Out of Network Therapists in Portland, OR

I offer counseling in a warm, supportive and interactive environment. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Washington and Oregon, with over fifteen years of clinical experience. I work with individual adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, work and/or school stress, self-esteem, feeling stuck, life transitions, communication and relationship difficulties, loss, and stress management.

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.

Do you feel like you’re expending a tremendous amount of energy just trying to keep your life together and often feel like you're falling short? It's time for a change. I work well with clients who are seeking help with stress management, anxiety, focus, and relationship issues. We will work on empowering you with greater understanding and awareness so you can develop tools and strategies to make positive changes in your life and reach your personal and professional goals.

Do you experience intense and unmanageable emotions? Do you often find yourself acting impulsively and engaging in self-defeating behaviors? Does it seem like you are simply surviving the journey of life rather than enjoying it? Change is possible! I am glad you are interested in counseling with me and I look forward to hearing your story. Through therapy I can help you learn new ways to cope with current difficulties, as well as heal old wounds. I will strive to help you discover your own inner strength and become your best self.

We all deserve to feel aligned, safe and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self-awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we feel healthy and fulfilled we are more likely to live with meaning. I utilize an integrative lens, centered in mindfulness, and somatic orientations to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, feelings, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. I address problems from a compassionate lens meeting clients where they are. Our work together involves expanding awareness of our inner minds, and our felt sense to move towards a more integrated 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 am currently accepting new clients. Helping people achieve a higher quality life with more joy never gets old. Working with full spectrum eating disorders, ranging from people who are grappling with bulimia, anorexia, binge eating, compulsive/emotional eating, to orthorexia. I address body image concerns by helping clients gain insight in order to develop effective coping mechanisms. My practice includes working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, feeling "stuck" or seeking a higher quality of life, social phobias, and obsessive compulsive issues.

I provide useful and in depth psychotherapy for Oregon, California, and NY residents. People are in a constant developmental process, whereby symptoms are signs of ongoing struggles to sort through past experiences while organizing oneself in present living. Depression, anxiety, & personality traits are markers of this process. Therapy with me would seek to aid in your understanding of how & why you live the way you do, and hopefully lead to change. My hope is that we can find a way for you to live more fully and for problems to be comprehensively understood, formulated and articulated, and resolved in a sustained way.

I am a clinician with years of training and broad experience that have brought about a deep understanding of how people come to feel and behave as they do. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, identity and self-esteem problems, relationship difficulties, pregnancy/postpartum adjustment, and those feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, honest, and professional. I strive to be a steady and supportive partner throughout the therapy process and facilitate an increasing understanding of your emotions, patterns, and areas of identity impacting many areas of your life. I find curiosity and humor to be important tools in the process.

Greetings. I love to help others. I have 21 years experience working as a seasoned, licensed mental health professional in Oregon and Idaho with a variety of clients and issues. I provide quality psychotherapy services. I use a holistic approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning. Please know that you are always in the driver seat during your experiences here. Perhaps I can help you too! I do not bill insurances but can provide an invoice for you to collect from insurance out of network .

Talking to a new person about the hards parts of your life can feel deeply vulnerable! Whether it’s coming to therapy for the first time, returning after a break, or transitioning therapists, I understand the bravery and inner strength that reaching out for help requires. I aim to make the process of coming to therapy easy by making folks feel respected, safe, and understood. I provide space where people can be human, share truths, and practice new skills. I’m accepting telehealth clients ages 13+ and am an out-of-network provider. Clients under 13 in need of support are recommended to do parent sessions with me.

OUT of NETWORK with insurance. Everyone has a story and I want to hear yours. I help clients develop self-awareness and self-empowerment so that you can heal your relationship with yourself and be in charge of your own life. I work from a fundamentally nonjudgmental lens and I view clients holistically, taking in all of the parts and pieces that make you who you are. I will never see you as a diagnosis. Goodness of fit is critical and I will personalize therapy to meet your unique needs. You might come in with one concern in mind, only to find out it's all connected! I believe humor and unconventional thinking will take us far.

I have been counseling for over ten years, and working with people is truly my passion. I work primarily with teens, adults, and couples. I specialize in self-harm behaviors, eating disorders, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem, and abuse issues. I also work with couples doing pre-marital counseling. As a Christian counselor I integrate Biblical truths with psychological principles. I believe it is the job of the counselor to provide a safe, supportive, challenging, and collaborative environment for each client that enters the office. I work with many insurance companies as an out-of-network provider.

My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals understand and work through life patterns that have, or continue to have, frustrating or disappointing outcomes. I provide help for a range of challenges to include anxiety, depression, abuse and other trauma, shame and self-esteem, stage of life transitions, and relationship difficulties. The invaluable work of moving through these difficulties in the safety of a therapeutic relationship can result in a stronger sense of self esteem, improved relationships, and a revitalized capacity to work and love. In addition to working with adults, I also specialize in the treatment of children and adolescents.
