Stanwood is by and large a bedroom community for Seattle, but this doesn’t stop it from being a close- knit community and a nice place to live. It can be difficult, however, to live in such a small town if you are suffering from mental or emotional issues.

If you are suffering from mental illness or emotional distress, Stanwood-area counselors can help. These licensed therapists are able to help you face the trials in your life and get back on the track to enjoying your life. Contact a counselor today.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State with my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction. My focus has been on treating Co-occurring addiction and trauma disorders for the last six years. I work with Veterans and civilians dealing with PTSD. I am an evidence based focused therapist and also use Motivational Interviewing to aid in processing barriers to change. I believe it's important to meet my patients where they are at and to help them reach their goals through compassion, education and providing a non-judgmental environment to explore their past and present experiences. I welcome and encourage family engagement to the extent my patient is comfortable. Therapy is a privilege for me to provide to any patient willing to allow me to join part of their journey. I will provide a safe environment for you to explore, learn and grow in the direction you choose. I am not here to to tell anyone how to live only to reflect and explore the impact your thoughts and emotions have on your life. To be transparent with my patients I do share that when in a video session you will notice that I wear dark glasses to help me with a chronic light sensitivity issues. BetterHelp doesn't allow me to wear these in my photo but it is something I do wear at all time. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I currently live in Japan. Due to the time difference I will have limited options that work for my Washington State clients.

Hello. My name is Heidi, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and National Certified Counselor (NCC); I am also licensed to practice in the State of Idaho. I have Masters of Education in Counseling Psychology with over 10 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and intellectual challenges, among others. I enjoy working with clients from many different cultural and religious backgrounds. However, as a Christian myself, I specialize in counseling from a Biblical perspective. I accept, encourage, and welcome the exploration of all spiritual beliefs. How we think determines what we believe and what we believe determines our behavior. We will explore negative thoughts that are leading to unhealthy behaviors. As thinking changes, long-lasting behavioral change is possible. My counseling style would be considered eclectic as I use concepts from a variety of theories. Every individual is unique; thus, I do not believe in ‘one size fits all’ assembly-line counseling. Rather each individual is unique and requires an individualized cooperative therapy plan. Are you ready to be inspired to change? I am a change agent who, in tandem with you, will work to create and inspire positive change.
