About

Hello, my name is Judson Haynes and I look forward to working with you. I practice in Washington State and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP).

I began counseling in 2008 and have worked in a variety of settings that include private practice, treatment centers for addiction and co-occurring disorders, and at a community mental health center as a crisis counselor.

I have experience working with clients of all ages, sexual orientations, and genders on many issues. I have also worked extensively with families and loved ones who are trying to navigate through the addiction of a loved one. My primary areas of expertise are anxiety and depressive disorders, addiction, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I believe in and practice an empathic, person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approach when counseling. I rely on a variety of evidence-based practices that best meet the need of the individual. This includes but not limited to motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy.

My main goal in therapy is to provide a non-judgmental and accepting setting where you are heard and understood. If you have any questions regarding my approach or whether I am a good match, please do not hesitate to ask.

With regard to online therapy, it is important to me that I respond as quickly as able to clients. At this time, I am only able to offer asynchronous messaging with clients; however, I am occasionally able to schedule live chat, phone, or video calls.

Availability: I will respond to messages throughout the day, at least once per day, Monday through Friday.

Thank you.
