Hello, my name is Cheryl Osler. I received my Bachelor of Nursing from Seattle Pacific University, a master’s in community mental health nursing from the University of Hawaii, a master’s in clinical psychology from Argosy University, and a Master of Studies in Law, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern California. I am a Registered Nurse, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 20 years of experience working with mental health clients. I have worked as a licensed mental health counselor in private practice for ten years specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat individuals, couples, and families dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, grieving, and attention deficit disorders. Additionally, I volunteer as a Disaster Mental Health Counselor for the American Red Cross. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. CBT is commonly used to treat a wide range of disorders, including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with a specific problem. During treatment, people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that negatively influence behavior. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in learning new skills and supporting you during this challenging period.

Hello, my name is Marie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Maine and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I attended Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon and graduated with my M.A. in Counseling in 2017. My approach to therapy is to adapt therapies that are best aligned to the specific needs of the client. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I view counseling as a team effort where the client and counselor agree to work together to help you, the client, to recognize strengths, identify needs, understand conflicts, discover new options, set personal development goals, and make informed choices. It takes courage to seek counseling to work on personal issues. I believe that through counseling hope and healing can be experienced. I have personally benefited from counseling and would consider it an honor to assist you on your journey to hope and healing.
