Welcome to Hart NW

Our Philosophy

At Hart NW Counseling, we believe everyone has the power inside them to heal and live their best lives. Instead of telling you what to do, we help you find your own answers. Our therapists are caring partners in your journey, ready to reflect your true self and provide guidance when needed. We use honesty, humor, and kindness to empower you to create your own path.

Core Principles

Our work is guided by important values:

  • Humor: We believe laughter is a vital part of healing.

  • Self-Empowerment: You have the strength to make changes in your life.

  • Unconditional Love and Compassion: We support you no matter what.

  • Improved Consciousness: We help you become more aware of yourself and your feelings.

  • Belief in Human Potential: We believe everyone can grow and change.

These values help create a trusting and joyful environment where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background.

What We Hope to Achieve

We aim to help you:

  • Improve Connections: Feel closer to yourself and others.

  • Increase Compassion: Learn to be kind to yourself and others.

  • Gain Emotional Flexibility: Build resilience and adaptability.

  • Feel Empowered: Take control of your life with joy and clarity.

At the end of our work together, we want you to feel more connected to yourself and the world around you. The first step in your healing journey is deciding to prioritize yourself. We understand this takes courage, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Our Approach

We look at wellness and mental health as a whole. Many systems focus only on reducing symptoms, but we believe in helping you reclaim your power and realize that you are worthy just because you exist.

We use various therapeutic techniques, including:

  • Brainspotting

  • Harm Reduction

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Parts Work

  • Mindfulness

  • Mind-Body Connection

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

By connecting mind, body, and spirit, we help you move past beliefs that may hold you back.

The Role of Our Therapists

Our therapists are dedicated to their own growth and personal work. They help you recognize and challenge limiting beliefs, replacing them with positive ideas that match your true self. They listen carefully and create a safe space for you to explore and grow.
