About My Clients
JCPS offers evidence-based, culturally responsive therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples across WA state (in-person and telehealth) and virtually to those living in a PSYPACT approved state (https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap). Our team of therapists have expertise in treating the following diagnoses: Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Insomnia, PTSD/Trauma, OCD, Psychosis, and experiences related to gender, sexuality, race and other intersecting identities.
My Background and Approach
Our team of therapists work with you to create an individualized treatment plan that is informed by your personal goals and values. Aspects of your past, personal identities, culture, and values give light to current experiences and are discussed throughout therapy. Your therapist will periodically check-in regarding your progress to ensure that your sessions are helpful and effective. We currently have five highly trained and experienced therapists on staff: Kelly Allred, PhD, Jennifer Buchman, PhD, Daniel Gross, LICSW, Janelle Painter, PhD, and Kristen Strack, PhD.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
At JCPS, we believe that we are all doing the best we can with the tools we have AND that there is always space for change and growth. We empower individuals to live meaningful and fulfilling lives through the use of evidence-based treatments and skills. Therapy is an active component in one’s journey to wellness, and the progress seen is tightly connected to the amount of effort a person puts forth. Thus, we expect each individual to commit to the therapy process, which includes attending sessions regularly and practicing skills between sessions. Because we have seen time and time again that the services we provide work, we also expect that as a person experiences improvements they will need less support from therapy.
