As a therapist I have 20+ yrs. of experience in finding solutions to life's changes and challenges that often result in anxiety, depression and stress. I work collaboratively with individuals to build upon existing strengths to overcome obstacles. I want for others what they want for themselves; to be both content and happy in life. My approach to therapy is collaborative and straightforward with honest communication. I bring kindness, compassion, and humor to the counseling process and work from a strengths-based perspective to help you explore issues interfering with your happiness, relationships, or feeling good about yourself or your life. Depending on what you are looking for I'll draw from a variety of theories in our work together including: -Psychodynamic - Exploring how childhood experiences are affecting current relationships and behaviors. -Humanistic Perspective- This is a holistic perspective that attributes human characteristics and actions to free will and an innate drive for self-actualization. -Gottman Method - A research-supported therapy for conflict resolution. -Solution Focused Therapy - Helping you to begin to make changes in the direction you'd like your life to be going in. -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy- This is a solution-focused approach to treatment, oriented toward solving problems and learning skills, helping clients overcome their difficulties by changing their thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. I am so looking forward to meeting and working with you!

I have had seven years of counseling experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, group and family sessions utilizing evidence-based practices. I have also provided faith-based services for clients wanting to integrate their Christian faith into their counseling. I completed my Masters of Arts in Counseling at Western Seminary, in Portland, Oregon, where I received Bible and Theology courses in addition to my counseling courses, as well as specialized courses in how to integrate faith into a counseling setting. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Central Washington University. I have received training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy Plus, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy along with many workshops and trainings for continuing education with depression, anxiety and trauma. I have an additional special interest in early life and family of origin, and how these early experiences and relationships can affect us throughout our lives-- the modality I often use in exploring this is Schema Therapy. I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in your life. Thank you!

Hello, my name is Esteban Angel Cabrera. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over two decades of experience in a plethora of services that includes academia and community health providers. As a son of a migrant seasonal farm working family, I have experienced many challenges in my life. I longed for a sense of normalcy and stability. I learned long ago that these don't come easy or are handed to you. It can be very difficult to manage everyday life challenges let alone any major traumatic events. I am encouraged by a quote I learned long ago "never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dream be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." I believe in making connection with others through validation, encouragement and guidance. We all have struggles in our lives and I believe that struggles are not failures but it means you are succeeding in "not giving up!" The counseling experience begins with developing a safe and consistent rapport that allows the counselor and client the space to grow into a healthy therapeutic alliance. Therapy can be quite difficult and having a safe environment to talk about and process life's difficulties is so very important. I am excited in working with you to help you experience the great things that life has to offer you.

Hello, my name is Feng. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state. I work with individual adults in my practice. Traumatic experiences vary across a wide range for individuals, and it does not have to be something physically violent to leave trauma in our life. Trauma can be anything painful that we experienced throughout our life. Without adequate resources and appropriate support, these experiences can bring a lot of emotional suffering and damage to our quality of life. I utilize a mindfulness approach with evidence-based treatments, like EMDR, to address Trauma. I also enjoy working with LGBTQ+ and immigrant populations. It is not easy to reach out or to ask for help, and sometimes it is necessary for us to get support. Recovery is a tough journey and I will be honored to help you to start the journey.
