Licensed Mental Health Counselor
451 SW 10th Street, Suite 108, Renton, WA 98057
Niche Specialty©: Christian Counselors. I believe in treating the whole person not only spirtual issues but also physical, emotional, relational, etc...
Location: Office is located at intersection of 405 and 167 Freeways in downtown Renton, Washington. Building is the 451 Plaza at corner of Lind Ave and SW 10th Street.
General Practice Area: I work with clients dealing with a variety of clinical issues, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, premarital and marital distress, adolescent adjustment, and other general issues related to the struggles of daily living. I believe in a client centered approach to counseling, where the therapist and client work together as “partners” to address client issues. I have an eclectic bag of “tools” that I utilize in client sessions, most grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory. My main goal in any clinical relationship is to help my clients cope with current distress, identify faulty thinking and unhealthy patterns of behavior, learn and assimilate new coping skills, and ultimately achieve desired change. Additionally, I attempt to treat the “whole” person in the counseling session, focusing attention on physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual issues. If you are seeking help for the journey, please visit our website for further information. And, please note that our office is able to bill most insurance companies for services rendered.

Creative Arts Counseling
Jaime Dawson M.A LMHCA (206) 234-1124
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
58 Logan Ave S, Renton, WA 98057
General Practice Area: Creativity and play are important aspects of human life, aspects that unfortunately many of us don't get to experience in our busy day-to-day lives. It is important to remember that art and play are not only about the finished product, but about the creative process as well. It has been my experience that the process of creating( in art or in play) is very powerful--hence its usefulness in psychotherapy not only for children, but for adults too. In therapy use of the creative arts and play help give shape and form to experiences and emotions that are vague, troubling or not expressible in other ways. I work with a variety of issues in children, teens and adults including but not limited to: grief & loss, traumas, life transitions & adjustments, anxiety, depression, parent & child relational issues, family issues, child behavioral issues and personal growth & development. Together, through the creative process we can explore your unique life-world, identifying troublesome areas (thoughts, behaviors, emotions, patterns, etc) while emphasizing and encouraging qualities that move towards growth, healing and understanding.
