Nathan Ainley, MS, LMHC, CMHS

Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Child Mental Health Specialist
(509) 203-7729 nathana@spokanechristiancounseling.com

I specialize in helping teens and adult individuals and couples find healing and move toward recovery from a variety of mental health issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, and challenges with grief and loss, as well as conflict in relationships. Reaching out for help when you're struggling is one of the bravest things you can do, and the first step in finding true healing. Life is full of surprises which can sometimes seem impossible to overcome. However, with God’s help, proper guidance, and some hard work, the road ahead can look much brighter.
