Later life can be a particularly difficult time with multiple major life changes and transitions, losses, declining health and ability, and other issues. Likewise, those who provide care to aging loved ones or clients may face their own difficulty adjusting to life transitions, caregiver fatigue and burnout, or loss of identity and social connections. You may feel emotionally distant, numb, sad, stressed, anxious, depressed, etc. Regardless of you're specific situation and goals, you're taking a positive step by reaching out for help. I'm happy that you're here!

If you would like support while addressing: current stressors, pains, trauma, struggles, transitions, communication needs, healing from relationships, or identity I can help guide you within your own journey to ease these feelings for you and develop fulfilling coping skills. I am also supportive of incorporating your partner or your family to aid in healing, communication and healthier dynamics. I am client centered and focus on what you would like your journey in therapy to look and feel like. I am attachment theory and trauma focused in my modalities.

My approach as a mental health counselor is to support you in a collaborative process to nurture the growth and change that aligns with your goals, values, strengths, and resilience. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loneliness, oppression, or addiction can stand in the way of healing from painful situations. My therapeutic style is one of respect, safety, and compassion. I incorporate many therapeutic modalities tailored to your needs to create the growth you would like to see. ​

I enjoy working with diverse populations and providing a safe place for all. I am trauma-informed and come from a strengths-based approach, using a variety of modalities including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. I am honored to work with individuals who trust me with their stories and enjoy walking alongside my clients as they go through the therapeutic process.

Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is to allow the client to tell their story in an open, judgement-free environment creating a safe and trusting connection with treatment designed according to what makes sense to you. Whether you need assistance in processing your experiences, have a specific problem/habit, are seeking general growth, or simply need support and a trusting connection. I offer short and long-term treatment designed to work with you and your unique situation and experiences.

Life is a journey for all of us and people seek therapy for a variety of reasons. My work is about helping you address whatever challenges are getting in the way of you living as your fullest self. Therapy with me is an active and collaborative exploration of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together we create a space for you to better understand yourself so that you can make thoughtful and sustainable choices and changes.

Dr. Clayton Hartmann is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Oregon.

I have worked in various inpatient and outpatient settings offering music therapy to those who desire to explore the important role music can have (or already has) in our lives. I have worked with myriad populations, through specialized work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, and addiction. I combine elements of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Music Therapy. A typical session with me can include, but is not limited to, improvisational and non-improvisational music making (I play guitar, drums, piano and sing).

Working with me is slow, painful and expensive :) We work to peel back the layers covering your authentic self, learn ways to more fully embody your values, and, in time, foster deeper relationships with your community, partner(s), and yourself.

If you’re reading this, we already know you’re struggling. Maybe you’re having trouble “adulting”. You’re feeling like everyone else seems to have it all together, why can’t you? Your mental health is getting worse and worse, and you just want it to stop. Your day to day life is chaos and worry and you remember better days when things just weren't like this. You might feel like you’re out of control of your life.

Taking this leap to seeking therapy services and placing value on your mental health takes an immense amount of courage, and I am glad you’re here. I believe that all individuals have the ability within themselves to find their path to hope and healing, and I would be honored to walk that journey with you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor enthusiastic about helping adult individuals to better their mental health in plenty of life areas. It is my passion to empower folks to become the healthiest version of themselves.

From struggling to THRIVING. Become more fully "yourself." Enjoy relationship satisfaction. Strengthen connection to something bigger that is meaningful. Get relief from depression and anxiety (really!). Improve effectiveness at work. Feel more at home in your body, content. Mindful and present. LAUGH. Choosing a therapist that is both really good AND a great fit is important. There is a difference here you will experience from the get go. The office is in a 1930's Cape Cod style house...inviting & comfortable. With warmth and character. David is unusually relational and "real." Sessions are 60, 75 or 90 minutes rather than 50.

I see you: you're exhausted and anxious. You take care of everybody else before yourself and you give so much of your time, energy, and emotional caring. You are ruled by guilt and feel like you can't say "no" to people because you're terrified they will be mad at you or you'll be rejected. You bravely try to suppress your feelings and needs in order to make people around you happy, but sometimes you feel so full of emotion that it just spills out. It's so hard and lonely to feel trapped and unseen. But, you don't have to continue to feel this way.

Thanks for stopping by! My goal as a therapist is to create a non-judgemental space that is safe, warm, and supportive so you can feel less alone in moving toward your inner-knowing, goals, and recovery. What I value most in my practice is the relationship I have with my clients. My style is dynamic, interpersonal, and collaborative, meaning we tailor different types of therapies to your issues and goals.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and creative process that evokes thoughtful reflection and brings out the resilience in you. Resilience is accepting a new reality, even if not ideal. It is my belief that no matter what life hands you, internal resiliency is your birth right and can help you find and restore balance. Even though innate abilities differ among people, a sense of mastery can be cultivated. My therapeutic approach is to help clients restore their sense of confidence and safety in themselves and in the world.

Accepting new couples clients only. Practicing as a therapist for 19 years, I am a good fit for people looking for a non-judgmental, open, directive and creative therapist. I support adults, couples, families and relationships. I am very experienced in supporting transgender, gueer, polyamorous and/or sex positive clients. People looking for a safe space to be their authentic selves are welcomed. I am queer, transgender, and have lived experience as a fat bodied person. I see queer and/or trans couples for premarital/pre-commitment counseling to help foster healthy attachment and stable futures.

I specialize in working with clients with complex trauma and dissociative disorders, particularly those with multiple marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, chronic pain/disability) involved in harmful systems (foster care, carceral system, military, and hospitalizations). My approach to the work is that our systems and our world are fundamentally inequitable, and therapy is a way to help us survive in the face of many sources of adversity. With therapy, we learn about ourselves and our patterns and develop compassion for our suffering and ways to care for ourselves in all areas of our lives.

My name is Grace, and I am a white queer woman who works with teens and young adults to support them in learning about themselves and healing from past trauma. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA folks and anyone exploring their identity; as well as people of color, disabled folks, and others who face intersecting forms of oppression. My practice is rooted in social justice and anti-racism, and a belief that systemic oppression directly affects our mental health. In our work together, we’ll explore the ways in which systems of power and societal expectations interfere with our right to authenticity and wholeness.

Are you ready to explore a new path and navigate life’s challenges successfully? You can transform and become truly authentic. As your guide, I will spark your curiosity and ignite motivation. I will actively listen, offer empathetic and compassionate feedback, and encourage self-discovery through introspection. On this path you will develop a growth mindset, truly believing that you can become better and improve with time and practice. As you begin to live the life you want to live you will start embracing challenges. As you start to harness the power of your mind, you’ll begin to get the results you want and move towards success.
