Relationship Counseling is my Specialty! As a seasoned Couple’s Counselor I can help you no matter what stage or phase you are in with your partner. I offer everything from pre-marital counseling, sex therapy, love enrichment, conscious uncoupling and post-divorce care.It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, depressed or anxious with your relationship. However, bad habits, poor communication, negative thinking and self-defeating patterns can be changed.
I can help you learn to manage and cope with difficult emotions like fear, anger, lack of trust, frustration, sadness and worry. I can give you tools to improve communication, delegate roles and responsibilities, heal the pain of infidelity, fight fair, budget better and manage family and career stress.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a clinician licensed in the state of Washington as well as an art therapist and drama therapist. I work from creative therapies, strength based and narrative approaches.
Creative therapies employ artistic methods to process your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as a way to manage needs and practice problem solving.
Strength based approaches identify the skills within yourself that are working for you, and use those skills in areas of growth.
From a narrative perspective, we work together to find the story of your life, and identify how you want to change your story into the life you want to lead.
During the course of treatment, I may also use a variety of therapeutic modalities such as cognitive and trauma focused behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches.
lerin herzer
My name is Lerin Herzer, and I am a mental health practitioner specializing in trauma
and abuse. I have an extensive background in music, education, and psychology, and am delighted to have continual opportunities to weave these disciplines together. I grew up writing music and have always loved finding words that can anchor others to an image, making the more abstract and nebulous nature of emotions feel more concrete and describable.
Having obtained my specialization in trauma and abuse while navigating the pandemic, I am deeply prepared to work through the complex and compound trauma that individuals experienced in the last few years. Working from an attachment and interpersonal
neurobiological approach, I engage with clients relationally, and work to invite them into exploring their own patterns of relating and behaving. Our trauma deeply impacts our ability to connect with and relate to ourselves and others, thus impacting our ability to handle life's
stress and many challenges. I hope to create a structure of hope and stability for each client I work with.
I aim to come alongside my clients in the exploration of their story with curiosity,
intention, and care, helping them build a structure of hope that can anchor them through the journey of therapeutic work.
Our time will include seeking to understand past and present patterns of behavior in order to develop a healthy, stable, and well-formed sense of self.
I believe each person’s voice and experience matters and that it would be an honor to engage in storied work. I honor the immense task it is to do therapeutic work and vow to support each
client fully in the process.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and incorporates the client’s needs and interests. I find great value in the therapeutic relationship and therefore aim to provide a safe and comfortable space for individuals to be authentic in sharing their story and working through issues.
I operate from a person-centered perspective and strongly believe that people know their truth and their story/needs, and sometimes need someone to help guide them and provide balance in their lives. I see value in connection and vulnerability and find that helping individuals from a strengths-based approach allows room for healing. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I integrate mindfulness-based practices, ACT, DBT, and CBT.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been practicing for ten years and I specialize in couples counseling. Couples therapy can involve pre-marital counseling, unblocking patterns of behavior that have become damaging to the relationship, surviving an affair, developing better communication patterns, or even moving towards amicable separation.
In addition, I have specific training and experience working with a broad spectrum of clients who have depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance issues and sexual identity issues. Many of the clients I see with PTSD are vets and I really enjoy working with them.
Prior to working as a therapist, I worked in HR for ten years. I enjoyed that vocation very much as well and because of that work, I am also able to help people with career transitions and various things people deal with in their daily working lives.
If you are interested, call me and let’s talk about how I could be of service. I would very much like to hear what’s going on for you and let you know I might help.

I work with clients around a wide variety of challenges, but specialize in working
with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body
image, yo-yo dieting, eating disorders, and substance abuse. As women, we receive
a wide variety of shame inducing messages about who we are vs. who we should be in the world. Understanding the experiences that have shaped who you are
today, is an important step into interacting with yourself in a healthy and kinder
way. This leads to a better relationship with food, our bodies, substances, and those
around us.
I apply a combination of different therapeutic approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness skill building. I’m a certified Intuitive Eating counselor
who operates from a Health At Every Size framework. My goal as a therapist is to
help my clients accomplish their goals and step into living their best life and
embracing their full potential.

