Hello, and welcome! My name is J’aime McGinnis-Cooper, LICSW, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Anchored Counseling & Treatment Services (ACTS). First, I want to acknowledge that taking the first step toward counseling isn't always easy. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I want you to know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, honest, and occasionally sprinkled with humor. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective. However, I also recognize that therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Our work together will be tailored to your experiences, needs, and goals. A little about me personally: I'm a Southern California native who has made the Pacific Northwest home. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, camping, and enjoying the water. I believe in the importance of balancing life's responsibilities with moments of laughter, connection, and rest.
