I am a licensed psychologist providing video telehealth counseling to adults in Oregon who are struggling in their lives and relationships. Together, we explore the habits and beliefs that keep them from realizing their potential. In my practice, clients discover clarity about their values and boundaries, and are empowered to make change in their lives. My approach is to build a relationship of support and trust with you that offers the safety to explore problems with flexibility and curiosity. My clinical and research experience has given me expertise in human behaviors and emotions, but you are the expert of yourself.

You feel alone, confused, and overwhelmed. You have been through a major life shift and don't know which way is up. You need someone who gets it. I am here, not with an easy fix, but with a listening ear and a kind heart. The issues you are facing are complex, and the pain is real. I am not interested in telling you what to do, but rather in empowering you to learn to hear your inner voice. It may be hard to believe, but you already know the answers! My role is to listen, support, and offer ideas.

That constant nagging voice of “Am I good enough?” is ever present. Feeling pulled to please everyone, you are worn down. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it together! On the inside, you’re stressed, doubting yourself, and wondering if you can feel true joy again. You don’t know where to begin to change things and worry about failing, so you don’t do anything. Questioning if you even deserve to feel better, you are left feeling stuck and alone in this cave of overwhelm, while life keeps going on without you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have dedicated much of my professional life to working with children and families. In my family work, I have enjoyed working with adults and have expanded my practice to include adults. I have worked in a variety of positions which include the following: therapist, youth advocate, teacher, youth employment specialist, Big Brother/Big Sister Coordinator, parent/teen mediator, mentor, coach, youth crew leader and Peace Corps Volunteer. These experiences have provided a wealth of insight into the human condition. They have enriched my life and often inform my work as a therapist.

Hi, my name is Arden Bryce. I'm a clinician licensed in Oregon and Washington. I'm glad you've stopped by and are considering taking the first steps toward creating change in your life. I have a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University. I specialize in providing therapeutic support to children/youth who are differently wired and their parents/caregivers.

Dr. Winter is a clinical psychologist with a background in treatment, assessment, and research. She specializes in anxiety and neurodevelopmental disorders including (but, not limited to) ADHD, Autism Spectrum, OCD, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. She excels at solving tricky clinical questions to identify what is causing specific problems or keeping someone from progressing in treatment.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process, but if you're here you've already taken the first difficult steps towards making a change. That in itself is commendable.

While I treat a wide variety of psychological disorders, I also specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing pre- and post-natal mood and anxiety disorders. Getting pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child are all stressful experiences and depression and anxiety are actually quite common. My goal is to assist clients in learning how to manage stress, and provide clients with emotional support and the right skills to help clients and/or their partners thrive.

I consider myself to be a body inclusive therapist who specializes in helping clients recover from disordered eating behaviors, weight stigma, body image concerns and impacts from diet culture.

I am LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC affirming and knowledgeable.

Are you overwhelmed by negative self-talk? Maybe you feel that no matter how hard you try, you somehow seem to miss the mark you set for yourself. Are you struggling with a sense of overwhelming anxiety, and your usual methods of coping are just not working anymore? Perhaps you've been hesitant to seek professional advice because you had a bad experience with a therapist, or you simply dislike labels. I am here to lend a hand. I strive to practice in a way that is most comfortable for my clients. For some, a diagnosis feels like validation; for others, it's a prison. I am happy to provide the service that best suits your needs.

Dr. Brian Evans is a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy to adolescents and adults. He enjoys working with individuals who present with a wide range of challenges. He employs a biopsychosocial approach to understanding why people sometimes feel “stuck” and are looking for ways through their difficulties. Sometimes these struggles may be in response to a new problem or one they have been dealing with for a long time. I work from a strength-based perspective, with the assumption that people are wired for wellness, but that life can get in the way of that happening.

I work with clients who experienced childhood trauma, relational trauma, developmental trauma; clients who have been victims of narcissists, clients who experienced pregnancy loss (stillbirth, miscarriage), clients who have PTSD, clients who have medical trauma, transgenerational trauma, clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem; grief. I am a certified trauma professional. I am polyvagal informed and do inner child work using somatic treatments with various modalities that match my clients' needs. LGBTQA+ friendly. I also offer very affordable sessions of group counseling for trauma healing. Contact me for more information.

As a psychologist, I evaluate and treat patients through a variety of methods, most typically being psychotherapy or talk therapy. Patients usually visit me because they have been experiencing depression, anxiety, stress or anger for a significant period of time and are seeking help.
