My name is Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter and I have been a licensed therapist in Washington State for over 20 years. For the last 13 years I have worked in fully integrated mental health and substance abuse programs. During the course of my career I have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric and a tribal clinic. I have provided individual, couples, and group counseling to primarily an adult population. The methods I use come from several different therapeutic models. Some of the specific techniques used are derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I consider myself eclectic in nature and strive to meet the individual needs of people served. I have specialized training in grief and loss, trauma/sexual abuse, anger management, co-occurring disorders, and pain management. It is my belief that we are all capable of healing and reaching a healthy balance in our lives. There is no greater privilege than to take this healing journey with someone and to see how much they can truly achieve. I am very blessed.

Jeanette is very kind and welcoming towards me. She has really taken the time to listen to what I have to say to help me find methods of dealing with anxiety and depression. After a few weeks of her helping me, I feel that I am in a much better place.

Jan is incredibly helpful. It has been a tough time for me, and many of the problems I've had are issues that could have easily kept me reacting unhealthily to life. But because she listened, because she always gave me insights, and because she reminded me to be compassionate towards myself, I've been looking at life with more hope than I used to.
