Counseling Practice – Finding Center Counseling
Located at 1329 North State Street, Suite 212, in Bellingham, Washington 98225, Finding Center Counseling is operated by Jennifer Given-Helms, a licensed mental health professional (License #LW60903242). The practice centers on holistic family support with particular focus on teens, young adults, and the parents who care for them.
Services include individual counseling for teens and those in their twenties, parent support, couples counseling for parents, and clinical supervision. Given-Helms describes her therapeutic style as strengths-based and collaborative, creating a space that addresses the emotional, spiritual, cognitive, somatic, and sexual dimensions of a client’s experience. The practice emphasizes total acceptance and neutrality as core elements of the clinical relationship.
Primary therapeutic modalities include somatic therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy, an approach developed through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI), with which Given-Helms holds a professional affiliation. The practice integrates somatic practices and tools to support the healthy integration of growth and self-discovery. Clinical topics addressed include sex-positivity, self-advocacy, and self-compassion work.
Finding Center Counseling identifies itself as an LGBTQ+ affirming and safe space. Given-Helms holds professional memberships with the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
