DR. JEFFREY BATSTONE, EDD LHMC

I am most concerned with helping you break free from patterns that have held you small, held you back, that at one time kept you safe, but now no longer serve you. If you’re struggling right now, I believe your heart and soul are trying to grow and evolve into your fullest, truest self. I believe we can continue to deepen and grow in profound ways all throughout life, and I’d love to help you as you journey.

As a relational psychotherapist, I help people process trauma and heal abusive patterns, deepen awareness of their unique identities, and restore them to the relationships that matter most.  I work with men, women, and couples and believe the strongest remedy for growth and healing is a wildly kind and gentle approach.  

I specialize in spiritual and sexual issues, and focus a portion of my practice on men’s work. I approach therapy with the understanding that Western culture is deeply unwell and boasts of addictive relationships with sex, spirituality, substances, relationships, power and money. These are normalized and are the waters we swim in without knowing it, and we need the aid of one another to help us understand where and how we’re living.      

I help people who have experienced sexual and/or spiritual abuse and those who have unwanted adult patterns of behavior and those generally looking for deeper satisfaction in their life.   

I received my master's education at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2010 and my doctorate in counseling psychology at Argosy University Seattle in 2019.  For the past two decades, I’ve worked in private practice with Waterways Psychotherapy, with Illuman of WA “awakening men to their belovedness so they might love the world”, serving in the Episcopal Church, and I’m a founding faculty member of Iron and Fire Leadership Institute. Above all I am husband and father to my wife and three children.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State and a life coach practicing in person and online.  My office is a short walk from the Bremerton ferry dock or just a few clicks away. I hope you reach out.
