Therapists in Kennewick, WA

April 2024 - Accepting new clients In-person and Telehealth. Hello! My name is Mark Bick and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I've worked exclusively with youth, teens, young adults, and adults as a counselor specializing in difficult emotions and traumas including anxiety, depression, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, loss of motivation, feeling stuck, and a broken heart. There is hope, healing is possible, and it's time to get started with the rest of your journey into happiness. Let's begin now!

You don’t have to be sick to be Building Healthier Relationships (BHR). BHR is about developing a better toolbox to enhance relationships with yourself and others, and to provide a safe, nurturing environment for learning and healing. Life isn’t just a bowl of cherries—it also includes the PITs. In life, the PITs (Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment) provide the seeds for future cherries. While we are all victims at times, healing starts with moving from a victim mentality of blaming others to the survivor mentality of taking responsibility—not for what happened in the past, but for how to go forward.

Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. Studies show that successful treatment is dependent upon a strong therapeutic relationship. We are committed to providing a collaborative and supportive environment that aids in the development of this relationship. We work with couples and individuals of all ages, focusing on improving interpersonal relationships, increasing self awareness, and challenging negative thoughts and behaviors.

I received both my BS in Nutrition and my MA in Counseling from Bastyr University. My passion is in preventing and treating eating disorders. I have specializing in treating eating disorders for over 10 years. I spent two years working for a residential treatment center and then two years designing and running a partial hospitalization program for eating disorders in Seattle. I have worked with a wide variety of eating disorders as well as helping clients with disordered eating; i.e. chronic history of yo-yo dieting, weight management, emotional overeating, sugar addiction, dissatisfaction with body image, trauma, and more.

Therapy can be a challenging journey of self awareness and processing. This path becomes increasingly difficulty when you don't feel seen and heard. We are black female identifying mental health providers offering a wide range of mental health services. Our goal is to be a one-stop shop for culturally sensitive mental health treatment for all. Our patients come from a range of backgrounds, and participate in services such as medication management, psychological assessment, therapy, and PRP. At One Heartt, Inc. we specialize in providing holistic healthcare in a soothing indoor/outdoor environment.

We all have the ability within ourselves to make changes and to live our best lives, yet often times we can get in our own way of that progress. Difficulties in our lives are often linked to problems in our relationships with people close to us. Therapy can help us examine our behavior and create ways so that we can remove the roadblocks keeping us from improving upon our relationships. I use many dynamic forms of treatment in order to help you reach these goals. I base my practice in the belief that therapy in itself is relationship-based.

Do you feel stuck? Repeating the same patterns, no matter what you do? Struggling to just get by, let alone flourish? Are you experiencing fractured relationships, unhealthy boundaries, and a harsh inner critic? Do you find yourself in the shadow of depression, the grip of anxiety, and lingering trauma? If so, it’s time for a change. The journey toward hope, healing, and a sense of control starts with a single step.

My ideal client is tired of being stuck. They feel like they've been in motion, but haven't really moved. They have begun to recognize that the things they have tried just aren't cutting it. As difficult as this may be to admit, they recognize they need help.

Imagine you're on either end of a boat. As the waves begin to crash against the deck, and the thick fog begins to blanket the surface around you, it's difficult to see and direct your attention to anyone else around you. Relying on voice, do you feel that others respond to you? Is there engagement from those you need support from? Feeling lost, can you find yourself to the lighthouse that guides you to shore? For couples and individuals who have endured attachment wounds, experienced depression or anxiety, and/or are still overcoming their trauma, I am honored to hold space to help YOU find your way back to shore.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step towards improving the quality of your life. Counseling is the process that evokes change through vulnerability, connection, openness, trust, and bringing your inner world into the light. Discovering your purpose, meaning, dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thoughts can alleviate the weight you are carrying around. I enjoy working with people who are dealing with relationship issues (of all kinds!), anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, attachment, depression, trauma, codependency, and negative self-talk. I am also increasing my knowledge around Ketamine and Autism.

Does life feel out of control? As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, trained in ART & EMDR, I specialize in helping individuals find hope, recovery and healing from infidelity, porn/sex addiction, partner betrayal trauma, PTSD, depression/anxiety, grief, loss, and divorce. I am licensed in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Hawaii, and my goal is to provide a safe space where clients find and give voice to their stories and achieve personal growth, empowerment, and change through self-compassion and self-care, while challenging the patterns and barriers which prevent them from living joyfully.

I have been a clinical social worker for over 40 years. My training has taken me from psychoanalytic training to the more recent trends of mindfulness. My passion has always been to help clients reach their optimum potential---to unlock the courage to resolve their conflicts. As I work with families that have been involved in high conflict divorce, I strive to bring balance as the families adjust to their new configuration. I believe the ideal situation for children of divorce is to have parents who encourage and continue to support positive, nurturing relationships with each other.

Everyone encounters times when they feel confused or overwhelmed by life. There may be particular circumstances that arise, repeated patterns of reaction that become unhelpful, or deeper levels of trauma that seek resolution and understanding. I work to help you with an in-depth examination of your life, your patterns of mind, your relationships with others, and your place in the larger world. This work is not always easy, and can in fact, be quite a challenge. I draw on neuroscience, traditional talk therapy, yoga, body movement, mindfulness and meditation to support you as you gain awareness and make choices about your life.
