Our therapists offer DBT / dialectical behavior therapy in Vancouver, WA

I am Jacqueline Lloyd, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with 21 years of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions, and I remain deeply committed to fostering growth, resilience, and healing. My goal is to provide a supportive and culturally responsive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change.

I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Southern University A&M College. I draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and person-centered therapy, tailoring each session to meet my clients’ unique needs.

I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel, and I want my clients to know they do not have to face them alone. Whether you are feeling stuck, seeking clarity, or ready for transformation, I am here to walk alongside you with care and compassion as you take the next step toward healing.

I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing. I am Sam Bearer, a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience working with individuals and couples from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients work through emotional, relational, and interpersonal issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, anger, sexual issues, family and relationship dynamics, self-image and identity, communication, and mood and personality disorders.

I hold a master's in counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. My approach draws on multiple therapeutic modes, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, so I can stay flexible as each client explores their unique internal experience.

I love helping clients find self-acceptance as they explore their inner world and chart their own path forward. I'd love to get to know you and help you live in alignment with your values. When you need a partner to help you process life's difficulties with expertise and compassion, reach out to schedule an appointment.

I have been in the helping profession for over 25 years and have worked in many different roles during that time. I have worked with children to older adults and all ages in between. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and have worked with those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, as well as Bipolar disorder. I prefer to use a client centered approach, in which we would work collaboratively to determine the best course to take in addressing your needs and concerns and helping to decrease problem symptoms. 

I tend to lean towards the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in recognizing that the mind has a great effect on one's ability to change behaviors and habits. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) in an effort to direct and inspire you to realize and bring about change in your own life. 

I would be honored to help you work through what you've been carrying and find greater clarity. I bring care and understanding to everyone I work with — and I want you to know that change is possible, including changes you may not have realized you needed yet. Take the next step and schedule a session today to start taking an active role in your healing.

My name is Lonnie Renteria, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 9 years of experience. I provide a safe, judgment-free, supportive space for individuals, couples, and families. I take an experiential approach, helping clients discover truths about their needs, expectations, and hopes. I also specialize in working around trauma and attachment injuries.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. I am well-versed in emotion-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative therapy, & trauma work. I am continuing to enhance my training in internal family systems models, to be a more patient and empathetic therapist. 

I have a genuine interest in your process, and I encourage you to be the best you can be. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and build the life that we want to live. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership and a forum for gaining a better understanding of ourselves, not a place to "get rid of" or "fix" something. Get started today!
