Jorie Wehrell, LMFT

Jorie Wehrell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, depression, addiction concerns, and issues like codependency. She also addresses attachment issues, family of origin problems, grief, intimacy concerns, and women's health matters such as postpartum experiences.

She began her career in social services and has practiced across therapeutic group homes, the juvenile justice system, community mental health, and private practice. Those roles shaped a practical approach to everyday problems and to how relationships influence mental health. She believes people make sense of the world through their personal stories, and those stories often affect how problems get solved.

In sessions she helps clients look at past patterns and current behaviors to find new coping skills. She uses collaborative, client-centered work that is active and goal-oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for setting concrete goals and working in a time-limited way.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concepts inform work around closeness, communication, and rebuilding trust in intimate relationships. Motivational Interviewing can be used when clients face change or ambivalence.

Her background includes a BA in Psychology, an MA in Child, Couple, and Family Therapy, and an MBA in Healthcare Management. Jorie holds the WA LMFT credential and describes her role as supporting people to understand patterns and try different ways of responding.
