Who?
Casey's Club™ invites all kids to join our us to learn great social and emotional skills. The lessons are beneficial to everybody. Our clubs are therapeutic groups that always have 2 mental health counselors as facilitators and we only allow up to 10 club members. The only requirement is that club members are self-contained and able to sit in a group for a half an hour. Take a moment and read about our facilitators.
Facilitator 1:
My name is Maria Klots, and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in Washington State. I received a Master of Art in Counseling Psychology from Bastyr University that emphasizes whole-person wellness and healing. Before starting my practice, I worked at a community college assisting students of all ages in choosing new careers and learning the skills needed to navigate the complexity of college life. I have worked with adults, youth, children, parents, and families my entire professional career in one way or the other and I strongly believe in a human capacity to heal and grow.
My therapeutic approach is a combination of Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Play Therapy. I see myself as a guide and fellow traveler along with my clients, rather than as the expert on their lives or experiences. I believe that we are all concerned in some way with having meaning in our lives, relationships, and our work, and deeply invested in making more satisfying choices.
Outside of session, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking with my dogs, swimming, biking, and engaging in meaningful and deep connections. I truly believe in the healing power of nature and the human capacity to change and grow.

In addition to school counseling, Jayme was director of an extended school year program for a satellite campus of Seattle Children’s Hospital. This program served students with Autism and ASD. She also worked with individual children on at-home programs with the goal of increasing social and life skill behaviors. Jayme maintains a passion for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) children and parents of ASD children.
Jayme has an incredible thirst for improving her professional learning and enhancing her practice. Finding and creating new ways to model useful and creative strategies to support children is her inspiration. She graduated from Seattle University with her master’s degree in school counseling.

She currently holds her Mental Health Associates License and is completing her licensing requirements for LMHC. She is also working to complete her doctoral program in counseling and trauma.
