I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

You're ready to actually do something different. You've probably tried therapy before. Maybe it helped for a bit, but something was missing. Or maybe you spent months talking in circles without any real change. I work differently. I'm direct, a little weird, and allergic to therapy BS. If you want someone to just validate you endlessly without challenge, I'm not your person. But if you're ready to take an honest look at yourself, try new perspectives, and actually make moves? We'll work well together. I'm especially good with people who: - Know they want something different but keep getting stuck on "what now?" - Feel like they're constantly choosing between being authentic and connecting with others - Are tired of surface-level conversations and want to dig into real solutions - Have a low tolerance for fluff and want therapy that actually goes somewhere - Are action-oriented and willing to experiment What you should know: I've spent 15+ years working with everything from addiction to severe mental health crises to everyday relationship and life challenges. I bring addictions counseling training (LAC) along with my clinical license, which means I understand how people actually change - not just in theory. My approach: We figure out what's actually blocking you, we try things, we adjust based on what works. I'm going to ask you to look at hard truths sometimes. I'm also going to help you see your own strengths and possibilities you might not have considered. Practical details: - Available Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-4pm Mountain Time - I respond to messages outside these hours as I'm able - Licensed in Washington, Montana, and Maine If you're ready to move forward instead of just talking about moving forward, let's work together.

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

My name is Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter and I have been a licensed mental health therapist in Washington State since 2001. I have 13 years experience working in fully integrated mental health and substance abuse programs. I am not credentialed in substance use. During the course of my career I have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric, and a tribal clinic. I have provided individual, couples, and group counseling to primarily an adult population. The methods I use come from several different therapeutic models. Some of the specific techniques used are derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I consider myself eclectic in nature and strive to meet the individual needs of people served. I have specialized training in grief and loss, trauma/sexual abuse, and co-occurring disorders. It is my belief that we are all capable of healing and reaching a healthy balance in our lives. There is no greater privilege than to take this healing journey with someone and to see how much they can truly achieve. I am very blessed.

As a therapist, my approach is contemporary and uniquely tailored to each client. Everyone has the answers within themselves and sometimes needs the proper guidance to trust their intuition and develop essential skills for life's complexities. My style is direct yet comforting and solution-focused, ideal for busy individuals who use therapy as a pitstop to reflect and reset. I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate relationship concerns and substance and behavioral addictions, as well as assisting people to become the best versions of themselves. I emphasize accountability, providing assignments to help adopt healthy habits for lifelong change. I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of relationships using methods like the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy. I welcome all types of relationships, including kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics. My approach focuses on helping couples create stronger connections by encouraging self-reflection and personal growth. Additionally, I support clients navigating the dating scene and those working through challenges such as infidelity, aiming to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in working with clients who possess a foundational level of self-healing and are seeking to navigate challenging situations with resilience. I do not work with individuals in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms, as my therapeutic approach is best suited for those prepared to engage in solution-focused strategies for personal growth. I exclusively offer live chat sessions as my chosen modality. This approach minimizes barriers to care, providing a comfortable and accessible platform for clients. Many individuals find they can express themselves more effectively in writing and better retain new mental health interventions when they read them. Are you ready to reach a new level of optimal wellness, break down mental blocks, and face challenges head-on with self-compassion and empowerment? Let's work together and make it happen!

Hi! I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, Louisiana, South Carolina, Idaho, Vermont, South Carolina, Delaware, and Florida with over 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and depression, set healthy boundaries and limits to experience more fulfilling relationships, and cope with trauma and loss. I'm here to be a guide and support in your journey. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths, qualities, and attributes that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I'm proud of you for taking the first step to make changes to becoming the best version of yourself.

As a licensed therapist in Washington with over three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating complex life transitions. I offer a client centered, compassionate and affirming approach across diverse backgrounds. I’m psychodynamically-oriented, rather than cognitive behaviorally oriented. If you aren't familiar with these terms, please Google them. If you work with me, we'll be exploring what's happening under the hood, meaning we'll be talking about feelings and defenses you may not be fully conscious of, along with the unfinished business from your past and how it affects your life in the present. I have extensive expertise in addressing the effects of isolation, helping clients with relationship and intimacy issues, navigating the grief process, midlife transitions, focus and memory issues, ethnic minority issues, sexual/gender issues (GLBTQ+) and the perfect storms/existential crises accruing to our moment. My approach to therapy is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their authentic selves as they work through conflicts and challenging emotions. Along the way, we'll be identifying strategies through which, hopefully, you will feel more centered and more whole. It's a process, however, not a destination point. You're not a widget. You're not a product. You're not a version. Therapy with me not like going to a Chinese restaurant where you can order-up the best version of yourself while rejecting all the other versions through rational thinking, ego and volition. I approach things very differently. My approach is deeply respectful of all the various versions, along with the full-range of a client's experiences, feelings and emotions.

Midwest trained, and licensed in California & Washington, I have spent 50 years in the field of counseling & supervisory education. Now, in retirement, I offer a limited number of consultations. Still, I want to continue supporting people who are actively engaged in improving their relationships & addressing life changes. My style is interactive with a bit of humor; & I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, nor do I encourage diagnostic ones. (I find them misused & often reductionistic, which is not helpful.) It takes courage to seek joy in life and step forward into change. And if you are wanting to do that, I am very glad to facilitate your efforts. PS I do not keep notes; so what is said is completely confidential. My intake sessions (at just 20-30 minutes) are for the purpose of checking mutual chemistry & our ability to work well together. By letting me know immediately if you might prefer a different therapist, I can help make that happen sooner than later; and session success has a lot to do with ease of communication, so do be picky. Again, I have only limited session time-slots. All are midday, on Tuesdays or Thursdays, & you will need to choose the same hour each week, to avoid booking someone else’s session time. Booking your time, 3 sessions forward will prevent that from happening. [PS: Generally, ‘short term' counseling is roughly 12 sessions, affording time to make good insights & progress.] I invite your questions, going forward. And my best wishes on your personal growth path. I look forward to meeting you!

Life events sometimes throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Do you now or often experience anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, or the possibility of ending a relationship? These are stressors that give us feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness, impacting your ability to function in relationships, occupation, social life, and obtaining educational goals. Does it seem as though you've been knocked down once too many times and getting up is a struggle? When in the middle of a struggle, words such as "tomorrow" and "feeling better" seem so far away.

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues. I have a deep understanding of the unique struggles that come with isolation, life transitions, and finding personal purpose. My therapeutic approach centers on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful coping strategies. I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals work through feelings of guilt, shame, and panic, and supporting them as they rediscover their inner strength and resilience. With over a decade of clinical experience, I bring a nuanced, empathetic perspective to our work together. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth. I believe that every individual has the capacity to transform their challenges into opportunities for profound personal development.
