Hi! My name is Rick Westby. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Coeur d Alene, ID, also licensed in the great state of Arizona. Our son and I own a private practice in Coeur d Alene, with another branch office in the Silver Valley of North Idaho. I previously operated a private counseling practice in Maricopa, AZ, serving all manner of folks, from youth to elderly, male and female, court or self referred. I work with relationship difficulties, parenting, blended families, addiction, anxiety, depression, and that general sense of "I don't know what's going on with me." I believe nobody is broken and tend to focus far more on solutions than problems. I'm told I have a pleasant, laid back demeanor. I find its helpful to look at our troubles with hope and humor and, focused on solution, brainstorm your values and goals and craft a plan together that leads to where you want to go. Life seems somewhat challenging at times; if we remember occasional life difficulty is part of the journey, we can be at peace and find contentment even when things aren't going our way. I have master's degrees in Professional Counseling and Addiction Counseling from Grand Canyon University, as well as a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. I came to this profession later in life after a lot of years in sales and hospitality, and some time far less focused on career than on parenting. I have personal experience and perspective on many of the curve balls life tosses our way, including marriage and divorce, addiction, blended families, adoption, and career change. If you are ready for help getting past a hurdle in life, or navigating the pathway to peace, I'd be honored to spend whatever time and effort it takes to help move forward, in your valued direction. Lets have a healing conversation.

I have spent the past two decades counseling and supervising clinicians who work with some of society's most vulnerable members. I possess a vast amount of experience working with children and adolescents who face various mental health, social, and behavioral challenges. I have a master’s degree in psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I also obtained my certification as an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), which allows me to supervise clinical candidates for state licensure. I am currently the Clinical Supervisor for Healthy Body Healthy Mind, LLC. I previously held the role of Senior Primary Therapist for ten years in the Children’s Partial Hospital Program (PHP) at Princeton House Behavioral Health located in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Before joining Princeton House, I worked with Cranford Counseling Center, worked as a supervisor for the Children’s Mobile Response & Stabilization Unit at UMDNJ in Essex County, and served as the Program Head Clinician at Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey in their Full-Day and Half Day Partial Hospital Programs. I have a passion for providing therapeutic services for children and adolescents and their families who are in need of effective solutions to mental health and behavioral challenges. My experience, combined with my passion for helping children and their families, allows me to serve my clients successfully.

My practice is based on the understanding that the degree of enjoyment and happiness in each of our lives are closely tied to the quality of our relationship with our self and our relationships with others. If you are experiencing a lack of inner peace, of enjoyment and happiness in your life and relationship (s), or if this has been a pattern in your past relationships that you desire to resolve, I encourage you to contact me. I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience, that has ranged from helping persons living in the inner-city of Chicago as they learned to recover from an addiction and abuse/ trauma- related experiences, to helping families displaced from Hurricane Katrina, as well as working with men and their families, teaching and coaching the development of improved self-image, interpersonal, and fathering skills to heal and re- build their relationships affected by sexual, emotional, physical abuse, and neglect in their family histories. Of course, over the years I have had many persons with less severe issues and focus on here-and-now concerns that are affecting their quality of life. Whether you choose short-term or longer-term counseling I have expertise in multiple therapy modalities but always view each person with a multi-cultural lens so I may understand each person in the contexts of which they experience their own unique life. I offer you a warm, non- judgmental, honest atmosphere that invites you to explore your relationship strengths and build new skills that can enhance your current, as well as future relationships where you can experience the joy, warmth, and happiness you seek and deserve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Arizona with 7 years of therapy experience in helping individuals, couples and families find solutions. I have worked with a variety of challenges ranging from depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, grief, chronic pain and relationship/family issues. Together we will identify what you see as the problem that brought you to therapy and collaborate on the goals that will bring the changes you seek. I believe that therapy can be a safe place for clients to express their vulnerabilities, desires and creativity. My approach is non-judgmental and based on the client as the expert. Together we can learn the importance of healthy boundaries, self-awareness and mindfulness. It takes a great deal of courage to recognize the necessity to make changes and to then take steps toward making those changes. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey.

SCHEDULING: Try to schedule in my open slots but I try to schedule people based on your best times and dates, so when we are matching we will find your best time. I am not available before 10 am or after 6 pm but I am available on some Saturdays. My name is Lynet Uttal, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. When working together, my hope is that you will become more comfortable with yourself. Maybe you want to talk about a problem you are having right now (like a relationship that is making you feel bad) or you want to talk about something from your past that keeps hurting you. We can also work on a decision you have to make or motivation to get moving on a project (like writing a book or losing weight/practicing a healthier lifestyle). Some people are looking for purpose or meaning in life--we can also work on that. As a social worker, I also pay attention to the conditions of your life: Do you have enough money? Do you like where you live? Are you in the right job? In the right relationship? Do you need to change your career? Move to a different part of the country? Do you want help identifying and applying for support services? Are you struggling with cultural differences with the people in your life? Are you caring for an aging parent? In addition to teaching you some techniques (like how to manage anxiety or depression), I will also work with you to understand the cause of the discomfort and ways to understand it. My style of doing therapy is to carefully listen to you and to ask questions so that both you and I can develop a deep understanding of what is bothering you and how you want to improve/change your life. If you want, I can also provide some coaching for how you might change the way you do things or interact with people so that you are more comfortable with yourself and your lifestyle. We will do a lot of talking and find answers that work for you. I have experience helping people with changing jobs, getting fired, deciding to leave relationships, how to start relationships in a healthy way, parent-adult children relationships, learning how to present yourself calmly even when inside you feel like a tornado. I also like to facilitate thinking about regrets to turn them into stories you can live with instead of continue to be tortured by the ones you have. I have experience working with people with many different types of concerns and levels of experience with therapy. I enjoy helping people figure out what is going on in their lives and finding more peace with themselves. My work with each person is different because I tailor how we work to who you are and what you are grappling with. I do interpreter-mediated therapy which means we use an interpreter because I speak English and the client doesn't. I have worked with Latine people, Muslims, people from India, Hmong, and lots of people who are parents but they are US born children of immigrants.. I am myself the daughter of a Japanese immigrant and I am really interested in the conflicts that happen beecause people live between two cultures. I look forward to working with you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of professional experience and more than 15 years in the helping field. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, relational, and human. I believe healing happens best in spaces that feel safe, authentic, and collaborative; not stiff or overly clinical. I use evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches. I often use visual tools, metaphors, and real-life examples to help make abstract concepts more understandable and practical. Therapy with me is active and engaged—we don’t just talk about change, we work toward it. My communication style is conversational and supportive, and I value honest dialogue. I aim to meet clients where they are without judgment, while also gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them. I do not believe in minimizing anyone’s pain or comparing suffering—your experience matters exactly as it is. What It’s Like to Work With Me Clients often describe me as: • Warm and approachable • Straightforward but compassionate • Relatable and real • Supportive but not passive • Engaged and collaborative If you’re looking for a therapist who feels human, not robotic—someone who balances professionalism with authenticity—we may be a great fit. That said, if you prefer a very formal, highly structured, or emotionally distant therapy style, I may not be the best match—and that’s okay. Therapy works best when the fit feels right. Who I Help I specialize in working with individuals navigating: • Trauma and complex trauma • Anxiety and depression • Grief and loss • Self-esteem and identity • Relationship challenges • Life transitions • Substance use and recovery • Emotional regulation and stress I also work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and want tools—not just talk. My Philosophy I believe healing is not about perfection—it’s about self-understanding, self-compassion, and growth. I value curiosity over judgment, progress over pressure, and connection over performance. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. You just need a willingness to show up.
