Jerry Finley, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Jerry!

I am clinically trained with a strong Christian Counseling background, bringing both professional expertise and faith-based perspective to my work with clients.

My focus

I work with anyone needing help. I am a Navy Veteran and have worked for state entities. A lot of my clients are first responders and Veterans navigating unique challenges related to service.

My approach

I use numerous theoretical approaches. I am mainly solution-focused. This means I will adjust the treatment to the client's needs.

My communication style

I work on building trust first. I use humor and compassion to make the sessions non-intimidating. We are here to work together to come up with a plan that is best for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I just enjoy helping others. It's my way of paying it back to Veterans and First responders. I set out on this journey and haven't looked back.

My goals for you

I help you with establishing goals and plans to accomplish those goals, breaking them down into manageable steps we can work through together.

Our first session

A short chat to get to know each other a bit. Then I like to get right into what brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish.
