Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Forest Grove, OR

Most, if not all of us have a plan for our lives, but things do not always go according to that plan. We face detours or worse, having to reimagine that life all together. We aren’t always ready for these changes, and it can leave us feeling alone, depressed, anxious, stuck, unmotivated, or even scared. I use an integrative approach that utilizes psychoeducation and mindfulness in a safe and open space to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to re-envision the plan you had for yourself.

There are many reasons that we can feel anxious, disconnected, or a host of other negative emotions. Know that there's hope that comes from creating a new story that is shaped by your individual values, beliefs, and interests. My practice is dedicated to those who feel overwhelmed by their past and/or present. By understanding your unique life path, we can untangle the impact of your experiences and rebuild your coping toolkit. Together, we can navigate the path to healing and resilience.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sanjay Kumar. Are you struggling with relationships? Do you feel that no one really knows your true inner self? I focus on Individuals and Couples Therapy. With my eclectic person-centered therapeutic approaches, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness, perhaps we can go on this journey together as a joint team, where you will be able to begin your self-discovery, and eventually get an appreciation for your true inner self.

Are you and your partner stuck in a repeating conflict cycle? Are you struggling with intimacy? Would you like to feel more authentic or whole in connecting with your partner and others? I work with couples and individuals to create a warm and safe relationship where they can explore who they are, why they are, and what is in the way of their intimacy and thriving.

Depressed? Stuck? Anxious? The decision to enter into therapy is a courageous one. If you are considering taking this step, chances are you have tried many avenues already and are feeling hopeless things could change or be any better. I have a special interest in helping adults build competence and confidence in navigating their unique life circumstances more effectively and adaptively. I can help you identify and live the life that is most meaningful to you.

We offer therapy and medication management for depression, anxiety, child/family issues, trauma, ADD, and a wide range of other concerns. We can bill most OHP plans in the metro area for therapy and medication management services.

I work together with my clients toward more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. These bring about lasting positive change. I treat a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addictions, interpersonal issues (i.e. couples counseling), psycho-spiritual/religious conflicts and abuse, sexuality, and pragmatic life-coaching, to name a few. I have extensive experience working with the LGBT community, some "out," others not; some religious, others not. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT) when indicated, coupled with mindfulness techniques. I also explore with my clients deeper-seated issues, including exploring our "shadows" and the roots of addiction and shame. I serve adolescents and adults.
