Jonathan Aderhold
LMHC • Licensed Mental Health Counselor
About
Feeling heard and understood is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. Jonathan Aderhold, LMHC, has made it his mission to help couples achieve this crucial element in their partnerships. With a keen understanding of relationship dynamics, Jonathan specializes in guiding couples towards open, honest communication while skillfully navigating the treacherous waters of criticism and defensiveness.
Jonathan's approach to couples therapy is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices. He draws heavily from Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, two highly respected and researched approaches in the field of relationship counseling. This foundation allows him to offer couples a structured, effective path towards rebuilding connection and fostering emotional intimacy.
In addition to his work with couples, Jonathan's expertise extends to individual counseling, where he addresses a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, religious trauma, and faith transitions. His diverse skill set enables him to provide comprehensive support, whether working with individuals, couples, or families.
Jonathan's services include pre-marital counseling, couples counseling, and individual therapy. He is particularly adept at helping couples prepare for marriage, navigate the challenges of parenthood (including support for new and expectant parents), and address concerns or differences regarding faith, spirituality, and religion. His approach also incorporates elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and existential therapy, allowing him to tailor his methods to each client's unique needs and circumstances.
As a Washington State Supervisor in training, Jonathan not only helps his clients but also contributes to the development of future therapists. This role speaks to his commitment to the field of mental health and his dedication to expanding access to quality therapeutic services. Clients working with Jonathan can expect a warm, empathetic approach combined with practical, research-backed strategies to foster growth and healing in their relationships and personal lives.
