Adults Therapists in Dallas, OR
You know that clear life plan you had when you were younger? Not going so well? Has it been dashed, changed, trampled on, destroyed or forgotten? Yah, I get that. I'm guessing that's why you are here. It's hard to know what to do when you feel overwhelmed and alone. In this stage so many of us also experience shame....that one is a doozy! But there is hope and a way forward.

I specialize in working with adults, and most of my clients are going through a career transition, for a variety of reasons
My counseling style is humanistic, an approach that focuses on promoting self-awareness, personal growth, and self-discovery by emphasizing a client's inherent worth and potential. It views individuals as inherently good and capable of self-directed change and growth. I create a safe and supportive environment where my clients can explore and grow.

I work with youth, families, and adults.
I am currently offering both virtual and in person care. My office is located in downtown Dallas, OR. My goal is to make care accessible to those who need it. Providing virtual care cuts down on your time spent driving to appointments, waiting in waiting rooms, and provides an opportunity for those that are unable to come to a physical location the ability to access services. I also understand that there is value in providing face to face appointments and virtual care is not always a good option for all, therefore I also offer in person appointments Monday-Thursdays, with some Friday and Saturday availability.

This is your place to feel seen, heard, and understood. I value giving people a safe space to share and feel seen. Sometimes we put on a mask to look positive, but underneath we're feeling overwhelmed, worn down, hurt, and discouraged. It can be an isolating experience, coupled with anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty. Although it can be intimidating to begin, therapy is a great place to let your guard down and share what's really going on inside. I'll help you find your way forward, and we'll do it together. I don't want you to go through this alone.

The damn is ready to break - the tears are right behind your eyes! What happens if it breaks? You don’t know that you can put it back together let alone rebuild it completely. Nobody understands how hard it is to keep going. Life has just been so hard since it happened. The bad dreams only make it worse, you can’t remember the last time you got a good night's sleep. The constant anxiety and feeling on edge is just a cruel bonus. You’re afraid, embarrassed and stressed. Somehow, you pull yourself together...again. But every time you do you feel even more crushed and drained. As if you, the real you, is eroding.

Adults Therapists
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication.
Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
