Meet the Founder of Vibrant Life Counseling
Bellevue, WA
“Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling and new adventures. Wearing many hats, as a professional, mother, educator, and advocate - has strengthened my belief that healing and growth happen through connection with ourselves, our relationships, and our communities.
— Jami Visaya, LMFT, LMHC
Thank you for being here. I’m passionate about relational therapy, helping clients slow things down, notice unhelpful patterns, and find new ways to communicate and connect. I believe that with greater understanding and care, relationships can be more balanced, meaningful, and alive - opening doors to a more Vibrant, and fulfilling life.
— Jami Visaya, LMFT, LMHC
