Learn Morewhy do i feel this way?
If you have been through trauma or abuse, you need a counselor who specializes.
Whether it was emotional abuse in childhood or your marriage, a car accident, or a sexual assault - it has left a residue you can't seem to shake. A messed-up narrative about your worth. Affecting how you act and feel - your sleep, relationships and work, to name a few. Maybe you keep thinking "it was my fault" or "I wasn't worth protecting" Does the message "I should just get over it" ring a bell? If only getting over it was easy. Traumatic memories become lodged in the nervous system and subconscious mind. These mental pictures or negative feelings and beliefs can change how we interact with ourselves, our loved ones, and the world. They make it much harder for you to live your best life. They're in your way.
I will collaborate with you to help you free yourself of that tired old narrative, the one that repeats you're not good enough. Because you are good enough. And you deserve better.
I am trained in both talk therapy and EMDR.
I use a unique blend of talk therapy and EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This is a world-renowned well researched psychotherapy that engages the mind and body to help you process negative beliefs and narratives.
While CBT can help you understand how negative thoughts and beliefs are impacting your life and give you a plan to change them over time, EMDR actually processes them out of your mind and body (nervous system) during the session. Many clients begin to feel better soon after beginning therapy. There is no guarantee as to how long the processing will take, and every case is different. When you and I first meet, we will create a treatment plan and schedule for how often you will need to attend therapy and which trauma targets you will together begin addressing first.
Many people experience life-changing breakthroughs with EMDR. Sometimes people can be in talk therapy for several years and feel relief and support but not see the deep changes they are longing for in life. Everyone deserves a chance for deep healing and positive change. Just imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have to deal with PTSD symptoms.
Everyone needs a place where the words and tears can flow without judgment. I care about the pain your are in - and your healing is important to me.

About Grace & Hope Counseling PLLC
Hello, my name is Robyn Crout and I am a licensed clinical social worker at Grace & Hope Counseling PLLC. I have worked with hundreds of clients including children, teens, adults, and families for the past 8 years in the field of mental health. I began my career as a mental health counselor intern at HopeSparks in Tacoma. After earning my MSW, I worked for three years at as a therapist in Adult Services for a community mental health clinic in Tacoma. I am trained in CBT, DBT, trauma focused CBT, and EMDR. I opened my private practice in 2020 where I specialize in helping clients heal from emotional trauma. My practice is now Grace & Hope Counseling PLLC, a practice designed to provide Christian faith based counseling to the community.
I have a passion for combining creativity (art, writing and music) with personal healing. I enjoy helping clients break through old patterns and beliefs that have been holding them back for months or years. I love seeing people laugh again, regain hope, and discover that their lives are special and each person has a unique place in our world.
My faith in Jesus Christ is a guiding force in my life. I enjoy working with clients of all faiths as well as those who do not practice any faith. I will meet you where you are in your own personal journey. I hope you will consider giving therapy a try. I am a firm believer that it can change lives.
Contact me today at (253) 338-5343 to schedule your 15 minute FREE consultation.

Payment for services
Payment Options: TRICARE, Out of Pocket, and Superbilling
It is hard to put a price tag on feeling better. Therapy can be a solid investment in your well-being. There are some costs associated with therapy. I do not bill most insurances, except Tricare as an out-of-network provider (With Tricare Prime, (typically no copay) you will need an authorization from your PCM. Tricare Select can self-refer but there may be a small copay. Please check with Tricare regarding your policy).
For those with other insurance besides Tricare, please ask your insurance company Claims Dept if they will reimburse your mental health visits. I will provide you with a monthly Superbill if requested. This document can potentially help you obtain some reimbursement from your medical insurance company. Call them and ask about it!
Payment is required at the time of service. I accept cash, checks, credit or debit cards including HSA debit cards. Please call for current rates.
More About Insurance...
I feel it is wise to be an informed consumer. Please carefully consider all your options. Here is some information you may want to think about:
*When you use insurance to pay for your mental health services, you may be limited in the amount of sessions your insurance will cover. When you pay privately, you can have as many or as few sessions as you want. It's a good idea to discuss it with your therapist and come up with a plan.
* There is no need for a doctor visit or jumping through hoops to get an authorization when you pay privately. You just make an appointment and show up.
* Therapists who bill insurance are required to provide a diagnosis code on the statement. A diagnosis is a label that is stored in your health record and can be shared among insurance bureaus. This could potentially have an affect on your ability to purchase certain types of insurance in the future. When you pay privately, your sensitive information does not need to be shared with insurance bureaus.
Confidentiality is essential in mental health therapy. (The limitations to confidentiality are discussed with each client prior to beginning therapy and questions are encouraged.) It is worthwhile to consider seeing a therapist who accepts private pay. Many people have found therapy to be a valuable and wise investment in their mental health.
Good Faith Estimate
A Good Faith Estimate will be provided at your appointment. It explains how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers will give patients not using insurance an estimate of the cost for medical items and services.
• Your Good Faith Estimate will indicate the expected cost of your non-emergency items or services.
• Health care providers are responsible for providing you with a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
