About Jennifer
Jennifer North is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience helping people make clearer choices about their lives. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Jennifer also supports people who are searching for greater life purpose and direction.
She begins by meeting people where they are and asking what they want to change. Sessions aim to clarify decisions, develop practical skills, and build ways to handle things that can’t be changed. Jennifer blends several evidence-based techniques so work in sessions is flexible and task-focused.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Interpretation and many years working outdoors as a naturalist and kayak guide. She later completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Lewis and Clark College. Those experiences shape a practical, grounded approach to therapy.
In sessions she may use parts of cognitive behavioral work to notice thinking patterns and behavioral steps to change them. She draws on mindfulness and ecotherapy ideas to bring attention to the present and connect with nature-based ways of coping. Motivational interviewing and DBT-informed skills are tools she uses to build motivation and self-management.
Outside of practice she enjoys reading, gardening, and exploring local forests and waterways, often with binoculars in hand. Her outdoor background often informs how she frames goals and activities in counseling.
