Therapists in Alphabet District, Portland, OR

It is my philosophy that each of us are on a path that encompasses understanding who we are in relation to our surroundings. Answers are found through interpersonal connections and within ourselves. It is my job to offer a safe, supportive space and the skilled assistance that allows you to discover your strengths and the tools necessary to overcome life's hurdles.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS...Everyone is on a journey of personal development; making meaning of their lives and experiences. I consider people to be the experts in their lives, who, when supported, are able to follow their natural drive for self-actualization. All human experiences are a valuable part of the process of self-emergence. Even the greatest challenges can offer insight and fuel for a path forward. I seek to draw out clients' strengths and support the cultivation of their inner guide. People are neither sick nor well. Rather, we are all in process, with personal depths that want for exploration.

I offer individual counseling to help people experiencing complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges, and relational issues.

Fast heartbeat, stomach in knots. Worry has become your constant companion. Right now, everything feels as if it's covered in a veil of "what-if's." The hopelessness and depression are growing. In the midst of it all, it can seem as if there's no way out, that these emotions will last forever. You're so tired of life feeling dreary, tiresome and hopeless. The anxiety and sadness have gone on for far too long. It's a lonely and isolating place ot be. You can't help but wonder, "How long can I go on this way?!" There is hope. Therapy can help anyone, including you! Armed with the right tools, you can overcome fear and sadness.

Hello, I am a therapist and clinical supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and families throughout the life cycle. My specialties include: life stage transition, couples counseling, parenting challenging teens, depression , anxiety, identity issues, substance abuse, attachment and adjustment to a new normal after a diagnosis or medical intervention. I also provide clinical supervision to interns who are working toward their LPC and LMFT licenses. Visit my website at http://www.matthewlovell.com for more information. Thank you!

My psychotherapy practice prioritizes creating a safe space to explore what lies beneath the symptoms you might be feeling or experiencing. I believe that our symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc.) are the outward manifestations of our inner wounds. Those symptoms are cues to where the work can begin. I work with both adults and adolescents. I am as passionate about helping adults understand how their childhoods affect their current patterns and behaviors as I am about supporting adolescents along their often complex journey to adulthood.

My name is Vy and I’m so glad you’re here. I identify as a first-generation Asian-American woman. I was born in Vietnam and raised in Portland. Because of this, I have experienced the difficulties of navigating multiple different cultures. This has helped me understand how cultural dysphoria can impact our lives and relationships. This is also why I am so passionate about working with couples and families who may need help communicating their different needs to not only grow but flourish together. I strive to offer services that are based on clinically proven methods centered around social justice and are culturally conscious.

LICENSED IN OREGON AND WASHINGTON STATE. I am a culturally informed person of color and an ANXIETY and CHILD/FAMILY EXPERT.

As an insight-oriented therapist, I approach therapy with the general goal of helping you better understand yourself, what matters to you, and how you exist in the world. Based on what you want to accomplish, together we can uncover your true self so you can lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. This process often involves a combination of making sense of earlier experiences, working with ongoing patterns, and re-evaluating future expectations or assumptions. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will focus on issues and perceptions that may be holding you back or keeping you stuck.

I invite you to soften in our open and grounded therapy space. Our work together encompasses transmuting pain and suffering into creative balance, reorienting you to your natural human experience. As a relational and earth-conscious practitioner, I believe embodiment is human nature. I specialize in guiding people through fear and loss, dissociation, grief, and trauma. My approach is holistic and eclectic, as I weave ancient philosophies, energetics, and metaphysics with modern quantum, epigenetic, and neurobiological sciences. I believe our multidimensional nature is a web of healing for ourselves, the lineage, and our planet.

It is perfectly normal for individuals, couples, and families to experience problems at various times, and therapy can be very useful in helping to navigate life’s trials and transitions. I believe that everyone possesses abundant natural strengths and resiliencies to draw from to achieve goals and move closer to a preferred life. I help clients with many issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family conflict, and addiction issues. I think of my role as a collaborator and guide, working relationally with you to find solutions and foster well-being.

Whether you have tried therapy in the past and are seeking support again, or are just beginning your therapy journey – I’m so glad you are here. I believe healing happens in relationship – to ourselves, to our communities, and to others in our lives who we care deeply for. Through Somatic Mindfulness (body centered), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Self-Compassion based theories, I view my role as a guide along the road back to yourself, the ones you love, and the life you want to feel present in.
