I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have dedicated much of my professional life to working with children and families.

I have worked in a variety of positions which include the following: therapist, youth advocate, teacher, youth employment specialist, Big Brother/Big Sister Coordinator, parent/teen mediator, mentor, coach, youth crew leader and Peace Corps Volunteer. These experiences have provided a wealth of insight into the human condition. They have enriched my life and often inform my work as a therapist.

I welcome feedback throughout our work to ensure we are on the right track and will continue to check in to support you in the best way possible. I use a trauma-focused lens- incorporating biological, social and psychological perspectives.

Hello, my name is Tasha and I am accepting new clients in Oregon. With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, continuously gaining valuable insights from each individual. Establishing and building trust in the therapeutic relationship is essential to my work. My journey in this field is driven by a passion for facilitating safe experiences of growth.

I work with children (0-18) and families who are trying to navigate the unexpected and hard to discuss challenges that life throws at you. My treatment approach focuses on helping children better understand their experiences, current circumstances, and what is to come while also nurturing their attachment relationship(s) to their caregiver(s). Through this relational process we will work together collaboratively to identify areas for growth and gain tools necessary for success. My specialties include working with families impacted by intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), chronic illness, trauma, anxiety, and grief.

Currently accepting new clients. Hi, I’m Nicole. I’m a therapist who works with teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I am excited to provide you with individualized sessions specific to your current concerns.

Accepting couples, families and individuals using OHP insurance. Do you want to make a change? Coping skills often developed early on in life and were important to help get you to where you are today. They can arise from a childhood that seems "normal" or one filled with trauma and struggle. Coming to therapy is a step in healing the wounds from the past and working with the struggles of today. I can help you process your lived experience at your pace to help you move forward and make positive changes in your life. I am currently prioritizing couples and families who want to do therapy together.,

Does your child or teen struggle to communicate their thoughts and feelings? Have you noticed a change in their behavior or have concerns about their self-confidence? Could you use some new strategies to communicate and emotionally connect with your child? Participating in therapy can be a great place to start the journey of developing new ways to build family connection, establish a safe space for your child to explore big feelings, and to learn new ways to navigate complex life stressors that impact your child and family's overall functioning alongside a trained professional who can provide individualized care and guidance.

Welcome! I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and walking alongside them in their healing. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between the family and therapist, that each client has the resiliency and resources they need already within, and that it is our job to uncover them. My work with clients considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing relational distress, sex concerns, infertility/pregnancy issues, transracial/transnational family dynamics, processing trauma, religion and spirituality, body-image concerns, or low self esteem.

Welcome. I am a clinician with 24 plus years of clinical practice and extensive experience with a number of somatic therapies. I specialize in working with complex trauma but, generally speaking, my clients seek support with relationships or overwhelming emotional states that impact some aspect of their lives.

Why does this keep happening? Why can't I let this go? Why do I find myself in the same relationship over and over? Most of our personal challenges in life come from events in our early childhood or are passed down from trauma in our families. Theses things are challenging to heal or transform when we either don’t remember what they are or never knew to begin with. Even with events we do remember it can be hard to get to a place of transformation. That is why I work with modalities that get deep into the the unconscious so that change can take place on that deep level that is very challenging to get to with thinking and talking.

I am available for new clients, individually or family sessions. I am also taking clients for a teen DBT skills group (ages 12-18 if still in high school). I see our work together as a team that balances putting in the hard work while understanding you have to have some laughs along the way! Above all modalities, the therapeutic relationship is what I value most in our work together. I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy. Despite my degree in art therapy, my dual license allows me to provide more traditional talk therapy, too.

Life is challenging, sadness is real, unbelievable pain is real, and it can take this kind of raw encounter with life to discover our inner strength. I help my clients navigate challenges that inevitably arise, to find ways to deal with setbacks. My approach is heart-centered and mindfulness-based. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or struggling with memories of traumatic events, I can help you access your inherent capacity for healing and coming into your wholeness. You can re-experience beauty, restore meaning and purpose in your life.

Life can be hard, can cause twists, turns, and sometimes unexpected trauma happens to us or those we love. This can include grief and loss, particularly painful when it involves loss of a child or fertility loss. That is where good therapy is key to relieving the pain and understanding how to process such abstract emotions that often consume our entirety. I specialize in helping adults navigate such hurtles, particularly those attached to fertility related trauma, infant loss/miscarriage, traumatic births, postpartum depression/anxiety and bereavement. I welcome all those who seek support; therapy is hard, but you are here.

Life is full of struggles and surprises, and we often feel trapped and have no hope. It is common to have negative thoughts and beliefs, to experience lack of motivation and burn out when we try to move through our life. Struggling with your thoughts and feelings can really affect your daily life. “It is okay to not feel okay!” Emotions and thoughts are two very complicated things and a lot of the time they tangle together. With patience, empathy, authenticity, and wanting to discover depth with the client, people can see more clearly from their past and have a goal for the future.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt in your relationships, work, or life more broadly? Do you care deeply about the people in your life, but your relationships could be better? Maybe it's hard to express yourself or trust others. Maybe the thought of conflict or upsetting someone makes you feel ill. Do you have big goals and dreams, but struggle to handle setbacks and disappointments along the way? Perhaps you wonder if you're being too hard on yourself...or not hard enough. Right now, you crave some some external perspective on how you're REALLY doing and how to get where you want to go.
