My passion is to help individuals and couples identify and treat issues that are causing problems so they can move toward personal freedom and improved relationships. I work specifically with EMDR for individuals and have found it to be an amazing tool in therapy. I have been married to my amazing wife for 13 years and have a daughter who is now two years old. I pull from various theories including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am passionate about life, faith, and the family structure.

I approach clients with empathy, valuing each individual's unique experiences. Life challenges can leave us feeling stuck, and I see hope as a catalyst for transformative change. Seeking support is a courageous step toward connection and guidance, not a sign of failure! Whether you, your child, or your family is navigating transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, everyday stress, relationship distress, or trauma, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space tailored to your needs and goals. Together, we can explore the roots of your distress and implement tools for healing, personal growth, and self-discovery.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed & anxious about the present, stuck or fearful of the future, or lost in grieving the past, you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Your grief, pain, sorrows, and disappointments are worthy of care and attention. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and couples navigating life's challenges & I'm particularly passionate about helping couples experience secure bonding that lasts a lifetime. I absolutely love helping couples understand and transform their emotional responses, creating deeper connections and secure attachments, without either person having to sacrifice who they are.

Welcome to Jaeden Roberts Counseling & Alternative Therapies. I work with adults and children, providing individual & family sessions, as well as teaching classes. My approach is holistic, and I see my role as helping clients cultivate their natural strengths and capacities for healing, gain skills/tools to address problematic dynamics and stressors, and address and resolve past trauma. I believe wholeheartedly in the connection between body and mind, and I work to ensure that healing takes place at all levels. All services are strictly confidential, of course. Some sessions available online (via Facetime or email), based on your needs/preference.

Acknowledging our needs with grace and compassion is especially challenging when you or a loved one is experiencing parenting struggles, life transitions, the weight of anxiety or depression, or conflict in relationships. You're searching for a way through, and don't have to do it alone. I believe we're all worthy of being seen, known and deeply understood. My hope is for you to encounter a sense of that during our work together.

I'm licensed in WA, ID & MT. I'm an AAMFT Supervisor Candidate. Burdens of trauma can impact your love life, work life, friendships, and how you see yourself in the world. Each person is doing the very best they can. Within you are strengths I want to build on. Working together we will come up with strategies tailored to you. I work with military families, couples, adults, teens, and foster youth with various challenges (ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, social difficulties, etc.) I provide private pay for family/reunification therapy.

Do you feel disconnected? Do you feel a wall between you and a loved one? Do you feel like you are going around and around in circles but never moving forward? When clients come to see me they often feel hurt, numb, confused, frustrated, lost, or alone. I help clients identify the negative patterns they get caught in, connect with themselves and those they care about most, and support them in finding new solutions to old problems.

Mental Health is important component to your overall health. There is never a wrong time to seek help. People meet with counselors for therapy for a variety of reasons, whether it is for preventative care, you are currently experiencing negative mental health symptoms, or you have gone through something in the past that you want to have a safe place to talk about. Whatever it may be, I can join with you in your journey in achieving your goals.

Looking for help and support for yourself or someone you care very much about? Whether you are trying to recover from something difficult, are trying to improve your relationships with others, or improve your mental health, it takes courage to seek help or to make a change. My goal as a therapist is to help others discover their strengths, as well as learn new skills to help overcome life's obstacles. I can assist in building a toolbox of healthy coping skills for successful emotional regulation and help develop insight and awareness needed to grow and find peace.

Rachel earned her masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Through the combination of her life experience and education Rachel seeks to provide support and empowerment to her clients to improve their connection between mind, body and spirit. She is passionate about helping her clients develop a positive sense of self-worth and purpose within a safe and accepting therapeutic environment.

For therapy to be effective, it needs to be real, honest, compassionate, and focused on the client's goals. That is what you will find with me. Over the years, I have found a common thread among my clients: they long to feel safe, loved, and accepted by those around them. When those feelings are not met, life can seem overwhelming and depressing. Finding connections, learning skills, overcoming traumas, dealing with grief, helping your marriage thrive -- these can be great stepping stones in living life to the fullest. Together, we can find ways to achieve this goal.

As human beings, we want healthy and happy relationships. These are vital to our emotional and mental well-being. We want to be our honest, authentic selves and trust that others will be there for us. However, despite our best efforts, things can get in the way. Our emotions, our past, anxiety and depression all affect how we interact with people we care about. Counseling allows for you to sit with someone who has no judgement toward you and your circumstances. I am simply here to help.

Are you frustrated and feeling hopeless in your relationships? Do you argue with your partner without solving or even understanding what the problem really is? I specialize in working with couples who are struggling to connect. If you are desperate for communication and building trust, counseling can make a big difference. Whether you are looking for an individual, couples, or a family therapist I can be helpful as you discover new answers to the frustrations that have become exhausting. Let me help you focus your energy on actually solving problems, being understood, and feeling peace in your life.

We cannot remove painful memories but I believe that we can decrease the control they have over our lives and come to a place where the pain is not as intense. I believe struggles come from avoidance. When we avoid things like negative emotions or traumatic times in our lives they won't go away, instead, they grow and fester until at some point, they become overwhelming, uncontrollable, or show up in other areas of our lives. The more they grow, the more uncomfortable or scary they are to address, so we avoid them even more until it becomes an unending and ever-growing cycle.

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!

Through the use of EFT (Tapping) and other Mindfulness modalities, I provide processes and exercises that help my clients reduce stress, regulate their emotions and work through the emotional pain from triggering memories. My aim is to help clients release the thoughts and patterns that block their progress in order to enhance their ability to achieve the life they desire. I have helped clients work through grief, phobias, cravings, emotional pain, limiting beliefs as well as childhood memories that were still impacting their lives in the present. My clients leave the session feeling more grounded, centered, mindful, and at peace.
