Teletherapy for Salem, OR

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling. I believe in a collaborative relationship exploring issues and creating ways to improve personal growth. I have a Person Centered approach to reflect, validate, and support each client as they journey through their counseling experience. I enjoy working with Client to identify their goals and support them as they heal.

I specialize in couples and family therapy and working with adolescents. I also offer testing services, performing assessments for educational, developmental or forensic needs. For many years I have been offering support and compassion to my clients as I have worked with them to find solutions to a wide range of life's problems. My approach is practical and solution focused. I begin by helping each client tackle their immediate challenges, developing their strengths and helping to make the needed internal and environmental changes necessary for long lasting results and healing. I look forward to talking with you.

Hello! I believe strongly that different things work for different people at different times. I will collaborate with you in the direction to take to achieve goals for therapy.

Looking for a therapist can be complicated, so let's keep it simple: I treat individual clients and couples. I primarily treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have a long history of supporting Autistic and ADHD folks - neurodivergency of all kinds is welcome here! I believe that most problems have their roots in the past, have the opportunity to be changed in the present, and can provide us the key for a hopeful future. If you are looking for a quiet and accepting place that can help you create thoughtful and sustainable changes, my office is a great place to be.

There are times when it is difficult to see a way forward, and discovering who we are, where we came from and what has transpired in our lives is vitally important. If you are here, my guess is that you may be grieving a loss, struggling to accept difficult life changes like divorce or separation, or perhaps dealing with anxiety. Whatever the circumstances, it is my desire to see you rediscover happiness and purpose-- I wholeheartedly believe that therapy can help you get there.

Walking alongside you as you seek therapy is my passion. Helping those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver burn out, health care complexities or a life limiting illness that may be impacting your quality of life, is the focus of my practice. Please anticipate some homework as you work with me. My practice focuses on individual counseling but at times, when we agree it will be helpful, integrates other family members.

Discovering who we are, where we came from and what has transpired in our lives is vitally important in understanding how we relate to others and the world around us. My approach to counseling utilizes the Family Systems Model and Cognitive-Behavioral techniques.  I believe our past experiences and environments help us to develop how we think and respond to life’s stresses.  This is where CBT can be helpful in changing false thinking and negative responses. As a client understands themselves and their current situation they can change their thinking process and subsequently their behaviors.

I believe that every person, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences, can lead purposeful and fulfilling lives with the proper support. We do the best with what we have, and too often life presents significant challenges we are forced to adapt to. Sometimes the patterns that were helpful to get through our childhood present major challenges later in life. Our symptoms do not make us abnormal and are not part of a fundamental flaw that needs fixing, they are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family patterns, and learned behaviors.

Now accepting new clients for our Salem and Beaverton offices. At Compassionate Comfort Counseling, LLC we provide accessible and personalized mental health counseling and therapy, either in-person or virtually. We offer individual, couple, and family therapy sessions.

It is hard to share your life story with just anyone, but be rest assured that you will be treated with the utmost respect in my care. Having a trusting relationship with your counselor is one of the most important aspects of counseling effectiveness and something you can count on when working with me! My focus is strength based individual, couple, and family counseling. I see healthy relationships with self and others as the foundation to well being.

NEW clients can schedule TODAY! Are you suppressing feelings of anxiety or depression, and hoping it will go away? Maybe your relationships or career are starting to suffer, or you are simply tired of feeling your life is out of control. If you are ready to receive support, I can help. I specialize in working with people who are looking for relief from feelings of anxiety and depression and healing relationships with family and friends. By working together, I can help you develop coping skills and strategies to feel more hope and peace about your future and to set healthy boundaries with the people you care about the most.

*Open and seeing clients by Telehealth.* Is life becoming challenging, overwhelming, confusing, unfair, and more? I understand! I have over 25 years of experience supporting people struggling with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma & PTSD, grief & loss, life changes, abuse, and more. I personally and professionally understand the dynamics that accompany many of these life challenges.

I believe that at the root of many of our struggles is a deep desire to be listened to. My therapeutic work is based on the idea that people by nature are relational beings with physical, spiritual, emotional, and social components, and that the exploration and integration of these aspects can be life changing and enhancing.

I have served in the mental health field for nearly two decades, assisting countless people overcome challenges and lead more fulfilling lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor assisting. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence - based interventions. I also use EMDR to assist clients experiencing the emotional and physical impact of traumatic events.

Are you depressed, anxious or stressed? Depression, stress, anxiety and relationship problems are the focus of my practice. If you are struggling to make your life work or in a life transition involving your relationship, family or career, I will work with you to improve the quality of your life and to achieve your goals.

As a supportive therapist I am dedicated to helping people achieve their goals, enabling them to make important changes in their lives to improve their relationships, reduce anxiety, stress and depression. I offer a diverse approach to therapy to meet the needs of each individual, couple or family I work with and am committed to providing the essential support, compassion and empathy that they need to restore their sense of self and improve personal happiness, self esteem and self confidence.

You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.

My name is HaYaun, and I am a Clinical Social Work Associate working in Oregon. My professional background involves graduating with a Master’s in Social Work from Portland State University in 2019, working in an inpatient psychiatric setting to support clients experiencing serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), and working with families experiencing various mental health needs. I also have experience working with veterans, children, families, people of color, and I offer Korean-speaking sessions when needed.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal and lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Everyone does the best with what they have and that life presents significant challenges and all of our behaviors makes sense in context. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family or relational systems, circular patterns, external systems, and learned behaviors that once had a functional purpose but no longer do. I consider health to be the culmination of mental, physical, spiritual, and relational states, and I will work from this inclusive and holistic perspective.
