Gina Handley MA CMHS LMHC (425) 687-9600
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
119 Pelly Ave N, Renton, WA 98057
Niche Specialty©: Christian Counselors. I believe in treating the whole person not only spirtual issues but also physical, emotional, relational, etc...
Location: Office is located near downtown Renton, 3 blocks from 405.
General Practice Area: I work with clients dealing with a variety of clinical issues, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, premarital and marital distress, adolescent adjustment, and other general issues related to the struggles of daily living. I believe in a client centered approach to counseling, where the therapist and client work together as “partners” to address client issues. I have an eclectic bag of “tools” that I utilize in client sessions, most grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory. My main goal in any clinical relationship is to help my clients cope with current distress, identify faulty thinking and unhealthy patterns of behavior, learn and assimilate new coping skills, and ultimately achieve desired change. Additionally, I attempt to treat the “whole” person in the counseling session, focusing attention on physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual issues. If you are seeking help for the journey, please visit our website for further information. And, please note that our office is able to bill most insurance companies for services rendered.
