Reed Finlayson
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Idaho and have been proving therapy to adults, families and children for over 48 years. My approach is to listen to the client’s story and help them define what they would like their future story to be. I am interested in not only what is not going well in your life but also what is going well and why you think that is so. I believe in using what works to overcome what does not. Most people have not come this far in life without a good number of skills and abilities that have worked for them. My task is to help you discover what those skills are and then help you use those skills to overcome the challenges you are having. I present ideas and observations and most importantly questions for you to consider. I do not see change happening as a result of what I tell you but rather it comes from what you ultimately tell yourself. I have come to believe that our lack of progress is due to either not knowing what we want or only wanting to do what we know. I encourage questions about the process of our time together and ask for feedback to assess what you feel was helpful and what was not. It is important to me that you feel you are making progress toward what you want to have different in your current situation. We will develop a plan together so that we are both clear about what direction you want to go and what your life will be like when you accomplish your treatment goals.

Greetings! I am a social worker by heart, which means I come bearing a wholistic approach. There are many facets that make each of us individual, which also means struggles can be complex. I am a learner, so I like to hear what has been helpful to you and see if I can meet you in that place and multiply your progress. I believe in the quote from Ross Greene "people do well if they can, and if they aren't, we should figure out why so we can help them." I also subscribe to the notion that our brain is always able to change because of its plasticity, which means we all have hope that we can keep growing! As for my background, I attended Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas for my undergrad in Social Work and Boise State for my Master's of Social Work. I live in North Idaho and love the outdoors and what nature has to offer. I also learned this from scuba diving; sometimes I forget to breathe when I'm nervous and I only learned that because I had a fantastic scuba buddy who was watching me closely and challenged me. We all need a great scuba buddy, I would like to walk alongside you in your learning to breathe again and help you find your ongoing natural scuba buddy outside of the professional environment who can continue to support and dive alongside you in all life's adventures!

Alicia Powell
I have been working in the mental health field since 1995. I obtained my LCSW, in Idaho, in 2004. My LICSW was obtained in 2009 and my LMHC was obtained in 2001. Both of these licensures are in Washington. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, anger management, OCD, Eating Disorder, Trauma, Anxiety and Depression. I also have experience working with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I have completed the Ramsey Finacial Coach master's training and am comfortable discussing financial concerns that may lead to anxiety or stress. I believe it is important for an individual seeking services to be able to participate in creating their treatment plan for therapy in order to assure that their goals are met. It is my opinion that a therapist should be open minded so that individuals are comfortable discussing difficult topics. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you. Thank you, Alicia

As a counselor I believe in another especially when they cannot believe in themselves. Each person is unique with differing situations that life has presented: depression, relationship issues, anxiety, eating too much, eating too little, low self-esteem, forgiveness, spiritual quandries, and no self-identity. It is these things and more that together we explore because they take from us our meaning and purpose in life. I like to explore what gives meaning and balance, and peace to ones life. We will work together to determine what your goals are and determine what we can done to achieve those goals. My goal is to walk with you so that I understand how you make sense out of it . If you are struggling to find your authentic voice , if you are struggling with finding your path in life due to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief or transitions and you are ready to accept responsibility for your life, work with me. My counseling style is warm and interactive. Respect, sensitivity and compassion I am a pastoral psychotherapist and a family and marriage counselor since 1989 .

We explore patterns of thoughts and feelings derived from your family of origin and how these impact your current life relationships. I view my role as collaborative to achieve a greater awareness of you, to develop more effective coping patterns and to reduce undesirable or troubling emotions and interpersonal conflicts

Shontae Cone
I am licensed in Idaho with 4 years of professional work experience and 16 plus years in the field of mental health and disabilities. My expertise lie in a variety of areas: high level coaching, poc/biracial/multiracial issues, new age spirituality, manifesting/energy work, women empowerment, guiding men who are exploring vulnerability/emotions, transpersonal therapy and soul work. I work best with people who have already done some healing and find they need the next level of support. Here are some more specifics on the work we’ll do together. I help highly sensitive people with what I call “empath 101” or the basics to coping and eventually thriving as a sensitive individual. My style is non-traditional, magical, and highly effective. My process involves understanding our mind, body, and soul and getting those systems balanced and working harmoniously together. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. You are powerful, even if you haven’t tapped into it yet. It is hard to take those steps to change your life. You want something more and you’ve decided you’re going to do something about it. The good news is, you just exercised your power. Now let’s hone it, strengthen it, and perfect it. You are capable of anything and I’m here to walk alongside you on your path. I can’t wait.

Karen Murphree
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty-five years of experience assisting adults and couples with challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, self-worth, abuse/trauma, chronic and acute health concerns, grief, loss, end of life issues, and finding connections to spirituality apart from traditional organized religion. I was also a licensed practical nurse years ago and have completed a year of health coaching training. I am passionate about the food/mood connection and its bridge between physical and mental health. I have also taken some graduate level courses in complementary and alternative medicine because I also have a special interest in holistic health and healing. I have a very eclectic approach that draws from multiple modalities. I have a background in traditional psychotherapy, but prefer to come from a "whole person" strength-based approach rather than the traditional "illness-based" approach. I like to use the other senses in addition to "the mind" and might make use of music, art, movement, or even aromatherapy approaches. My approach seeks to offer genuine acceptance of who you are right now, helping you discover who you would like to be, and finding ways with you to make progress toward your goals. Edison said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work." I would appreciate an opportunity to look with you to finding ways that DO work for you. Thank you for looking at my information. If you think we might work well together, please get in touch. If you don't feel a connection to me, there are many other very qualified persons on this site. Don't give up! Keep looking till you find someone that you think you would work well with! Someone is out there in the other profiles that would be a good match for you! I wish you the best, and applaud your courage in being willing to take a look at other options for your life if you are feeling troubled.
