Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

At this time I am seeing clients remotely and doing video sessions; I do not do text or email therapy. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship stress using evidence based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Informed Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My goal is to help you build skills to navigate the stressors you face.

We are centered on helping you build skills to love and live well. Living Well Counseling Center provides personalized care for each individual, couple, and family.

I’m a nationally board-certified & Oregon licensed music therapist, and registered professional counselor associate. I care deeply about connection, and helping people discover and accept their genuine inner self through creative arts and psychotherapy. I am currently working under the supervision of Andrew K Lundgren, M.A., LMFT, LPC at Dirkse Counseling & Consulting, Inc., in working towards my full licensure. In addition to therapy, I also offer neurodivergent-affirming assessment for Autism and ADHD. My assessment type cannot be used to obtain certain disability services. Please note there is a waitlist for assessment services.

Emotional connection is crucial for thriving and satisfying relationships. Shame and trauma can keep us stuck in negative cycles of thought and behavior. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups within the context of their current and prior relationships. I primarily employ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Restoration Therapy (RT) techniques.

It is not too late to find what you are looking for by learning new patterns. In fact, it's the perfect time. You can find clarity and create a life that feels peaceful and whole.

Hello my name is Katie and it is nice to meet you. I am currently taking new patients, teens 14 and older, and adults in Oregon and Washington. I have served in the field for 12 years and welcome populations of all demographics, ethnicities and cultures. I have extensive experience in school based settings assisting with issues such as complex trauma, self harm, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, life transitions, divorce, adoption, children in the foster system, parent coaching, and other issues.

Do you feel that your teenager needs additional help? Are you struggling to connect with them? Are you at a loss for what to do? I can help. I believe that everyone needs connection; sometimes when we're going through a hard time, we need support! Many of my individual clients struggle with anxiety or poor self image. Using principles of restoration therapy and IFS, I help individuals build a healthy self image and develop coping strategies to handle anxiety and depression.

Therapy takes courage and honesty. My goal is to facilitate and help navigate the specific and unique obstacles you are presented with. I want to share the right tools and skills that will help you navigate future dilemmas. I am here to help how I can, and have specific focus on depression, anxiety, and self-esteem problems. While not helping others in therapy, I enjoy reading, talking with friends and family, learning new things, trying new foods, cooking with my wife, and keeping up with my todler daughter’s zest for life.

I have deep compassion for you and the struggles you face. I believe that each person has the wisdom they need to navigate their own life, yet at times we all need support in accessing and embodying that wisdom. My passion lies in helping individuals reconnect with the resilient core of their authentic selves by providing a safe relational space for exploration. As a therapist, it's my pleasure to accompany clients on their journey to explore intricate patterns that may be difficult to recognize, understand, and process without help.

As a child and family therapist, I focus my services on working with adolescents, adults, and families. It's my goal to help you achieve healing and strength through emotional support, unconditional regard, and specialized techniques. I am a proactive and hands-on therapist.

I work with a solution focused framework, which means that we will set goals and work hard to achieve them in a reasonable amount of time.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. If you are Neurodiverse, BIPOC or a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, you are welcome here. I offer a safe, non-judgemental haven and space for those seeking understanding and validation. I believe in allowing individuals to externalize their issues rather than internalize them while also developing skills and a sense of purpose to navigate through difficult times.

Getting started in therapy can feel daunting and I can help to make that experience easier for you. My clients most frequently describe me as genuine, easy to talk to, and compassionate. I understand that we all cope in different ways and welcome having periods of light conversation and humor along the way. I strive to genuinely get to know you and help you identify what is causing your distress, so we can work towards resolving it. I help my clients learn and strengthen the skills needed to navigate difficult life experiences more efficiently.

Welcome! I imagine you want to better understand yourself and get to the root of your issues. You want to learn new skills and coping strategies. You also realize that psychotherapy when done well takes time, patience, and a certain amount of energy. You know that therapy will not always feel good and that fully experiencing one's emotions is essential for growth and well-being. You want to feel seen and heard by your therapist in a non-judging and non-shaming manner. You want your therapist to see your higher potentials and to hold healing intentions towards your growth and change.

Accepting New Clients‭‭ Serenity Mental Health is an independent practice of caring Mental Health Professionals who understand that life’s challenges can be daunting and that people deserve quality mental health care that addresses their individual needs. Together, with a member of our licensed professional staff we will develop a plan to address hardships in a supportive and compassionate manner.

What I help with: life transitions, college mental health, faith transitions, spiritual trauma, mixed-faith marriages, relationship issues, and complex grief. I work with individuals and couples.

I believe that each person exists in relationship with themselves, and that this informs the ways that they exist in relationship to others. Naming and identifying the feelings that cause us to react versus respond is hard work! Through hearing your story, we can begin to identify how you react from places of pain, and over time, identify ways that you can respond from places of peace. This will allow you to build a sense of self that aligns with your values, be more effective in your relationships, and address any "stuck points" that are impacting your life.
