Colleen Van Zante

MS, Professional Counselor Associate

Life can bring challenges that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Reaching out for support can be an important step toward understanding yourself and finding a path forward. Sometimes, having an outside perspective can help you see things in a new way. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy works best when we work together to understand your experiences, identify what matters most to you, and explore meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.

My therapeutic framework draws significantly from Narrative Therapy, which empowers you to look back on your story to derive new meaning, separating yourself from the problems that have defined you. In addition, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy, which helps us delve into the patterns of connection and disconnection in your relationships, fostering emotional security and deeper understanding. Through this lens, we will explore how your need for connection and protection influences your emotional landscape.

I am committed to empowering you to tap into your inherent resilience through curiosity and authenticity. I want you to know that I strive to understand your unique worldview within its broader context. Whether you're new to therapy or have prior experience, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you.

I use the pronouns she/her. Outside the office, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, supporting our local sports teams, and visiting the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
