Hi! My name is Lea Fairbanks, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes in empowering individuals to live in deeper connection with themselves, others and the world. I graduated from Central Washington University with my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling. I was drawn to this field of work through my own personal experiences with mental health and my deep passion and care for others. After graduating I spent two years working at a long-term inpatient facility for women in recovery from drugs and alcohol. While there I learned about the resilience of the human spirit, I believe that if we are open and willing to try we are capable of anything. I utilize the power of curiosity as a tool to get to know and connect deeper with you. I am eager to learn about you and to help guide you towards connecting more deeply with yourself. I have a trauma lens and believe that we must understand, explore and process the things that we carry with us so that we may break free and live more fully. I also believe that all therapy work is grief work, with change comes loss. Therefore I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, held and empowered.
