ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my practice! I'm Jami Sweeney, M.Ed, MA, LMHCA, a licensed mental ​health counselor with a focus on children and adolescents. My counseling approach is ​grounded in evidence-based treatments (more details on the Treatment Approaches page).

As a mental health counselor, my role encompasses assessing, diagnosing, treating, and ​preventing mental health issues, along with advocating for my clients' access to opportunities ​and fulfillment. Beyond focusing solely on mental health, my approach incorporates elements ​from my progressive educational background and Comprehensive Sexuality Education training. ​This involves a developmental perspective, with significant emphasis on relational and executive ​functioning skills.

My qualifications include an M.Ed in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of ​Kansas, an MA in Child and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Washington, and ​certifications in primary, elementary, adolescent, and administrative education from the ​Association Montessori Internationale. Additionally, I'm certified to teach Comprehensive ​Sexuality Education at all levels. My practical experience includes an internship at Youth Eastside ​Services in Bellevue, WA, and work in Bellevue and Lake Washington school districts. I'm also a ​member of the Washington Mental Health Counselor Association and the American ​Psychological Association.

Outside work, I find inspiration in spending time with family and friends, exploring the natural ​wonders of the Pacific Northwest. Enjoying live music, comedy, theater, and great food also ​brings me immense joy!
