Therapists in Mount Vernon, WA

Hi there! I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with twelve years of experience working in a variety of mental health programs. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationship issues, parenting skills, and have additional training specializing in work with trauma. My counseling style is warm and casual. I believe that everyone coming to counseling should be treated with warmth and respect. I believe in clear communication, not complicated jargon, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in a client-centered, humanistic approach that will focus on systems theory while maintaining a cognitive-behavioral approach. What all that means is, this is about you, and your treatment planning and work will be tailored to you, your environment, and your specific needs. Reaching out for support is one of the biggest steps in pursuing change, and here you are. If you are ready to take that next step, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you!

It's not easy asking for help and therapy can seem pretty intimidating. It doesn't have to be, though. Sometimes, it's nice to just talk to a non-friend/relative to get a fresh re-frame, hear some "professional" advice , or just vent about your day. I've been on both sides of the couch and used these learning experiences to bring insight, humor, and a friendly approach to my work.
