Welcome to Seadrift Counseling, LLC

My name is Debbie Licker, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in WA state, with offices in Marysville and Mt. Vernon.  

I enjoy working with adults, couples and families (children age 13 and older), and

work primarily (but not exclusively)  with Psychodynamic and Attachment theories. This translates into broadening a client's self awareness and understanding of how past experiences and early years of bonding with others impacts our current life.

I love my vocation, and getting to know each client, so I'll also adapt my work to a person's particular needs and goals. For the client, counseling requires a  willingness to change, but can be deeply rewarding. I'll be kind and honest as you work towards validating your self, and making necessary changes for a more satisfying life.

I'm a steadfast advocate of justice and good things, such as respect, compassion  and responsibility, and offer my clients a safe and trusting place to discuss their life challenges. I graduated in 2014 from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, with my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology.

a bit about me...

I grew up in the beauty of Hawaii, and love and respect the outdoors and all God has created.  I'm married, a mother, and have navigated the challenges of blending a bio/step family.  In my spare time, I love to read and learn, hike, eat, travel, exercise, enjoy movies, and spend quality time with family and friends. 

It's my goal to offer clients a holistic approach to health that will improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being, so you hopefully can feel better.

Together, we'll explore thoughts and emotions, create clearer understanding, and seek what these discoveries mean. Practical strategies and solutions may enhance confidence and lessen stress.  Most of my clients seek counseling for the  following reasons, and these are categories I work with:

• anxiety/depression/PTSD symptoms (fear, feeling hopeless)
• relationship issues
• identity and self esteem 
• family difficulties/step family issues
• feeling confused or having to make life altering decisions 
• communication problems
• addictive behavior (I don't work with severe substance use issues)
• loss, grief, trauma
• women's issues

Except where required by law, our sessions are private and confidential (this will be discussed in person at first session)

NOTE: I have a professional biller for all my insurance processing. If you chose to contact me, I'll always inform potential clients that they must contact my biller to verify their insurance plan prior to first session. I recommend also contacting your insurance company  to confirm coverage. It is always the clients responsibility to understand their specific coverage, and PMB nor Debbie Licker, are held liable for changes in insurance coverage. Co-pays/payment due at start of session.

Last things... If you're anxious about starting counseling, it's fine and quite normal. My protocol is to call potential clients and converse via phone, as a pre-screen for a suitable fit. After a few sessions, you should feel somewhat comfortable with whomever you choose to counsel with....
