Palouse Counseling and Consulting is a Professional Limited Liability Company owned and managed by Laurie Heikkenen and Ed Taylor. Ed and Laurie hold between them over 30 years experience providing and managing social services. Palouse Counseling offers business consulting, counseling, case management, family services, employee assistance, personal coaching, and a range of other human services for several populations.

In Walla Walla, Palouse Counseling and Consulting strives to be a one-stop shop for human services. If we can't help someone, we try tohelp them find the help they need. Our intent is to help people to be successful persons by identifying and building on their strengths. The owners provide a fixed point of accountability, allowing Palouse Counseling and Consulting to respond quickly, efficiently, and effectively to individual and community needs. Relationships based on human dignity, kindness and compassion are the basis of our operation.

How Palouse Counseling and Consulting is different and successful:


-- A single point of accountability is defined by individual ownership

-- We are relatively free of governmental politics and restrictions

-- The owners are respected experts in their field and members of the community

-- Our decision-making process is swift. We can make decisions and respond to community need nearly instantly.

-- Unlike independent private practitioners, we are able and willing to hire a diverse staff, making a variety of marketable services available.

-- A for-profit structure ensures long-term stability, as profits are fed back into the organization.

-- Services are tailored very specifically to the needs of the community.


Specific things Palouse Counseling does differently:


-- We don't say "can't."
-- We don't turn anyone away.
-- If we can't help someone, we help them find help.
-- We hire the best people we can find, point them in the right direction, and get out of their way.
-- We reward employee creativity and success and coach, teach, and encourage as needed.
-- We look for possiblities and opportunities in every situation.
-- We think "outside the box" and encourage nontraditional resolutions to human problems.

Current contracts held by Palouse Counseling include:

-- Professional Services, Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS)

We constantly hear from our clients and their referral sources:

"I've been all over, but no one has really paid attention to what I said before you. You really helped me!"
