General Practice Area: I work with individuals, both adults and adolescents, as well as couples.

I believe that our relationships are the source of our greatest joys and greatest heartaches. Together we will explore those dynamics.

Melissa West  MA, LMHC, ACC  (206) 427-1325
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
106 NW 104th St., Seattle, WA 98177
Niche Specialty©: Transitions (life changes). I help women in transition move through the grief and turbulence of life transitions to find new life and meaning. Women experience and deal with transitions differently than men, and I have 25 years of experience with this. With professional training in life coaching as well as psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, depth and transpersonal psychology, and body awareness, I have the skills and life experience (personal as well as professional) to support you through your transition in the way that best fits you and your specific needs.
Location: My office is in a beautiful quiet garden setting, one mile west of Northgate Mall in a residential neighborhood.
General Practice Area: I have over 25 years of experience helping women flourish after the heartbreak and upheaval of big transitions. Life transitions can be a times of deep transformation at all levels, so I have additional professional training in life coaching, spiritual counseling (many women in big change hunger to experience more of their own authentic spirituality), dreamwork, body-based awareness, and energy psychology. My approach with you is personalized, because everyone has different needs and different ways of exploring, learning, and healing. Most important, though, is that I listen clearly and compassionately to your unique story, and help you discover the particular meaning of your journey while clarifying the choices available on that journey. My job (and my joy) is to help you connect with your own wisdom and intuition. I've lived through some huge transitions, including life-threatening illness and divorce, personally experiencing both the confusions and tremendous creativity of big transitions.

Erika Falit-Baiamonte,  MSW, LICSW  (206) 395-8268
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
10303 Meridian Ave. North, Suite #200, Seattle, WA 98133
Location: Near North Seattle Community College
General Practice Area: I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy to and supporting those who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal and family conflicts, job related stress, behavioral issues in children, parenting concerns and the impact of trauma, illness and life transitions. My current practice is open to adolescents, children, adults, couples and families. I am particularly interested in supporting families in their relationships with one another and I believe in encouraging choices that are nurturing to all family members. My approach is based upon psychodynamic and developmental theories which focus on how one's history and past experiences impact the quality of one's relationships and life choices. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral methods and brief, solution-focused strategies depending upon the specific issues that are presented. In my work with children, I see my role as working in collaboration with parents to understand their child's experience and address his or her concerns. As children are usually unable to express their feelings directly, I use play therapy to encourage and facilitate figurative and indirect communication. For new clients, I provide a free phone consultation. I am eligible to be reimbursed by insurance companies and I offer a reduced rate for those with financial need. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. [ Email Erika Falit-Baiamonte ]

Jim Marshall,  MA, LMHC  (206) 708-6095
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
10350 Mary Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98177
Niche Specialty©: Couple or Marriage Counselor. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work with couples, which is a research-based approach to working with couples that is proven successful and provides couples with usable, practical tools to positively manage their relationship.
Location: My office is in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a dead-end street next to Carkeek Park
General Practice Area: I work with couples (married or not) and with individuals. I work with times of transition, along with the depression and grief that can be sparked by these. By "transition," I mean concerns around aging, moving into any new stage of life—from student to working adult, from single to partnered, from partnered to single, from one geographic location or one career to another. The relationship between counselor and client is the key to a successful experience. I see counseling as a collaborative process and work with clients to establish goals and desired outcomes. I use therapeutic tools as needed and useful to explore and resolve the client's concerns. It is important to receive new tools for living, but it is just as important to learn to use the tools effectively with the support of counseling. Our first meeting will be to get acquainted, ask lots of questions of each other and determine if we want to continue. There is no charge for this meeting. Once we decide to work together, we will schedule our first working session. I believe that most concerns can be resolved in a relatively brief and purposeful process. Issues will get the time and attention needed, so the length of the process will vary. It is important that you feel you are making progress and we will talk about what making progress looks like so we both understand and agree.

Henschel-McGerry Associates
Walter McGerry,  MA, LMHC, LMFT  (206) 364-8315
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
North Seattle near Bitter Lake, Seattle, WA 98177
Location: My office is near Bitter Lake in the Broadview Nieghborhood of north Seattle. The #5 and #28 bus routes are nearby.
General Practice Area: As a licensed mental health counselor I work with adults and adolescents looking for: • A fuller acceptance of self • More workable relations with others • A connection to their own inner guidance and courage • A sense of their own basic wholeness and goodness • A renewed sense of their belonging and contribution to the world I am also a licensed marriage and family therapist. I can see couples with my wife and co-therapist, Cathy Henschel-McGerry, M.A., LMFT, LMHC. Some couples find that working with a couple rather than an individual enhances their feelings of safety and balance in doing this work. I also see couples on my own, which some couples prefer. Intimacy can grow when there are two people who manage to maintain their separate sense of existence and simultaneously maintain their interest in the experience of the other. Sometimes couples aren't looking to come together but to separate with mutual respect and empowerment. It is true that even when intimacy isn't the goal, these abilities to honor your separate identity and that of the other and to be interested in their experience as well as your own, is important.

Andrew Bryant,  MSW, LSWA-IC  (206) 384-8604
Licensed Social Worker Associate- Independent Clinical
10303 Meridian Ave, Suite #200, Seattle, WA 98133
Location: My office is on the second floor of the Meridian Group, an office building located on the west side of Meridian Avenue at 103rd street, just north of North Seattle Community College, and a few blocks south of Northgate Way.
General Practice Area: Therapy involves getting to know ourselves better – our beliefs, our feelings and reactions, our relationships, and the patterns we live by. I work with people who want to understand themselves better and make more positive life decisions. Many of my clients find themselves continually falling into negative patterns with friends, family, partners, and career choices. Others struggle with confidence, self-worth, and an incessant inner critic. My work with couples and families focuses on finding alternatives to negative patterns of interaction, and increasing effective communication. I believe that through therapy we can become more open and accepting of ourselves and our past experiences, however painful. We can learn to live freer, happier, and more satisfying lives. My website provides more information on my specific approaches to adult, couples, child/adolescent, and family therapy. If you have additional questions or simply want to talk about my therapeutic approach, please call or email to set up an introductory meeting.
