Meet Helene
Helene Bringsli, MA, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist
Specialties: Couples, Trauma
Hi there, I'm excited to welcome you to a space of authentic healing and growth. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach, as I understand the importance of building a trusting alliance that fosters open communication and exploration. Whether you're navigating the complexities of relationships or embarking on an individual exploration, I invite you to join me on a path of self-discovery and empowerment.
My approach focuses on cultivating vulnerability, understanding, empathy and effective communication. I believe that understanding our history and fostering self-awareness and resilience are key to healing. In working with couples, I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), guiding couples in identifying and reshaping negative patterns, fostering deeper emotional connections, and ultimately creating a more secure and fulfilling bond. I’m also trained in EMDR, a method that facilitates the reprocessing of distressing memories.
As your therapist, I’ll work to create an environment that nurtures authenticity and collaboration. Together, we'll work towards growth and healing, and bring about the positive changes you wish to see in your life.

Meet Jennie
Jennie Jung, MA, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist
Specialties: Maternal Mental Health, Cultural Issues, Childhood Trauma
Welcome! Seeking therapy takes courage. In this process of searching for a therapist, you are taking the most important and powerful step towards healing and growth. I offer support to individuals and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, racial identity, cultural conflict, and more. My journey as a psychotherapist began with my own experience of navigating my mental health and bicultural identity as a first-generation Korean American woman, partner, and mother. This valuable lived experience has added to my training as a therapist in understanding the significance of culture that informs the way we experience suffering and pain.
I have worked with clients at a community-based mental health agency with a special focus on exploring how culture, family dynamics and unspoken wounds from the past impact our sense of self. I am passionate about connecting with your culturally unique path and integrating your culture-bound values into your healing and growth.
Much of our emotional pain is created in relationships. These wounds can also be healed in relationships. This is why I believe that much of the success in therapy depends on our therapeutic relationship. My hope is that my authentic self I bring to our work and the trust and connection we build in our relationship facilitate this healing process. Change and growth can be hard but together, we give voice to your fear and pain, heal and nurture your wounded self, and reconnect to your true self, to begin the work of life-changing growth.
