Therapists in Portland, OR

Are you in need of premarital or marital counseling? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or past trauma? Are you currently pregnant, just gave birth, or just lost a child and in need of some support to deal with the various emotions you are experiencing? Are you a parent of a child with mental illness and need some support or therapy for yourself? Do you have a long history of mental health struggles and would like to break the cycle? If so, we can help! We work with moms, dads, wives, husbands and partners. We are culturally and spiritually minded in our work. We integrate your faith and culture in our work together.

Inevitably, at some point in our lives we feel overwhelmed and exhausted as we try to keep it together in this incessantly pressurized world. If you're feeling swallowed up by depression, anxiety, stress, anger, or just emptiness, it’s important to remember that the way you feel right now isn’t how you have to feel tomorrow. The truth is that this negative emotion is indicating that certain aspects of your life are demanding to be addressed, as they would if you sprained your ankle. It is a signal that you are ready to deal with what is happening right now--ready to find comfort and relief, ready for growth and change.

In therapy with me, you can expect a respectful environment that is efficiently focused on what you want to achieve. My only goal is to make your life better. I will take the time to get to know you and together we can work toward real solutions so that you can create a better life.

I love walking alongside individuals and partners who are seeking more vibrant, authentic relationships with themselves and others. Together, we can tend to challenges that you may be experiencing related to anxiety, depression, stigma, or shame. We may care for the parts of you that may be feeling stuck, struggling in your relationships, or moving through tender life transitions. With compassion and curiosity, we will explore patterns that bring you closer or further away from meaningful, fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

Redmond Reams, Ph.D., provides psychotherapy based on your concerns, whether you deal with anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, or other matters. When you start counseling, you decide if you feel that Dr. Reams emotionally understands the issues important to you. As therapy unfolds, we both assess the situations you find particularly difficult and react to stronger than you might expect. Together we figure out how you can use the basis of these reactions to make desirable changes.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples in their quest for clarity and healing.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, helping adults who experience depression, anxiety, and other painful feelings associated with life transitions, relationship difficulties, pandemic stress, grief and loss, past trauma, sexual assault, work-related issues, and stalled creativity. My work is collaborative--I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your concerns freely. To find a therapist who's right for you, I offer a free half-hour consultation so that you can meet me and address your emotional and financial needs. If you feel that the match is not good, there is no obligation. Email me for a quick reply.

Do you have an adept ability to flex and bend to the needs of your environment? Do you struggle to identify and prioritize your own needs? Are your goals and dreams collecting dust while you compulsively tend to those around you? Codependency often develops in the personality structures of people who are raised in chaotic and neglectful environments as children. A finely tuned childhood survival strategy, it leaves many feeling a complex array of emotions in their adulthood: emptiness, resentment, loneliness, and confusion. I help people to break unsatisying relational-patterns and to harness more creative control over their lives.
