Find a licensed online therapist in Arlington Heights, WA

Thank you for taking the time out to view my profile. Finding the right therapist to meet your individual needs is a very important step and I am hopeful that I will be able to assist you. I find great passion in assisting my clients in meeting and surpassing their full potential. After I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology, I continued my education and received a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed in multiple states, a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I have experience with working with individuals of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and genders. Although I use multiple counseling techniques (Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, etc) in order to meet my client's individual needs, my work with clients is primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy perspective. I believe that the connections between rationality and emotion as well as mind and body are essential in accomplishing behavioral change through logical thinking. Becoming more aware of damaging automatic thoughts and acquiring the ability to revise cognitions impacts one’s behaviors and ultimately may lead to positive change. In addition, I hold a great appreciation for the unconscious and the power it has over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The intimate process of making the unconscious conscious is a fundamental step toward growth, development, and change. Being able to recognize how unresolved conflicts from the past influence the present and manifests in unhealthy cyclical patterns gives one the power and confidence to take control.​​ It is my belief that therapy is an intense, engaging, rewarding, and collaborative process. One of the main purposes of therapy is for one to gain a deeper understanding of self by exploring personal experiences, perspectives, and expectations. Regardless of the presenting issue, I provide my clients with a high level of respect, honesty, and genuineness. After successful completion of therapy, it is my hope that my clients will be able to incorporate what will be presented throughout therapy sessions into multiple life circumstances.

I'm a licensed therapist in Washington state with more than 30 years of professional experience. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating complex life transitions. I offer a client centered, compassionate and affirming therapeutic approach across diverse backgrounds. My approach can be described as psychodynamic, as contrasted to CBT or DBT, noting the latter is very trendy now. You can look up all that stuff on Google but if we work together, we'll be exploring the here and now, including with what's happening under the hood. Along those lines, we'll be exploring your attitudes, feelings, fears, desires, memories and defenses, some of which may have worked when you were very young but are no longer working for you now. I have extensive experience in relationship and intimacy issues, navigating grief and loss, life transitions, focus and memory issues, ethnic minority issues, sexual preference/gender identity (GLBTQ+) and the existential storms accruing to the moment. My objective is to offer a safe space where clients can GROW while exploring their AUTHENTIC selves . That means working through stuck places, conflicts and challenging emotions. It's a process, however, not a head trip or a destination point. You're not a widget. You're not a product. You're not a version. Therapy with me isn't like going to a Chinese restaurant where clients are encouraged to order-up the best version of themselves from a menu. My approach, in contrast, will encourage you to identify the unfinished business from the past that is seeking closure in the present, while acknowledging all the various versions of yourself. That doesn't mean you have to like them all but trying to corral/control them through an act of ego and volition is, IMO, neither an optimal nor a sustainable solution. Finally, I'm not the kind of therapist who I will send you a ton of exercises/worksheets from the platform. From time to time, however, I will send you some well-curated links from outside the platform, including links from experts in their field. In conclusion, I was going to copy some lines from a poem by Rilke. Instead, a client sent me a much more contemporary poem that, in one line, says much the same thing. -See Paris First Suppose that what you fear could be trapped, and held in Paris. Then you would have the courage to go everywhere in the world. All the directions of the compass open to you, except the degrees east or west of true north that lead to Paris. Still, you wouldn't dare put your toes smack dab on the city limit line. You're not really willing to stand on a mountainside miles away and watch the Paris lights come up at night. Just to be on the safe side you decide to stay completely out of France. But then danger seems too close even to those boundaries, and you feel the timid part of you covering the whole globe again. You need the kind of friend who learns your secret and says, "See Paris first." M. Truman Cooper
