Let’s explore how to saturate life with meaning, intention, and vitality.
Haven Healing and Wellness, based in Washington State, curates safe places of refuge to recharge your natural energy and experience the enlivening power of supportive relationships.
You may be functioning on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath it all. Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You are tired but have a hard time relaxing, find yourself overthinking decisions, or feel like you have lost touch with what you actually want.
Haven Healing and Wellness provides online therapy throughout Washington State for adults and teens seeking support with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, identity, emotional regulation, relationships, and personal growth. Therapy is a place to better understand yourself, work differently with difficult thoughts and emotions, and build a life that feels more intentional, meaningful, and aligned with your values.
Jess Allen is the human behind Haven. She is a licensed mental health counselor associate who works with adults across multiple communities and identities: LGBTQIA+, non-denominational spirituality, and people in the music festival and EDM community.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, parts work, attachment-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and other evidence-based practices.
Online Therapy in Washington State for a Meaningful Life
“All of our internal challenges, the most neurotic and gnarly stuff, that’s really your beauty. That’s what you can leverage for your own awakening, if you have a practice to embrace it.”
- Fleet Maul [interviewed by Dan Harris]
Therapy That Makes Room for All of Who You Are
Finding the right therapist is about more than finding someone who treats anxiety or stress. You may also want a therapist who understands the communities, values, identities, and experiences that are important to you.
Jess offers an affirming and nonjudgmental space for:
Adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress
People going through life transitions or questioning what comes next
Ravers, festival-goers, and members of EDM and other alternative communities
People interested in mindfulness, spirituality, meaning, and personal growth
You do not need to fit neatly into one category. Therapy can address both the problems that are making life difficult and the deeper questions about who you are and how you want to live.
A Different Kind of Therapy for People Who Want More Than Symptom Management
Reducing anxiety and stress matters, but therapy can also be about creating a life that feels more alive. Together, we may explore patterns that keep repeating, your relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, the beliefs you have developed about yourself, and the values that you want to guide your decisions.
It is impossible to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. Instead, I can support you in developing greater flexibility, self-understanding, confidence, and the ability to respond intentionally when life becomes difficult. Therapy with me may incorporate mindfulness, contemplative practices, spirituality, creativity, nature, and questions of meaning and purpose.
Virtual Therapy Across Washington State
Haven Healing and Wellness provides virtual psychotherapy for clients throughout Washington State, allowing you to meet with a therapist from your own space without commuting to an office.
Online therapy may be a good fit if you live in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Spokane, Vancouver, Bellingham, Olympia, or elsewhere in Washington and are looking for a therapist whose approach and specialties resonate with you.
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles.
Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.
This is the trick.
This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood.
This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.”
