"You will not experience the silent treatment. I am a board certified psychotherapist providing a wide range of evidence based skills tailor-made for individuals and couples. We'll develop a treatment plan to heal strained relationships, difficult situations, depressive and anxious feelings, career issues. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist I help couples ease into discussions, changing the direction of a conversation from disappointment or divorce to growth. Successful individuals and successful couples know how to re-position their thoughts and feelings to create a better place for themselves in this world."

"I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to talk about issues. Common problems which my clients bring to therapy are depression, family conflict, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, workplace conflict, grief and loss. Often clients are seeking better communication and a lessening of conflict and stress in their lives. I have over 25 years of experience working with adults, couples (straight and gay), families, children, and adolescents. I help new clients identify goals for treatment and together we work out a plan for achieving them. My clinical expertise with various treatment approaches helps clients to realize their desired goals."

"We are all in relationships. We desire connection and want healthy, fun relationships. And the relationship that often frustrates us is our partnership. We assume that this is the place where we find safety and comfort and yet find ourselves feeling confused, misunderstood, hurt or just not heard. Though we know that relationships are complex, we don't really understand why they can be so difficult. As a relationship therapist, I treat couples and individuals and I facilitate your growth so you can have the love you desire. You can start your journey today with a partner or alone."

"It is my experience after practicing over 24 years that it is not so much what you think that is important rather it is how you feel. We are motivated by our feelings. A thought is usually not sufficient to initiate lasting change unless it is connected to a feeling. Psychotherapy is usually sought when the individual is in crisis and feels overwhelmed. When an individual is overwhelmed it is like being overloaded with more hurt then can be lived with. The therapist is a catalyst to help the individual integrate their feelings and thoughts and to live in the present."

"I am particularly effective working with people who come to therapy with histories of childhood trauma, including emotional, sexual and/or physical abuse, and family neglect and/or abandonment. I have a strong commitment to helping men come to grips with the pains, conflicts and deficits in their work and relational lives. At the same time, I believe I can be particularly helpful to women, as a male therapist, in their work with these kinds of issues. I work primarily with individual adults. I have expertise working with a wide range of issues, including substance abuse/dependence, depression and anxiety."

"How does "therapy" work? Psychotherapy works by helping you look at feelings, thoughts and behavior in situations which you find problematic. It helps you to learn more effective ways in dealing with those situations. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort. You and I will identify your goals -- what you want to have happen, and agree on how you'll know when you're making progress. I will talk to you about the length of time it may take to help you see changes. Progress, and change, can happen."

"I have 30 years of experience helping children, adults, couples and families to resolve conflicts, heal from trauma or losses, and create more loving relationships. I enjoy working with children of all ages as well as adolescents. My work with children is enriched by my also being a parenting consultant; I teach parents how to approach problems, intervene effectively, and foster cooperation. I am skilled at assisting people of all ages to recover from abuse, trauma, loss, anxiety and depression and acquire new coping skills and stress management. I design a treatment that fits the goals, needs and strengths of each individual, couple or family."

"Stepping into therapy may be due to depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, sense of unhappiness, sense of emptiness or inability to find much meaning in life and living. It can be a choice we make to explore ourselves today, examine the past or expand on ideas and future dreams. If you are driven to grow, develop and have a natural curiosity in examining life, living and discovering more about your own path, then psychotherapy is one way to engage in series of exploratory dialogues."

"I work with clients mainly using a cognitive behavioral perspective but I also do interpersonal therapy and E.M.D.R. I help my clients work towards the goal of resolving their problems and improving their lives in a meaningful way. Many of my clients suffer from depression and anxiety. I enjoy working with clients needing to cope with grief, loss, and life transitions. I help them to regain their stability and reach a more optimum state of mental health."

"I have had training and experience in several types of therapy; psychodynamic, dream work, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy which uses meditation as a complement. Most of my clients are experiencing depression, anxiety or going through a life crisis/transition. I enjoy using books and readings to concretely extend the therapy to life outside the sessions. A special interest is working with writers to faciliate their creative process. And I find humor is very important in therapy as in life."

