Therapists in South Tabor, Portland, OR

I am a telehealth therapist located in Portland, Oregon but also serving individuals in Florida, Utah and Colorado with primary treatment focuses on disordered eating and body image, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and anxiety disorders. In my work with individuals struggling with disordered eating and eating disorders, I take a Health at Every Size approach, and work with individuals to develop skills of intuitive eating, mindfulness, building self-acceptance, and learning who you are outside of your body image struggles.

I specialize in telehealth therapy for adult ADHD, brain health concerns, and anxiety. As a neuropsychologist, I appreciate the complex interactions between our brains, our behaviors, and our environments. I view symptoms and their potential remedies through a scientific lens, with a focus on evidence-based strategies -- practical tools that can make a difference in your everyday life. I also believe treatment should be collaborative, creative, and tailored for your specific needs. I try to approach therapy with curiosity, determination, openness, and humor, and I invite my clients to do the same.

Are you out of balance? Not fully present: stuck in the past or dread the future? Do you want to feel comfortable with yourself and live authentically so you enjoy time alone and with others? I can help you move beyond talk therapy and learn to communicate with your timeless, internal wisdom; to integrate your body, heart and soul so you respond rather than react to life situations. Therapies I offer include Somatic Experiencing and EMDR (Eye Movement Densisitization Reprocessing) for trauma healing, depth psychology and dream work to uncover your unconscious strengths to navigate life with purpose and joy.

My clients are high functioning individuals who want help getting unstuck in some area of their lives, are seeking direction, and want help in alleviating pain, whether it is physical, emotional, psychological, relational, or spiritual. It's not unusual for them to have tried different therapies before coming to me, and most find that the combination of approaches that I use creates a healing synergy that they have not found elsewhere. In fact, my business card says "Deep Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit." See my website at kweymouth.com for details.

My clients are mostly adults in individual and couples therapy who are navigating the stressors of relationships, adulthood, life transitions, communication, dating, anxiety, and attachment. You may be someone who is struggling to live in the uncertainty that life often brings, or maybe you're navigating boundaries in your relationships - all things that bring about anxiety and fear for many people. Despite what it may be, I am here to support you and talk through it with you. I can offer support in areas of anxiety, depression, grief, family/relationship/dating challenges, identity formation, sexuality, and personal growth.

Are you seeking a safe, supportive connection to help you address what is interfering with achievement of your full potential, healing and growth? My focus is to build positive therapeutic relationships with my clients, support and guide you to identify your strengths, with intention of creating constructive solutions that promote balance and hope. There are times in our lives where getting additional support can help address life's painful events, transitions, issues and/or patterns that are no longer serving us.

My practice is focused on helping those struggling with concerns like excessive worry, low mood, life transitions and stress management. I find joy in helping others to more deeply understand themselves and in working together to untangle new ways to move forward. I am always flexible to my clients’ needs but tend to be “in the middle” around directiveness in sessions, often finding a balance between introducing new tools and leaving room for responding to what the week brings.

Individual Sessions: Respect, compassion and empathy are the cornerstones of my counseling practice. In sessions, I will create a safe environment where you can explore your experiences and how they have shaped you, learn to understand yourself, your thoughts, feelings and your needs and examine your relationships with others so that you can, if you wish, nurture and deepen those relationships. Most importantly, you'll learn to view yourself through a more compassionate lens, building a calmer and more joyful inner experience and a more confident and caring self-view.

Growth can be challenging, and we should not have to do it alone. It is a great honor for me to accompany my clients toward more ease and joy. Through a trauma informed lens I bring compassion, curiosity, and heartfelt acceptance to my work with teens, young adults and parents. Depression, anxiety, healing unresolved trauma and difficulty navigating life transitions are common issues clients bring in.Together we aim to identify concerns, reduce symptoms, address trauma with care, build healthy coping skills, and regain a sense of agency. With time, clients notice more self awareness, self compassion, more fulfilling relationships.

I primarily work with clients who are experiencing OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, and are navigating various life transitions. My approach may vary slightly depending on your presentation, but one thing that stays consistent is my belief that the relationship between client and therapist is a huge catalyst to healing and growth. Active listening, unconditional positive regard, and challenging/highlighting unhelpful patterns when necessary are a few ways I help my clients become aligned with themselves and heal. I believe that the therapist/client relationship leads to new insights, and therefore lasting change for the client.
