Sno-King Counseling, LLC
Norman Nelson, MC, LMHC, SOTP (425) 744-0300
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
4630 200th St SW, Suite K, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Niche Specialty©: Sexuality or Sexual Intimacy Issues (also Sexual Abuse or Sex Addiction). Sexual addiction counseling for pornography, cybersex, infidelity, excessively high or low sex drive, use of prostitutes and strip clubs, unwanted desires to cross-dress, voyeurism, exposure, or any other fetishes and behaviors that are having a negative affect on your personal and professional life and financial resources.
Location: Bentley Office Park, next door to Lynnwood Transit Center
General Practice Area: My clients are men, women, and adolescents who have been engaging in unwanted sexual behavior that is out of control and destructive to self and the intimacy of the marriage. This type of sexual behavior is victimizing. Generally, the issue is pornography or cybersex, but there are a host of sexual behaviors and preferences that ultimately damage self-worth, the marriage, family and career. Internet pornography is highly addictive for men, and can lead to sexual deviancy. For women, the internet provides easy access to cybersex to satisfy unfulfilled intimacy needs. Regardless, these sexual outlets are highly addictive and can rapidly become a serious issue requiring professional help. Without assistance, these behaviors can destroy marriages, and can lead to risky unsafe, illegal behaviors.
Many of my clients are already involved in the legal system. I am licensed to perform state-certified mental health evaluations, sexual deviancy assessments, and sex offender treatment. I strive to provide an environment that is non-judgmental, safe and confidential to explore these very personal issues. My private practice utilizes accepted evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in individual counseling or group therapy. Since healthy sexuality is relational, I encourage spouses/partners to become an integral part of the therapeutic process. It is my belief that the best intervention for destructive sexual behavior is to restore healthy intimacy with partners

Jennifer Gleeson M.Sc. (425) 744-0300
Agency Affiliated Counselor
4630 200th St SW, Suite K, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Niche Specialty©: Women's Issues. From teenage girls to grandmothers--in changing roles as mother, daughter, friend, partner, colleague, caregiver--providing safe, collaborative environment in which to explore the specific issues and demands that we face as women.
General Practice Area: I am a mental health therapist who works with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. With warmth and a sense of humor, I hope to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for clients to discuss the issues they are facing, whether crisis-based or more general in nature. As a former public school teacher with a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have over 15 years experience helping adolescents and families to think about their particular experience and journey. We are all unique, and as such, my therapeutic style is not 'one size fits all'...drawing from a variety of therapeutic schools of thought, and using an open and supportive personal style, I work with clients and families to guide them in a blend of both practical ideas geared toward immediate change and more long-term emotional exploration. Because a positive therapy experience is dependent on a positive therapeutic relationship, I provide a free initial consultation session to see if we 'click'.
My areas of specialty include underachieving and troubled adolescents, women's transitional life & family issues, which may include marriage, infertility, divorce, stepfamilies, 'empty nest', or career change, depression and anxiety, parenting challenges (new babies, teenagers and sibling concerns), grief and loss, relationship concerns, eating disorders, and domestic violence.

