"Do you face the demands of a life with a hectic pace, ever-growing expectations, and diminishing returns? Maybe you're actually keeping up with it all, but feeling disconnected from your dreams and the people around you. Or maybe you've noticed some nagging patterns in your thoughts, feelings, or relationships that keep repeating themselves. What brings you to counseling or therapy is usually complex and very personal - calling for deep respect & understanding."

"Your Bridges Child and Family therapist provides support and guidance for families in navigating the ups and downs of child and adolescent development and equipping them with tools for clearer communication, collaborative problem solving, trauma processing, meeting home and school expectations, and improving overall quality of life. They work with children and teens (ages 6-18) who are experiencing family conflict, behavior issues at home or school, and other challenges stemming from experiences of trauma, depression, and anxiety."

"In today's society it is not easy being "different". As humans, we need connection, but sometimes it's hard to build relationships if who you are doesn't match the expectations of family or loved ones. Lack of connection can lead to depression and anxiety, especially if you believe you don't fit in or experience real oppression. Relating authentically to family, friends and co-workers presents unique challenges and counseling can help, especialliy if it's done together with partners and family members. I believe in the power of relationship--to ourselves, our loved ones, our co-workers, our animal companions, and our environment."

"My goal is to provide a warm, safe, accepting environment for individuals and families to grow and rebuild hope for the future. I believe that each individual has their own unique strengths and I tailor therapeutic services to build upon these gifts and differences. I find several factors contribute to life challenges and stress including family history, social situations and internal thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, my goal is to help you identify these factors and find the tools that work for you."

"As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with individuals who have been through trauma and abuse and are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety or depression, as well as substance abuse that are affecting their well-being and causing relationship issues. I believe that mind, body and spirit issues contribute to anxiety, depression, mood, addictions and relationship issues. My modalities of treatment include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), LI (Lifespan Integration), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and Motivational Interviewing."

"Currently I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, addictions, and grief. While I have received training in a number of approaches, my goal is to offer you interventions and tools that best fit for you. I am most influenced by DBT, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Expressive Art Therapy. I look through the lens of trauma, and I take a behaviorally specific approach to support experiences of transformation into long term change and growth. You can expect to have tools and skills to practice in between session to support your work."

"I've been a professional therapist for 25 years and a student of Buddhist mindfulness practices for over 30 years. I love working with people who are not just trying to fix problems but are wanting to understanding better who they are, why they're here, and how do they do that well. I also help couples learn to communicate about their stuck places and to improve their practice of intimacy with each other. I enjoy helping people who have a spiritual practice bring it into the gritty work of partnering, raising children and sharing their wisdom with the world."

"**I have a few current openings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays Only. Please specify a day and time that works best for you in an inquiry emial**. I have experience providing individual therapy to those dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and substance use. I know that life can bring about loss in many forms and believe in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship. I believe in working with clients to help in identifying and creating new ways to live a healthy life."

"My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for growth to allow us to find solutions to the problems that bring you to therapy. I specialize in complex trauma/PTSD, anxiety issues, and autism spectrum disorders, and work with adult, adolescent, and child clients. I am not accepting new child clients currently. I believe that many factors, including individual history, family and social environment, thinking patterns, and biology contribute to the struggles that bring people to therapy, and I tailor my approach to address individual strengths and needs. I do both short and long-term therapy depending on client need and preference."

"My work centers around the belief that every person is doing the best with the tools they were given and that children and adults alike, when offered non-judgmental support and guidance around ways to navigate life's stressors, can rediscover connection and joy within themselves and within their relationships."

"Flowers have an innate ability to connect you to your true inner nature, allowing you to open up and express yourself in new ways. I've taken this idea and developed a new therapeutic modality, FHT, to help you along your journey of self-development and authentic living. FHT combines talk therapy with floral arranging to help you slow down, be creative, acknowledge and release fear, decrease suffering and cultivate more joy. In each session, you'll find fresh flowers from the Portland Flower Market and a bright environment to create something that is uniquely yours."

" I work with people from all walks of life, including transgender, non-binary, and questioning people of all ages. As a transgender person, I have a special passion for working with people in the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in helping people navigate the challenges of understanding the intersections of their identity, relationships, and the larger world. For youth (and adults too!), I can offer specialized artistic approaches that support healing and identity exploration when talking is too hard. Art therapy can with expression when words alone cannot."

"Starting therapy can be daunting, so I encourage you to reach out, even if you're uncertain where to start. I've witnessed profound impacts in my work with people, where shame becomes self acceptance and overwhelm becomes relief and ease. I welcome everyone who wants to work with me, and especially welcome those who may not have felt comfortable in therapy before, possibly due to experiencing marginality, societal oppression, or being shy. I also tend to work well with over achievers, sensitive introverts, and perfectionists struggling to find a stable sense of self worth. My practice is anti oppression and trauma informed."

"***My sliding scale practice is currently full.*** I believe that all people are creative, resourceful and capable of growth. Change is difficult and we are all deserving of support. I am honored to work with folks through all of life’s transitions. If we decide to work together, we will identify goals and work through the barriers to becoming more healthy, happy and fulfilled. "

"A person's potential can be obscured by a history of stress, strain and compromises. Therapy can re-orient a person to their true needs, allowing them to become more effective in many aspects of their lives: at work, home, and in relationships. I offer a collaborative, safe, and respectful environment where conversations unfold at their own pace. It is important that a person trusts the therapist who they work with and is able to discuss their problems openly. The right "fit" between therapist and patient can be determined best after an initial consultation."

"My clients are high functioning individuals who want help getting unstuck in some area of their lives, are seeking direction, and want help in alleviating pain, whether it is physical, emotional, psychological, relational, or spiritual. It's not unusual for them to have tried different therapies before coming to me, and most find that the combination of approaches that I use creates a healing synergy that they have not found elsewhere. In fact, my business card says "Deep Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit." See my website at kweymouth.com for details."

"Opal & Sage offers individual and group art therapy and counseling services that are person-centered and strengths-based. I welcome adult clients of all ages and abilities, with any personal concerns and conflicts regarding mental health. I specialize in working with individuals with dementia, traumatic brain injury, developmental disabilities, and physical disabilities."

"I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families. I believe in being compassionate but direct. I help my clients uncover their internal resources for healthier coping and the possibility of change. I believe each person has the potential resilience needed to make adjustments in his or her life. As a therapist it is my job to help my clients access those resources in a constructive way."

"In our work together we will begin to help you loosen the defenses and masks you have had to create to exist in the world today. By gently lowering these defenses you will begin to feel more energized, and be able to live your life more in the present rather than mourning your past or worrying about your future."

"We all deserve to feel aligned, safe and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we feel healthy and fulfilled we are more likely to live with presence. I utilize a creative, eclectic, evidence based lens, centered in mindfulness, to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, needs, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. I addresses problems from a compassionate lens meeting clients where they are. Our work together involves expanding awareness of our inner minds, and our felt sense to move towards a more integrated self."
