If you are interested in counseling, that's great! I work in the Sunnyland Neighborhood of Bellingham Washington. Some of the features of my practice? I work for myself (no boss?), I return calls, and I truly care about the people I work with. About me? I have ADHD, I'm a nerd, a Dad, an athlete, socially awkward, and I love Wes Anderson movies and Star Wars. I'm a cis-gendered male who loves to meet people who aren't. Poly and queer welcomed here! I specialize treating trauma and anxiety.
When the past shakes you, EMDR re-processing helps let it go. I use grounding techniques (eye movement, tapping, hand held buzzers), somatic processing (how remembering the experience feels in your body), and mentalizing (how you think about the experience, such as "I'm a disappointment") to process trauma.
Recent Traumatic Events Protocol (RTEP) is designed to quickly process recent events such as assault, natural disasters, or car accidents which can be horrible but not necessarily deeply linked to other live events. RTEP for recent car accidents is usually covered under medical for car accidents.
Click above for my contact page, or call/text 360-594-5206, I will reply ASAP, and if I can't help you we can look at other possibilities. I have reached my cap for patients with any insurance that is not Premera or Lifewise.
