Hi I’m Jami Visaya

I’m a Relational Therapist in Washington State who believes ‘Healing Happens, one conversation at a time’.

I support individuals, partners, and families who are struggling with mental, emotional and social issues. Many of my clients seek therapy because they are dealing with relationship problems, anxiety, depression, stress, identity issues, and other challenges of life. Some clients are working to heal from trauma and emotional abuse and want to feel ‘normal’ again.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

You don’t have to carry it all on your own.

I work with clients (13 +). I help them reconnect with themselves, heal past wounds, and rediscover their purpose and passion for life. Human beings are social by nature. We thrive when we’re surrounded by authentic love and support.

I believe everyone deserves to feel good and live authentically. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and focused on helping you build healthy, fulfilling relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself.

Stronger together - when we stand whole on our own.

Wholeness within leads to strength between.

Being here does not mean you’re weak.

It means you’re strong! Brave enough to seek growth.

I believe that true connection begins within.

Whole individuals that come together create something stronger, when compared to individuals which rely on each other to feel complete. When we heal ourselves first, our relationships become more resilient, more authentic, and more fulfilling.

I am here to help — one conversation at a time.

PLEASE HEAR ME WHEN I SAY…

Therapy with me is…

  • Like droplets of rain, each person is unique. Healing is a journey that takes time, and therapy should reflect your pace, goals, and personality.

    At Vibrant Life Counseling, I tailor strategies to fit your needs and let your motivation guide the process.

    A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. I strive to create a space of trust, safety, and connection—so you feel supported as we navigate the hard and hopeful parts of your story.

  • Therapy with me is honest, respectful, and real. Because how can we find our authentic selves if we’re not first honest—with ourselves, with what we truly want, believe, and feel?

    Your healing journey is unique. I tailor therapy to your goals, needs, and pace, using approaches that reflect who YOU are.

    I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported—so you can do the hard work of healing and the brave work of becoming more fully you.

  • Privacy & Discretion

    Your sessions are private and confidential. Whether in person or online, I use secure, protected spaces and follow strict confidentiality guidelines. If you prefer the highest level of discretion—such as minimizing insurance use or paperwork—please let me know so we can discuss options that best protect your privacy.

  • During our time together, you’ll learn many valuable skills like healthy communication, managing emotions, setting boundaries, and practicing self-acceptance & compassion. These tools will continue to support your emotional growth into the future.
