Welcome to Sammamish Counseling!

Sammamish counseling was founded to serve the mental health needs of the members of our community with skill and compassion.

Our minds create a powerful drive within to heal unresolved problems. Some of these problems hit us out of the blue and catch us by surprise. Other problems have been around a long time and are like good friends we have grown a bit sick of.

We work with all ages, genders, sexual orientation, and all mental health diagnosis. We connect with genuine concern; think deeply looking for answers inside the person, in the relationship, in the family, at the school, and sometimes even in the community.

The real benefit is no longer living with the problem or enduring the pain alone without adequate resources; whether it is the need for emotional support or quick and easy access to creative solutions, we make the difference by helping you help yourself.

Sammamish Counseling, when life hurts, we are here for you.
