Grief counselors and therapists in Idaho

I'm a therapist with a commitment to supporting you and your mental and emotional well-being. I have experience working with clients going through crisis, life transitions, relationship struggles, and family discord. I am certified in Creative Arts Therapy and Disaster and Collective Trauma Therapy.

I offer specialized treatment to address anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and insomnia. I have over 20 years experience in the field, and have been licensed since 2007 as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I completed a Master's Degree in counseling with a focus in Marriage, Family and Child therapy. I have a certification to treat insomnia with CBT-I, and have completed level 1 certification in the Gottman method.

I have spent my entire career spanning nearly three decades, dedicated to social work. I have worked during my undergrad in the medical field in such areas as hospice, home, health, rehabilitation, hospital, cancer center, and geriatric phycology.

Later, I earned my master's in trauma and mental health for Denver University. I now have been in a practice of mental health counseling for the last five years.

My name is Ben Zinke and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the States of Idaho and California. I graduated from Loma Linda University with a master in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2006 and a PhD in Family Studies in 2012. I also have work experience as a mediator, a college professor and a financial coach which tends to provide perspective in therapy.

I am passionate about brain and mental health. Over the years, I have built the belief that strong mental health is foundational to a successful, fulfilling life. However, I have also found there are no cookie-cutter solutions given the complexities of the human experience, thus inspiring a passion for a thorough, thoughtful, and individualized approach to brain and mental health. I earned a bachelor degree in nursing and in psychology, and a master's degree in psychiatric mental health.

Hello, I am accepting new clients. I work with teens, adults, and elders with a focus on chronic health conditions, illness, grief and loss. Reaching out for support takes real courage, and I want to honor that first step. People come to therapy for so many reasons—sometimes because they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone; other times because relationships feel hard, or anxiety and depression are getting in the way of daily life. Whatever has brought you here, you’ll be met with warmth, empathy, and genuine care.

If you’ve found your way here, you’ve taken a brave step toward healing—and you’ve found a safe space to grow, reflect, and learn to love your life again.

My name is Charice, and I’m a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. It brings me deep joy to work with individuals who are searching for someone to walk alongside them—to empower, validate, and amplify their voice. I believe therapy is a marathon, not a sprint. Healing isn’t instantaneous—it’s a process, a shared commitment between you and me to explore what works best for you.

I earned my Master of Science in Counseling from Eastern Washington University (Go Eags!) and have had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings, including college counseling centers and community mental health organizations. These experiences have given me a wide lens on the many ways people experience pain—and more importantly, the incredible capacity we each have to heal.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully seen and supported.
