    The Approach: A unique blend of therapeutic processing and strategic planning. We address the emotional roots of your career blockages (e.g., fear of failure, workplace trauma) while simultaneously building a safe path forward.

    Key Distinction: Unlike standard career coaching, this includes clinical support to treat underlying mental health issues that might hinder your career progress.

  • Best For: Individuals that find themselves part of a co-founder, business partner, or professional collaborator dynamic. You might be facing trust issues, role ambiguity, equity disputes, or burnout within the relationship. Also available for solo entrepreneurs needing support with decision fatigue or isolation.

    The Approach: Unlike legal mediation or standard executive coaching, this service focuses on the human dynamic of your alliance (or your internal leadership dynamics). These sessions use therapeutic, trauma-informed, clinical relationship tools to resolve conflict, align vision, and establish healthy governance structures so that business goals don't destroy your professional relationships… or the founder(s).

    • Note: Business & Partnership Counseling is a clinical service conducted by a clinician with a graduate-level business education (BBA & MBA). These sessions are focused on relational dynamics within professional partnerships.

Serving Adults & Teens Across Washington State

We are proud to support a diverse community of individuals (ages 13+) from Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Bellingham, all the way to Snoqualmie, Kirkland, and beyond.

Jupiter Pines Counseling is designed for those who value:

Cultural Empathy

We understand the nuances of living in communities ranging from the San Juan Islands to the enclaves of Clyde Hill and Sammamish.

Accessibility

Whether you’re living the ferry life on one of the islands or the mainland, we offer flexible virtual and in-person options to fit your schedule.

Depth & Nuance

We go beyond surface-level mental health coping strategies to help you uncover deeper patterns that have shaped your life.

A Collaborative Care Approach to Your Well-Being

Individual therapy is a partnership. Here’s how we often work together in our weekly sessions:

  • Your first session begins by listening to your story, understanding your current struggles, hearing your symptoms, and identifying what you hope to achieve.

  • At Jupiter Pines Counseling, we believe that one size does not fit all.

    Your therapy sessions are tailored specifically to your unique history, values, and mental health goals. We provide a secure, confidential container where you can explore the root causes of anxiety, relationship patterns, or existential questions, so that you can move from feeling stuck to living with intention.

    Based on your needs, we integrate evidence-based modalities like ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Somatic and psychodynamic approaches to build a treatment plan that works for you, your history, your biology, and your overall goals.

  • Our sessions are dynamic. We adjust our approach as you and your life evolves so that every session supports you as you move closer to the life you envision for yourself.

Common Themes in Our Work with Adults & Teens

While every client’s story is vastly unique, many individuals we see from University Place, Tacoma North End, and surrounding areas come seeking support for:

  • Workplace burnout and career transitions

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, and chronic worry

  • Navigating complex family dynamic or relationship challenges

  • Grief, loss, and life transitions

  • Identity exploration and finding purpose
