Therapy with me is not about "fixing you"—it’s about supporting you in reconnecting with your strength, finding clarity, and moving through life with more ease and a stronger sense of self. Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative space to make sense of your experience while honoring all the parts of who you are—your identity, your story, your values, as well as the pain you carry. Whether you’re navigating the shifts of parenthood, grieving a loss, wrestling with depression, anxiety, and trauma, or facing a crossroads, my practice offers a steady space to recenter, explore, and move forward with clarity and authenticity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or trying to make sense of your relationships and where to go next? I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, low-mood, communication, or feeling unsure of themselves and their decisions.

My approach begins with appreciation for your life story and recognizing your strengths, because you have survived 100% of your hardest days so far. Using mindfulness & somatic/ relaxation techniques to establish a sense of safety, we can allow distressing memories to resurface and be re-processed with EMDR to address patterns and enhance healing.

The idea of starting therapy can be intimidating. As a society, we are conditioned to believe that therapy is only for those who have “something wrong” with them. For many, that belief can lead to carrying feelings of shame, low self-worth, and frustration that they can’t move past it. As a therapist, I want to help you understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Rather, it is my hope that together, we can shift from asking “what’s wrong with me?” to “what happened to me to lead me here?”

I’ve been an LCSW in Oregon for the past four years, working in diverse settings—from people’s homes to the emergency department. I understand how difficult it can be to find a therapist who is truly ready to meet you where you’re at. I’m here to do just that, offering support and guidance as we work together on your journey, no matter where it leads.

Are you looking for a safe and affirming place where you can be your authentic self without judgment?
Therapy can help you to clarify who you are, what you believe, and the path you want to take. The act of being alive involves change and growth and therapy can help you do that in a supported and accelerated way. Life’s transitions and obstacles can be made more difficult from the interplay of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and systemic forces in your life. I am happy to use fresh eyes to help untangle difficulties in order to reset the path you would like to take.

I am passionate about working with individuals with a history of trauma to reconnect with themselves, and learn how to move forward with greater self-acceptance and clarity. You may be carrying the effects of trauma, whether recent or long ago, and finding that it shapes how you relate to yourself, others, or the world around you. As a Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington and Oregon, I strive to offer a culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming space that is mindful of how systemic and social factors shape our lived experiences.

My clients often feel stuck in painful relationship cycles or disconnected from themselves and those they love. They may struggle with communication, intimacy/sex, grief, body image, or life transitions, and long to feel seen, valued, and understood. Many want healthier patterns, stronger bonds, and a more authentic connection with themselves and others. I provide a safe, affirming space to explore these challenges with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping clients move toward clarity, intimacy, and deeper fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

My ideal clients are often people who have spent their lives holding it all together. They were the sensitive kid, the responsible one, the high achiever, the perfectionist. They feel deeply and have pushed through anxiety, stress, and overwhelm for years.
Many come to therapy after hitting a wall. The strategies that once helped them succeed are no longer working. I use a compassionate, somatic, and trauma-informed approach, including Brainspotting, to help clients process anxiety and trauma, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we create a path toward lasting change and greater ease.

My name is Constance Thorsnes. I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 5 years. My goal in therapy is to help individuals feel calmer and more confident by acting in ways that align with their personal values. I primarily work with professionals, graduate students, and parents suffering from stress, personal conflict, anxiety, the effects of trauma, family issues, and marital conflict. The rapport I share with my clients allows us to explore difficult thoughts and feelings using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an Existential-Humanistic framework, and Brainspotting.

Important relationships are not meant to just survive, but to thrive. This happens when there is a strong desire to stop just surviving and to boldly begin the individual and relationship work needed to create a strong synergistic bond.

You are each a unique individual and have within you great potential to make desired changes in your life. The relationship between client and therapist is based on trust and the hope-filled possibility of making those desired changes.

I view therapy as having the ability to assist clients in unlocking the innate internal resources needed to promote individual and systemic growth, leading to meaningful change. I implore a liberatory approach by analyzing the client’s context within the systems theory framework and the effects of interpersonal interactions on the client. I aim to provide a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment to support client’s mental health regardless of cultural or personal identities such as race, gender, or sexual orientation.

The therapeutic relationship is a sacred space where a client feels safe enough to be vulnerable, to challenge deeply held patterns, and to begin the courageous work of transformation. My primary mission is to cultivate trust with every client I have the privilege of serving. I believe that trust is not given, but carefully and collaboratively co-created!
