Being human isn't always easy, no matter how much we would like it to be.

I offer a compassionate space that honors all of the emotions and experiences my clients bring to the room, and allow them to process at their own pace, while encouraging them to face difficult things.

Danette Buchanan is a Pastoral Counselor who practices in Beaverton, Oregon. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a graduate of Liberty University (Ph.D, 2022) and Loyola University (M.S., 2009) ​Danette's therapeutic approach is Rational Emotive Therapy. REBT is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy whereby individuals identify, challenge, and dispute irrational beliefs.

However, Danette also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing, and DBT.

Being partnered can be expansive and wonderful and lonely and disorientating and sometimes all these things at once. Couples come to therapy for a number of reasons and the hope is to get a better understanding of who the couple is by unpacking how they came to be. Some common reasons for couples work is life transitions, work life balance, failing to connect, infertility/ivf/adoption, parenting styles and differences, infidelity, contemplating long term commitment and orchestrating morals and values of self and then as the couple together.

I work with individuals, couples , and families to help them solve problems and achieve their life goals. I understand both the frustration and joy of marital relationships and parenting and can help you find fulfillment in your relationships. When one person in a family has a problem, every family member is affected. Through family counseling, the strengths of each individual can be brought together to resolve problems and improve the connections each person needs.
