Everyone needs a little help now and then. By exploring counseling services for yourself or a loved one, you are already making steps toward a positive change. We all have unique strengths and strategies that have carried us through life to this moment.

Mindy Amita Aisling
CPC
I specialize in coaching individuals who are ready to break free from the patterns and stories that hold them back, own the truest most beautiful version of themselves, and confidently create a life they love. I offer online courses and private life coaching from a whole-ness perspective, which means that I believe that you already are perfect, whole, and complete and there is nothing about you that needs to be 'fixed'. The truth is that we all need to learn 'How to Be Human' - the vital skills for living an authentic life that we were never taught in school.

I take a non-judgmental, caring, person-centered and collaborative approach to facilitating therapy. I take a holistic approach to therapy as the body and mind are interconnect. When a person's body or mind are not at 100% the other tends to start to become a challenge.

Alan Werkman LCSW - Child and Family Counseling
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

My approach is collaborative, ie, we figure out together what's going on and how best to work towards better outcomes. My patients are children, adolescents and their families, couples and adults - young and old. I have a good deal of experience with acting-out behaviors, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma-based behaviors. While some difficulties can be more skillfully dealt with, I am skeptical that life's problems can be 'resolved' forever and ever. Emotions and thoughts will forever arise, offering endless opportunities to learn different responses, ultimately transforming habitual reactions into conscious responses that work better for us.

Maybe past events or patterns of behavior are contributing to the issues you are experiencing?

Are you reeling from the gut punch of pornography or an affair? Hope is here! Born from the trenches of personal struggle, my favorite work is with those who have been impacted by the trauma of sexual addiction, infidelity, and betrayal. Drawing strength and wisdom from my personal journey into sexual brokenness, together we will walk with truth and integrity into your story to a safe place where grief and kindness intersect. Tenderly and gradually sharing our story with honesty and being truly heard by another offers a way to see and understand that which keeps us from being able to give and receive love.

I became a therapist to help people recover from the traumas they have suffered in a world riddled with abuse. I want to share hope, like someone once did for me and lead others to a more full life when it seems impossible. If you're looking at this now, chances are you're in a really difficult space and looking for answers. I hope that we can meet and figure out your unique answers together, rewrite the story of you so that you can build the life you want.

I believe that the foundation upon which an individual's emotional, psychological, and physical health may thrive is determined by the strength of that individual's relationship with "self". My treatment style is holistic and integrated, its core components being that of empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. My areas of practice include relational issues experienced throughout the lifespan, trauma, moral injury, sexual/gender issues, and issues pertaining to chronic illness and addiction. I provide services for those within the military culture, LGBTQI community, and for caretakers experiencing compassion fatigue.

Relationships are beautiful and they are also incredibly challenging. Sometimes our deepest connections and relationships can experience unintentional wounding. This can be as a result of a variety of things inherently coming up for us that we may not yet realize or understand. As a PACT trained couple's therapist I provide a deep level of attunement to couples in session to locate tender spots and any underlying issues. I provide a space where couples can connect and be seen and heard by one another and ultimately move towards functioning securely together. Let's get you unstuck, out of old patterns and onto the same team, again.

What type of Bend mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
