Everett, WA, is the home of Breakwater Counseling and Coaching Services. I am Sarah Griffin MA LMHC CDPT , Director and Owner of Breakwater Counseling and Coaching Services. Sarah Griffin and Eli Bolton MA LMHCA offer counseling services for individuals, families and couples. 

One of our mottos is, “By unraveling the circular nature of relationships and facilitating healing and positive change, we can create change in the couple or family.” At Breakwater Counseling and Coaching Services, we understand that the decision to seek counseling and treatment, for either you or a loved one, is not a decision that is made lightly. Many of us have a tendency to try to ignore emotional and psychological challenges, in hopes that they will improve on their own. Unfortunately, in many cases, time alone is not enough. For these individuals, their condition may become more pronounced and lead to other difficulties. If this scenario sounds familiar, it may be time to consider counseling. For the majority of people, effective counseling by Breakwater Counseling and Coaching Services will lead to improved attitudes, behavior and overall quality of life. 

We can assist with life coaching, communication, intimacy, self-esteem, parenting, sexuality issues, conflict managing of differences, advanced recovery services, premarital and family counseling. Online counseling will be available in the future.  

We answer couples questions every week. What’s yours?  Send Us an Email.

WHAT TO ASK Sometimes the most difficult part of therapy is picking up the phone to make that first call. What will I say? What will they be like? What questions should I be asking them as I call? The following are ideas to consider as you begin your research. Experience. Are they licensed? How many years have they been doing what they do? In what capacity? How long have they been in private practice?Specialty/ Modality. What is the counselor’s specialty? Have they worked with an issue like yours before?Education. At what schools were they educated? What was the focus of the program? (E.g., marital therapy, family systems, social work, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, etc.) Where did they do their clinical internship?How well do you interact with the counselor? Do you feel safe? Feelings of discomfort are to be expected especially when you are looking at difficult issues, but you should feel cared about and safe throughout the therapy process.Personal Work. Why are they working in this profession? This answer will vary dramatically among degrees as well as within degrees. What personal work has the therapist done? (E.g., therapy, 12- step work, group work, etc.) For how long?Fees. How much do they charge? Do they work on a sliding fee scale? Do they take insurance (many insurance companies do not cover couple or family therapy)? If so, do they accept your insurance carrier?
