I've never been to therapy. What actually happens in a session?

Mostly, you talk with someone trained to listen well and ask useful questions. Early sessions cover what brought you in and what you want to change; after that, you and your counselor work toward those goals with approaches matched to your situation, such as CBT for anxious thought patterns.

How long does counseling take?

It depends on your goals. Some concerns resolve in a couple of months of weekly sessions; deeper work takes longer. You set the pace with your counselor, and you can stop or pause at any time.

Can I do sessions by video?

Yes — we offer telehealth to adults anywhere in Washington State, alongside in-person sessions at our Spokane Valley office.

Individual Adult Counseling in Spokane Valley, WA

Child, Marriage & Family Counseling provides individual counseling for adults in Spokane Valley, WA, for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and major life transitions — in person or by telehealth across Washington.

Counseling for the adult carrying it all

Plenty of our adult clients arrive as the parent of a kid we see — and realize mid-stream that they’re carrying their own load. Others come on their own for anxiety that won’t quiet down, a flat gray depression, old trauma resurfacing, or a life transition that pulled the floor out. Whatever the door, individual counseling is time that is only about you.
