Jorie Wehrell, LMFT

Jorie Wehrell brings 14 years of experience working across diverse therapeutic settings, from therapeutic group homes and the juvenile justice system to community mental health and private practice. Her background includes a BA in Psychology, an MA in Child, Couple, and Family Therapy, and an MBA in Healthcare Management, along with specializations as a child mental health specialist and a maternal mental health specialist.

She practices as an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in Washington (WA LMFT LF60231144). Jorie’s work centers on the belief that individuals, couples, and families often possess the resources to support one another and solve problems, though life circumstances or long-standing patterns can make that difficult. She helps people step back from entrenched responses, reexamine personal narratives, and develop clearer ways of meeting needs and resolving conflicts.

Her approach is collaborative, client-centered, and active, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Jorie draws from a range of clinical methods, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailoring interventions to the goals and timeframes clients bring to their work.

Jorie works with a wide array of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy and sexual issues, eating and mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. She also focuses on attachment patterns, blended family dynamics, communication and commitment challenges, fertility and perinatal concerns, and women's issues, offering practical coping skills alongside reflective exploration of past patterns.
