Female Therapists in Portland, OR

I am a licensed psychologist working with adults in individual therapy. I believe that developing a deeper understanding about our experiences within the context of a supportive, secure therapeutic relationship can lead to the development of more meaningful and satisfying lives and relationships. I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy, where the focus is not just on alleviating symptoms, but on understanding and working through beliefs, feelings, fears, and patterns that operate out of awareness and impact current difficulties. I find that meeting at least once a week helps us address issues in-depth and most effectively.

**ONLY ACCEPTING PRIVATE PAY CLIENTS** For those of us who have experienced trauma, we have also experienced a secondary trauma by not having a secure attachment figure or sense of safety to help us co-regulate and repair. My practice provides an accompanied space where you can feel safe(r) to process trauma and begin the lifelong journey towards healing. I’m a relational therapist and I work specifically with adult clients of color who have experienced racial trauma, intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse and neglect, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and anxiety and depression.

You don’t fit into society’s norms and maybe you don’t even want to. You may be BIPOC, LGTBQIA+, QTPOC, kinky, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, intersectional, or neurodivergent. There can be great joy and pride in being different, but difference can also be met with oppression. I know what it’s like to feel othered, how it can effect self esteem, your ability to connect with others, and can lead to trauma, isolation, sadness, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, hopelessness and confusion.

I am solution focused and can help people through a variety of issues including dealing with grief and loss, life transitions, depression and anxiety, relationship stress, family and work stress, race and identity issues, chronic pain and trauma. I believe the therapeutic relationship is extremely important in the process of therapy.

**Currently full for individual therapy. Please email if interested in small groups** I primarily work with women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, have experienced infertility, miscarriage and infant loss, and those new to parenthood. This time in one's life, the perinatal period, can be both beautiful and emotionally painful simultaneously. Impact on identity, career and relationships often require exploration and adjustment when a family begins to grow. Many of us experience low mood and/or significant worry during this time of transition and can see real improvement with therapy and additional forms of treatment.

Fast heartbeat, stomach in knots--worry has become your constant companion. Right now everything feels as if it is covered in a veil of "what-ifs." The hopelessness and depression are growing. In the midst of it all, it can seem as if there is no way out—that these emotions will last forever. You're tired of life feeling dreary, tiresome and hopeless. The anxiety and sadness have gone on far too long. It's a lonely and isolating place to 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 the fear and sadness.

You're a woman who works hard for success. But you feel unsatisfied with where your life is at...with your job, your relationships, your lack of time. You may be fed up with working long hours but still not meeting deadlines, feeling overwhelmed by the tasks that are before you and never having time to see your partner. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel accomplished at the end of the day. You’re ready to have time for YOU. Most of all, you’re ready to have more connection in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Holistic Nutritionist. With my background in both disciplines, I believe strongly in looking at both the physical and mental factors that might be impacting a person's life. I worked for over ten years in community mental health settings helping kids and their families address divorce, ADHD, anxiety, stress, life- balance, depression, parenting, behavioral issues and attachment. I feel the therapy room should be a safe, non-judgmental place to explore everything that is impacting your life.

(On maternity leave!) Hi, I’m Lindy. I am the founder of the Bodhi Tree Institute and an expert in mental wellness.  I am determined to get you unstuck and living your best life. I have a unique ability to pinpoint what has been holding you back and getting in the way of your success and well-being.

I specialize in working with teens & adults (ages 14-25) and offer both in-person and Telehealth sessions. If you are feeling ready to explore your intersectional identities, wanting tools to overcome feelings of overwhelm or anxiety, or just want someone to talk to about life as you try to navigate it, we might be a good fit! It is our task in therapy to help you find the parts of yourself you want to explore and lean into, to find ways to exist fully realized.

I provide therapy for men and women around life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, marriage and relationship issues, guilt and shame, recovering from physical or sexual abuse, sexuality, identity and self image, spiritual development, spiritual abuse, church and ministry. 35 years of pastoral ministry has given me great exposure to issues across an adult life span including singleness, finding life direction, finding a life partner, empty-nest, mid-life crisis, retirement and finding fulfillment when life and health is diminished by age.

Accepting New Patients . My practice focuses on supporting the mental health of adult women of all ages and sexual orientations. My areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, feeling stuck in life, workplace stress, family conflict, caregiver for family members, medical issues, and self-esteem. My patients are open to deep exploration of what brings meaning to life, how to heal from past and current challenges and how to form new ways of being that improve quality of life.

Thriving in a world torn apart by broken relationships, unmet expectations, and ongoing heartache can seem like a far off dream. While navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, I believe God uses our pain to help us see ourselves, to see God, and to see others more accurately. I am passionate about helping people move from brokenness and sorrow to hope and restoration, and I believe that this journey is not meant to be an independent one. I’m here as a companion for this journey to help you to uncover your God-given identity, and embrace a healthy sense of self.

I identify as a queer woman and specialize with LGBT folks. Poly and kink friendly! I may be a good fit for you if you want a therapist who is genuine, transparent, warm, and friendly, who sees you as a unique individual and tailors our work to identify and meet your needs. I bring a social justice lens and understanding of systems of oppression into therapeutic work. I will tell you what I am thinking, will challenge you intellectually, and actively engage with you. I will be open and honest in answering your questions, work collaboratively with you, describe our options, and check in often.

I work with adults who want to improve their lives through talk therapy and by making small changes over time. I counsel individuals who are worried, down, stressed out at work, frazzled or eager to get support for a change. I like working with folks who have difficulty concentrating, are in recovery or who have a dual-diagnosis. I also enjoy working with mothers, healthcare workers, and women seeking support for separation/divorce.

Thank you for considering my services. Life can hurt. Set-backs, emotional pain, social awkwardness, fear of anger, shame or rejection can block that which we desire most-loving nurturing relationships, affirmation from others, and self-valuing. I have been helping individuals and couples better achieve those desires for 40+ years. I bring a long history of a variety of skills to a mutually created process.
