Marriage Counseling Therapists in Spokane, WA

Sometimes life can feel like a rollercoaster that we somehow can’t seem to exit, don’t know how we got on it in the first place, and are then having to white knuckle it as best as possible. That is why I went into this field to not only learn tools to help others work through challenges, but also provide a space to feel safe, seen, and fully understood without judgement. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you, help you grow, and help curate security with yourself, your relationships, and feel more emotionally balanced.

You cannot recover from anxiety by just remaining calm, or depression by just being positive. Recovery from the battles of life takes time, patience, and releasing old habits. Whether you’re facing mental illness, parenting, relationships, or life transitions; change must occur in order for peace to resurface. It's okay to feel unstable, it's ok for things to not be ok, and it's okay to ask for help.

My experience is primarily with children, young adults and couples. I also work with depression, anxiety and traumatic experiences. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and have extensive training in couples counseling techniques. I enjoy humor and like to use it in therapy when appropriate.

Our early environment teaches us how to interact with ourselves and others during times of security, as well as moments of vulnerability or overwhelm.

Together, we will work to loosen these entrenched patterns to help you rediscover your sense of agency.

My name is Jill Walling, and I am a clinician as well as the owner of Rooted In Hope Counseling. Life is a journey we are all on with unexpected twists and turns in the road. Often, we find ourselves in places or circumstances we did not expect that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, scared, tired and stressed, but we do not have to do it alone. As humans we are all hardwired to be in relationships with others, so seeking support does not mean we are unequipped for the journey or have failed, it simply means we are reaching out for someone to connect with us, offer support, non-biased insight, and guidance.

Across the prairies of our country when a storm is approaching, cattle can be seen running away, which only elongates their discomfort. Buffalo on the other hand, can be seen turning and charging into the storm. As a result they reduce their duration of suffering and make it to clear skies sooner. My goal is to connect with individuals and couples who are navigating the storms of life and help them become the best versions of themselves. I utilize a warm and casual style that facilitates an environment of trust and support, allowing clients space to build effective skills and develop resiliency for the inevitable storms ahead.
