Teletherapy for Buckman - Portland, OR

I have done some of my best work therapeutically with clients who have a hard time being kind to themselves. I've found that patterns of self-criticism or even self-harm often, though not always, originate in dynamics that were present at home growing up. Challenges from childhood, adolescence and young adulthood can continue to affect your daily life, including your functioning and relationships, and I'm here to help. I'm proud to work with members of the LGBTQ+ communities.

I work with individual adults who are looking to break old patterns, challenge their assumptions, have better relationships, and live life in alignment with their true values. I want to help you explore these patterns and develop curiosity about where they are rooted, so that you can start making new choices about how to respond to familiar emotions and thoughts. I aim to help you get un-stuck and build a more flexible relationship with your emotions. Let's work together to build new neural pathways and learn to cope with all of life's vast unknowns.

Greetings! I'm Brynn Shaver, a dedicated Qualified Mental Health Professional originally hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, now nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Bend, Oregon. My professional journey has been deeply influenced by my own experiences with eating disorders, religious trauma, relationship trauma, and a journey of identity exploration. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the complexities of the human experience and have motivated me to pursue a career in therapy. Through my personal struggles and identity exploration, I've gained invaluable insights into the challenges individuals face.

Hi I am glad you are here. I’m Mike Schwarting, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I believe that therapy is a process of making connections between people. In a chaotic and unsettled world, having a real connection with a knowledgeable, kind, and above all supportive therapist can mean the difference between despair and living the life you deserve.

Natalie (Nat) Day is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduated from Boise State University with a Masters in Social Work in 2018. Over the last decade she has worked in a variety of settings including residential treatment, on-campus college counseling, substance abuse treatment, inpatient psychiatric care, and community mental health. Specializing in the treatment of trauma, addictions, and sexuality (with special focus on kink/BDSM/sex work), her approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing on a variety of evidenced based practices.

Every person has amazing inner strength to overcome challenges, and an innate desire to live a meaningful life. Depression, anxiety and trauma can make us lose sight of our strengths and desires, but that can change with the right support. My practice is grounded in being compassionate, non-judgmental, and giving you the necessary tools to bring balance to your mental health. Together, we’ll focus on changing life-patterns to improve general wellness, while also addressing the underlying causes of your problems.

Currently accepting new clients. Hi, I’m Nicole. I’m a therapist who works with teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also work with members of the LGTBQIA+ and BIPOC communities. My other treatment focuses are bipolar disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), grief, relationship issues, and family conflicts. I am excited to provide you with individualized sessions specific to your current concerns.

If you're seeking grounding and fulfillment, my specialties in depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma are tailored just for you. With unconditional positive regard, gentle reframing, and a customized approach aligned with your values, we'll engage in meaningful work, fostering empowerment and self-love.

You may appear "fine" to those around you, but inside your emotions are growing more and more intense and out of control. You no longer feel the connection you once did with the people who mean the most to you. You're overwhelmed by the constant pressure to meet an ever-increasing number of new expectations and demands. You desperately want to, "just let it go," but you don't know how. You wonder how you got to this place. You're here because you're barely able to keep your head above water and if you don't get help soon, you're afraid you might go under.

We all can benefit from the support therapy offers from time to time. Some reasons people come to me: they may feel stuck in some area of their life; feel confused about who they are or where their life is heading; find that they have trouble showing up fully in relationships or lose themselves in relationships; struggle with feeling okay within themselves; have experienced a loss, and need someplace safe to grieve; feel lost, alone, and not in control of their life; are having difficulty reaching goals; or want to feel more joy, connection, and love in their life.

LGBTQ specialized. I am only available for in person sessions 6 months of the year, May through October. I conduct sessions on-line the remainder of the year. Morning appointments only, year round. Now in private practice, I was a practicing psychologist with the Men's Resource Center and Women's Counseling Center for over 25 years. I specialize in men's issues, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationships (including polyamorous). I also see women in my practice. I have a special interest in helping gay men and women, as I am gay identified myself. I conduct individual and couples' sessions.

Do you struggle with issues related to sex, sexuality, and gender identity? I have worked to specialize in these issues which are frequently considered taboo. I strive to provide a safe and accepting environment for my clients to discover more about their sexuality/gender identity, transform it into what they want, and affirm who they are. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is hard, so I hope to make it a little easier by offering a free consultation to make sure we are a good fit.

As a compassionate clinical psychologist, I understand that life's journey can be challenging. The weight of daily struggles and the echoes of past events can sometimes become overwhelming, leaving you feeling adrift in a sea of confusion, stress, and exhaustion. It's okay to acknowledge these feelings – they're a natural part of being human. However, it's also important to know that you don't have to face them alone. In times of uncertainty and turmoil, psychotherapy offers a path towards clarity, freedom, and relief.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt in your relationships, work, or life more broadly? Do you care deeply about the people in your life, but your relationships could be better? Maybe it's hard to express yourself or trust others. Maybe the thought of conflict or upsetting someone makes you feel ill. Do you have big goals and dreams, but struggle to handle setbacks and disappointments along the way? Perhaps you wonder if you're being too hard on yourself...or not hard enough. Right now, you crave some some external perspective on how you're REALLY doing and how to get where you want to go.

I am honored to work with adolescents and their families. The years from 11-18 are a time of big changes and big questions. Everyone struggles during this developmental phase, but some of us need extra care during this time in order to arrive at adulthood ready to thrive. Parental participation in treatment with me is essential, and I tend to be the best fit for parents wanting to be closer to their child, parents who want to work with their child to heal, or parents who feel they just don't know how to help.

Are you looking to create deeper connections in your relationships? Do you want to improve your communication skills? Are you looking to heal from past trauma? I help clients in increasing positive communication skills, creating healthy boundaries, improving relationships, and in processing past challenging experiences.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT! Are you living your best life? Do you sense your life has become unmanageable? Do you struggle in relationships? If your story contains themes of depression, anxiety, addiction, interpersonal issues or just "seem to be stuck right now"; lets have a conversation to see how I can help you to create a better story. I'm a therapist, but I'm also a parent and wife who makes plenty of mistakes. Luckily, perfection isn't necessary or desirable. It often takes only small, positive changes to yield significant benefits. Things can get better, sometimes quickly, if you begin taking steps in the right direction.

My therapy approach is client centered focusing on choice, strengths and exploration. I am committed to helping children work through issues such as anxiety, transitions, emotional regulation, peer relationships, family conflict and self-esteem. I work primarily with children and adolescents using play, art, sand tray and expressive art therapy interventions. I work closely with families who wish to strengthen their child/parent relationship to help better understand the dynamics that make up a family system. I also work with adoptees and LGBTQ+ youth who struggle with identity issues and help them learn more about who they are.

Hey there, I'm Ben Mosebach and I'm not your typical therapist. I'm not here to offer you clichés or empty promises. What I offer is authenticity, rawness, and the potential to profoundly impact your life. My approach to therapy is straightforward and down-to-earth. Theoretically I am rooted in the humanistic perspectives encompassing aspects of existentialism, gestalt and person centered therapy. But I'm not interested in wasting your time with superficial chatter or jargon-filled language. I'm here to roll up my sleeves and get to work with you, tackling whatever challenges you're facing head-on.
