Humanistic Therapists in 97225

It is my belief that every individual has the ability to reach and maintain their desired state of being through the counseling process. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve self-awareness, and acceptance while providing a safe space for exploration, processing, and implementation of change to occur. My focus is working with people of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the issues that present with being in a marginalized community. Are you living with depression, anxiety, lack or self-worth and or value? If you feel like I may be the right fit for you, let's take the next step and meet for our consultation.

I am a Humanistic, Existential and Systemic Psychotherapist. I respect each person's inner wisdom and believe that each of us naturally tends toward growth and resilience. Past and current relationships, be they family of origin, community, cultural ties, or family of choice, shape who we are, how we grow, and hold both the wound and the salve for our healing. I work with individuals, couples, teens, and families. Much of my work is with people who are in some sort of transition or crossroads in their relationships or personal growth.

Hey there, I'm Ben Mosebach and I'm not your typical therapist. I'm not here to offer you clichés or empty promises. What I offer is authenticity, rawness, and the potential to profoundly impact your life. My approach to therapy is straightforward and down-to-earth. Theoretically I am rooted in the humanistic perspectives encompassing aspects of existentialism, gestalt and person centered therapy. But I'm not interested in wasting your time with superficial chatter or jargon-filled language. I'm here to roll up my sleeves and get to work with you, tackling whatever challenges you're facing head-on.

Since no two people are the same, no treatment should look the same. I believe in individualizing the counseling experience to the client and their unique needs. Thus, I practice with a trans-theoretical model or across theories. I take into account your readiness for change, your strengths, and your developmental level to create a working relationship that allows for growth and resilience building. Some approaches I have utilized in the past include Wellness Based Counseling, EcoWellness/ EcoTherapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

Therapy can be a place for personal growth and insight. We each have a unique history, journey, and growth process. My goal is to support your overall wellness: mental, physical, emotional, and connective. I work with those experiencing a variety of life issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ASD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Sometimes, as humans, we get wounded in ways that are so deep, they are difficult to name. Perhaps you have lost loved ones along the way, or can't find meaning in your story. Have you ever inventoried your life to discover that it is not what you want it to be? Do you feel haunted by memories? Maybe you engage in self-destructive or numbing behaviors that you wish you could change, but find that making those changes is easier said than done. My goal is to create a trustworthy space where we can work through whatever it is you bring in, on your search for healing, fulfillment, and wholeness.

Life inevitably involves some pain, but it is not necessary to suffer needlessly. If you seek some relief and would like a greater degree of peace, I may be able to help. What I offer is to support you in finding clarity, accessing your inherent wisdom to develop a kinder, often more realistic perspective, and then identify and begin to take steps to help you feel relief and works towards a solution. This solution may include a change in lifestyle or in your perspective. I bring a compassionate and educated approach, and actively collaborate with you on what could be most helpful.

Hello! I'm Marni, a licensed clinical social worker who employs an individualized approach to therapy. I'm deeply passionate about assisting individuals, couples, and families in navigating life's challenges with compassion and insight. My specialization lies in addressing concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and I'm known for my ability to think creatively, recognizing that we all bring our unique perspectives.

Life stress can often pile up to a point where we feel we cannot handle it on our own. This stress can look like wounds from past experiences, ongoing trauma, or maybe feeling like there is too much to handle on your plate. I hope to partner with you to create a comfortable and therapeutic space, so you can begin to process some of the challenges that life throws our way. I am passionate about assisting adolescents and adults to make positive change in their lives, wherever they are at in their journey towards growth.

My goal as a therapist and Clinical Supervisor is to increase your zest and vitality for life, to foster your ability to take action (empowerment), as well as to support you in having clarity (a clearer picture of yourself and others). Each of these goals, I believe, lead to an increased sense of self worth. In my time as a therapist, I have found that growth occurs both individually as well as in connection with others and that growth fostering relationships (of all kinds) that are created through mutual empathy and mutual empowerment are a key aspect of all of our lives.

I practice a dynamic style of therapy that is rooted in creating a supportive, caring environment where we establish a good working relationship that fosters self-awareness and insight. I work in-depth with you to discover how past family experiences may (often unconsciously) influence present day issues. We work to understand how difficult situations of the past contribute to longstanding frequently dysfunctional behavior patterns or negative self-perceptions. Therapy can help heal painful emotional wounds and relieve symptoms, improve self-acceptance and coping, improve relationship quality and overall life and work satisfaction.

The therapeutic relationship is crucial to the healing process, whether the problem is with external relationships, traumatic experience, or one's relationship with the self. I use psychoanalytic principles and relational dynamics to explore the internal conflicts and patterns that are at the root of emotional, psychological and relational problems. I am also sensitive to spirituality and the existential problems inherent in being human, and how these affect us all. I have a special interest in the psychology of twins and intersubjective relating in general.

It goes without saying these past few years have been an uphill battle. With the stress of a pandemic, the economic hardships facing many, and political divides deepening: it's no wonder anxiety is high. Or depression feels magnified. Or you find yourself falling back into bad habits.  But you don't have to struggle through this time alone. Empathic Counseling can help you cope during this difficult time and empower you to thrive. I work closely with clients across Oregon to help them find freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, or that harsh voice inside you that tells you you're not enough.

It can feel difficult to decide if now is the right time to start therapy. Ambivalence is normal. Exploring that uncertainty can be a great place to begin. It could mean that you feel stuck, or have a sense that something is not quite right and you are interested in making it better. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are often a result of loss, life transitions, relationship stress, traumas, or identity discovery to name a few. Exploring your experience can help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions and lets you tap into your own wisdom and strengths, making change possible.

The willingness to engage in a process, to consider other perspectives alongside of our own, to courageously seek assistance... all cornerstones to positive change. Ultimately, what we think can help lead us to what we become.

My name is Karim (he/him) and I’m a Professional Counseling Associate located in Portland, Oregon. I help individuals heal their trauma, increase awareness and work toward cultivating meaningful connections in their most important relationships. I am passionate about helping you live your life with more authenticity and freedom. I believe in understanding the parts of yourself that make you who you are, rather than removing them. I specialize in working with refugees, immigrants, and multicultural backgrounds. I am also experienced in helping self esteem, navigating body image, and working on the importance of boundaries.

I offer counseling and coaching for adults and their families who are facing challenging life transitions, such as serious medical illness (e.g. cancer, multiple sclerosis), relationship change, career change and retirement, midlife revitalization, loss and bereavement.

Feeling stuck, lonely, sad, or frustrated? Perhaps you don't know where to start, but long for the reflection, support, and freedom you'll feel as you own your truth and take actions that supports your best life. Whether it is your first time trying therapy, or you have experience and want to continue your personal growth and you want someone relatable and easy to talk to, I would love to support you. I enjoy caring for those I work with as they seek to better know themselves and validate their needs. It's my goal to really deeply listen, both to what you say and what you don't.

I believe in a practical, researched, but empathetic and compassionate approached to therapy that helps patients gain greater awareness of themselves and their relationships, in addition to finding meaning and purpose in life. Together we will examine your options, expand your perspective, and arrive at solutions that are in your best interest.
