Therapists in Portland, OR

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.

When you were younger, were you often told that you were an “old soul” or “mature for your age”? As an adult, have you wondered why you keep falling into the same patterns? Maybe it’s with work. Maybe it’s with dating. Maybe it’s with friends. I work with adults who are people of color and multiracial people addressing frustrating, confusing, or possibly even traumatizing patterns in their relationships or at work. I work best with people who are in touch with their emotions, “high achievers” (looking at you, my fellow “pleasure to have in class” people!), and ready to do the work of self-exploration.

Now accepting new clients! Taking that first step of reaching out for help and support can feel intimidating, and having that strength warrants celebration in and of itself. As a therapist it is my honor to walk alongside my clients and provide unconditional care and support. I strive to create a judgment free environment where people feel safe and free to grow into their true selves. No matter what stage of healing you are in, I would be delighted to help you work through whatever life throws your way. You deserve to have space and time to take care of yourself no matter what you've been through.

Life can leave you feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed. But you don’t need to stay there. I invite you to inquire within. It's time to reconnect with the wisdom within you. Your body carries information that you haven't tapped into or perhaps don't yet have access to. I'm here to help you realize that the answers are already there. We might just need to shine some light on the shadows (things that have been to hard to look at). Acknowledging and integrating those parts that have been ignored or tucked away can lead to more authentic ways of showing up in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the planet.

We all get stuck sometimes; and we suffer. Life often feels messy and chaotic, and in the midst of "the daily grind" we experience ourselves as unbalanced, fragmented, and "all over the place." Life is perpetually full of transition and change; and our habituated ways of being in the world are often at odds with the ebb and flow of life's events, and we experience stress, conflict and pain. Despite our resources, strategies and efforts to cope with challenges, we often get stuck; and end up feeling dissatisfied with ourselves, disenchanted with others, and disconnected from life, vitality, joy.

Hi! My name is Ramon Nava. I am a very driven provider with a background in family medicine, which I am able to use to my advantage in order to take a holistic approach toward mental health disorders. My experience has been with a culturally diverse population in various states including: AZ, NY, OR, and TX. I am able to serve Spanish speaking patients as well. My goal is to empower patients so they are able to take control of their mental health to the best of their ability. I have a strong military background and have served 13 years in the Army Reserve helping fellow service members overcome medical and mental health ailments.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult and intimidating decision. I am here to support you and provide you with the care and guidance you need to overcome the challenges you are facing. I specialize in trauma work, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also have a special interest in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and have extensive experience using my training to support queer and transgender individuals.

Therapy provides a connection and opportunity to grow and change within challenging circumstances. My clients experience(d) abuse, neglect, or oppression; grieve unbearable loss; seek to modulate anger or battle low self-esteem; question religious/spiritual/political values; navigate conflict; express themselves creatively; integrate a transformative event (e.g. plant medicine); and unlearn their gender or racial conditioning. You can correct course from historical patterns. Men, families, highly sensitive people, exvangelicals, and relatives of someone with a personality disorder are among clients I have worked well with.

Navigating the human experience is inevitably challenging, and can be overwhelming at times. If you find yourself feeling stuck, trapped by your own thoughts, or overwhelmed by heavy emotions, you’re not alone. Asking for help can be a life changing first step toward getting relief and living a life of meaning. As a therapist, my goal is to provide an authentic, safe space for people to process their experiences, develop skills, and move toward building the life that they want to be living.