Making changes can be one of the most difficult things in our lives, and it is one of my passions to support people going through uncomfortable transitions or who are struggling with making difficult choices. My hope is to facilitate the process of change while minimizing the impact on one’s emotional world through tailored
interventions that most often include client centered therapy, solutions
focused therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness based practices. Depending on the client and their support system, this can be done by working in sessions individually, within a couplehood or polyhood, within a friendship, or within the family.
I identify as a Feminist LGBTQ+ Counselor and artist. My passion is in working with folks from a feminist perspective to address systemic and cultural oppression and empower people to live their best life.

I am a compassionate person that truly believes that each person in this world deserves authentic happiness and inner peace. My therapeutic orientation would be best described as a holistic and relational approach to counseling. I view therapy as a process that enables a person to discover self-awareness, to harness self-expression, and explore the capacity to have and hold stronger feelings.
I recognize that everyone has different styles and needs, so I tailor my therapeutic plan to align with what works best for my clients. I incorporate a blend of therapeutic modalities which may include: Client-Centered; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Behavior modification; Trauma Informed approach; Solution-Focused; Relational Therapy; Mindfulness; and Psychodynamic/Psychotherapy.
We all have our own journey of growth, and I feel like I have a unique opportunity to create a safe space to support others in healing from experiences that have challenged their sense of self.

I am a strengths-based therapist who values meeting my clients where they are at with their life challenges. I believe that every person has their innate strengths. These strengths are their tools to get through difficult life circumstances. My work is to help my clients create awareness of these strengths and guide them in using these as tools to improve their quality of life.
I have worked with children and families in a variety of settings since 2010. I also have worked with families in diverse cultural backgrounds such as military families, minority groups, immigrants and refugees. Most of my work focuses on helping clients find their strengths and use them to manage life stressors, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, trauma, and acculturation.
I use strengths-based strategies, mindfulness-based, CBT, gestalt approach (here and now), psychotherapy, client-centered, and emotion-focused approach with clients. This combination of approach allows me to help clients develop healthy coping skills, self-discovery, awakening, and appreciate the gift of the present moment.

I work with individuals from the age of 18 and up struggling with issues of self-worth, trauma, grief, interpersonal conflict, and those who feel ‘stuck’ in life.
I believe therapeutic change happens through building a relationship with my clients that is based on trust and acceptance. I am person-centered and strength-based, and adjust my treatment methods to fit my client’s needs. My goal is to provide a safe place for my clients to experience being, and be accepted as they are. I strive to assist clients in examining their learned negative beliefs about themselves and the world, and begin to build and install healthier ones. Sometimes we lose hope for our lives, and need help navigating our way back to that candle in the dark. My focus is to work with my clients on their goals, to stand alongside them during the pains of personal growth, and support them in becoming a healthier and whole human being.
Making that first call to a counselor who you don't yet know can be a big hill to climb over. I want to offer a safe space in which I provide acceptance, genuine interest in you as a person, and humor when called for. I look forward to meeting with you!

To know and to be known authentically is a human desire. But there are times that we are misunderstood, not cared for properly, and plain old hurt in the process of vulnerability. My work as therapist is offering a genuine presence for clients that enables them to see, feel, and address how to heal towards their true self in the midst of a world in constant flux.
I believe in creating a safe space to process the internal thoughts, doubts, and emotions. Our work together will uncover what the causes are of your feelings and how to heal towards wholeness. My
therapeutic orientation uses a relationally based approach with focus on healing through story. My experience counseling adolescence and adults incorporates exploring relationships through lenses of
attachment, shame, divorce, anxiety, grief, sexuality, body image, and trauma.
The first steps towards healing can be intimidating and the healing
work is incredibly vulnerable. It is my desire to walk alongside you and
meet you with acceptance, empathy, and care.
