Most of all, I believe real change starts with a genuine, comfortable relationship.
My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope!

My name is John Michael Jennings and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I'm passionate about creating a supportive space for clients to process what they're feeling and what they've been through.

I specialize in working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, difficult family dynamics, complex trauma, and questions about gender identity and/or sexuality.

I have worked as a therapist since 2014 and really enjoy supporting people in exploring their identity, processing trauma, navigating life transitions, and parenting. I use several different therapy modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting. Together we can find what works best for you.
Navigating a difficult relationship, struggling with a life transition, or just unsure how to proceed in making your life what you want it to be? I provide a supportive and totally non-judgmental environment for you to explore your options and figure out concrete ways to move forward.
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.
With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.
Having grown up in Taiwan, studied in the U.S., and spent a few years in China and Singapore, I truly understand what it feels like to adapt to new environments while trying to stay true to yourself. You work hard, yet it never feels like enough. You’re overwhelmed but can’t slow down. Your mind races, making it hard to feel grounded. You want stronger connections, more balance, and to feel present in your life. Most of all, you want to feel at ease with yourself and trust that who you are is enough. It’s not just about adjusting; it’s about finding a way to thrive while honoring where you come from. Since 2008, I’ve worked with English- and Mandarin-speaking adults facing major life shifts, whether it’s stress, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or career uncertainty. You do not have to face these challenges alone; together, we'll create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.
Hello, I'm Cristina. I help people who struggle with high functioning anxiety, people-pleasing, and constant overthinking, even when they appear to have things together on the outside. I also work with those who find themselves questioning their relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or navigating major life transitions such as new relationships, marriage, or becoming a parent.
As a bilingual therapist, I work with teens, young adults, and adults who want to better understand the patterns shaping their anxiety, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we focus on building stronger self-awareness, clearer boundaries, and greater confidence in your decisions so you can move forward with more clarity and self-trust.
Availability for in person Thursday appointments 1pm and 3pm! As both a therapist and dietitian, I offer holistic, mind-body care for relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. My goal is to create a safe space where you can slow down, be present, and thoughtfully explore yourself and your needs.
Hi, I'm TJ — a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of A Better You Wellness, LLC. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens (17+) across Texas, offering both in-person sessions in the Fort Worth area and teletherapy statewide.
My training is deeply relational. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I hold additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional, Master NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist — training that shapes how I think about healing beyond the surface level. I specialize in relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity and trust repair, and premarital counseling, along with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, career stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.
What sets my approach apart is a philosophy of integration. I believe that meaningful, lasting healing rarely comes from one method alone. The experiences that shape us — especially the hard ones — leave imprints on the mind and body, and I honor both in my work. Clients often tell me they feel heard from the very first conversation, and that's something I take seriously.
Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bellingham
Finding therapists in Bellingham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Others list training in approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. As you compare Bellingham therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain what sessions may look like.
In a smaller city like Bellingham, local therapist availability can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. You may find in-person therapy in areas such as Fairhaven, Downtown, or Cornwall Park, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Washington. It can help to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they communicate, what populations they support, and how they structure care.
Therapy in Bellingham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book.
