Wellness Counseling

Taking a personalized approach to mental health and relationships, Wellness Counseling Inc. provides therapy for individuals, couples, and families experiencing trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Therapists also specialize in bipolar disorder, eco-anxiety, cultural identity concerns, and the stresses first responders face. Clients can access in-person sessions on Bainbridge Island or telehealth, with concentrated EMDR and couples intensives available when weekly therapy does not provide enough time for deeper work.

Tailoring Therapy to Each Client

Wellness Counseling Inc. uses an integrative, evidence-based approach, matching therapy to each client’s concerns and goals. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness build ways to manage thoughts, emotions, and stress. Couples work draws from Gottman Method and emotionally focused therapy to strengthen communication and connection, while Family Systems explores relationship patterns.

Going Beyond Weekly Therapy

For clients wanting more concentrated care, Wellness Counseling Inc. provides 1–3-day in-person EMDR intensives and 3–5-day couples marathons or retreats on Bainbridge Island. EMDR intensives give clients extended time to process trauma, distressing experiences, and past injuries connected to current symptoms. Couples marathons use Gottman Couples Therapy and can incorporate EMDR to address unresolved relationship injuries, communication, conflict, and intimacy. Retreat options include private accommodations and, for additional costs, private-chef meals, massage, spa services, or private yoga.
