What is Counseling?

Counseling  & Therapy Olympia, WA


Counseling is a popular first-line treatment to remedy mental health symptoms or work through difficult stages in life. It is an approach that is easily tailored regarding therapy goals, time availability, and selection of therapy exercises. Active collaboration and communication between the patient/s and the therapist is core to creating a safe environment to explore mental health difficulties. It involves patients engaging in vulnerable activities and potentially discussing topics or engaging in behaviors outside of their comfort zone. In doing so, many individuals, couples, and families are able to overcome their mental health difficulties and personal challenges.


Learn more about how we ensure best practices during our counseling and therapy sessions as well as how we conduct counseling and therapy for couples and fellow therapists.

"I highly recommend Creative Wellness. David and his business partners and staff are extremely professional and also warm. If you are new to therapy, they will help you to feel more comfortable. If you have a history of depression and have not found medication helpful, TMS is a good alternative."

"was a really supportive and trauma informed place to receive TMS, and I felt much better after treatment. If you are considering TMS I recommend talking to them, they are accessible and easy to connect to, and do a good job explaining the process in a clear way. Thanks to Dr. Simonsen and team!"

"I cannot say enough about Creative Solutions, Dr. Simonsen, his staff, and TMS. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. They were very thorough in explaining the what's/why's/how's and extremely professional every step of the way. I feel better than I have in YEARS."

"TMS therapy was super helpful, I came to him with severe depression and taking meds that helped very minimally! I was impressed with how quickly I noticed changes with my mental health and my desire to actually want to get up and do things where as before I had zero desire for anything! "