Shari French, MS, LMFT (206) 669-9538
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
20016 Cedar Valley Road, Suite 105, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Location: Located one block south of the Lynnwood Transit Center and one block east of Scriber Lake. Across the street from Scriber Creek Park.
General Practice Area: I provide therapy for individuals, family and married couples. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 13 years experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds and needs. Areas of clinical focus for me are criminal justice and mental health (adolescent and adult), sexuality education and diversity in families and individuals, and working with at-risk or just plain tough teenagers. I also conduct court ordered mental health evaluations for criminal courts in King and Snohomish Counties.
I believe that our families have a strong influence on our thoughts and behaviors and I often work from a family/systemic perspective. I believe that the process happening in the therapy room sometimes mimics the processes happening for you outside the therapy room. This can provide us with opportunities for corrective experiences.
Currently I do not file/accept insurance. However, I am happy to provide you with a receipt of your payment so that your insurance company may reimburse you directly. Additionally, I am now accepting credit cards.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Kathy Connelly, MSW, LICSW (206) 909-4503
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
20006 Cedar Valley Rd., Suite 204, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Niche Specialty©: Adolescents and teenagers. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults in particular. Why this specific focus? We seem to be living in an age of an ever expanding length of time for the period of “adolescence”. Kids are reaching puberty and entering adolescence earlier than ever and they seem to be staying there, sometimes stuck there, longer. They live in a world rich with media information, electronic devices and they are exposed to adult material and adult issues at earlier and earlier ages. They need an increasing amount of schooling and preparation for adult life and entry level adult jobs are scarce and often low paying, with the result that they remain dependent on family longer. It is an extremely difficult time with many challenges for them and for their families.
Location: Near Alderwood Mall
General Practice Area: I offer individual counseling for adolescents and adults and family therapy for families of all configurations. My therapeutic approach is to assist individuals and families in determining their own needs and to support them in their process of change, growth and acceptance. I use various approaches and skills such as cognitive behavioral therapy, crisis intervention, family of origin work, and insight oriented therapy. I have a great deal of experience working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, confusion, feelings of anger, loss, guilt or lack of control. I work well with people who are going through the transitions and changes that most of us face at one time or another.

David Dickman MSW LICSW (253) 508-0108
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
19520 - 66th Ave. W, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Location: Just off of West-Bound 196th Street, just past Hwy. 99.
General Practice Area: Since my entry into the mental health field in 1973, I have specialized in a number of different areas. The first 11 years were spent in the addictions field, working with alcohol and chemical addicts, as well as "process addictions" such as gambling, sex, work, food and other addictive processes. For alcohol and drug addicted individuals, I will only work with them if they have been clean and sober for a minimum of 6 months.
I have also specialized in work with depression, anxiety and stress related disorders (panic, phobias, stress), trauma (either recent of historical, PTSD), and grief and bereavement.
I only work with individuals over the age of 21 and consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the stressors that are affecting their life, and to learn of strategies that will help alleviate those stressors. Since this partnership is based upon trust and mutual respect, it is important for the client to meet a professional who best meets those needs.
I use a variety of counseling techniques and modalities developed from my long career as a clinical social worker. I apply those techniques that best "fit" the individual, and only with the full cooperative of the client, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR for trauma.
The counseling relationship is only the beginning - the real work begins when the client leaves my office and applies the knowledge, understanding and "tools" to real life. [ Email David Dickman ]

Niche Specialty©: Eating Disorders. Eating disorders occur among all age groups, including children, and most commonly develop during adolescents. I provide individual and family counseling, and consultation to parents and/or a spouse. It is normal for family members to feel powerless and frustrated. Many of my clients are referred by Children's Hospital. I team closely with their medical staff, including dietitians. If detected early, an eating disorder is often quickly resolved. Once in the moderate to severe stages, I require that my clients see a physician, and usually, and a dietitian during at various times during treatent. When helping those with anorexia or bulimia, I focus on body image including body dismorphia and emotions related to food and weight, especially anxiety and co-occuring depression. Art is often used during sessions, and I frequently give homework to be completed between sessions. Those with an eating disorder need empathetic support, help with distorted thinking, body image, and anxiety related to food and weight, as well as any other concerns.
Location: Located in Lynnwood just minutes from I-5. One block east of Wights Nursery.
General Practice Area: With 25 + years of experience, I have developed several specialties. I work with children from 3rd grade and on, with adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, couples, and family counseling. I now accept Medicare to expand my work with those dealing with end of life issues. Age, problem areas, and goals, influence my counseling approach. Children and adolescents often have problems at school and at home due to ADD or ADHD, verbal or nonverbal processing challenges, school anxiety, and mood disorders due to divorce or other life changes. I coach parents and team with teachers, medical doctors, and with psychologists who provide in-depth assessment when the source of the problem is unclear. Children and teens are frequently referred by Children's Hospital and other physicians. Adult clients come for help with depression, anxiety, ADD and ADHD, trauma, and recovery from trauma. I also work with internet addictions including internet and gaming addictions. Please see my website for more information about me and my practice.
