Greetings. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in geropsychology and neuropsychology. I primarily complete neuropsychological assessments to give patients and doctors information about brain functioning (memory, decision making, etc). OPAL, an institute for Passionate Aging and Living, is the organization through which I help people embrace and optimize their aging experience. I work with patients to use brain, emotional, and social strengths and resources to work around areas of weakness or problems.

Mental health concerns for aging persons can become crippling. Older adults who experience depression and anxiety will likely continue to do so until its addressed through assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a clinician. Symptoms that indicate depression and anxiety in older adults can include feeling sad or down, feeling lonely, tearfulness, excessive fears and worries, decreases in appetite and weight, extreme mood changes, withdraw from friends, family, and social events, and frequently talking abut death. Now accepting new patients!

Humans are capable of accomplishing amazing feats. We all struggle with challenges, many of which present an awesome opportunity for adaptation, introspection, and growth. It is natural to seek support and counsel to navigate these challenges. I am honored to partner with clients in achieving their goals for unearthing new clarity, learning new coping tools, healing past hurts, and generally feeling better. Much of my experience comes from working with grief, chronic illness, chronic pain, dementia, depression, anxiety and life transitions such as death, birth, and divorce.

Hello, and welcome! Caring for a person experiencing brain changes due to dementia can be an exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming experience. You may be feeling depleted and unsure about how to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. You might also be feeling alone in this journey and that it is difficult for others to comprehend what you're going through.

I am an Adult Neuropsychologist specializing in assessment and diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia.

We offer quality mental health services through a variety of psychological evaluations for the city of Portland and the surrounding areas. Our office conducts evaluations and screenings related to the identification of developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, cognitive problems, emotional struggles, intellectual difficulties, and dementia. Our primary job duties are related to the administration, interpretation, and writing of diagnostic evaluations. As such, we are able to provide feedback within one week after testing has been administered. Please contact us to talk about how we can help you.

I provide psychodiagnostic and neuropsychological assessment for older adults. These evaluations can be useful in providing diagnostic clarity, and in exploring changes in memory and cognitive functioning. All assessments include a feedback session, during which I go over my findings and make recommendations for improving quality of life. I also write a detailed report, which I can send to other medical providers with a signed release.

I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological evaluations for adults, aged 18 and over. This includes evaluations for complex medical conditions, mental health, developmental or learning differences, and Fitness for Duty. I also provide cognitive rehabilitation. Cognitive rehabilitation is a short-term, skill-building therapy used to treat challenges with cognition or thinking. It is an evidence-based practice shown to build and strengthen pathways in the brain and make thinking tasks easier. Whatever the cause, understanding and strengthening cognitive abilities can make a difference in your day-to-day life.

NOW is the time! Life is getting harder each day and everyone can benefit from talking to a therapist from time to time. I help clients get through major life transitions and make changes to live a more fulfilling life. Some are building relationships as young adults while others are experiencing loss and age related change. I'm trained in Geriatric Mental Health and age related issues. I can help families get their loved ones the care and support they need as a neutral non-related care provider. I'm skilled in helping adults with ADHD to discover new ways of thinking and BEING that can make life easier and more enjoyable for all.

I work with families, couples or individuals irrespective of diagnosis or the presenting problem. I'm interested in the person, not the label. From my perspective, psychotherapy is a collaboration. It has been referred to as the "talking cure" because it heals through conversation. Putting troubling thoughts, emotions, and memories into words enables them to be felt and understood more deeply, to be borne with greater resilience, and to facilitate wiser choices. And, the privacy, boundaries, empathy, and safety of the therapeutic relationship can enable even the most shameful and frightening feelings to be faced and worked through.

I strive to create the safest space possible so that past experiences or current stressors can be explored and new possibilities can be discovered. Using a safe collaborative approach, I can support you in maneuvering through your feelings of anger, fear and helplessness so that you can overcome obstacles, achieve your goals and live the well lived life you deserve.

It can often feel like a brave step to decide to go to therapy. I specialize in recovery-- from old patterns that no longer serve you, problems with anxiety or depression, addiction, grief and relationships that are changing. Perhaps you are not sure what you need but you know something is just not quite right...Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to think carefully about your life, your history and what you hope for with a trained listener who can help you navigate and help you to figure important things out.

My name is Laurie Dawkins MS Psy, LPC, I hold a Master of Science degree in psychology and I’m a licensed mental health therapist in Oregon. I believe that the difficulties and struggles we all experience in life need not define who we are or determine how we feel about ourselves, and I’m so glad you reached out as the first step towards healing and personal growth. Since you are a genuinely unique human being and no one else in the world has your biological make-up, personality, or life experiences, you and I can work together to create a personalized therapy plan to address your specific needs.

I specialize in providing emotion focused therapy for couples who are interested in working on issues related to communication, trust, infidelity, connection, and intimacy. I also work with individuals who are looking to heal their relationship with food, body image, stress, anxiety, substance use, depression, and manage responses to complex trauma. I welcome folx of all types, including LGBTQI and poly/ENM identifying individuals and couples. People who work with me enjoy integrating mindfulness and humor into the therapeutic tableau.

My favorite thing to do is support people. Being human can feel difficult and confusing at times. Communication can feel even trickier. I support my clients with lovingkindness and unlimited compassion. I am vibrant and down-to-earth. I definitely want all of my clients to feel safe, heard, and grounded. I specialize in transitions, anxiety, depression, sex, couples, parenting, divorce, insecurities, etc. I have a special place in my heart for the perinatal community. I have been working with new families for almost 20 years.
