Christian Therapists in Portland, OR
I work with people who are need of guidance and alleviation from everyday life troubles, including feeling stuck and dissatisfied, anxious, or overwhelmed. You may feel that work is absolutely taking a toll, or that your relationship with your significant other is taking a lot of damage. You may find yourself questioning everyone and everything, and this brings up thoughts and feelings that can be debilitating and very difficult.
We also would work together on deeper things, things that may have never been addressed before now, or perhaps many times before but to no avail.

Life can feel overwhelming at times—especially when you’re navigating relationship challenges, major transitions, or patterns that seem hard to break. You might find yourself asking, Why do I keep ending up here? or How do I move forward in a healthier way? If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I believe the therapeutic relationship serves the client to reflect on their life thus far, identify new goals and desired outcomes and take steps to achieve higher understanding of the self. We will look back at family history and life events for patterns the client may be stuck in. Together, we address the narrative the client uses to "story" their life, observing how language is used in both healthy and unhealthy ways. This allows the client to address those narratives and work to create more productive ones. I am also very passionate about the work of pre-martial/pre-engagement counseling with couples.

Hello! I’m Niasha, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am licensed in Mississippi, Texas, and Oregon.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, weighed down by depression, or struggling to adjust after major life changes—like transitioning from the military or starting dialysis—you’re not alone. It can feel like life keeps moving while you’re standing still, unsure of how to move forward or find peace again.
The truth is, when we carry that weight alone, it often grows heavier. The stress builds, relationships feel strained, and hope can start to fade. But healing is possible—you just need the right support and tools to get there.

Do you find life’s challenges—whether daily stressors or major transitions—impacting your well-being? Counseling offers a supportive space to pause, reflect, and develop greater insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, fostering more intentional and authentic living.

While I enjoy working from a Christian worldview, I am trained to provide counseling with and without faith integration based on your preferences.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in some way—whether they’re functioning well on the outside but disconnected internally, or things aren't functioning well and they are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or major life change. Some feel trapped in routines, roles, or patterns that no longer fit. Others feel overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. I specialize in helping men get clear on what’s keeping them stuck, process what needs attention, and build a life that feels more honest, grounded, and their own.

Accepting new clients (updated 5/8/26). I support deep feelers in their 20s and 30s who are overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by a traumatic experience. Anxiety and trauma can make everyday life feel exhausting. You may find it hard to relax in moments of quiet, even when you’re utterly drained. If you’re a highly sensitive person, you may become easily overstimulated, absorb the emotions of those around you, or feel on edge more often. While anxiety and trauma can affect anyone, highly sensitive people often experience them more intensely. The good news is, it's possible to feel more calm and grounded.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
