Kenneth (Ken) Halvorson is a Washington-based therapist with 40 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. He holds an MSW, a Master of Social Work, and an LICSW, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, credentials that reflect advanced training and authorization to provide clinical social work. Over four decades he has worked with individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the stresses of life transitions.

Ken pays particular attention to relationship and family dynamics, offering support for couples, blended families, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and family-of-origin wounds. He also works with men’s issues, social anxiety, young adults, aging and geriatric concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties, helping clients develop practical coping strategies and stronger interpersonal skills. Drawing from a Christian perspective, he provides faith-informed guidance for those who want it, while respecting preferences for other faith backgrounds or no faith at all.

Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, Ken helps people strengthen resilience, improve communication, address forgiveness and reconciliation, and find renewed hope during difficult transitions. He emphasizes collaboration and clear strategies to support lasting change and healthier relationships.
