For the past few years, Darcy worked in Massachusetts as a clinician specializing in eating disorders. She provided individual therapy, care coordination, and facilitated art therapy groups, including Body Neutrality, Parent/Caregiver, and Let’s Talk About It (for male-identifying clients).

Darcy chose to relocate to the Northwest, where she had lived over a decade ago. After her youngest child left for college, she decided to return to the region. She was drawn to JHC because the position offered a full-circle experience, having started her career as an art therapist working for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Darcy is committed to being a part of the North Olympic community and values JHC’s dedication to excellence and the well-being of both clients and their caregivers.

Darcy specializes in art therapy, eating disorders/disordered eating, pre- and post-natal issues including parent/baby bonding, and relationship issues. She also treats anxiety, depression, ADHD, TBI, and trauma. Darcy employs a client-centered, trauma-informed, eclectic approach, incorporating CBT, narrative, systems, and developmental theories and methods of psychotherapy.

When she’s not at work, Darcy enjoys spending time outside with her dog, friends, and family hiking, running, dancing, cycling and gardening.

Kris was born in Seattle and grew up camping and hiking on the Olympic Peninsula. After raising her son, she started imagining herself living in this outdoor wonderland and began exploring career opportunities. She moved to Port Angeles in 2016, and now has settled in Sequim in a lovely farmhouse with her two dogs and two cats. She has been a mental health therapist for four decades and has worked in community mental health, primary care clinics, and in private practice. She works with people of all ages specializing in the treatment of trauma, eating disorders, grief and loss, and is also a child mental health specialist. She is delighted to have the opportunity to work at the Jamestown Family Health Clinic with its amazing reputation for high standards of care, professionalism, and commitment to the larger community. Outside of work she is usually outside exploring with her dogs, enjoying music at one of the local venues, or sharing a meal with friends.

Lorena was born and raised in Guatemala, Central America. She moved to the U.S in 2003 and she has lived in Sequim for almost 10 years. Lorena is married with two sons ages 17 and 7. She received her master’s degree of social work from Eastern Washington University in 2012. She has been licensed as an independent clinical social worker since 2019. Prior to coming to Jamestown Family Clinic, she worked at Jefferson Healthcare Hospital as a medical social worker for almost 5 years. Although she enjoyed working at the hospital, the commute became too much, so she opted to accept a job in town. Lorena feels fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest because it gives her the opportunity to explore awesome places with my family.