"Fear and anxiety touch us all. No matter what role they play in your life, you or your loved one don't have to suffer. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and mindfulness approaches, you can learn to tame those fears versus letting them control you and those around you. Parents and loved ones will learn to best support the sufferer without enabling the fear and anxiety. Whether the sufferer is a child, adolescent, or adult, the goal of treatment is to guide and empower you to be able to overcome anxiety, OCD, and related stress with confidence."

""In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety." - Abraham Maslow. Deciding to make changes in one's life takes courage, and you have taken the first step! My goal is to empower you to find relief from distress and to help you grow in concert with your goals. I specialize in treating a variety of concerns, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, addiction (substance and behavioral), eating disorders, body image issues, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, as well as difficulties with anger management, relationships, interpersonal communication, recovery and relapse prevention."

"This is your first step to gaining relief. Therapy is a place to begin healing and achieve personal growth. I will work hard to provide a safe, non-judgemental, supportive space where you can begin to better understand yourself and work through challenges that are interfering with your life and happiness. Together, we can explore your present and past in order to help you understand your behaviors, patterns, and relationships. From this understanding change begins."

"My expertise lies in working with men transitioning into, or out of, relationships. Moving from single life into relationship with another is a daunting task. How do I maintain my own identity, my own authenticity, and still keep my partner happy? What are good boundaries? How, and when, do I say no? Equally difficult is the shift from partnership into single life. Who am I now? How do I keep a friendship with my ex (or not!) while moving into the dating scene? I've had great success helping my clients succeed and thrive during either of these challenging times."

"Our experiences and environment shape us greatly. They define how we perceive the world, impact our relationships, and contribute to developing our strengths. Sometimes we start to see patterns in our lives that are not in alignment with what we expect or what we want for ourselves. Feelings of despair may emerge. People may feel overwhelmed, anxious, experience loss of pleasure, or perhaps and overall loss of meaning. If you have disturbing memories still impacting you today, if you feel anxious in certain situations or overwhelmed attempting to cope with the difficulties in your life, I may be able to assist."

"Congratulations on taking the first step to improving your life and overall wellbeing! I have been working with children, families, and adults for 10 years. I provide a professional, safe, and supportive environment to explore your circumstances and help you find new coping skills for managing your concerns. Seeking the right therapist can be uncomfortable, so please feel free to contact me to see if I am a good fit for you, your child, or your family!"

"Helping you to recognize and become the best of yourself by: healing early developmental and attachment disruptions that impact your adult life and relationships; using your body to support, change and solidify new resources; being fully present with you so you can be fully present with yourself."

"I have been in private practice for over 25 years now. My specialties are individual and couples therapy, and 12-step program for variety of addictions. Unlike the traditional silent non-directive method of psychotherapy (which is frustrating for most people)I have a very interactive style in sessions and you will get direct feedback from me. I believe in confronting problems head on and taking action for the ultimate victory over the presented issues and getting results. I am practical as well as spiritual in my approach. I have a new method of dealing with anxiety and depression, which is fast and effective."

"I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in Oregon and California. I provide in-person therapy in Portland, and online therapy to clients in Oregon and California, and to clients internationally. I work with depression and anxiety; relationship problems; job difficulties; lack of social support and loneliness; substance abuse; and life transition issues such as the empty nest, aging, illness, care-taking of relatives, and even fundamental questions about identity, death, and the meaning of life. I see the process of psychotherapy as a collaborative inquiry. For further details and information, go to chuckmoshontz.com."

"In your search for a therapist, you will want someone who both understands what you are going through, and who is passionately committed to working with you to figure out where you want to go and how to get there. Therapy is above all a process and journey of self discovery which requires a guide who is patient and supportive, and at the same time encouraging and persistent to help you understand your self and the often hidden patterns of your life and relationships that hold you back."
