Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Chewelah, WA

DBT skills have the power to transform your life by improving your ability to regulate emotions regulation, tolerate distress, be mindful and ask for what you want while maintaining your self-respect. If you are struggling with negative thoughts, rumination, harmful behaviors or relationship difficulties, DBT can give you the awareness and skills to make changes! I work with clients who struggle with managing emotions or want to change specific behaviors. I have extensive experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and personality disorders. For more info check out my website at www.fortifiedudbt.com

Do you find that there are unhelpful patterns in your life that you keep repeating? Maybe it's multiple unhealthy relationships, or self-sabotaging behaviors. Do you struggle with an unrelenting inner critic that makes every perceived failure feel catastrophic? Perhaps you're in the midst of a big change or transition in your life and you're struggling to adjust. You're most likely looking for a therapist who is warm and compassionate, who understands your specific struggle, and is able to help you make sense of the swarm of thoughts circling in your head.

Hi! I’m Ashley Sears, a Marriage and Family Therapy Intern, at National University. I have a passion for supporting individuals with complex developmental trauma. Trauma can hold us hostage to our past and I hope to provide a pathway to freedom in healing. Additionally, I believe strongly in helping both intimate and family relationships as these connections are often an anchor in life. Relationships don’t come with an instruction manual and can easily get thrown into chaos due to everyday life events. Thankfully, seeking support is the first step towards a new beginning.

No matter what you're struggling with, we are all naturally wired to heal and find restoration. My goal is to help clients find peace in their bodies and minds by working to heal their overstressed nervous system. This includes providing a supportive relationship and a personalized approach for every client. I use a variety of evidence based techniques including EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapies (DBT & ACT). This flexible approach helps me tailor the sessions to each client in order to provide the most helpful resources.

Have you ever felt misunderstood? Have you tried to create relationships that are supportive and don't know why it's not working? Do you have dreams you want to tap into, but are afraid to step outside your comfort zone? As a therapist, I strive to empower individuals to find and develop their authentic path. I want to work with you to find the obstacles in your way so we can work together to help you achieve your goals. I strive to help you create a balance between work and play, to assist with coping skills and self-soothing techniques and help you create self-care for your busy life.

My speciality is working with those who want to improve their overall wellbeing. Do you feel stuck in stress, sadness, trauma, numbness, or isolation? Perhaps you struggle to maintain relationships, or find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy boundaries. You may question your own worth and struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings with those in your life. Whatever your struggles, you are most likely hoping for more peace of mind, connection, confidence, and compassion. Just like our bodies heal from scrapes and bruises, we are also built and meant to heal emotionally and mentally. Counseling is a great way to gain life skills.

Does it feel like your emotions are controlling you rather than the other way around? Do you have a sense that some of your past experiences are affecting your current life, but you aren’t sure what to do or how to fix it? Do you want to feel more balanced and at ease? I offer treatments that can help. Whether you are struggling with work, academics, friendships, or intimate relationships, focused, goal-oriented therapy can provide the foundation for creating the life you want.

My ideal clients are adolescents and young adults navigating acute mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues related to autism. They seek to understand and manage their emotions, improve interpersonal skills, and ultimately achieve a better quality of life. Their goals often revolve around developing effective coping strategies, enhancing self-awareness, and building resilience against future stressors.

Mental disorders came from different origins in your life, such as Depression, Alcohol/substance abuse addiction, anxiety, grief, self-harming, suicidal and homicidal ideations, and mood dysregulation. In the long run, these caused you despair and hopelessness. And therefore, you have not been fully functioning as you would love to. No matter what or where your issues streamed from, my goal is help you reach your optimal level of function. I do believe that if everything in your life is fully functioning, then you will be able to enjoy your life to the fullest.

Hi, I'm Hope. Sometimes life is a struggle and it can feel difficult to navigate. Relationships, work, figuring out next steps and big life transitions. These can all feel scary and overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. I want to help you create a life that you find enjoyment in. Whether it's through processing old traumas, exploring your attachment style and how it affects your relationships, or finding coping skills that work for you, my goal is to offer hope and skills to empower you to seek the changes you desire, so you can begin living a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

I'm passionate about treating the whole person, which starts with good mental health. My practice is designed to encompass your entire journey with compassion, education, and strategies to achieve your optimal wellness goals. Collaboration on your needs and strengths is the goal of treatment to achieve your best outcomes.

Hello! I’m Melody, your guide through the maze of mental health, armed with DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Level II Accreditation and a flair for making therapy less of a chore and more of a journey. My expertise? BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). My passion? Turning the tangles of the mind into a clearer path forward. And when I'm not decoding the human psyche, I'm creating tales of murder and comedy where mannequins aren't just window dressing—they're the main suspects. My downtime involves strategizing world domination with my Russian Blue cats and family and friend hangouts

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and trauma related disorders. I offer a unique perspective specifically for law enforcement, military and first responders and their families, as well as pregnancy, post-partum, and the journey of motherhood. My passion is for those serving and raising our communities, those who grapple with crisis, traumas of others, and/or their own traumas. I provide a safe place to debrief these experiences, identify tools to manage the aftermath, and an avenue to continue serving with pride.

I approach therapy from an evidence-based perspective by letting you know what the research has shown to be the most effective way of handling whatever problems you’re struggling with. From there, we can work together to adapt that type of therapy to fit your specific needs & life circumstances so we can figure out how to make our sessions most helpful for you. I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT/PE, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness-based therapies amongst other evidence-based psychotherapies. I accept First Choice Health insurance, which frequently contracts with some Kaiser plans. Please call to confirm I am in-network with your plan.

You never imagined yourself in this position, and it is difficult to know where to turn and who can help. Trauma, addiction, divorce, blended family, and relationship dynamics impact everyone differently. You may be experiencing feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, questioning yourself, and losing direction. Together, we’ll focus on your overall well-being, not just the problems you bring to the table. Your experience and needs are unique, and your treatment should be individualized just for you.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have been trained in a variety of modalities and look forward to coming alongside you and joining you in your journey. I will do my best to cultivate a safe and trusting environment while paying close attention to your areas of strength and areas of desired growth and improvement. Each individual, couple, and family, is unique, and I will strive to provide a secure and nonjudgmental therapeutic space while working towards helping you meet your goals.

Let me guess? You have no options but telehealth but it feels difficult to connect with a person over the internet. Perhaps you have never done therapy before; your life is crazy, and you have no time. You've secretly always wanted to try putting yourself first, for a change, but you have no idea where to begin. I love helping my client's navigate the realities of mental health issues. You don't have to have all the answers; you just have to start somewhere.
