Family Therapy in Portland, OR

I believe therapy has the power to transform people's lives and improve their relationships. My approach is collaborative and relational. In therapy, I work with clients to develop concrete goals and tools to increase confidence in themselves and in their relationships. I also assist clients in processing how past experiences may contribute to insecurities, unhelpful patterns in relationships, and professional dissatisfaction. Throughout the therapy process I help empower clients to change their life narratives by expressing and pursuing what they want in their lives.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are hoping to heal past trauma, improve communication and find new possibilities. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, and confused about what your next steps in life should be. These feelings may be related to relationship distress, problems in communication with family members, big life changes, or work stress. I work collaboratively with individuals, families and partners who want to foster connection and form deeper, more loving relationships.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive counseling/psychotherapy. I work with individuals both long and short term. Wanting to understand why adverse or difficult things happen to us is natural. When one can contribute a sense of meaning to a difficult situation the power of the problem is often integrated and diminishes. Therapy is a process that can help an individual find the transformational quality in their adverse experiences and become empowered by them, instead of overwhelmed by them.

THERAPY AND COACHING FOR EXPECTANT AND NEW DADS. Are you a soon-to-be dad who’s unsure what to expect? Do you already have a child and struggle with the constantly changing landscape of your life? My name is Jason Ribner, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Personal Development coach. I specialize in working with men who are experiencing normal anxieties about the upcoming birth of a child and/or dealing with changing dynamics once that child enters the family .

NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS at this time. Practice is full. I approach therapy as a collaboration, rooted in understanding each person as an individual in the context of their family , history, culture and daily life. I value developing satisfying relationships, realistic self esteem, self awareness, and emotional understanding for growth and sustainable symptom relief. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and children from diverse backgrounds to address various struggles, including depression, anxiety, the impacts of trauma, unstable moods, grief, relationship difficulties and challenging behaviors or patterns.

At Carewell we focus on creating healthy relationships, including the one you have with yourself. Let us help you through this challenging time. If you have anxiety issues we will develop coping strategies — especially important during COVID 19. Navigating a divorce, blended family issues, those enduring narcissistic abuse, are all particularly vulnerable during this time when we are having so much togetherness. Adults find support at Carewell via Telehealth and people with support do better.

My commitment is to offer effective therapy. As a person seeking therapy, you need a counselor who can understand and meet you where healing and growth is waiting to take place within you. Let's connect and find out if that counselor is me. I offer depth therapy that is emotionally sensitive, trauma-informed and transpersonal: integrating soul-searching and the management of daily life & relationships. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of nature therapy, body-centered expression and a receptive, feminine/masculine balanced approach.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the core of individual and family work. When working with children, I believe in the power of play, art, and connection to build relationships and skill-build along with process challenging life events. I support families with increasing communication, building compassion and connection while honoring families’ inherent strengths and background. During individual therapy with adults, our work will be geared towards finding balance in navigating the unknown and building coping tools. In all aspects of my work I am committed to working from an anti-oppressive and affirming lens.

My work is primarily with LGBTQ communities with a specialty in transgender identities. This includes letter writing, supporting individuals, families, and relationships through social, spiritual, medical, and/or the multiple ways one can transition.

This may include relationship conflict, grief/loss, life transitions, and/or mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. I currently work with children/teens and adults 10 and up in a private practice setting.

I think of my role as a collaborator and guide, working relationally with you to find solutions and foster well-being.
