I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state with four years experience working with individuals struggling with addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorders. I have worked with women who were in domestic violence relationships living in shelters. I have worked with women in recovery in substance use treatment services wanting better lives for them and their children. While in this position I learned a great deal about about trauma and survival. I went back to school in my early 40's transitioning from an automotive mechanic to mental health counseling. I have lived in California, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Washington state where I currently reside. My counseling style is client centered and eclectic with a little humor. I have recently been training in eye movement desensitization reprocessing or EMDR and internal family systems. I think of myself as a culturally competent individual with a open mind and try my best to be nonjudgmental. I am Native American and have a spiritual perspective and believe all living things should be respected. Change is hard and it takes courage and hard work, it can be scary at times, however you do not have to do it alone. I would like to work with you in seeing you through to the end and a life worth living. Life is a journey with lessons that can be hard and rewarding at the same time. I try and provide two skills per-week, you can use what you want and leave the rest. These skills do work, however only if you practice them.

35 years offering treatment
Hello and welcome. My name is Mary Murphy, licensed mental health counselor with 35 years hands-on, practical approach for greater harmony, greater well-being. Experience: Full-spectrum of major mental disorders and substance abuse, along with chronic struggles that negatively impact the quality of our relationships and our own sense of fulfillment. Excessive dependency, poor handling of our own reactions to provocation and the consequences of recurring personality flaws result in strained relationships, possibly becoming rejected or hurting the others, unnecessarily. Instead, one can practice and improve our presentation resulting in far better reception we receive and value people hold for us. Win-Win is a good bet. So often people feel stuck in a rut, making the same mistakes again and again. Angry, isolated, insecure, lonely. Poor self-image with depression hold us back, as does anxiety about making changes to enhance life rather than just tolerating conditions. Conflict within the family or at work create enormous stress. Grief and loss from death of loved one, divorce, layoffs, estrangement all take a terrible toll. Starting over at any age can be accomplished, but not easily. Lingering resentment or the overwhelming panic of displacement are true obstacles. The good news is that there is real potential for improvement and I wish to help getting started on a better path; more dynamic, secure and energized. The Hebrew Book Of Proverbs offer timeless advice that can be utilized for specific relief and guidance. Beautiful words of healing and grace. The trick here is to combine this ancient philosophy with practical (clinical) tools to make it a daily habit, and then enjoy the fruits of this endeavor. Such tools are proven to assist the healing process, speed recovery, find greater success. A very worthwhile venture. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Time to begin. Can you get better? Indeed!

Hello! I'm James "JD" Dinh, (They/Them pronouns) and I'm a clinical social worker (LCSW in Texas and LICSW in Washington). I have worked with adults of all ages spanning a wide range of concerns but have particular interest in working with trauma, as well as gender, sexuality, and identity. I'm openly queer, non-binary, polyamorous, and a person of color (Vietnamese). I've helped many clients address issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, exploring identity and living your most authentic life. My counseling style integrates a few different approaches and is customized to the needs and personality of my clients which often evolve over the course of counseling. I will give you space to process and explore safely while identifying specific strategies to start moving towards your goals and living in line with your personal values. For trauma-related concerns, many of my clients choose EMDR which is an evidence-based approach for addressing and releasing trauma so you can reclaim your life. Wherever you are on your journey, I will be with you to explore and support your growth.

I am licensed in Washington with 20 + years of professional work experience. I assist those who have become aware that the story they are currently living is no longer serving them well. Together we will create a therapeutic environment that cultivates this initial awareness. Through the application of evidence based therapies, compassionate boundaries and a mind/body integrative approach, we work to resolve the past dysfunctional or traumatic parts of your story. Applying a mindfulness approach and cognitive based therapies such as CBT, motivational interviewing, movement, somatic therapies and family systems, we may bring an increased awareness and balance to our mind/body. Aligning ourselves with our spiritual center, we may create a new intentional, energetic story that allows healing and cultivates the possibility and choice for wellbeing. I further offer nature therapy and grounding/yogic guidance. I will aid you in identifying symptoms of discomfort and disconnection, common in overstressed, underachieved lifestyles that may invoke self injury, self denial or self harm. Together we will develop a compassionate wellness plan that allows you to safely transition from this undesirable, self-concealing storyline, to one of presence and possibility. My path as a therapist has paralleled my healing journey from a temporary paralysis associated with Guillain-Barre’ syndrome and continues with my practice as an LMHC in WA , and my creative work as a musician. I practice with the belief that you can resolve your dysfunctional story and with (y)our applied awareness/creativity, you may author a new, intentional story of health and happiness. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, moderate depression, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, career difficulties, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Is BetterHelp right for me?

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs.
