About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, mood issues, and self esteem challenges. Jorie takes a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to make therapy understandable and usable for day-to-day life.
She began her career in social services, working in therapeutic group homes, the juvenile justice system, community mental health, and independent practice. Those varied roles shaped a flexible way of working that fits different life situations. Jorie believes life experiences form the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and she helps clients look at those narratives with fresh eyes.
In sessions she uses a collaborative, client-centered style. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and finding new coping skills. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shape clear, time-limited goals and practical steps toward them.
Jorie also incorporates attachment-focused and emotionally aware methods to address how people connect with others. That can help with intimacy, communication problems, codependency, and family of origin issues. She supports people through grief, trauma, postpartum changes, and life transitions.
Her background includes a BA in psychology, a MA in child, couple, and family therapy, and an MBA in healthcare management. As an LMFT in Washington, she brings a mix of community and clinical experience to help people find workable solutions for common life struggles.
