About Mary
Mary "Jane" Poulson is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience in behavioral health. She uses a practical, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Jane aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative conversation rather than a lecture.
Jane earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University after completing undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of Oregon. She has been a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor since the early 2000s and holds the National Certified Counselor credential. These credentials reflect long experience in clinical settings.
Her sessions often mix client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. She teaches mindfulness skills to reduce symptoms and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior skills and motivational interviewing when they fit the person’s needs.
Jane works with adults who are coping with life changes, grief, parenting challenges, relationship or communication problems, chronic pain or medical issues, workplace stress, and concerns tied to mood and attention. She also supports people facing issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.
Her manner is interactive and educational. Expect practical tools, short exercises, and space to talk through feelings and choices. To begin, visitors are invited to use the Start Therapy flow and complete the questionnaire to be matched and scheduled.
