Welcome! I'm glad you're here and seeking support - we all deserve it. I work with adult individuals, and also adult sibling pairs. My way of assisting in your process is to help you have a different and better relationship with yourself by truly getting to know all of you - yes, even the parts of you who scare or embarrass you. Together we can work toward a more integrated whole, where you can exist with yourself in harmony. The results tend to be less shame and self-criticism, less internal and external avoidance, more self-compassion, and more manageable moods and behaviors.

You are not alone. You are not broken. You are not lost. You are more than your feelings and thoughts. You are whole. You are unique. You are your mind, body, and spirit.

No matter what your struggle, whether it's depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, fear, shame, or lack of self-discipline, let me support you in this process to live the life you want to live. Available Wednesday through Friday with more flexibility on Thursday.

Hello! I am Chad Ernest, Owner and Counselor of Sunny Sky Counseling, LLC. Every one could use some sunny sky in Portland now and again. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon, who believes in the best in all of us and tries to help you find that in yourself. Whether that means I am working with you as an individual, your family, or as a couple, I am working to help you find the best outcomes. I believe in a client/family centered approach with collaboration in treatment between you and myself.

With the state of the world, mental health is at an all-time low and we are all experiencing collective trauma. I take climate, pandemic, economic, political, societal, and cultural problems into account, on top of personal issues. My goal has always been to help those with trauma, personality disorders, and depression/anxiety by diving into the unconscious, cultivating self-awareness, and creating practical solutions. My clients are diverse and range from 13-65+ yrs old.

Welcome to a safe space where you are allowed to be you, judgment free. I am experienced in helping individuals process and heal in issues from trauma, depression, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues, emotion regulation, parenting, and other life stresses. Seeking counseling is a brave move for your health and happiness. I am here to walk with you as you work toward regaining your balance and peace.

I am a person-focused therapist dedicated to understanding your experiences, identifying challenges, and collaboratively exploring the best path forward for you. I recognize the internal strengths and capabilities inherent in each individual, which we harness in the discovery and therapeutic process. With over 15 years of experience, I have successfully assisted adults dealing with various issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, identity concerns, life transitions, weight management, healthy living, marital/relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, school stress, leadership, and work-related stress.

My practice is currently full, please reach out you would like to be added to the waiting list (est. 1-2 months). I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where my clients can feel welcome and safe. As a psychodynamic therapist, I believe that healing can happen through accessing the realm of the unconscious. This process of exploring thoughts and images can be daunting, but also immensely satisfying and life changing.

Much of what stands in the way of growth is our own self-judgment. We are all imperfect and our greatest hope for growth, contentment and fulfilling connection to others, comes through recognizing this truth and accepting the natural ebb and flow of emotion and circumstance. My job as your counselor is to help you figure out your goals, learn how your old habits and coping strategies no longer serve you, and help you access your inner wisdom.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience practicing psychotherapy with adults and adolescents in New York City, and am happy to now call Portland my home. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with grief, loss, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma, helping to address life challenges, transitions and long-standing issues. As we all find ourselves in this startling new landscape due to the presence of COVID-19, I can support you in coping with newfound challenges, helping you to find your grounding--even amidst our "new normal".

I am profoundly blessed to do work that I love. I strive to deeply witness, understand and hold space for you in your moments of pain and uncertainty. In times of hardship we must be compassionate with ourselves and our process. We all have uniquely rich and complex stories that shape our own meaning and understanding of ourselves and our world. I provide a safe, encouraging and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My style is warm, collaborative and direct. I believe compassion and humor are vital ingredients for happiness and healing. My approach is integrative, I utilize a strength based, humanistic and relational perspective.

Hi! I am so glad you are here. My approach is direct, nurturing and connective. I believe in the capacity to grow and to become our best selves. I incorporate psychodynamic talk therapy to understand the stuck points, while incorporating mindfulness and somatic work to connect the mind and body. Additionally, I acknowledge that oppression exists within marginalized communities, thus treating the individual in a social context.

I work with individuals suffering from trauma, chronic pain, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and various life transitions. I utilize Mindfulness-based and Somatic approaches to help clients cultivate mind-body awareness and create emotional well-being. Somatic Experiencing is one of the approaches that is very effective in helping people overcome the effects of accumulated, chronic stress. It integrates neuroscience, attachment theory and mindfulness to help you restore a sense of balance to your emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual life.

I believe we all need and want to feel connected to other people. Our relationships can bring the greatest joy and yet can serve as our greatest source of pain. I come along side you to identify patterns, perceptions and communication that can help or hinder your relationships, and can affect your mind, body, and spirit. Working together, we will activate your own strengths, equip you with practical tools for coping and thriving, and release those burdens that have prevented you from trusting, connecting and expressing your emotions to others in a constructive way.

Together we'll take a look at your past in order to understand how you got to where you are presently and work to make changes that will enhance your life.

I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and heal. There are seasons that we need connection and support through difficult times journey. The purpose of therapy is to provide you with the opportunity to explore a variety of concerns related to your current situation. I work with clients through a collaborative therapeutic relationship that fosters acceptance, connection, and hope. Our past does not define us, but it does inform who we are today. I specialize in empowering clients to find healing and renewal as you explore dynamics of the past and how they interact with the present.
