Therapists in Salem, OR

Hello! my name is Melissa and I would be honored to listen and engage with you in your story. Regardless of what you are going through, I believe that there is healing in having the support of another along the journey. Life is full of challenges, leaving you feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, or grieving loss. Therapy can be a daunting journey to embark on, but I hope that my office can become a safe and comforting space, where we can work together as you learn new boundaries and coping skills, heal current and past wounds, and become more confident and grounded in who you are.

You're smart, but you've always wondered why you feel awkward and different. Why is it so hard to talk to people, or navigate office politics, or cope with stress? You've heard about adults diagnosed with ASD later in life, and it sounds familiar. Adult Autism Assessment & Services is a neurodiversity-affirming practice specializing in autism assessment for adults, especially women, trans, and nonbinary folk. We also provide ADHD and sensory processing assessment. Many of our clinicians are neurodivergent themselves, so we understand. After a lifetime of "pretending to be normal" t's OK to finally unmask and be your true self.

**Currently taking new clients** I believe that everyone has the ability and strength to make the changes they desire in their life. Some people need a place to explore how to do this, and this is where I can help. I see my role in the therapeutic process as providing a non-judgmental space to help clients clarify what changes they want to pursue, and guide them as they find their own strength and self-determination to make those changes. I use a client-centered approach with some CBT techniques. I have a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am a member of the ACA, following their Code of Ethics.

I specialize in work with individuals who experience Anxiety Disorders (OCD, General Anxiety, Phobias), Depression, Insomnia, Autism Spectrum Disorders as well as those with medical or complex presentations (e.g. depression and diabetes). I believe therapy must involve a human connection and have come to find a good sense of humor is critical to the work done in therapy. Without a strong therapeutic relationship, it is nearly impossible to make progress. However, within the context of a collaborative, supportive environment, CBT tools can be very useful. When CBT tools are not helpful, eccentric evidence-based practices may be.

I have expertise in helping adults address trauma, relationship difficulties with family or romantic partners, and problematic sexual arousal and/or behaviors. I am a therapist who focuses on doing deep work with clients. I am interested in helping people make lasting changes that bring true empowerment and life transformation. Whether you are ready to hit the ground running in your own change process, or are not yet convinced therapy can actually help you, I am ready to meet you where you are at and explore what might be possible.

Hello, I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oregon and Colorado. I approach counseling with the understanding that all clients are doing the best they can with what they know. As an experienced therapist I explore with the client what is getting in the way of living a healthy and satisfying life. Together we determine the best direction counseling should go to reach their goals. I use an integrated psychotherapy approach that is tailored to work with the client’s strengths, personality, and abilities. My specialties are DBT skills training, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Mindful

I work with a wide age range of clients. I believe there is a real value in psychotherapy across the developmental spectrum. I enjoy working with new parents and their infants, children and their families, adolescents and young adults to the mature and elderly. Every stage has its challenges and its potential for growth.

Greetings neighbors. I am a person-centered therapist. I believe you are the expert of your life, and it’s my job to help you identify and overcome obstacles in life that are keeping you from experiencing true happiness and joy. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are facing difficult challenges in their lives, by being supportive, affirming, and helping identify unwanted and disruptive behaviors and thinking patterns.

I have been a licensed therapist for 19 year. I have worked in a variety of settings from working with families and children and adolescents with behavioral and mental health disorders to adults in a hospital setting to private practice. I am specialty trained in treating the psychological aspect of pain and health conditions utilizing a variety of techniques. In addition, I have been teaching graduate and undergraduate psychology full time at Oregon State University since moving to Oregon 9 years ago.

Exploring the ways in which your life events and experiences have impacted you requires curiosity and courage. If you're feeling stuck and wondering how to move forward, know that you don't have to do it alone. Our time together is a place to connect, feel safe, open up and be heard. Life can get messy, complicated and painful; the first steps in healing is deciding you want something different and want support to accomplish your goals. My intention as your therapist is to empower you to feel more at peace with the ups and downs of life to sustain personal wellness.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by distressing emotions or stuck in a loop, you are not alone. Often, when we begin to notice that our mental health needs tending to, we might feel more isolated than ever. Or we might believe we deserve to suffer on our own. If 2020 has taught us anything, hopefully we can now see that caring for our mental wellbeing is a necessary and universal pursuit. So, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, now is the perfect time to start therapy.
