Counselor

Bellevue Family Counseling welcomes Erin Manhardt to its team of specialized counselors. Erin
will be responsible for working with teens seeking help and support for anxiety, depression, suicidal
ideation, social stressors, relationships and other common challenges teens face.

Bellevue, WA, June 26, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Bellevue Family Counseling is privileged to welcome Erin
Manhardt to its team of specialized counselors. She will be responsible for working with teens seeking
help and support for anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, social stressors, relationships and other
common teen struggles.

Ms. Manhardt joins the Bellevue Family Counseling team from Navos Mental Health in Burien
Washington where she worked in a residential treatment program providing individual, family and group
therapy. Her work in intensive treatment environment makes her an effective counselor for tackling many
stressors teens face. Ms. Manhardt earned her master's from Western Washington University in
Bellingham, Washington.

“I'm very excited to bring my experience and education to Bellevue Family Counseling and support teens
as they grow through such a difficult time in life,” Ms. Manhardt says. “I believe in the Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model and look forward to using it to help teens better problem solve and
manage the complexity of modern life.”

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based therapy that assumes that many of the problems
exhibited by clients are caused by skills deficits. In particular, the failure to use effective behavior when it
is needed is often a result of not knowing skillful behavior or when or how to use it. DBT has been found
to be effective for a wide variety of mental health conditions including Suicidal and self-harming
behavior, substance use disorder, self-harming, ADHD, PTSD, major depression and more.

“We are very thrilled to welcome Erin Manhardt to our team. Erin's experience working in a residential
program means she's excellent at quickly connecting with her clients and building the necessary trust to
do the work of therapy,” Leah Koenig, lead child and teen therapist and co-owner of Bellevue Family
Counseling states. “Erin brings solid skills in DBT and other therapies that allow her to guide her clients
to creating their best self. She's an asset to our team.”

Bellevue Family Counseling is a private practice counseling group located in Bellevue Washington
founded in 2008 by Marlon Familton and Leah Koenig. They offer one-to-one counseling for adults,
couples, teens, children and parent coaching. Licensed providers use evidence-based therapies to help
