Clayton Hartmann

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Oregon, with previous clinical experience including a wide range of hospital rotations and university clinical placements.

Jeff Whritenour
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I assist adults and couples with relationship difficulties, parenting, personal and professional life transitions, anxiety/depression, and loss. I use a combination of
mindfulness
, somatic and depth therapies to help clients develop greater self compassion and Love as the basis for meaningful living. When we feel misaligned with our core self, as a natural result of a life lived through the eyes of others, we can lose our sense of creative purpose. If connectedness to self and others lacks robustness, life can feel very unsatisfactory.
Jeffrey C. Peyton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, CADC-II
Verified
My approach is based on respect and compassion, while drawing on tools of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT),
mindfulness
practices, family systems, adolescent development and other evidence-based practices.
As an experienced adolescent therapist, I am passionate about helping teens and young adults figure out who they are, who they want to be, and the barriers keeping them from realizing these goals. I have assisted hundreds of adolescents through academic challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, substance use, ADHD, traumatic experiences, social anxiety and divorce. We work together to develop healthy ways to manage our emotional life, identify strengths which can support self-confidence and motivation, and learn to trust we are worthy of the love and connection we want in our relationships.
Cynthia Ferguson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
I hope you will find a welcome, safe place for healing and growth as we work together. Therapy sessions with me often include techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR),
mindfulness
techniques, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This means that, unlike traditional talk therapy, I often integrate interventions using back-and-forth eye movements to promote resolution from upsetting experiences using ART or EMDR. These approaches are different than hypnosis and are supported by positive outcomes in research studies as well as in my clinical experience.
Ocean Woods Bloch
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MA, SEP, LMFTA
Verified
I love to support clients to connect to their bodies, come into alignment with their authentic selves, and find greater presence and ease in their life and relationships. Through somatic and
mindfulness
based therapy, I will support you to increase awareness, presence, and ease in the moment, decreasing anxiety, stress, and worry. I love to support folks in this process, and to help you move through fear and uncertainty towards your goals and desires.
Danielle Render Turmaud
Professional Counselor Associate, PhD, NCC
Verified
I utilize and draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, STAIR, the UP Protocol,
mindfulness
practices, narrative therapy, art therapy practices, creative play and game therapy approaches, somatic approaches, and more.
In life, having a space where we can be seen, heard, accepted, and valued can be invaluable. My ultimate aim is to provide a counseling environment characterized by compassion and unconditional positive regard where together we can meet you authentically for who you are, right where you are, wherever that is. Whether you are coming to therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, or something else, I believe in a collaborative journey that provides a space for you to be, explore, grow, and heal.
Jocelyn Barda
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MS
Verified
I use somatic and attachment therapies,
mindfulness
techniques, family systems therapy, parts work and guided imagery.
Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.
Diana Crane
Professional Counselor Associate, MA, LPC-A, QMHP
Verified
I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on the client, though I most often use Humanistic and Person-Centered Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Therapy and
mindfulness
practices.
My counseling philosophy is rooted in the idea that all humans have the ability to grow and heal. No human being is broken, and most mental health struggles stem, in part, from difficult external circumstances, like a traumatic past or a flawed culture. Through active listening, reflection, and gentle challenging, I help you become better acquainted with yourself, so that you can live in closer alignment with your values. I specialize in working with eating disorders and body image distress, but I also work with anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles.

Verified
Therapy is largely inspired and informed by my training in Emotion Focused Therapy for Individuals and Couples, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Existential-Humanism, Family Systems Theories,
Mindfulness
and Experiential Interventions, Solution-Focused and the Gottman Method.
I specialize in relationships, assisting individuals and couples to deepen connection and heal the past. Therapy can be a transformational process of self-discovery facilitated by deeper levels of awareness and change. I believe we have an inherent ability to heal ourselves. I offer the experience of mindful observation, acceptance and compassion, so you may offer the same unconditional positive regard toward yourself and others. Sitting in close and conscious relationship with a skilled therapist can be a profound vehicle for this process. I use an integrative approach recognizing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist and I'm skilled at helping others to navigate an array of challenges by cultivating growth, building skills, deepening insight and awareness, and fostering meaningful relationships. My approach is rooted in
mindfulness
to build awareness and insight into one's thoughts, feelings, actions, and personal experience. With increased awareness you will be able to "slow down" and better understand what is happening so you can respond effectively to challenges rather than react in old, unhelpful ways. I will also teach you skills to help you relate to yourself and others with kindness.

groups to help clients feel more present and connected.
Are you feeling stuck, lost, or like you're on autopilot? I strive to create a safe space for you to explore where you are at in life, where you want to go, and how we can get you there together. My goals are to empower you to make changes based on your personal values and what you’re wanting for yourself, to help you connect to the things that are most important to you at this time in your life, and to walk alongside you (and cheer you on!) as you realize your own strengths.

Life's difficulties provide us with an opportunity for healing and personal growth. My counseling practice helps people take advantage of these opportunities by encouraging self-knowledge and understanding. Whether you are struggling with new, unexpected pain or you want to work on a long-standing issue, I can provide you with the professional guidance to help you through grief and loss, anxiety and worry, depression, destructive anger patterns, addictive behaviors, relationship problems, family of origin issues, childhood sexual abuse, sexual identity issues, recovery from harmful religious indoctrination, and spiritual struggles.

As as a fat, white, queer femme, I live and practice within my values of feminism and anti-oppression. My therapeutic style is curious, respectful, humorous, and humble.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
For clients in Portland with chronic pain, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and other health issues such as anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or MBCT, is a two-part therapy that aims to reduce stress, manage pain, and embrace the freedom to respond to situations by choice. MCBT blends two disciplines--cognitive therapy and mindfulness. Mindfulness helps by reflecting on moments and thoughts without passing judgment. MBCT clients pay close attention to their feelings to reach an objective mindset, thus viewing and combating life's unpleasant occurrences.
