Jake is especially interested in working with children and families in rural Oregon who are at disproportionate risk for poor developmental outcomes. Appropriate referrals include concerns related to mood, anxiety, or stress response in individuals college-age or younger; concerns related to autism, ADHD, learning abilities/styles, intellectual functioning, or other social, emotional, cognitive, or adaptive developmental concerns; concerns for adherence to a medical regimen (especially T1D); and concerns related to parenting behavior, family stress, family communication, or child/adolescent behavior management.

As we begin to move on from the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; financial, social/political tensions, anxiety about health concerns, the lack of social contact, etc., life can get overwhelming. These issues bring deep impacts on our emotional well being. Have you been through a recent life change and need help adjusting? Have you been experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, irritability and stress? Do you need orientation and effective skills in parenting, your interpersonal relationships, communication, assertiveness or mindfulness? Are you dealing with a chronic illness?

Accepting New Clients! Hello and welcome! Life can present various challenges, transitions, and stressors that can be overwhelming at times – perhaps you are searching for help with: grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or trauma; family conflict/parenting issues; unhealthy personal or professional relationships; child/teen with behavioral problems; or generational trauma or racial discrimination. I acknowledge the difficulty one may have with seeking help. This may be due to historical stigmas, masculinity associated with being male, or the feeling of “needing to do it all” and not having your power acknowledged or honored as a woman.

I am passionate about working with families, individuals, and couples to help generate the change they desire. As an individual and family counselor, I believe that we hold and can find the answers to our problems. We create solutions and understandings that work for us in our environments. Therefore, I endeavor to create a friendly, informative, and supportive relationship where challenges can be explored and addressed in the best ways possible. It is important to me to counsel others with acceptance, honesty, and compassion. I enjoy learning about the lives and experiences of every type of person. I accept most clients.

Richard Stubbs is one of three board certified music therapists licensed in Southern Oregon. He specializes in experiential therapies such as songwriting and lyric analysis, attachment focused music therapy, and an innovative integration of tabletop role-playing games into group therapy. Group therapy is focused on building interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and problem solving skills.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.

Are you seeking true transformation? I love meeting individuals who are ready for deeper work & revolutionary growth. Whether you are new to counseling or a long-time therapist, if you are wanting to push beyond the familiar shadow parts and let go of the old stories, then we may be an ideal fit. I work with a wide variety of adult clients and enjoy working with various issues including; Self Realization & Potential, Relationships, Romance, Spirituality, The Self, Self-image, Grief, Anxiety, Trauma, Abuse, Communication, Sexual Issues, Sexual Orientation, LGBTQ issues, Trans-Gender issues, Faith/Religion, Spirituality, etc.

Now accepting new clients! Has life become a process of just going through the motions? Has the build up of painful memories from the past or the worry about what will happen next keep you from living life to its fullest? The truth is that each one of us will struggle at some point on this "path" we call life. However, as common as struggle is, likewise is the struggle of working up the courage to reach out and ask for help when we need it. The beauty of counseling is that it reveals this path doesn’t have to be walked alone.

I strongly believe that all humans can reach an optimum state of health. An essential part of achieving this often involves addressing limiting habitual patterns of behavior or belief systems as well as learning skills to optimize healthy relationships. I seek to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can identify their own answers and achieve tangible results. This can occur both in individual sessions as well as with the collaboration of family members. My practice has lead me to work with youth, young adults, adults, and families facing some very challenging life situations and internal struggles.

You have a right to therapy supported by good evidence and theory. It is my mission to provide the best of the field of psychology. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who initiate psychotherapy to address a variety of concerns (emotional, motivational, developmental, relational, sexual, existential) and to facilitate personal growth toward greater meaning and satisfaction in life. Examples of goals may include psychological flexibility, behavior change, expanded coping capacity, development of deeper sense of relationships, and more open views of your own life.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, so my practice has both depth and breadth. I have much experience working with depression and anxiety, addictions and recovery, all types of trauma, and relationship issues of all kinds. I welcome LGBTQ+ individuals, folx from non-dominant cultural backgrounds, and I enjoy working with individuals, couples, "pods," and families. My goal is the empowerment of everyone I serve.

I work with clients skillfully to safely facilitate access to their own natural wisdom. I work specifically to craft the interpersonal space that supports growth in my clients. You may feel somehow broken, incomplete, or even bewildered. I remember these feelings from my own experience of healing and I use these experiences and vulnerabilities to guide my work as a therapist. Though the relationship is based on unconditional acceptance, my clients undergo remarkable transformation. I provide the skills of expert listening, empathy, clear boundaries, and genuineness to my clients.

Currently accepting new clients. We promise to return all calls and emails and if FourEight isn't the right fit for your needs, help you identify a care approach that does, free of charge. We strive to be your partner on the path to wellness!

I believe every client can reach an ideal state of mental health. Clients can expect to experience mental, emotional, and spiritual health in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. In addition, clients can expect to find compassion, comfort, and forgiveness for personal and relational pain. A client who struggles with fears, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or other mental, emotional, and spiritual struggles can expect support, help, and resolutions. Through a collaborative and therapeutic relationship, clients will discover for themselves the power, freedom, and beauty of their true-selves. There is always hope.

When you are not understanding each other & when you think your relationships are stuck or damaged, an objective & experienced family coach could help. If going to a family therapy office is any barrier, discreet video telecounseling sessions or phone calls from your home might be the solution to start to understand each other & rebuild your relationships stronger than ever. Individuals who are considering/ready to make personal changes will also find nonjudgmental coaching & support in clarifying & "operationalizing" their goals & understanding themselves better. I bring my therapist experience when older 'scars' are discovered.

Adventure Therapy Northwest LLC for clients in Southern Oregon, active/outdoor therapy. For those not in Southern Oregon, you can still book me via Telehealth if you're presently located in Colorado, Alaska, Louisiana, Oregon, Utah, & Washington. You’re not necessarily looking for long-term therapy, but you know that you could benefit from someone to check-in with on a regular basis… a counselor who is solution-oriented and future-focused. If you're a firearm owner, 2A advocate, a practicing Christian, unvaccinated, a first responder or military member... I will support you and your freedom to choose your path in life.

I enjoy people, and get great satisfaction out of helping folks work through the knots and tangles of this life. My ideal client is someone who is trying to move through a period of pain or confusion, and has lost a sense of direction or confidence in the ability to move forward. I am drawn to help with difficulties in family relationships - between couples of all genders, parents and children, adults and their parents, and those coping with substance abuse, or family members in the grip of substance abuse.

Showing up is the most important and often hardest part of this process. Once you make it to the office, we can usually find a direction for change you feel connected to. If we don't show up, change isn't likely to occur. I don't care if you are sad, angry, rageful, confused, indifferent, suicidal, or in despair, if you show up, I promise to do the same. If we can't make space for the spectrum of our humanity in the therapeutic space then where can we? I believe people are genuinely trying to do the best they can with what they have, and sometimes what we have isn't useful for the immediate situation. So, we get help.

My integrative approach is tailored to the specific needs of the client. I specialize in innovative ways to reduce stress and restore healthier functioning. My style of counseling emphasizes the importance of developing relationships based on mutual respect, honesty, and trust. I employ an eclectic approach with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Together we will explore your unique issues.
