Welcome to Mindful Growth Counseling

Accessible virtual Couples and Trauma-Focused counseling in Washington and Oregon.

Mindful Growth Counseling offers evidence-based virtual therapy and coaching for adults and couples in Washington and Oregon, with specialized support for marital discord, relationship challenges, and individuals coping with PTSD and other traumas. Our trauma informed approach is grounded in CBT, ACT, and attachment focused work, which helps clients build resilience, increase self awareness, and develop practical skills for healthier relationships and improved emotional wellbeing. Accessible telehealth appointments and personalized care support lasting growth for both partners and individuals navigating trauma recovery.

The approach

Mindful Growth Counseling specializes in working with couples who are struggling with connection, trust, or communication. Through our work, we implement attachment-based theory and elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples rekindle, reconnect, and strengthen following stressful or testing situations. We help clients establish a new "normal" in their relationships and daily lives. We integrate knowledge of family dynamics, EFT, and attachment theory to increase each person’s accountability, rebuild trust between partners, and rekindle the romantic spark that may be missing.

We also work with individuals who are struggling with PTSD and trauma-related disorders, focusing on emotional regulation, increasing coping mechanisms, and developing insight into thought processes. Our clinicians have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to improve distress tolerance. We incorporate narrative therapy into sessions to help clients reclaim their personal stories and restore a sense of agency.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms

  • Better conflict resolution and relationship satisfaction

  • Increased confidence and self-compassion

  • Practical coping skills for everyday challenges

  • Greater stability after trauma or major life changes
