Therapists in Olympia, WA

I believe in empowering people to reach their full potential by providing services that are strengths-based, practical, holistic, and focused on promoting long lasting change. I work using a style of fostering trust and authenticity,starting where people want and ending when people feel their life and issues have changed and their happiness enhanced. I believe the relationship in counseling is the core issue in treatment. This is particularly important in working with children and adolescents where no work could be done without building a warm, honest, and caring connection. I believe healing comes through the mind, body, spirit connection.

As an agency we have been supporting people via online sessions, with everything that falls “outside the box”. If you are encountering relationship problems, you may have found that it is easier to procrastinate rather than to seek the relationship advice and tools that you need. You may have even been waiting to seek consulting or coaching services for years. Meanwhile your relationship difficulties have only been getting worse. Our consulting services are designed to help you communicate better and make sustainable changes that will benefit you and your family throughout your lives to come back to loving one another.

I have immediate openings. Working with parents of teens is my area of specialty. I also have a great deal of experience working effectively with parents with younger children. I am passionate about working with parents. I work from the premise that relationships are the most important thing we do and that all parents want to be the best they can be. Teenagers face big challenges and need their parens to understand and support them through this important, vulnerable time in a way that helps them learn and grow. They need the skills to think for themselves, make good choices, and act responsibility to be able to face their future.

Hello. My name is James Faust and I provide affordable and effective counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I serve the South Sound community providing mental health, family, and relationship counseling to a diverse mix of individuals, couples, and families.

I offer therapy to relieve anxiety and depression and discover the underlying causes. I also specialize in trauma and PTSD. If you've seen other therapists without results, it may be because you've only participated in talk or cognitive therapy. I've found that deeply ingrained beliefs and coping mechanisms that develop when we're young are often responsible for dysfunction or repeated negative emotions later in life. I offer therapy to help you discover the reasons for triggers and patterns of behavior and how to change them. Unfortunately, I do not take insurance.

Have you drawn your last straw? I work with couples in distress regarding sexual issues, chronic conflict, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD. My focus in couple therapy is to understand and give space to even the ugliest parts of you and your partner that have been preventing the connection you once felt. As we contextualize parts and patterns in your experience, we can uncover the stuck-ness that is keeping you from feeling the satisfaction and safety you seek. While I see many wonderful, burned-out mothers and wives, I also have extensive experience with courageous men who also enter the "feeling" space.

Accepting new clients. The journey to healing begins with a desire to feel better. Together, we’ll work to discover what “better” looks like and what can be done to achieve it. There are many ways life shows us we are stuck in our own story; addiction, depression, anxiety, anger and many other indicators can be present when we’re experiencing such pain. How did we get here? How do we get out? What are we holding onto? Who can we not let go?

My practice is client centered, child centered and family centered. My goal is to partner with you in your journey towards healing and empowerment. Every healing journey is unique. Each of us is tasked with being the champion of our own quest for wholeness. I believe that we are all hardwired for healing and becoming ourselves; that this is a natural process working through us and supported by nature. I am committed to partner with you, walk alongside you and support you on your way. I will need your guidance and participation to do my part.

I am an existentialist therapist specializing in supporting clients through interpersonal crisis, anger management, life changes, and role clarification. It is my goal to help each person live a satisfying life. I work from a person-centered approach and strive to help clients clarify and find meaning in their lives. I believe in the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship and strive to meet the needs of my clients. I also focus on addressing trauma through the practice of Somatic Experiencing.

I help parents and caregivers seeking a better relationship with their 3 to 12-year-old children. While working to help children learn to manage their emotions, I include parents/caregivers to help them understand their child's behaviors. Understanding why your child behaves in a certain way will allow you to respond to them in a more attuned, empathetic, and responsive way.

My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help. Working with couples to save, restore, or provide maintenance is my passion. There’s nothing in the world quite like trauma and the way it impacts us as individuals on many different levels. I can help you deal with and navigate these painful memories and intrusive thoughts to live a healthier life. If you are a parent struggling with a child or family problems, I believe I can connect with and help teach both parent and child to help you be a more successful family unit.

Accepting new clients. Life can be hard, challenging, and at times can feel truly hopeless. There IS hope! Learn to implement key changes and create shifts to overcome even the most challenging of obstacles. As a Therapist/Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I am trained in both psychology and theology, and provide psychological as well as spiritual guidance as requested by clients.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.

I am Sandra McLeod, a fully licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist which means I treat all ages and specialize in treating children, adolescents, and teens. Is your child or another member of your family showing signs of stress, anxiety, depression? Have you or they experienced trauma? Or possibly there are sensory or learning challenges present that may interfere with a healthy, balanced life? I may be able to help.

I believe that the relationship to our self is the most important relationship that we will ever have. A bond with a therapist who witnesses and understands us in a nonjudgmental way can be a wonderful ally in improving that relationship and making positive changes in our lives. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and ancestral/family patterns are just some just some examples that can cause suffering that motivates someone to start therapy. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and other mood disorders that make it difficult to function in life.
