Jay French Psychotherapy
Jay French,  MA, LMHC  (206) 438-4673
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
2000 Fairview Ave. E., Suite #102, Seattle, WA 98102
Niche Specialty©: Men's Issues. I enjoy working with both men and women to identify and change the ways that gender roles and expectations have interfered with a fuller relationship with the self.
Location: Between South Lake Union and I-5
General Practice Area: I work with individuals and couples to understand and change unhealthy patterns. These unhealthy patterns can appear as unhelpful habits of thought, unmanageable emotions, stuck relationships, or destructive behaviors. Effective psychotherapy can bring these often unconscious processes to light, and can help restore the natural healing capacities of the mind/body. In my view, the mind/body has a natural propensity towards health, but can develop unhealthy patterns as a result of trauma. Some trauma is very obvious and known, such as the trauma of warfare or childhood sexual trauma, other trauma can be subtle and unacknowleged. When trauma goes untreated, the mind/body can develop unhealthy patterns that start as ways of managing the trauma, but which can persist long after the source of the trauma is gone. I work to uncover these patterns and, through techniques of mindful awareness and self-compassion, to relieve the unconscious parts of the mind from the necessity of maintaining them. I believe most of us want to get well, and I enjoy working with people to help them achieve their full capacities. [ Email Jay French ] [ Go to counselor - therapist website ]

John Skandalis  MA, LMHC  (206) 522-6992
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
1800 Westlake Ave N, Suite #206, Seattle, WA 98109
Niche Specialty©: Relationship Problems. I help men and women create relationships that are healthy, honest and real.
Location: I am located on the West side of Lake Union north of downtown Seattle
General Practice Area: Are things distant or conflicted in your home life? I specialize in helping couples move beyond the conflict and find a more loving and passionate relationship. I am here to help you develop the skills to clearly communicate and rekindle the loving relationship you both hold in your hearts. Together we will focus on what is not working (and what is working) and create new approaches so that when conflict happens you both have the tools to move forward. I also specialize in helping Men with intimacy and commitment issues. Often it works best for men to work with another man on these issues that are difficult to address. My style of working with you is warm and caring with a dose of humor. I work with Women: If you keep finding yourself in relationships with emotionally unavailable men I can help you understand the model of relationship your family of origin gave you and how to change it. I can help you discover what makes up a healthy relationship and how emotional needs can be realistically met. As you grow into the person you were meant to be you will find yourself attracting more healthy men with more to offer into your life. I bring not only my nearly twenty years of therapy work but also my life experience as a father and husband of twenty-one years to our work together.

Babs Glover  MA LMHC  (206) 366-9277
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
1818 Westlake Ave N, Suite #118, Seattle, WA 98109
Niche Specialty©: Trauma --emotional or physical
Location: My office is on the water midway up the length of Lake Union, on the west side of the lake.
General Practice Area: It's more important than ever nowadays to deal with the personal issues that are getting in our way. Struggles such as anxiety, depression, emptiness, failing relationships, financial mismanagement, or "midlife crisis" are designed to capture our attention and direct us to the underlying issues which might otherwise be easy to ignore or put off. My focus is on helping you crack the code to your struggles, address the material that underlies them, and free yourself from what is interfering with a fuller, more effective life. My approach is especially helpful if you've noticed that similar difficulties keep recycling in your life, or that your way of going at life doesn't work anymore. You may have spent a good deal of energy doing what you know to cope or get by, and find yourself feeling ever more frustrated, discouraged, and stuck when nothing changes. Maybe you've even addressed some struggles in therapy before but still feel that something has gone unaddressed, or that a deeper encounter is calling. I work with the full spectrum of difficulties that people encounter in life. I have extensive graduate and post-graduate training in psychodynamic and depth psychotherapies and group psychotherapy. My strengths are my heart, humor, intuition, incisiveness, and integrity. We all need satisfying relationships, meaningful lives, and fulfilling work. What is interfering with your having these? What needs your attention? Let's dig in and figure it out together. [ Email Babs Glover ]
