Getting to know Jeffrey Babcock
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with over 18 years of professional experience. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling from Western Seminary, Portland Campus (1999). My counseling experience spans social service agencies and private practice.
In addition to my counseling work, I am employed as a Program Consultant with the Washington Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). If you have an open CPS case or are an active foster parent with DCYF, I am unable to serve you due to a conflict of interest.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, transitions, relationship issues, family conflict, job & parenting issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths in order to overcome what challenges you. As a Christian who does therapy, my approach is both clinical and respectful, honoring your own personal beliefs and values. You ultimately choose what changes you want to make, if any, you want to make.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I look forward to supporting you in your journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
