Introduction: Hi My name is Allison Grace Elmlund. I work in person and remotely in Washington State. I am not licensed to work remotely in other states for individual or marriage counseling. There is no option to limit remote work to a specific area on the Thumbtack app. My office is in Lynnwood, WA. I use a platform called Sessions for video therapy which is HIPPA compliant. I work via phone as well. Individual Counseling: Everyone has a story. I will help you to find the strengths hidden in your life experiences and build on those strengths. Part of that work is to process those experiences in order to take the sting out your story. Each step you take is a stepping stone toward more freedom, less fear and a calm confidence that you will find within. Couples Counseling: Being a couple and having a strong relationship as a couple are two different experiences. The couples I see want less conflict, to be seen and heard by their partners; to have more fun and a greater bond. This takes work. If you understand what is at the core of your conflict and learn how to communicate without defensiveness, you will create a stronger relationship. I can teach you what you need to know to understand and communicate better. I am also a Certified Medical Hypnotherapist and Hypnotherapist. This is completely separate from my counseling services. Fees are competitive and TBD when I talk with clients. Specialties: Smoking Cessation Addictions Weight Loss Sleep Disorders Fears and Phobias Chronic Illness Pain Managenent Fees: I work on a sliding fee based on an individual's or couples finances. I can work with most HSA accounts. I will also create a monthly Superbill for clients that they can present to insurers for reimbursement under certain circumstances. Covid: I am working with individuals and couples in my office. I also offer video therapy via Sessions which is a HIPPA compliant video counseling platform. My Professional License is listed in the pictures section of this app. because the app does not allow listings of Washington State licenses. I'm a verified counselor with Psychology Today. I use a client centered approach along with the best tools to help clients get results fast. I thrive on seeing my clients move out of survival mode into living, then thriving. Clients who are ready to move on are encouraged to do so. I offer weekly, bi-weekly and monthly sessions as clients progress. Thereafter, my door is open on an as needed basis after clients have made the significant progress they desire.
