace the challenges they are experiencing. Clients often encounter multiple obstacles that intersect with their past, present, and future selves. My goal is to deliver the appropriate treatment that is needed for clients to experience optimal relief.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and have enjoyed doing this work for 21 years. I am extensively trained in object relations, attachment, Circle of Security, and EMDR. I value each person I see as an individual with unique history, needs, and approach to life. I don't feel that it is ever my job to tell you what to do in your life. It is my job to help you discover what is blocking you from living life the way you want to live it, and then help you to clear those blocks out of the way.

My counseling approach is relational, creating a foundation of unconditional positive regard, resilience and empowerment. I believe counseling can offer a sense of safety and warmth that allows for personal growth to unveil, fostering positive changes in all aspects of life. This can be particularly powerful during times of suffering and adversity that can affect us all. The therapeautic journey, while challenging, may offer time to heal, promoting wellness in the mind and the body.

It is in relationships that we experience healing and change. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, valued, and supported as we journey together in the work that you have decided to do. Taking the first step to reach out and ask for help can be difficult and finding the right person you can trust is crucial to improved mental wellness.

My ideal client is a diligent individual who often excels in their career but struggles with life transitions, work-related stress, or interpersonal relationships. They seek to balance professional achievement and personal satisfaction, aiming to improve communication skills, manage anxiety, and cultivate robust coping strategies. In a confidential and supportive therapeutic environment, they desire to explore their emotions, behaviors, and underlying motivations, gain clarity, and formulate effective strategies to navigate life's challenges. Driven by a desire for comprehensive growth, they are ready to engage in therapy.

Are you disconnected from life and unsure of what you want? Are you stressed and overwhelmed but never fulfilled? Do you know your potential is beyond your current life circumstances?

I created Beyond Mountains Counseling with the goal to intentionally give space to each person that comes into my office. My goal is to have everyone I interact with feel seen, heard and on the path they desire after our sessions. You're the expert in your life and I hope I can be someone you trust to walk alongside to help guide you and give you ideas on next steps.

I am a licensed mental health therapist in Washington State and identify as a cisgender Latinx woman who also speaks Spanish. I have been working in the counseling field for over 8 years and have really enjoyed working with young children and their caregivers. I have specialized training and techniques that can support you and your family strengthen your family unit and build up your supports and tools you need to have better communication while strengthening your relationships.

You have been designed and created for excellence. This may not feel true at the moment, but you can borrow my belief for awhile. Have you found yourself frustrated that you can't live the life that you have imagined? I’m right there with you… and let me tell you, there is hope. Perhaps you struggle with self-criticism, shame, self-hatred, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or even high levels of productivity that have all impacted your life and relationships in an uncomfortable way. You may even feel beyond help or that your life will never be what you would like it to be.

Now accepting new clients! Welcome to the first step of your therapeutic journey! Therapy is a chance for us to explore the inner workings of our minds, beliefs, and practices in order to live more holistic, fulfilling lives. I prioritize working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who are a part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community; however, I also have experience working with individuals and couples from all walks of life.
