In psychotherapy, I, Jarrad Malamed, an LGBTQIA-identified therapist, prioritize diversity and inclusivity. Through an integrative approach blending interpersonal, relational, gestalt, experiential, and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT), I aim to customize healing and growth experiences for my clients. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on relationships' impact on mental well-being, emphasizing communication, conflict resolution, and healthy boundaries. Relational therapy explores past and present relationship dynamics, aiding clients in understanding attachment styles and fostering authentic connections.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker in the Beaverton area offering counseling services to individuals, couples and families. My therapeutic style is direct and interactive as I help clients overcome difficulties they may be experiencing in life and relationships.

My name is Kathleen Barnes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from University of Southern California with my MSW in children, family and military clinical social work. I have experience working with diverse populations using many counseling techniques to include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma therapy, Motivational therapy and Brief Intervention Solution-based focused therapy. My experience is with individuals that struggle from stress and anxiety from everyday life to severe or mild mental health symptoms and trauma/PTSD.

I believe that each of us has an inner wisdom that can guide us through life's most difficult challenges. At times our inner voice is strong and clear, whereas at other times it is faint and obscure. Psychotherapy can help us discover and clarify who we are, what we need, the direction we want to go and the form we want our lives to take. I assist my clients in clarifying their thoughts, feelings, perceptions and values, ultimately resulting in positive changes in their relationships and lives.

I work with persons who are having adjustment difficulties, and who experience stress and anxiety while making life transitions. I treat sexual difficulties or lifestyle issues from a sex positive perspective. I work with wishing to change specific habits (smoking, overeating, etc.); or to reduce stress and anxiety. I also work with those who have culturally unpopular or unsupported life styles, and who experience conflict, marginalization, or disempowerment.

I believe that much of what we think, feel, and believe is outside of our immediate awareness. Much of the time we think our conscious mind is 'driving the bus' so to speak, yet it is our unconscious that grips the wheel and drives us down roads we have unwittingly been down many times before. We develop beliefs of the self, of others, and of the world in general based on experiences we have earlier in life, often outside of our current awareness. These unexamined beliefs can prevent us from experiencing ourself and others in a healthy and authentic manner.

Establishing a sense of wholeness and direction in our lives is often revealed once obstacles are known and cleared. This process of self discovery is far more potent and transformational when working with a therapist who can help navigate these unfamiliar places. My practice is largely informed by the personal experience of profound grief. Journeying through these difficult waters allows me to uniquely empathize and assist my clients through life struggles and losses.

I am a female therapist who is committed to cultivating a confidential space for you and I to explore your internal compass and the direction it leads.

What makes you unique? Why are you here, and why do you feel clarity and confidence with some people (and in certain situations) and with others it's a struggle? No, there's nothing 'wrong' with you, and I know how it can feel that way, especially when things get challenging. My specialty is showing you what's "right" about you and offering grounded, practical tools you can use right away to transform your inner world and your outer results with loved ones and on the job. I especially love working with professionals who would like to feel successful in ALL areas of their life, not just at home or at work.

Feeling connected to who you are and those around you. Trusting yourself in the midst of hard decisions. Gaining purpose and prioritizing self-care. Creating and maintaining healthy relationships. All of this can feel impossible to accomplish when life is filled with uncertainty, change and exhaustion. Your confidence may feel lower. Your self-trust may feel inaccessible. You may be feel overwhelmed, confused and exhausted by the job of being a parent. Together we can co-create an environment that is conducive to sifting through these concerns while sustainably enacting change in these areas of your life.

Are you highly sensitive? Emotionally repressed? Strong stoic one? It is OKAY to FEEL! Life is hard, perfection is a mirage, and overthinking can trap us. Growing up, maybe you were told being vulnerable was weak. That you had to be "perfect." Let's change that! It's time to rediscover the beauty of imperfection. It's in practicing vulnerability that our true power emerges. Let's excavate your mind, dismantle barriers brick by brick, so that you can discover the strength in "flaws." You are enough. Embrace your emotions, deepen your connections, and discover your true voice. Let's the journey toward self-acceptance and joy begin!
