Samaritan Health Therapists in Corvallis, OR

Sorry I am not able to accept new clients at this time. I have been a clinician for over 40 years and offer energy psychotherapy and counseling to adults & teens for anxiety, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, depression, medical problems, phobias, smoking cessation, stress, substance abuse, trauma resolution, allergies, and other issues. Energy psychology is a gentle approach to resolving problems. It often offers a quicker and deeper resolution than talk therapy alone can provide.

I believe therapy is about exploring what is important in your life, investigating your day-to-day and year-to-year living, and taking care of yourself. The pandemic has left a lot of people feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or even just blue. Maybe you felt this way before COVID, as well. That's okay! If you feel ready then it's a good time for therapy. I most commonly work with anxiety, depression, trauma, career issues, and life transitions through an eclectic therapy with roots in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Person-Centered Therapy. I also use some CBT and DBT skills.

My goal is to meet you and your family where you are at. You are the expert on you and your family's needs.

I have been a licensed counselor since 1998. Areas of experience include working with children, adolescents and adults focusing on rebuilding and/or developing the ability to navigate life's challenges.

I use traditional talk therapies such as Contextual Family Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also have pursued certification programs in Hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programing, Professional Life Coaching and Neurobiofeedback as well as other continuing education courses required by NBCC and Oregon.

Jude Walsh Social Worker, LCSW We seek out therapy in order to improve our lives by both creating the life we want and by pursuing the potential of who we could be. Challenges to achieving our potential can be complicated and troublesome and therapy can help to identify the parts that are unhelpful and unworthy of us and to develop a plan with actionable steps to address them. Therapy can assist to determining our strengths, values, goals and priorities as well as to identify what variables are present when happiness manifests. It will also answer the question ‘what am I doing right’?

—I have limited availability at this time.— At different times in our lives, we may find ourselves challenged or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, our relationships, our careers, our health, or transitions. It is during these challenges, that a trusting relationship with a counselor can give the dynamic support, to sort through our thinking, feeling, and patterns of behavior. Through this mindful work we may begin to see ourselves and our options in a new way. This offers the opportunity to grow and regain balance in our lives creating new strategies for a balanced life and conscious relationships.

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

I work with individuals who are struggling with stress, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, self-exploration, self-compassion, anxiety, and ADHD.
