Hypnosis puts you in touch with your inner resources, allowing you to bring more of what you want into your life. Hypnosis is safe and gentle. It is the fastest and most effective way to make positive changes in your life; either physical, emotional or spiritual. Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to enhance your immune system, reduce tension and stress, lower your blood pressure, improve your entire circulatory system, improve focus and concentration, elevate your feelings of self-esteem, and release you from addictive behaviors. I have been practicing hypnosis and guided imagery in Eugene, OR for 30 years.

I am a licensed psychologist who utilizes mindfulness-based therapies in my approach to treatment. I have worked with many patients experiencing varied mental health concerns, including anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, eating disorders, sleep disorders and acute stress. Together, we will work to identify what you value in life and explore ways for you to engage in a way that is aligned with your valued outcome. Typically, what lands people in my office is a gap between how they are living their lives and how they want to be living their lives. Our work together would focus on closing this gap.

Apologies, my practice is full. I support clients in addressing issues related to identity, relationship and belonging. My work is anchored in a Relational model of care whose aim is to support the development and maintenance of mutually beneficial and sustainable relationships. I work with clients to identify and cultivate resources, supports and protective factors so they may feel increasingly more secure navigating life. My work with clients reflects my values of transparency, respect and courage. Much of my work focuses on resolving trauma wounding, with highly effective models of care such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

I am currently accepting new clients. I work with individuals, children, couples and families employing EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy to assist clients in freeing themselves from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and the effects of developmental attachment disorders which can manifest as anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, anger issues, and conflicts in relationships. I have also worked as a developmental children’s therapist for over 15 years assisting parents in implementing effective parenting strategies that support their child’s learning and development.

Welcome. I have over 25 years of professional experience with adult mental health. I utilize a variety of evidence-based interventions in order to tailor my approach to the unique needs of each individual. I primarily draw from person centered, solution focused, and cognitive behavioral modalities. Each person is different, and I strive to create a safe space in which we can explore your concerns, goals, and the interventions that will be most helpful for you. I work with concerns related to mood, anxiety, life transitions, difficult adjustments, career exploration/satisfaction, stress management, and purpose in life to name a few.

I tend to work with a few different types of clients given my specializations. First, I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression. This can be adolescents, teens, or adults, and tend to be successful at ameliorating symptoms. Second, I work with families who find themselves struggling. There are various reasons for the struggle, but that is what we unpack and figure out how to best move forward to improve the well-being of all. Lastly, I help people better manage stress, this could be anyone, as we all experience times in life when our well-being suffers as we struggle to navigate a life transition.

Currently welcoming new couples and individual clients. I am offering therapy online via televideo as well as in nature-based settings with walk/talks and sitting spaces. If you are struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self esteem, and other mental health challenges I am here to help. Through our work together you will increase your awareness of stuck patterns, learn to make desired changes, and step into living a more full & authentic life. I can help to provide you with the necessary tools, mindfulness skills, and somatic practices for improving your connection to self and others.

Greetings! My name is Kate Melnychuk, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Eugene, Oregon with 5 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I work with adults and families seeking support with a range of needs in therapy, including anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and relational stress. I utilize the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and mindfulness based practices to support clients in achieving their goals to work towards fulfillment and feeling better.

Although I consider myself a lifelong learner, my name can often throw people. While my last name is "Student," I am actually a licensed, seasoned clinician with extensive training and experience in the field of psychology. I help adults confront a wide range of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. I also have expertise in assisting individuals struggling with their physical health, including chronic pain, medical illness, and sleep/insomnia.

Would you like to be living a more meaningful, authentic life? Many of the people I see struggle to prioritize themselves for a variety of reasons. This can often lead to feelings of burnout and loss of motivation. Taking time to reconnect with what matters most and identifying your next steps can be a transformative experience. Whether you are looking to increase insight, improve your relationship, or become a better version of you, therapy can be a very useful tool. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and provide a place for you to pursue the changes you seek.

My practice is currently full. I work with adults struggling with trauma-related symptoms, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, grief, life transitions and those interested in making healthy lifestyle changes. I believe change is possible when people feel safe to explore their values, hopes, dreams, commitments, and purpose, as well as their disappointments and hurts. I aim to help clients "slow down," encouraging reflection and insight, and the development of healthy coping strategies to create sustainable change. My stance is curious and flexible reflecting my belief that my clients are the experts on their lives.

I specialize in working with people experiencing difficult life transitions. These may be adjusting to a disability, the death of a loved one, changes in family structure or employment among other things. I consider difficult life transitions to include times when we experience increased stress requiring changing coping skills. I create a safe and affirming environment for you to begin recognizing that you are not on this journey alone. By seeking counseling you have the opportunity to learn new information and patterns that no longer serve to move you in the direction you want to go.

I am currently accepting new clients! I work with teens, adults, and couples. I believe that counseling can provide a safe place to explore ourselves and our world in new and positive ways. The struggles of life can feel overwhelming at times, and having someone to journey through these challenges with allows for hope and growth, ultimately building a roadmap toward a more content and fulfilling life. It is an honor to be a part of each client's personal journey of restoration and freedom.

All of us face experiences in our lives where we can benefit from the support and connection that therapy provides. Scientific evidence demonstrates that a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship is restorative, healing and emotionally regulating. As a therapist, I believe in connecting with clients, human-to-human, and I regularly feel a deep sense of understanding for those with whom I work. There is so much noise around us that it is often difficult for us to hear our own truth. I offer a compassionate, heart-centered space to help you to deeply trust your own inner strength and core values.

There are times in a person's life when their own natural support system may not be enough. It may be time to reach out to get the support and guidance from an experienced therapist. This office is dedicated to the mental health wellness of women that are experiencing depressed mood, anxiety, relationship struggles and even thoughts of self-harm. My goal is to create a very personalized plan for your care so that you feel supported and validated each session. INTRA- means from within. Start your healing and growth from within by connecting with my office today.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming and it is my privilege to be a a judgement-free support and guide. I help young people sort through a variety of complex emotions in a safe and welcoming space with the goal of identifying the right tools to experience success.

You are insightful and high-achieving, but you are struggling with confidence, coping with stress, or taking care of your own needs. You might have an idea of what you want in life but don’t know how to get there. You are taking care of everyone but yourself. Maybe anxiety, uncertainty, unhelpful thoughts, painful memories, or old patterns are holding you back. Perhaps you need to make a change, or you’re in the midst of a change and struggling to adjust. You want to gain deeper insight into yourself and your experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.

Adversity is a part of life. When adversity creates an emotional charge, the body responds. If left unprocessed, adversities can get stuck in the mind and body, wreaking havoc on the nervous system and imposing mental, physical, and performance blocks, inhibiting overall wellbeing. Have you ever felt, "...no matter how much I try, I keep repeating old patterns?" I work from the understanding that the body remembers and is trying to protect. This leads to automatic protective stress responses. Deeper healing involves processing and releasing stressors within the whole self, learning to trust oneself, and calming the nervous system.

If you are experiencing a frustratingly familiar cycle in life or with your relationship, I encourage you to reach out in whichever way is easiest---email, phone or text---and see if we can start creating something new and healthier for yourself. It is truly comforting to have a safe place where you can be heard, where you can begin to have hope for more consistent and secure connection. Our immediate focus would be on making your daily life and relationships more manageable. We then would work together identifying unsatisfying patterns and exploring more successful ways to say and get what you need.
