More therapists should be transparent with their outcomes because you deserve to know exactly what quality of service you'll be receiving. I provide an in-depth look at my success rate on my site. I'm a psychologist that provides therapy, but I also specialize in testing for clinical diagnoses, adult ADHD, pre-surgery bariatric assessment, parental pre adoption evaluations, psychological hardship for immigration matters involving I-601 waivers, and asylum application evaluations for the I-589. I'm available on Saturdays and in the weekday evenings.

Informed by liberating-direct-action with workers, survivors of mental health incarceration, and skilled professionals, I value lived-experience just as much as highfalutin philosophy. I believe in the universal human drive to transform + heal through caring community connections, self-awareness, access to dreams by way of meeting basic needs, and the responsibility to recover personal and collective strengths. Healing of the self is healing of communities, and ultimately our interrelated societies. In place of paternalism, I offer avenues for developing your self-trust.

Steven’s academic journey culminated in a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Adler University in Chicago, Illinois, which he earned in 2013 from a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredited program. His education was heavily influenced by the theories of Dr. Alfred Adler, a prominent psychoanalyst and psychotherapist known for his work in individual and community psychology. Steven immersed himself in Adlerian principles, which emphasize the interconnectedness of individuals within their interests and the importance of understanding the social context of mental health.

Does it feel like no matter what you do, things never change? You’re running on all cylinders, trying to be everything for everyone, including yourself. You tell everyone that you are fine. Managing. But you’re noticing how it’s impacting you. You realize that things need to change. Whether you're experiencing the impacts of systemic oppression, self-esteem, or relationship issues, know that you don't have to be alone in this journey. No two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand and address the root cause of those issues.

My name is Jo (Jordan) and I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) in the state of Washington. I aim to join with clients to use evidence-based interventions that allow them to overcome the perspectives and patterns in life that don't serve them- especially those that stem from big and small traumas that create distress in our daily lives. The modalities I use are approached from a strengths-based lens, though I primarily work with clients who are interested in EMDR Therapy. It's often disheartening to know that trauma changes the brain, but healing changes it too and brings you back to self-worth, and to YOU!

Common to the human experience are periods of sadness, fear, anxiety, harm, and loss. Various factors may be deriving this pain, such as our most significant relationships, the ways we have learned to relate to others, and oppressive societal and cultural systems in which we live. Although relationships are often the source of our deepest wounds, they hold the possibility for our greatest healing and transformation. Therapy is a place to explore our life's story within a safe and secure relationship. It is a courageous act to begin therapy and enter onto a path towards fulfillment, freedom and wholeness.
