Stress Therapists in Spokane, WA

Do you feel disconnected? Do you feel a wall between you and a loved one? Do you feel like you are going around and around in circles but never moving forward? When clients come to see me they often feel hurt, numb, confused, frustrated, lost, or alone. I help clients identify the negative patterns they get caught in, connect with themselves and those they care about most, and support them in finding new solutions to old problems.

Our life can leave residual effects, based on experiences, leaving us feeling wounded, unheard and alienated from others and ourselves. Therapy is a private space to explore these effects and develop skills to move toward connection and fulfilment in our life. I am motivated by being witness to transformation and recovery. I have had the privilege of being part of someone’s journey of exploring experiences which have created distress in their life. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Boise State University with a Masters of Social Work.

Life is hard and messy. You feel like there is no hope, you have nowhere to turn, leaving you feeling helpless.

Therapy can empower you to create growth, build confidence, and increase your self-esteem. Find the strength to face your journey and empower change within yourself.

Hello! My name is Sammy Klinke and I am a Licenced Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with children and teens who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, and relational problems. My warm and caring nature provides a safe place for children to feel accepted and understood. I am dedicated to providing a nurturing space where children are able to process difficult feelings and experiences. I believe parents are a crucial element in a child's growth and success. Parenting can be hard, I am passionate about supporting parents through their child’s counseling process.

I have worked with a variety of different clients with unique and diverse walks of life. I became a counselor because I believe in people's ability to grow, learn and heal. I am here to help guide and facilitate that growth, to meet you where you are to help you heal, learn and grow. I provide a space of non-judgment, that is safe to walk on your path of discovery and recovery. Life can be a difficult journey at times and for different reasons, but it helps to have someone walk along side you as you persevere through these trials. I believe in hope, that even in our darkest of days, hope is on the horizon.

As a therapist who provides counseling for those struggling with chronic pain, ADHD, trauma, and anxiety, I have a keen understanding of how these conditions can impact all aspects of an individual's life. The lack of validation around experiences often add to the frustration and isolation. Coping with small and large issues, finding appropriate healthcare, and maintaining social relationships can be difficult. These issues can make it easy to lose sight of one’s goals and feel overwhelmed.

We all want to belong. We want to feel capable in our lives and relationships - able to handle transitions, disruptions or disappointments. We want tools to effectively communicate what is going on inside, and have our loved ones hear and respond. We want to be understood and feel deep connection - that feeling of being safe and secure. Sometimes our best efforts at connection get blocked by distress, anxiety, depression or trauma. Counseling can be a place to make sense of your experiences, and learn new ways of connecting with yourself and others, creating that security we all deserve.

I am dedicated to working with people who feel lost mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. When someone loses their clarity, they lose sight of the goals, dreams, and interests that once enlivened them. I would love to help you regain your sense of purpose and passion for life. I am also grateful when I get to work with people who are in a rut within their relationship and need tools to regain greater connection.

I believe that healing can happen through the process of empathic and supportive counseling. I work with mood issues, personality disorders, grief, substance use and more. I utilize a culturally sensitive and holistic psychodynamic style of therapy. This approach encourages development in all areas of life, and pays special attention to unconscious factors, childhood upbringing, trauma, and cultural identity (race, religion, sexuality, gender, disability, etc). I am currently accepting clients for group therapy, that will combine the sport/art of crew rowing with group talk therapy. This is a powerful way of feeling connection.

Welcome! I am a therapist and coach focused on helping high-achieving professionals find less stress and more joy in their lives. I am passionate about this work because of my own experience: prior to receiving my therapy degree I was a lawyer for ten years, first as a litigator and then as senior counsel at Amazon. I know the pressures of high stress environments, and I love helping my clients thrive in them. If you are someone who has excelled academically and professionally yet is struggling to feel fulfilled in day to day life, please reach out and let's work together to get to you to a less anxious, more fulfilled place.

The majority of my experience is working with those suffering from addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety and the stresses of everyday life. I enjoy all types of people and love that I get to see a variety of different personalities and issues every day.

People often come to me after spending years with other therapists, feeling like they haven't made any progress with issues of trauma from childhood or past relationships or things they've witnessed on-the-job if they're a first responder, medical provider, journalist, etc. However, "trauma" can result from emotional abuse, too, not just physical and sexual abuse. It can stem from any authority figure, as well, not just your parents. Many of my clients learn for the first time that they have PTSD or a similar trauma-related disorder. They tell me that they thought only military service members got PTSD. But when we go over symptoms

I am currently not accepting new clients. If you wish, you can email me and I can put you on a waitlist. You have made it this far in life. Perhaps you have been yearning for understanding for the incredible pain that has occurred between family and friends. You are not sure how to change especially if it seems impossible and scary. I am here to compassionately listen and guide you while gaining insight in your world that has left you feeling helpless.

I specialize in couples/relationships, communication issues, sex therapy, and grief and loss, as well as anxiety and sex therapy for individuals. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process, and I look forward to meeting with you.

I work with individuals with diverse backgrounds and the LGBTQIA+ community, from adolescents to geriatrics who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationships, communication, conflict and co-dependency. Often you feel tired, overwhelmed and in need of support and guidance. There is hope in healing! Life is too short to surrender to sadness, resentments, depression, anxiety, and the continuous conflict with yourself or others. I understand where you’re coming from and want to support you in navigating life challenges to help reach your therapeutic goals. You deserve to live your fullest life in the best version of yourself.

My name is Jill Walling, and I am a clinician as well as the owner of Rooted In Hope Counseling. Life is a journey we are all on with unexpected twists and turns in the road. Often, we find ourselves in places or circumstances we did not expect that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, scared, tired and stressed, but we do not have to do it alone. As humans we are all hardwired to be in relationships with others, so seeking support does not mean we are unequipped for the journey or have failed, it simply means we are reaching out for someone to connect with us, offer support, non-biased insight, and guidance.

You're ready for change. You're tired of how things have been, and not just the last two years. If you're looking for an authentic, empathic individual to help guide you along the way, I may be the right therapist for you. I love helping young adults and people early in their careers navigate college stress, peer relationships, and dating, as well as those with established careers, contemplating a change. Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, stress management, relationship issues, grief/loss, and postpartum concerns are all welcome. You're ready: let's get started.
