Richard Dalke, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Richard!

I help clients reduce stress, regulate emotions, and work through emotional pain from triggering memories using Emotional Freedom Techniques and Mindfulness. I support people in releasing beliefs and patterns that block progress, working through grief, phobias, cravings, and childhood memories still impacting their present.

My focus

I work with individuals seeking to overcome obstacles and unlock their true potential through self-exploration. My clients are ready to uncover their authentic selves, identify what brings lasting fulfillment, and embark on a transformative journey toward holistic well-being and alignment with purpose.

My approach

I draw upon EFT, Reiki, Shamanic techniques, guided imagery, meditation, and mindfulness to facilitate transformation and self-discovery. By channeling universal life force energy and tapping into ancient wisdom, I help clients release emotional blockages and cultivate inner peace.

My communication style

I hold space to help you feel safe enough emotionally to express what you are feeling, experiencing, and wanting to work through. I value clear and open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been on a self-growth and spiritual journey, exploring diverse healing modalities including talk therapy, guided imagery, hypnosis, Reiki, Shamanic healing, and EFT. I primarily focus on Mindfulness techniques now, using methods that help clients tune into their bodies, emotions, and any blockages preventing them from reaching their goals.

My goals for you

Counseling is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights.

Our first session

A typical session begins with meditative relaxation and setting an intention. I guide you in tapping on acupressure points while discussing issues you want to work through, helping calm the nervous system and shift brain activity to allow for relaxation and clearer thinking.
