Therapists in Beaverton, OR

Therapy can be a place for personal growth and insight. We each have a unique history, journey, and growth process. My goal is to support your overall wellness: mental, physical, emotional, and connective. I work with those experiencing a variety of life issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ASD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

My purpose is to help adults of all ages, and their families, improve the quality of their lives. I provide life skills training and psychological therapy to help you accomplish personal goals, gain emotional strength, and further your values. Together we create a good working relationship, where you feel safe openly sharing your experiences, and develop a common understanding of your concerns. That understanding leads to action strategies for the changes you wish to make, relying most on those demonstrated as effective for people with your concerns. We will regularly evaluate how well my services are working for you.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I'm here to help you (and your family) live the best possible life. I'm ready to work hard with you to adjust to change, cope with trauma, build coping skills around depression, anxiety, and help you see yourself in a more compassionate light. I offer in person sessions on Fridays as well as Telehealth to best meet you where you are.

I utilize an integrative approach. This means I will draw upon different training, techniques, and ideas to assist you with your specific goals. I strive to provide a unique form of therapy for you and your unique wants and needs. Common aspects of my integrative approach: Client-centered approach grounded in empathy, genuineness, transparency and an open and non-judgmental attitude; Relational approach as often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others etc.) occupy our thoughts and impacts our mood. We can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” to learn and apply these important lessons;

I approach therapy from a place of curiosity, compassion, honest communication, and non-judgement. All parts of you will be welcomed and valued in our work together. Whether you are processing trauma and painful life experiences, navigating conflict and reactivity in your relationships, grieving a loss or change in your life, feeling overwhelmed or stuck in emotions such as shame, anger, anxiety, depression, unworthiness, disconnection, loneliness, or lack of motivation, I am here to guide you through the process of deepening your relationship to yourself so that you can make meaningful, lasting change that aligns with your values.

Something is just not right. Something needs to change and you're ready to do the work. Making changes creates challenges, and any great effort has the potential for unintentional and unexpected consequences: personal relationships, grief, anxiety, depression. I work with everyone wanting to take these steps, people who want to take accountability and collaborate on a path forward.

Life can be difficult and often requires adjustment. Many of us find we need some help at some point along the way. You are not alone. There is hope and help. I love helping. I love working with those who are motivated to change their lives. I want to help you better understand yourself, and your relationships. I want to help you heal, grow and take responsibility for your life. My goal for clients is for them to acquire the insight, skills, and self-confidence to navigate the terrain of life and relationships more effectively.

Hi, I am Joshua Beavers, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I am excited to work alongside you! I completed a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2015. I have worked with clients in person at various mental health clinics and in a virtual environment since 2015. My focus in sessions is to help clients learn to regulate their emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and build a foundation of skills that will help them with long-term success. I'm always excited to see them recognize the positive changes that can come from meeting with a counselor.

At Sound Heart Integrative Counseling I provide a safe non-judgmental space and listen to you deeply so that I can understand you as a whole person. I offer support in overcoming anxiety and depression, recovering from trauma and emotional injury, developing better relationships and interpersonal skills, obtaining greater self-knowledge, nurturing faith, and reconnecting with your Divine Nurturer. I provide this type of counseling support so that you can feel better, live a more meaningful life, and become a resilient and beautiful contributor to your family and society.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of child abuse, grief, and trauma, but also have substantial experience working with various anxiety and depression issues. I primarily use mindfulness based therapy, but also take an individualized approach to each client. It is very important to me to work collaboratively with you so we can make therapy as useful and valuable to you as possible.

Connection. My goal is to first get to know you. To understand what it is that you are needing to get your life on the most helpful trajectory. Maybe you're anxious, depressed or experiencing loss. Or maybe for you it's that you feel disconnected from your teenager or you're a teen irritated by your parents. Recently married at the young age of 30, I also have some insight in working through relationships as well. I will work to help you interact with all the pieces of your life that contribute to your struggle. This might include your social life, family life and spiritual life.

I am currently meeting with clients virtually and in-person at a location near downtown Beaverton. When therapy is conducted in a warm and non-judgmental environment, and an individual, couple, or a family feels safe and understood, it can be incredibly powerful in providing healing and growth from life's difficult past experiences as well as current challenges. As a strengths-based and client-centered LMFT, I work to create a safe place where a client's existing internal strengths are explored and they are able to create goals that build towards healing, growth, awareness, and positive change.

Hearts and life can become complex, and I believe your heart can be set free from all that holds it back and causes it to stumble. I am convinced that your heart is unique and exquisitely beautiful. You have a great destiny and it would be my privilege to help discover what it is. Sound too good to be true? Does your heart feel in pain? Have you been numbing that pain, exploding with anger when you wish you would “hold it in,” or isolating from relationships? Your heart has its reasons for feeling the way it does. Let's begin either in person or via phone or video. I work with couples and individuals.

(Please note that I am currently located in Illinois and can only offer video or phone sessions). It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I also work with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially and work with high functioning autistic individuals.

I am accepting new clients. Often we seek counseling when we’re not feeling like ourselves. Many people can struggle with the gap between logical knowing, “I know I’m a good person” and emotional experience, “But I don’t feel like I am”. A primary focus of my approach is to close that gap and integrate outdated beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. I work well with folks who have a foundational understanding of therapy or who have gotten stuck in the talk therapy circuit. I practice Internal Family Systems (IFS), AKA “Parts work”. This process creates more self-leadership, more self-compassion, and deepens clarity.

My areas of expertise include depression, relationship problems, difficulties managing emotions, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, adolescent issues, ADHD, loss, and family of origin issues. I also enjoy helping individuals with identity development issues, including those related to culture, gender, sexuality, and important life transitions.

I specialize in youth/adolescents and younger adults, particularly those with Anxiety, AD/HD, and/or Depression, or just life challenges. I do individual and family therapy, depending on the needs. I work with younger adults who have struggles with failure to launch, college coping struggles, or adults struggling with Anxiety, Depression, and/or AD/HD. Also, if you are having struggles with parenting or helping your child with their struggles; I have specialized in working in these areas for over 15 years. Feel free to contact to see if we are a good fit! I am doing Telehealth and In person sessions.

I see individuals, couples and families who are seeking support for things they feel are not going well in their lives. From the Family Systems perspective, any number of issues can be looked at together. My work is centered around interpersonal relationships and how we interact with each other, our selves and our communities. Relationship dynamics are constantly in and out of balance. Managing these relationships is key in helping develop healthy ways of dealing with life issues. The work we do together should feel helpful and focused on your goals.
