Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Portland, OR

I believe there is hope for you, no matter what you are struggling with, or how intense your suffering is. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidenced-based treatments that empower people to learn, grow, and heal. I value psychotherapy that addresses the whole person. My goal is to help people overcome difficulties, reach their potential, and effect real and lasting change.

I believe we each need to be understood, valued, and accepted exactly as we are. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming relationship where we can collaboratively explore who you are, how you came to be, and who you hope to become as we work together toward your goals. I bring a holistic perspective that emphasizes healing in relationship and integration of mind & body. In session this might look like practicing mindfulness, learning nervous system regulation tools, exploring attachment, or practicing communication. My hope is that therapy can empower you to live authentically, accept yourself more fully, and cultivate belonging.

Hello!! Thank you for stopping by my profile. I provide therapy to older adolescents and adults. My specialized training and treatment focus is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, suicidal ideation and self-harm. These types of therapies focus on teaching skills to manage overwhelming emotions and behaviors you would like to change. While making changes is important, my practice is heavily influenced by mindfulness, acceptance and compassion.

Throughout her clinical professional experience, she has worked with individuals across the spectrum including (but not limited to) depressive disorders, anxiety and panic, PTSD, postpartum mental health, self-esteem/identity conflicts, psychosis, mania, adjustment issues, parenting, substance use, relationship conflicts and loss.

Neuroscience has taught us that "the mind" is encapsulated not only in the head; it exists throughout the whole body. As a holistic practitioner, I am interested in how you can learn to listen to the wisdom and cues of your inner knowing, beyond just what your thoughts tell you, and mend the relationship between mind/body. We all have the ability to grow and transcend from our past and present wounds and turn them into sources of empowerment and healing. I greet identity work, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues with positive psychology and feminist therapy frameworks to aim towards your sense of liberation.

Hi, My name is Liam Shannon (He/Him). I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping people feel less overwhelmed and controlled by their emotions. I received my masters degree in mental health counseling from Lewis & Clark in 2018. Over the past 6 years, I have provided counseling to a wide variety of clients, including those experiencing difficulty regulating emotions, chronic suicidal ideation, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I take an integrative approach to counseling, often drawing on my background in dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.

I am currently accepting clients. I am passionate about and have experience working with individuals in marginalized populations, individuals wanting to manage their anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping individuals through DV/IPV.

I find it a privilege to work with adult clients with a variety of issues (anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and trauma) but I am especially interested in older couples. I have experience in gerontology and have been a couples therapist since 2003. My approach with couples is eclectic but includes the work of John Gottman, David Burns, Prepare/Enrich, DBT, and Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (aka The Work of Byron Katie). And with individuals I do EMDR and other modalities. My background orientation is firmly rooted in Gestalt Therapy. Sometimes therapy with me is brief and other times we dive deep depending on your needs.

You have found your way to my profile because you are seeking relief— from body dissatisfaction and chronic dieting, anxiety, or from feeling exhausted of chasing perfectionism and always playing by the "rules" of life. On the outside your life may appear totally put together, but deep down you are yearning to feel more deeply connected to yourself and others. I commonly work with young and mid-life adults who are navigating life transitions and challenges with relationships, parenthood, and career. I am glad you have made your way to my profile, because I wholeheartedly believe you can feel more grounded, connected, and whole.

Clients typically work with me on life transitions and/or trauma healing. Life transitions (for example: graduation, divorce, moving, coming out, or social and/or medical gender transition) can be destabilizing but also an opportunity to explore our patterns, values, and goals. Trauma healing can be an intimidating process. Many of the people I work with have tried many things to help shift their patterns, change their narratives about themselves and the world, feel safer, and develop a sense of belonging in this world.

In both my work and personal life, I am a firm believer in the benefits of therapy and the ability to integrate our challenges into our lives to create new and healthy dynamics. I am warm, creative, affirming, and direct as a therapist. I believe personal growth is a collaborative endeavor that requires caring, free from judgment. I work with individuals across the lifespan and have experience in a variety of mental health treatment settings.

Madison has numerous years of experience working with individuals, families, couples, and systems, all who bring their own unique lived experiences including Queer, first responders, trauma survivors and those who experience emotional intensity. She aims to help individuals/families/systems build skills and find their path to the life they are wanting to live. This means together, you will work to identify and utilize strategies to best handle whatever life throws your way.

I truly believe no one should ever have to walk alone through incredibly difficult seasons of life. I approach therapy as a collaboration, rooted in understanding each person as an individual in the context of their family, history, culture, and daily life. My therapeutic style is collaborative and tends to incorporate warmth, humor, and honest feedback. I am motivated to help every client learn healthy ways of getting through mental and emotional difficulties. I'll be there with dedicated compassion, empathy, and nonjudgmental care.

We offer therapy and medication management for depression, anxiety, child/family issues, trauma, ADD, and a wide range of other concerns. We can bill most OHP plans in the metro area for therapy and medication management services.

Current Openings! EMDR available! This life can be hard and the things we go through can have a profound impact on how we navigate life, no matter how big or small. My practice is especially attuned to the needs of individuals and communities who have been othered or exist on the periphery, whether due to their identity, relationship structure, or lifestyle choices. Neurodiversity, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+, you are welcome here. From navigating non-monogamy and polyamory to exploring kink-positive dynamics and body-affirming philosophies, I offer a safe haven for those seeking understanding and validation.
