About Bruce Hall

Welcome! I am a mental health counselor licensed in Washington State. I’ve worked with adult clients for over 10 years, in private practice and other clinical settings (agencies, medical clinics). I often work with client concerns of anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and grief and loss. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy: the idea that our feelings and actions are driven by our thoughts.

When we become overwhelmed, we can lose sight of our own sense of self; therapy is an opportunity to gain perspective about you and your world. Our work together will be about identifying your struggles, strengths, and goals; then applying solutions that are useful and practical to you.

You already possess a wisdom about yourself that will make itself known in our sessions. I encourage you to be curious; it’s the most immediate path to success!

“Bruce has been very helpful. I have had so many challenging things recently pop up that have been a struggle. As well as some items that have required time and tools to better identify how to face them. Bruce has been able to help me better than I even hoped going into this process. He has been extremely patient, supportive, and very easy to communicate with. I appreciate his help immensely.”
