Sometimes we find ourselves feeling a sense of groundlessness during major life transitions, events, grief, or loss. Sometimes this groundlessness is experienced as anxiety, loneliness, relational distress, poor sense of self-worth, or insecurity. While these experiences can cause immense distress, they can also provide an opportunity to explore and get to know ourselves in ways we have not yet imagined.

Hello, I’m James, and thank you for being here. Whether you are new to therapy or have been sitting on the couch for years, welcome! First off, there is no perfect way to do therapy and there is no perfect way to client. So, I hope for you less pressure and worry in exploring this curious thing called therapy. I strive to make my practice safe, comfortable, individualized and resourceful. Another core tenant of my practice that I find equally important: your leadership. You are the expert of you, even if you may not always feel it - I'll do my very best to be of resource to you. (Response 48-72 hrs)

Are you going through the motions, feeling overwhelmed, or barely getting by? Are you searching for a way forward but aren't sure where to start?

Together we'll work to understand your experiences and develop practical skills to work with your symptoms, challenges, and strengths in new and helpful ways.

I often work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, relationships and childhood trauma. I believe that change that occurs in therapy comes from forming a safe therapeutic relationship, while increasing your awareness of self, challenging your old beliefs, and establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others. I tend to be an active participant in therapy. I ask questions, offer observations, and look for patterns that may help provide a deeper understanding. However, I believe the client is the true expert on themselves, and I trust in each individuals unique healing process.

I am originally from Nebraska and in my free time, I enjoy movies, the Oregon coast and college and professional football.

I take a client-centered approach to therapy. It’s not about making a diagnosis, but rather creating a therapeutic alliance, discovering what you want to work on, and how you want to get there. I’ll walk alongside you, toolbox in hand, ready to assist - helping you clear any obstacles on your path to experiencing life to its fullest. I provide therapy for individuals age 18 and older with issues related to: depression, anxiety, PTSD, veterans & families, adult survivors of abuse and neglect, addiction/substance use, codependence, life transitions, aging, and sleep disorders.

I also provide in-home nursing-aid care, DD respite care, and tutoring. A client is encouraged to boldly explore their own thoughts and emotions in a safe, warm and collaborative therapeutic environment and find new solutions, skills, insight and awareness around life's challenges, both within the person and the persons' life experience

Hello, I'm Shawn Berthel, (M.S., LCMHC). In my private practice, I believe you can be helped to make shifts in your behavior and thinking processes, to create awareness of your issues, and to change the areas you wish to correct. You will be encouraged to empower yourself, and become a partner in your own self-care. These changes may be slow or difficult at first. However, I know that you have the innate power to maximize your strengths and seek out necessary support, so you can move forward positively into a new life filled with opportunity.

My clients tell me that my counseling style combines my intelligence, intuitive sense, gentle-ness and "real-ness" in a way that creates trust and produces results. I am non-judgemental and able to adapt my approach to any type of person and any type of need. I work well with all genders, and people from any type of background.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

Hi, I have worked with hurting people for a long time and my hope is to support you through this difficult, possibly overwhelming time in your life. Your struggle is unique and personal and I respect your need to feel understood. During our first visit, I will simply listen and seek to understand what is causing you sorrow, anxiety, hurt, or anger. Together we will work towards wholeness and my firm hope is that I can help you find that place in life again where you are at peace with yourself and your situation.

My goal is to help each of my clients experience self-acceptance, growth and healing in their particular context. I specialize in treating relationships and communication issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional trauma, but welcome other areas of focus as well. My clients can expect to find a safe, judgement-free atmosphere where we can journey together toward lasting solutions. I take cues from my clients to determine how quickly we move forward and in which manner. Together, we can better understand the internal structures driving behavior, and chart a course toward growth and health.

I believe we were created for relationships. Relationships can bring healing, wholeness and happiness. However, despite their powerful role in our life, they can be extremely difficult to manage and can cause us a lot of pain and stress. This is where I hope to be able to help you. I love working with individuals, couples and families to help them on the their road to finding peace and joy in their relationships. At Charis Counseling Associates you will find an accepting and understanding atmosphere where you can be open about the real struggles of life.

I offer a unique blend of faith-based spiritual direction along with competent and experienced mental health counseling and effective treatment planning.
