My name is Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter and I have been a licensed mental health therapist in Washington State since 2001. I have 13 years experience working in fully integrated mental health and substance abuse programs. I am not credentialed in substance use. During the course of my career I have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric, and a tribal clinic. I have provided individual, couples, and group counseling to primarily an adult population. The methods I use come from several different therapeutic models. Some of the specific techniques used are derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I consider myself eclectic in nature and strive to meet the individual needs of people served. I have specialized training in grief and loss, trauma/sexual abuse, and co-occurring disorders. It is my belief that we are all capable of healing and reaching a healthy balance in our lives. There is no greater privilege than to take this healing journey with someone and to see how much they can truly achieve. I am very blessed.

I have only had a few sessions with Jan so far but I am really appreciative of her kindness and insight. I have already recommended better help to a lot of people!

She is an experienced therapist that has patience, wisdom, and resources to fall upon. She makes herself available at every minute that I’ve asked. I would strongly recommend her as your next therapist, which would mean it would be more difficult for me to probably get an appointment

Jan is incredibly helpful. It has been a tough time for me, and many of the problems I've had are issues that could have easily kept me reacting unhealthily to life. But because she listened, because she always gave me insights, and because she reminded me to be compassionate towards myself, I've been looking at life with more hope than I used to.
