Therapists in Prosser, WA
Prosser, Washington was named after Colonel William Farrand Prosser who first settled in the area in 1882 and two years later the Northern Pacific Railroad laid tracks in the town. Although the majority of the townspeople were drilling for oil and gas, those who lived on the Yakima River chose to grow grapes for wineries.
Sometimes having a glass of wine is fine but some people are unable to stop and just one and can become addicted. These people can be helped by counseling or therapy from a professional. No matter whether you are having a problem with addiction or another mental illness, there are many experts in the Prosser area who can help.

I am a licensed mental health counselor located in Washington with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorder, relationship issues. I have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with PTSD, mostly due to childhood trauma and abuse. As a counselor, I provide a peaceful and compassionate presence, while enthusiastically facilitating the discovery of inner wisdom and strength needed to move forward. My work is grounded in client-centered therapy and keen understanding of human relationships. Relationships connect us to ourselves and others, and the quality of these connections greatly impacts overall sense of well-being and ability to meet life’s challenges gracefully. I believe that we are most likely to consider change in life when we feel understood and supported and my goal is to provide that understanding and support. My own story has taught me the benefits of transparency, vulnerability, and safe place to explore and ask tough questions. I have extensive experience working with individual who, in a desperate attempt to gain control over their life and overwhelming emotions, often resort to behaviors which can actually make things worse. This often takes them even further from their life worth living. In my therapeutic work, I strive to make a therapeutic alliance with clients, and together we develop a treatment plan that meets their needs and where individuals with recovery as their goal make real changes with actual improvement that can be measured and monitored. With open/honest and direct communication, we work to identify and overcome barriers and improve their life one step at a time. I look forward working with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have worked for residential, inpatient and outpatient community mental health agencies since 2001 and have 20+ years of experience in the behavioral and mental health fields. I have been working as an independently licensed practitioner for the last 6 years. I believe that our quality of life is directly related to the quality of our relationships and our ability to maintain those relationships. These relationships include but are not limited to: our relationship with our self and our own inner world; our nuclear and blended family members; our close friends; the people that we work and interact with daily; our relationship with our Creator. The quality of these relationships over a lifetime influences how we cope with stress, frustration, sadness and joy. I use a variety of different therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral, dialectical, solutions focused and family systems to help clients identify problematic patterns of thinking, processing and behavior; to reflect on how their experiences thus far in life have shaped these patterns, and; challenge clients to discuss possible solutions or ways to experience the problem in new and more adaptive ways.

Hi There! My name is Emily and I am excited that you are seeking services. I specialize in supporting folks in processing trauma using EMDR and other methods. I am specifically trained on complex EMDR, and using poetry, art, colors, and sand tray to meet trauma needs that often get missed in other techniques. EMDR is a specific type of therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to help the brain process and integrate traumatic memories. What I mean is we will work together to show your body the scary things in the past are in the past. (If the trauma is on going we can work together on that too with accommodations). The trauma therapy I use is brain based and somatic. I get to follow your brain, your beliefs and your needs. Thanks again for reading through this. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. If you think we could be a good fit I would love to talk with you. Kindly, Emily
