Jennifer North, LMHC

Jennifer North is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of professional experience who helps people clarify their choices and navigate life changes. She frames destiny as shaped by intentional decisions and works collaboratively to help clients understand the choices they make, develop healthier decision-making habits, and build skills to cope with circumstances that cannot be changed. Her practice begins by meeting clients where they are and mapping out practical steps toward where they want to go, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and ecotherapy to tailor each approach to the individual.

Jennifer brings a broad background to her counseling work, including an earlier career rooted in environmental interpretation. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Interpretation from Prescott College and spent many years as a naturalist in state and national parks and as a kayak guide in the San Juan Islands. She later completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Ashford University and a Masters Degree in Counseling from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys reading, gardening, and exploring the region's forests and waterways, often carrying a pair of binoculars to observe the natural world.
