It is my intention to help you identify your survival strategies, integrate the wisdom necessary to change, and access more power and ease.

*I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* 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.

My passion is supporting parents! Are you exhausted from your child’s emotional meltdowns and refusals to do what you asked? Are you embarrassed by their public tantrums? I understand because I’ve been there myself. If your child refuses to follow directions, hits, bites, throws things, struggles with attention or is disruptive at school, won't sit still at mealtimes, or refuses to go bed time, I can help with Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Adoptive, foster and kinship families can especially benefit. Affirmative care is provided for LGBTQIA+ families. Your family constellation is understood, accepted, and celebrated.

I provide therapy for men and women around life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, guilt and shame, recovering from physical or sexual abuse, trauma and PTSD, identity and self image, spiritual development and spiritual abuse. I personally and professionally understand the dynamics that accompany many of these life challenges. The art of counseling is in the sensitivity, presence, attunement and humility that a counselor demonstrates when building a relationship with a client.

Welcome to support for the second half of life! If you are dealing with changing health, self-reinvention, or aging, you have found a therapeutic home. Meeting is convenient: You can see me at the Sage Center, at an Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing facility, or work by video or phone - I have provided telehealth since 2005. You can expect compassion based on 40-years experience including career and retirement counseling, LGBTQ advocacy and counseling, inpatient gero-psych, work at care facilities and work with first nations people in 3 countries will allow us to get to the issues quickly and with deep understanding.

Looking for a therapist to meet your particular needs can be a complex process. How do you trust someone with your concerns and issues? No one has all the answers. What I have developed over the years are the compassion, skills, approaches and persistence to help you tailor goals and create plans for your situation. Let's work together to make your life more hopeful, fulfilling and happy. I have spent much of my career working with individuals and adolescents in transition and can help you achieve the same success. I offer my services to residents of California by Tele-behavioral Health and in person in Beaverton, Oregon.

Life transitions often come accompanied by fears and challenges,along with alternatives, and new opportunities for growth. In working with adults,couples, teens, parents and families, and as an experienced bilingual/bi-cultural therapist with fifteen years of practice, I will help you to explore practical and brief solutions to specific problems in order to brake dysfunctional relational patterns that affect you and your loved one's. I will implement and tailor the best treatment plan that fits your needs, taking into an account your cultural background.

~I'm not currently accepting new clients~As an Art Therapist and Counselor, I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, treated with compassion, and have a space where they feel comfortable. I view therapy as a collaborative process; where together we look at the challenges impacting your child, teen, family or life. Together, I will support your development of new strategies and ways of feeling more fulfilled and happy in your relationships and life. I specialized in Perinatal Mental Health which includes: pregnancy, postpartum mood disorders, adjusting to parenthood, infertility, miscarriage and infant loss.

*CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* My name is Nicole Altstadt and I am a Certified Social Work Associate (CSWA). I specialize in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Trauma-informed Care and Neurobiology of Trauma. I primarily work with people who are experiencing depressive or anxious symptoms associated with traumatic experiences. I desire to help people recover from trauma so they can live healthy and fulfilling lives.

I work with adults of all ages, couples, adolescent, and families who are having trouble in their lives with relationships, struggling with daily life, and need someone to help guide them. It is my belief that there is an opportunity for everyone to thrive and to remain connected with others in the process. My approach is to first get to know you in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Once that is established, we then work on a common goal to help improve your daily functioning. I will collaborate with you to assure that the treatment you are getting is what you are seeking.

These last few years have been hard on everyone. Some of you are facing new challenges, some are working through more chronic issues. I am honored to be your guide to building greater connection and meaning in your life. I work with individuals and couples on issues of sexuality, intimacy, and emotional expression. I also work with issues of vicarious trauma and burnout. I can help you reduce the conflict and stress in your life, developing greater resilience in the process.

Change and healing are possible! It takes a lot of courage to ask for help and courage is a powerful strength! A little something you should know about me: I enjoy being a cheerleader in someone's journey and I love helping people dig deep to grow and heal. I have been serving in the mental health field for over 20 years, and offer support through a compassion, strengths, and goal focused approach to help you create the change you seek. I'm available for sessions both in person and via video conference to better meet your needs.

Finding the right match in a counselor is a daunting challenge. It can be stressful to find a competent and caring professional who can listen to your concerns and help you find a way forward. In my experience, people have unique needs, backgrounds, and challenges. Even common mental health challenges like anxiety and depression look different for each person. I therefore collaborate with clients to find an individualized counseling approach that works best for each person. I draw from a variety of counseling theories, including person-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and existential therapy.

Accepting New Telehealth Clients. Struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma, major life transitions or any other of life’s challenges can be overwhelming and even debilitating. Seeking help is both courageous and a big step toward improving your mental health and helping you to lead a happier, more productive life. It is my goal to empower you to become the healthiest version of yourself. I believe that anyone can find their path to hope and healing, and I would be honored to walk the journey with you to get there.

*Not accepting new clients at this time* Have you lost the enjoyment in activities? Do you find yourself alone, even when you're surrounded by people? Is is hard to remember the last time you actually felt good? Let me help, this isn't something that you can just wish or pretend away.

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.
