Meet Jann

Hello! I’m Jann

MA, LMHC, CCHt

I was raised in a family of emotional dysfunction and alcohol abuse that led me down a path of attracting mates that continued to test my resiliency and resolve. Over the years, I divorced twice and was working two jobs while being a single mom, and going to school to learn Psychology and the human condition.  My personal life helped me understand how my experiences molded me to be more compassionate and effective as a mental health counselor.  The tools and techniques in the Being Zone System and my hypnotherapy training have been essential in helping me and my clients heal from our own Adverse Childhood Experiences and to find our own inner strength and wisdom.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and have had a private practice in Everett, WA for 6 years.  I have a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Washington, a Masters in Psychology from Antioch University, Seattle, and Hypnotherapy certifications from Edmonds Hypnotherapy and Mary Lee Labay PhD

I worked for many years in the homeless sector of Seattle, WA as a Mental Health Outreach Worker, visiting homeless shelters to provide mental health counseling services to homeless women and their families.

During this time, I became keenly aware of the impact of trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), as every client had a story of adversity that led to a multitude of chronic homelessness, mental health, domestic violence, chemical dependency, self-sabotage, destructive behaviors, relationship dysfunction and/or other debilitating issues.

My empathic and compassionate nature has led my clients to trust the process of healing and I began to use hypnotherapy as a tool for healing the trauma wounds. Working with trauma requires patience and understanding, as the unveiling of the layers of traumatic events requires time for healing. Over the years, I learned to navigate often complex trauma to arrive at long term solutions with my clients. In providing solid and sustainable healing modalities for both myself and my clients, I fulfill my purpose of supporting others by helping them elevate their lives to be healthy and for them to be able to live from a place of purpose just as I have learned to do.

You can make an appointment with me by texting or calling 425.346.1244 and leaving a message or emailing me at jann_finley@yahoo.com and I will return your call or email as soon as I am able.
