Abortion: Post-abortion Counselor - Counseling
(Counseling after or
following an abortion)
Having an abortion is an event that marks one's life. For many women, this is an event that triggers a myriad of emotions and thoughts, and yet it is so rarely shared with others on a personal level. These experiences can greatly impact the way we live, how we interact and those around us. I believe that deep healing, transformative insight and new freedom can come through the process of therapy following an abortion. -- female counselor, in Greenlake area of Seattle, WA

Art therapy is very useful in working with adolescents, who are at a developmental stage in which introspection and self defenses are high. Adolescents often express themselves and explore their identities creatively, and are therefore very open to using the creative process of art therapy as a form of self expression. --female counselor, downtown Seattle, Washington.
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. --female counselor in Lynnwood, Washington.

As a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS), I have experience working with youth and families in crisis and/or providing therapeutic services. I enjoy working with youth-related issues, parenting, family conflict, and marital/relationship issues. --male counselor on Capitol Hill area of Seattle, WA.
Helping adolescents feel accepted and understood. As an adolescent you might deal with anxiety, depression, isolation, being overwhelmed. I might also work with your parents or your family if that helps you to thrive and become a happier person. --female counselor in Eastlake area of Seattle, Washington.

productive and satisfying adult lives."

Art Therapy, including Soul Collage, a form of art therapy
Art Therapy. -- female counselor in Renton, Washington.
Art making, creative self-expression and play are all natural forms of human communication and language. Art Therapy invites the client to use this "language" to express and heal from their emotional burdens. Art gives "voice" to more of the client's experience than just their words alone. Materials available: a large range of fine art & craft supplies, play therapy supplies, full sand tray, figurines, puppets, stuffed animals, games and music. -- female counselor in Edmonds, Washington.

The body holds the stress of the mind, and the mind holds the stress of the body- so healing must begin with attention to the mind and body connection.

Buddhist Contemplative Psychotherapy --Therapist
Contemplative psychotherapy is a blend of
classical psychology and Buddhist psychology. It does not require an interest in
Buddhism or meditation. There is a basic belief that the individual is inherently
good. There is an emphasis on present moment experiences rather than relying on
past experiences alone. It is a "here and now" therapy that cultivates mindfulness
and awareness. Clients develop mental skills that they can continue to use long
after therapy is completed.
