Therapists in Washington

Hi Friend, This is a little about me. First and foremost I am a regular and down-to-earth guy. At times Counseling professionals and other helping professionals can can get reputations to "high and mighty", "up on a pedestal", or 'holier than thou". I am a regular 40 year old man who is balding and slightly overweight. I have made mistakes in my life as I'm sure you have. I do not have a magic wand to make your life better in a hurry.

My unique experience as a performing artist helps me to find creative ways to move people out of their negative patterns of behavior and transform their lives.

For over 30 years, I worked as a licensed (LICSW) mental health therapist, mental health manager and founder/director of a non-profit health/mental health organization. I’m a psychodynamically-oriented therapist, meaning I believe we exist on many different levels (physically, intellectually, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, etc.). I'm interested how all those levels interact with one another and in how we frequently sabotage ourselves, albeit unconsciously, without meaning to. That form of therapy is not appropriate for all clients, however. Specifically, it is not for clients who are struggling with intense and overwhelming emotions, self-harm and suicidal ideation, psychosis, borderline personality disorder (BPD), deep-seated addiction disorders and various other issues. Those clients need a very different approach that will likely involve worksheets and tutorials designed to help them acquire the skills to regulate their emotions and achieve their stated goals in the fastest possible way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) are two of the more popular and effective exponents of that other approach. That's not my preferred approach, however, noting that each therapist has clients they work well with and others who are not a good fit. I'm experienced in individual and couples therapy; GLBTQ issues; relationship issues; health challenges and end of life issues; grief and loss issues; intimacy issues; abuse, trauma and gaslighting. In a very general sense, we will be exploring your sense of wholeness and authenticity; in how you can attain more integration between the various parts of yourself; in how you can increase your capacity for intimacy, spontaneity and creativity; and in how to better handle the corrosive effect of unfinished business from the past that keeps trying to find closure in the present. I'm also interested in human sexuality in general, including the effects of shame, guilt and repression. For some reason, it may be a good time to say that I myself am spiritual but not religious. Last but not least, I'm interested in how well you are navigating the existential crisis through which we are presently passing, the metaphoric but long-anticipated storm that will affect all of us and that seems to have finally arrived. If this resonates with you, I'll look forward to meeting you in session. If it doesn't, I wish you the very best of luck with a different kind of therapist. You'll need a new match, however, which you can obtain very easily by going to your therapist tab where a drop-down menu should appear giving you that option.
