Feeling Stuck or Struggling to Cope?

Life can get heavy, whether it’s feeling stuck in grief, facing tough moments in a relationship, or coping with the ups and downs of parenting. Sometimes emotions like worry, sadness, or anger make it hard to get through each day.

Stress, conflict at home, or concerns about your teen might be weighing on your mind. You’re not alone if things feel a bit too much right now.

As experience clinicians, our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can’t change the past, we can work together to understand and resolve current challenges.

Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, we’ll address long-standing behaviors and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from a more fulfilling and meaningful life. 

Trusted by Washington families for over 15 years.

Today, we share something deeply personal and profoundly human: a video written and created by our founder and her daughter, Aspen, in honor of their beloved son and brother, who passed from an accidental overdose on November 12, 2019.

This video is a tribute ~ not only to one life but to the love that continues beyond loss. It’s an offering to all who have loved someone deeply and have had to learn how to love them differently after they’ve transitioned.

🌿 Love That Transcends Loss

Grief is, at its core, love ~ love with nowhere to go. When someone we love dies, that love does

Honoring Mental Health Awareness

November 11, 2025

Mental health touches every part of who we are. It’s how we connect, how we cope, and how we show up in the world. At Eastside Counseling Center, we see wellness as a shared journey, not a single moment in time. Healing grows when we honor the link between our inner experience and the world around us, and when self-care becomes an act of connection and compassion. 

Why Awareness Matters

When we think of “mental health emergencies,” we might imagine disaster zones or global crises. Yet many of us live in the wake of smaller, personal emergencies. These can be anything from relational breakdowns to chronic stress, to grief, or community upheaval.

According to the World Health Organization, one in four people will experienc
