I feel her commitment to fostering what is healthy in me and healing what is not - physically, emotionally, spiritually. She's unflinchingly honest and unfailingly compassionate. She offers an intuitive understanding of group processes, holding a group in such a way that those in it feel safe to be vulnerable and authentic, and more committed to the welfare of all. I always sense a shift in how I experience my life when I have been with Dr. Zucker -some new understanding, holding some problem more lightly, seeing my way more clearly. She indeed helps me feel more vital!

I'm 28 yeas old, and I moved up to Bellingham around a year ago and had been meaning to find a…read morecounselor in the area to help me undergo my transition now that I am settled in. I was blindly (and honestly, hopelessly) searching online for a queer-/trans-friendly therapist who would possibly be able to assist me on this journey, as I had left my old therapist in L.A. before I had finally come to the conclusion that I wanted to begin to physically transition (hormones/gender affirming surgery). I saw Claire's counseling profile and emailed her right away. She responded that day and we set up a time to meet. Claire and I quickly built a strong and trustworthy rapport (very important in choosing a counselor!) and she listened to what I wanted to get out of counseling. I have high expectations for a counselor/therapist and Claire exceeded all of them, even going out of her way to accomodate my needs. She is very open-minded and respected my knowledge about my own mind and body and what I was choosing to do with it. I have left several therapists in the past because I have felt that they could not relate to me or they just didn't "get it" and were being overtly judgmental (which just made me feel even worse and more ostracized), so I was over the moon when I realized that Claire definitely "got" me and I didn't feel like I had to explain my feelings to someone who would never understand them. I would particularly recommend Claire to trans/queer individuals in Bellingham/Whatcom/Skagit and beyond who are looking for a counselor who is rad, relatable, understanding, kind, professional and organized, super compassionate (as well as passionate), non-judgmental, and educated on trans issues. I was immediately struck by her desire to help me in whatever way she could and I can just tell that she is that way with all of her clients!

She truly cares about the people she helps and has always been a great resource for me and my friends and family when I need a referral or advise. When I moved to Seattle I tried other therapists but never found one that was right. I learned there are many different styles of therapy and what works for one person does not always work for everyone. I eventually concluded the commute was worth it and eventually moved back. I think Kate is amazing and a wonderful person! And clearly so do many other people as she is fully booked. So if you can get in to see her, do. She may or may not be right for you, but I know she would help you find the right fit if it doesn't work.

I contacted "Bayside Therapy" (if that is even their real name), because well, I need some therapy…read more When trying to find a counselor that was accepting new patients I was bounced around between two, who both had listed that they were taking patients, but neither of them wanted a new one. I got a bit irked, by the fact that they both were available, but not available, and I gave up on those two. I investigate Bayside Therapy further at this point and find that they don't even have a location in Bellingham. If you google some of the therapist snames you find, what I think, is the real company name they all work for, "Mindful Therapy Group" which is based in Seattle and has a number of locations listed. This seems a little deceitful to me that they would advertise as a company in Bellingham. It is definitely not the way I would want to start a counseling relationship behind such dishonesty.

Basically, he knows his stuff...and I can easily recommend him to everyone who looks for Holistic health services (and if you've never given acupuncture a try before - after 20 years I can whole heartedly recommend it :-) The setting of King Health overlooking the marina is serene and relaxing and you feel 'Bellingham Healthy' already before you enter... The facility provides multiple types of health care therapist and is well designed and decorated, clean and relaxing. A safe haven to be helped by caring professionals. They have an online booking system which is pretty important for most of us who seem to only find time after hours to take care of such things... Rates are reasonable and they will bill your health insurance for you...so what's not to like eh?

They GENUINELY wish to see you succeed and will bend over backwards to assist you in your recovery goals. Many of the counselors have already been through what YOU are going through and so understand how difficult it is to succeed and stay on the right path. Some have YEARS of experience helping people overcome their addiction, and the office staff are also well educated. Once you have been stabilized on the methadone, you can easily get through your day without USING, which should be your goal. The longer you stay clean, the less time you have to come in for your dose. You are rewarded for your hard work and success. I recommend this site to ANYONE who is serious about their addiction.
