Teletherapy for Beaverton, OR

I believe therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. My role is to provide a safe environment where client views are respected, and strengths are emphasized. I take a whole-body approach to healing while incorporating history and CBT techniques.

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.

Accepting new clients, 18+. Empowering clients to listen to their core self so you can more openly make decisions based on your priorities and goals is at the heart of the therapy work we will do together. I have often been told by clients that I have a way of addressing difficult topics or giving perspective in a way that is compassionate, strength-based, skill focused. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space that is full of encouragement, acknowledgement and welcomes feedback to inform progress potential is a commitment I remain steadfast in. I incorporate several modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and ACT.

Accepting NEW Clients (ages 18-65) as of 4/24/24 for Medication Management (I am not taking clients for therapy). Appointments are available in 2 weeks. Complete the Patient Inquiry Form on my website. You will receive a response the same or next day. My practice is primarily composed of adults struggling with anxiety and depression. I find that people reach out to treatment when excessive worry, low motivation, and negative thinking can lead to feeling less confident in their work, behind on tasks at home, and impacting their relationships. I don't treat ADHD and I don't prescribe controlled substances, such as Xanax for anxiety.

Do you feel at times like the weight of your world is on your shoulders and you are barely able to breathe? Do you feel stuck in your life not knowing which direction to turn because you have lost yourself in the stressors of life? Are you someone who has just wanted to be heard, validated, and empowered to believe in yourself? We all experience these feelings, and you have taken the first step in your healing journey. Allow me to walk alongside you and support you from a non-judgmental, compassionate, empathetic and safe space. You are the expert in your life, and you know deep down inside what you envision for your life.

I believe that throughout our lives we are seeking to deepen our self-awareness, learn & grow from our experiences, & aim to break patterns of behavior that are no longer benefiting us. While we’re doing the best we can with the knowledge we have, there may be times we need additional support. I understand the complexities that come with exploring our inner world & believe it takes a lot of bravery, strength & vulnerability to peel back the curtain & take a look inside; especially when the idea of doing so feels scary, confusing, or impossible. I aim to provide services that are tailored to fit your unique needs & goals for therapy.

Hi there! I’m Michelle Ficalora, and I’m a mental health clinician intern here at Positive Inner Self, working towards becoming a LCSW. I’m currently a Clinical Social Work Associate. My pronouns are she/they, and I am trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ allied. I specialize in working with clients of all ages, helping to address both the symptoms and root causes of your stressors in individual or group sessions. I’ll help guide you on the way to reaching your goals, using humor, play, and light physical engagement to keep things moving.

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 am passionate about exploring your story at your own pace and helping you become unstuck, feel alive, and move towards the "you" that you know you can be. If life is currently difficult for you, allow me to provide guidance, support, accountability, and a therapeutic relationship. I specialize in EMDR therapy and find it an effective way to process difficult target memories that are stuck in our minds. For any life challenge that you are experiencing, let's get started addressing the root problem.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in English Literature from Portland State University. I received my Masters of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis and Clark College, with an additional certificate from their Eating Disorders track. I have worked as a mental health therapist over 10 years, working with a wide variety of people including those with severe and persistent mental health challenges. My clinical experience includes day treatment, residential, outpatient and school settings. Malama in Hawaiian means Caring for so my motto is "Caring for People."

I help people living with depression, self-identity struggles, grief, trauma and have experience working within LGBTQIA+ and ethical non-monogamous communities. The children I see have/are experiencing abuse, behavior concerns, and life stressors. My role as a therapist is to offer authentic and genuine reflections and to help strengthen your mental capacity and confidence to handle internal and external stressors. I believe we all have a story to tell, some intertwined with tragedy and challenges, and that our time together is for you to tell yours. Note: I don't work with insurance companies; only out of pocket.

Hello, I am a registered associate counselor with my MA in clinical mental health counseling and I am working toward becoming a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oregon. I have experience working with adults dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, emotion regulation, social concerns, relationship issues, life transitions, hearing or seeing things that aren’t there, trauma, and paranoia. I also enjoy collaborating with clients to find balance in areas of their lives and working toward building a life that the client feels is meaningful and worth living.

The people I love to work with are people who often feel left out, struggle identifying who they are, want to learn how to more effectively communicate and those who understand that therapy is messy. We will both say the wrong thing sometimes and that's okay. The issues I love supporting people with are struggles with emotion regulation, relationship skills, processing attachment struggles, un-enmeshing from family, and more. I am a queer, millennial with ADHD - this forms who I am and my work. It's important to me to partner with others based on who they are and to make space for their unique needs.

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;

In a world that encourages the creation of a chaotically tough exterior, I want to work with you to find your strength in peace and softness. Being vulnerable is often very scary, but bravery is defined by facing your fears, not by the absence of them. It is my goal to provide a space where you feel safe enough to tap into your own power and help you cultivate the assertiveness needed to create a life of your design, something we all deserve but rarely give ourselves permission to have.

Please note I am only intermittently able to accept new clients at this time but am happy to converse via email to determine if I have space available. I have extensive experience writing letters and coordinating care for gender diverse individuals undergoing medical transition. I enjoy working with all ages, the LGBT+ population, and am especially experienced in working with individuals experiencing autism spectrum disorder, gender dysphoria, eating disorders, and have a history of trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, bilingual in Farsi (Persian), with over thirteen years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges an individual faces in life including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, relationship and parenting issues, work and academic stress as well as acculturation & immigration issues.

Making the decision to seek professional help takes courage when feeling overwhelmed and sometimes hopeless that nothing will change. I believe therapy works and can help make that change easier and quicker than you might think. I work with individuals, families and children with compassion, persistence and skills to identify these changes and create a plan that is designed for you. My clients are families that may be facing a difficult transition or grief, a child or teen anxious, withdrawn, angry or out of control. Parents that are exhausted, feeling overwhelmed, and fearful of what is happening to their child.
