Top in-person Washington therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

My passion is working with people. We have all felt sad, lost, or just plain tired. Sometimes, it is hard to know what our next step should be. Maybe you know where you want to be in your life, relationships, or work, but are just not sure how to get there. Let's talk. I offer a safe, and informal therapeutic setting for men, women, and teens to learn about themselves, heal from hurt, and set goals. I spent many years in Denton, working with adolescents and their parents through the school district. Since receiving a master's degree in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman's University in 2014, I have worked with individuals to overcome some of the effects of traumatic, hurtful, or confusing events. Open to working with children/adolescents 6 years and older.

Choosing to seek therapy to work on ourselves can be a scary endeavor, as there are times where it can become uncomfortable to face some of the challenges in our lives in order to feel better. I like to utilize solution focused therapy, mindfulness practices, as well as CBT, DBT, and EMDR as some of the tools to help my patients. I come from a client centered approach, and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment either from the online platform or in person. I invite you to take that next step and start the journey towards healing and learning how to become your best authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQ, anxiety, issues in dealing with lack of self-esteem and self-worth, along with relationship troubles, and learning to adjust to the complex world we are living in. I welcome you to feel empowered to take back control in your life and to have the courage to find what makes you happy and healthy. Open to working with children/adolescents 16 years and older.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning. My experience includes working with life transitions (military and civilian), intimacy barriers, sexuality connections, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ challenges, trauma, race-related trauma, Military Trauma, PTSD, and addiction. My purpose is to help uplift and contribute to the healing of others while affirming individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. As life happens, you do not have to walk your journey on your own. Give yourself grace and take your journey one day at a time.

Welcome! You’re taking a tremendous step by reaching out for therapy. It’s often a very hard step to make. Hoops to jump through, filling out forms, finding time to look at profiles, thinking about who might be able to help, then eventually finding a time that works for you and the therapist. It takes a lot of work. You making it this far in the process is proof that you’re really motivated and ready to feel the way you want to feel. My experience is in addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, grief, and career development. The people who tend to choose to work with me are those experiencing life changes such as career changes, retirement, empty nest, new parent, illness or injury, divorce, and loss. Though general burnout prevention and stress management has become my “specialty”, I prefer looking at the whole picture. You are not equal to the things that are weighing you down, you are not equal to the mistakes you've made, and you are not equal to what you've been through. There is so much more to you and together we will focus on all of it. We will address overall wellness and patterns of times you’ve felt good and times you’ve felt bad. If you’ve participated in counseling before, you know that every counselor is different and every experience is different. It’s important that we’re on the same page about the process, which is something we’ll talk about the first time we meet. I’m here to listen to you and offer suggestions, but there’s no magic solution. And things aren’t always easy or fun. This is your journey with bumps and wrong turns and sometimes surprises that are better than you imagined. But it’s your journey and I am only here to keep you company and help you find your way. Regardless of how long the journey lasts or what the path is like, I look forward to joining it with you.

My name is Eguenel Louis, I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor. I am licensed in FL, GA, MA, AR, and WA. I specialized in Mental Health Issues, Addiction and Faith-based counseling. I strive to empower my clients to identify areas in their lives they want to change and to help them get "unstuck" from negative core beliefs, patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving them. My approach with clients is solution focused and goal oriented; I utilize an eclectic method to psychotherapy which incorporates cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, warm personal and unconditional positive regard interventions. I wake up every morning looking forward to sharing a message of hope by helping my clients address their co-occurring disorders to reach long term sobriety and serenity by developing healthy coping skills.

I am a thoughtful counselor with best practices at the heart of all my patient encounters. I have over a decade of experience working with groups and individuals who present with a variety of issues, including trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I graduated from Pacific University with a Master of Arts in counseling psychology as well as from The University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. I utilize evidence base practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Informed Therapies. I use mindfulness techniques as a supplemental practice for interested patients as well. I am an easy listener who is interested in getting to know each patient and learn what their personal goals are and how I might help them. My therapeutic approach is human centered and unconditionally positive. My primary clinical background is in working with people with substance use issues. Can work around harm reduction and abstinence-based goals. Not currently accepting new adolescent clients.

I have over 25 years working with people facing a variety of life's challenges. I believe that all people have the power to change and this change comes from within as well as their connection to the community they are a part of. I see my work with individuals as a partnership where together we will develop a strategy for addressing the concerns that brought you to Spring Health. The core of my therapeutic techniques utilize Rogerian Therapy mixed with Minuchin systems theory.

In therapy I connect with you in a deep way to empower you in your struggles. Most of us hope to connect with others in an intimate way and to have an impact on the world. I believe we internalize ways of relating in childhood and this informs the ways in which we relate with others in the present. The therapeutic relationship can be a safe place to see more clearly who we are in order that we might be freed to make different and conscious choices. This awareness can help you to know yourself more, to live an intentional life and have meaningful impact on the world. I work empathically, psychotherapeutically, mindfully, and relationally and am interested in getting to know you subjectively. I seek to offer a non-judgmental space so that you feel comfortable sharing and getting to know yourself in a new way within our therapeutic relationship. I currently only offer telehealth. Please feel free to email, call or text to schedule or if you have any questions about the therapeutic process. I also offer a free 30 minute consultation in order to see if we might be a good fit. I take insurance and can also offer superbills for reimbursement. I look forward to meeting you.

For more than a decade, I have served as a mental health professional, working with individuals of all ages. I have a passion to serve individuals battling mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. I also specialize in providing support and education for women with polycystic ovary syndrome—who are often misdiagnosed, overlooked, and misunderstood. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are and assist you in learning emotional tools to increase self-care and positive self-talk, and decrease stress, anxiety, low motivation, sadness, and hopelessness. We will partner together to improve your mood and overall sense of wellness. Using evidence-based therapies, I will empower you to disrupt negative thoughts and behaviors, as well as identify your strengths and abilities to achieve your goals. As my client, you will be seen and understood because you and your feelings are valid. So, let’s get started in this meaningful work of building a life you deserve.

I tailor my particular focus to the needs of the client(s). I believe that every individual possesses the strength and potential to work through life problems and that most issues are developmentally based.
