I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years experience. My goal is to assist you in developing an integrated sense of self, positive relationships, and a lifestyle leading to optimal well-being for you, your family, the community, and the planet. I use a wholistic approach drawing from cognitive-behavioral, family systems, psychodynamic, and health psychology to treat individuals, families, and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, and behavioral or personality issues. I work best with clients who are motivated to understand themselves better and who want to make changes in themselves to improve their lives.
I am certified in EMDR and have helped many clients heal wounds left by childhood abuse, rape, domestic violence, traumatic injuries and other traumas. I also specialize in diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults; health psychology including chronic pain and illness; women's issues; & LGBT concerns.
Let me explain what I mean by "wholistic." I believe emotional, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected. Therefore, I address physical health and spirituality (that which gives your life meaning and connection to what you hold sacred, whether part of an organized religion or not) in addition to emotional/psychological health.

Dr. Cherie Valeithian also hosts the following groups:
Wholistic Psychology, 20701 104th Place SE, Kent, Washington
Second Tuesday at 6pm - 9pm
$40 - $50 per session
Women's Wisdom Circles are Jungian-oriented, multigenerational, Women's Circles exploring the "Ages and Stages of a Woman's Life." The circles are therapeutic in that they are sacred spaces where women can safely explore their own inner lives and reclaim their "wildish" selves, and can deepen their connections to themselves and others. The Circles, founded by Caryn Aman, MA, in Portland, Oregon in 1998, include sisters, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, and friends. Groups are open to all women 18 and older who are interested in self-development within a community of Like-Minded Women, and are open-ended.
