Existential Therapists in Tonasket, WA

I see patients with anxiety and depressive issues, eating disorders of all kinds, and over all mind and body wellness concerns. I enjoy helping people slow down and be their own healer sifting and distilling goals and values in to actionable movements in life. In this process I utilize self compassion, CBT, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, motivational interviewing and mindfulness combined with nutrition and lifestyle counseling.

YES, Life Can Be Different! I know that you want to live a better life! The problem is that what you need can look very different from what others need. Perhaps, you are experiencing pain from mental illness or broken relationships, and you are looking for a healing guide. You may be feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled with your life, and instead, you desperately crave an inspiring and fulfilling life. Maybe, your business growth has plateaued, or your team has stagnated, and you are searching for help to change. Whatever your path, I believe that life can be different!

As a counselor with more than twenty years experience in both clinical and private practice settings, my goal is to provide you with a safe, comfortable and secure environment where, together, we will identify your counseling needs. Adult clients find my supportive, practical, holistic approach helpful in gaining understanding and insight into themselves and others. With this new understanding comes positive change. I use a variety of therapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, relational, coping skill building, and anxiety reduction.

I believe that humans are constantly evolving, seeking to reduce suffering, and can enhance self-awareness by delving into the depths of their unconscious mind. There are things in life that challenge us, our values, and our beliefs. As a result, our natural response might show up as stress, anxiety, anger, or grief and lead us to start asking ourselves some tough questions about the meaning of life. It is through counseling that we can start to explore these thoughts and become more self-determined and confident in our choices.

Sometimes it can feel alarming to realize our anxiety, depression or trauma is not just in our heads, but in our bodies as well. We might try to change the way we are thinking, but we still don't feel at home in our own skin. We can start to feel afraid that nothing will ever change. As a somatic (body-centered) psychotherapist trained in trauma across the lifespan, it is my honor to support clients in discovering that much more is possible than at first imagined. I enjoy helping clients identify what is right and natural about themselves, and to heal through their own fully-trustworthy inner wisdom.

I honor the incredible innate capacity for healing within each human being. In therapy, we'll explore which parts of yourself are needing attention or internally blocked and tend to them with compassionate curiosity to bring you into a fuller more easeful expression of yourself.

Are you in low spirits? Are you spinning your wheels and finding no traction? Do you want to hide, cry or rage? Do you sometimes feel nothing at all? Enduring stress, trauma and oppression can make a person feel alone, bitter, desperate, hopeless, joyless or afraid. Sharing and processing your inner experience in therapy can crack open and shed light on unique insights and lessons your life has waiting for you.

Suffering from mental and emotional problems can cause you to feel hopeless and defeated. You may believe recovery is not possible and that you're destined to live a life of misery. I am here to tell you that you can heal and be happy instead of sad and anxious. I help individuals who suffer from trauma, anxiety disorders and OCD. I also work well with individuals who struggle to regulate their emotions or participate in self-destructive behaviors. In therapy we work together on understanding how your thoughts, belief systems, and feelings play a role in your life.

Maybe conflict with your spouse never seems to get resolved, or your secret sexual behavior isn't stopping as easily as you thought it would. If you're feeling confused and hopeless, I can help you get clear about who you were meant to be and to find peace. I want to help you find freedom and discard old ways of living. I work with people of all backgrounds but incorporate Christian principles and practices for those who share that worldview. Reach out today and let's develop a plan together based on your unique story and needs.

I specialize in working with people that have complicated medical issues that impact mental health. My background is in health psychology, neurocognitive issues, suicide prevention, OCD and similar other related disorders, as well as end of life. Though I also enjoy working with families, and any other mental health issues. PTSD related to abuse is not my specialty.

Hello, and thanks for considering me to assist in your life journey. I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California and a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with over 30 years of experience working the continuum of behavioral health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, goal setting, and career challenges. My counseling style is to work collaboratively with you to jointly determine your specific needs and to develop goals and an action plan.

New Life Counseling offers a unique concept in personal counseling; forthright and economical quality of service. I work with you to help you understand your thought progressions, your belief systems and your resulting behavior. I want to help you understand how your thought/behavior process influences your emotional and mental health and your relationships. I am willing to be aggressive to help you confront thinking patterns which contribute to the issues and behaviors which have led you to seek counseling.

I work with adult and teen individual clients, and occasionally provide specialized support to parents of teens and families. I enjoy working with people who would like to better understand their emotions; how to communicate them and regulate them. I provide counseling for people with mood and personality disorders. I work with many clients who have a history of self harm, and suicidal ideation/attempts. I also work with people seeking support for substance use/recovery issues, and people on the autism spectrum.

At the core of my therapeutic approach is my belief that we heal and transform through authentic and empathic connection. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we co-create a space to engage what has been wounded and find medicine to heal and grow. Seeking healing and restoration is a brave and courageous journey that goes against all the systems of oppression that seek to wound and separate us. I considered it a profound honor to walk with someone in this journey through challenges, suffering, wonder, curiosity and pain, to find a healing, growth, embodiment and joy that follows us beyond the therapy room.
