Therapists in Milwaukie Business-Industrial, Milwaukie, OR
I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents navigating life transitions—chapters of change that ask us to reimagine who we are. My work often centers on experiences of grief and identity, including how we hold what’s been lost and how we rediscover ourselves in what comes next. In our work together, we explore the stories that shape you, reflect on old patterns, and use conversation or creative expression to deepen understanding. LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and neurodivergent clients are warmly welcome.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience. I have a specialty in social justice themes and work heavily with the LGBTQ community, particularly with people of color. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I treat each individual professionally and with respect and with acknowledgement of your individual strengths. I listen attentively to your thoughts and feelings, while also focusing on factors that are out of your conscious awareness (such as anxieties, values, and expectations) that can get expressed in relationships or through problematic patterns or symptoms.

I work with individuals and couples who find themselves trapped in patterns of emotion and behavior that keep them from moving forward in their lives and relationships. I don't think of problems as illnesses, but as learned ways of navigating the world that no longer work; almost every problem started out as a solution. Problems are solved by deeply confronting and changing the emotional learnings that make them seem inevitable. Change comes when people are able to unlearn old patterns and replace them with new ones. Transformative change uses the mind’s natural capacity to adapt and heal.

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I believe it takes strength and courage to decide to begin therapy. I believe there comes a time in most people's lives when it can be helpful to have a non-biased, supportive person to guide them through life changes or difficulties they may be experiencing. Therapy is a collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist. In order for therapy to be successful, a person has to be ready and want to make changes. It is also essential to feel understood and accepted by your therapist. If you feel that you might benefit from a caring, experienced therapist, please call.

Hello! My name's Dr. Bohrer and I'm a psychologist, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC level III). I began working in the field of psychology in 2007, so there's not much I haven't seen or heard. I believe therapy should be a place where you're free to share whatever you want but not forced to disclose anything until you're comfortable doing so. Therapy doesn't have to be an intimidating or daunting experience. I invite humor into therapy sessions and welcome you to do the same.

I am accepting new clients. I help clients who seek to increase their strengths, awareness, openness, flexibility, intelligence (IQ and EQ), resiliency, create empowering processes and solutions leading to meaningful life engagement, and improving quality of life. I have worked with all ages, backgrounds and issues, individuals, couples and families. I have found the best predictor of effective therapy is how well the client connects with the therapist. I am open to working with all people, cultures and conditions.

Trying to be a happy, healthy, creative human in today’s world requires new skills to face new challenges. Overwhelming anxiety, depression, and relationship instability are often products of our ancient nervous system struggling to adapt to an environment with new rules, new pressures, and old wounds. As a species we are subjected to increasing pressure to perform, produce, and project a life that is at once effortless and perfect. The reality is far from this however, and humans need support, love, and patience in the face of failure in order to thrive.
