Top in-person Washington children therapists who accept cash payments

I believe clients have a wealth of information and knowhow on how to solve their own problems but have become stuck for one reason or another. I meet the client wherever they find themselves and build from there. The work in sessions is gradual and in step with the client. In every session, beginning in the first session, goals will be set and the client, together with the therapist, will work towards those goals through exercises. Examples used in session are often drawn from client’s personal experiences on overcoming past difficulties and hardships, positively. Mindfulness and meditation will be part of some or all sessions. If the client is willing to work on past traumas, anxieties and phobias, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing or EMDR will be offered. Cognitive Behavior Therapy or CBT and its exercises will be part of all or some sessions.

My name is Shawna Sunday, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with individuals that have experienced trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems. I very much like a positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life, and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self-care. I like a person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge, we go at your speed, and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy. What you can expect from our first session My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. Rapport building initially, and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable.

My name is Oxana. I was never a big fan of small talk culture, so let’s get straight to the point: I am a professional catalyzer. In reality, it is called a licensed professional counselor. What I actually do ruins people’s illusions, and narratives that they have created, which hold them back from living a life they truly want. The challenging part is not ruining people’s illusions and narratives; it’s walking them through the thin ice of the fear that reclaiming the life they want to live is worth going through the letting go of things they used to comfort themselves with. I traveled to 40+ countries and lived in a few, so I believe I carry some cultural awareness, which helps me a lot in my work with multicultural practice as a therapist.
