Adrien Helander, LMHC
About me
Hello! I am licensed in Washington State since 2019, and have been a practicing therapist since 2017. I have experience in helping clients with bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism. I also love helping people with vocational issues, LGBTQ issues, and working with your values and spirituality if that is something that interests you. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I like to collaborate with you and empower you to guide the goals and direction of your own treatment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards managing problems and making a change. I am here to support you in that healing journey. (Office hours: 7:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Mon through Fri. Responses may be sporadic or delayed outside those hours.)
