Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Location: Ravenna neighborhood above Tree of Life Bookstore.
General Practice Area: Help and support for problems with partners and family members. Learn to make use of conflicting emotions to create more satisfying relationships. Working with people who suffer from self-defeating patterns developed in response to wounding relationships and learned self-cruelty. Whether we use talk, movement or art, my role is to create a safe space for you to explore and express your feelings. Anything of concern to you is appropriate for exploration. Although I may offer suggestions and give feedback, I believe ultimately that you are the expert about your life. Together we can heal and awaken the process for transformation, self-acceptance and create more possibilities for joy. Whether you choose to work individually, as a couple, or as part of an ongoing therapy group, I believe that you can get to be as powerful as you want to be. I have a special interest in working with twins, parents of gay sons or lesbian daughters, women or men in mid-life transitions and artists who feel they have lost touch with their own creativity. Your happiness matters. [ Email Lisa Whitsitt ]

I believe growth and change take place through the creation of a safe, compassionate, respectful relationship invested with
both of our commitment to the work. Together we will help you (or you and your child) heal and grow. Areas we might explore
include regulating emotions; coping with stress, anxiety, and depression; building and strengthening relationships with both
self and others; grieving losses; identifying, strengthening, and developing new resources; and choosing effective actions.
Our collaboration will work toward shaping a more full and meaningful life with a greater ability to tolerate and enjoy all
that life has to offer. Individual adult clients may choose talk therapy and/or art therapy, and sandtray. I offer play
therapy sessions for children, and meet regularly with parents to work toward returning their child to a normal path of
development and renewing parent/child relationships.

Ginny Mines, MA, CC (206) 953-2200
Certified Counselor
2113 NE 65th Street, Seattle, WA 98115-6935
Location: Ravenna neighborhood
General Practice Area: I work with individuals, couples, families and offer counseling and guidance in adjusting to life situations, developing new skills, making desired changes, increasing sensitivity and awareness of self and others, and for the development of our human potential. I believe that good counseling respects the fundamental human values of self-expression, self-possession, dignity, and integrity. Each person is unique and there is no "one-size-fits-all" in counseling.
My approach is largely person-centered and strengths-based, and may also be insight-oriented and include skills for managing/ transforming inner and outer conflict. I enjoy helping people become more aware of their individual potential and personal power. Some goals of counseling may include specific behavioral changes, symptom relief, personal growth, and/or the enhancement of well-being.
My personal experience and professional study have had a strong focus in depth psychology, and the work I do draws from the theories of C.G. Jung along with others in the field of depth psychology. My work is also informed by developmental psychology, humanistic psychology, family systems theory, and Buddhism/mindfulness, with a strong emphasis on compassion and understanding.
