Spirituality Therapists in Salem, OR

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.

Are you an empathic woman who easily feels and holds the energy of what's around you? Do you have difficulty knowing if your thoughts or emotions really belong to you? Are you holding on to past experiences that cause you distress? Are you seeking a holistic and integrative aligned solution to let go of unwanted energy? As an LPC with a Ph.D in counseling psychology and certifications as a Reiki master, clinical hypnotherapist, past life regression hypnotherapist & integrative medicine, I am able to blend these complimentary techniques to help you understand and release what no longer serves you.

Are you ready to find the keys which will unlock the doors to your better life? Whether you are depressed, anxious or trying to make sense of difficult and traumatic past events, we will work together to find solutions in a safe, welcoming environment.

We are a practice group of licensed psychologists, social workers and professional counselors that provide mental health services in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. We provide individual, couple, family, and group therapy, for ages 4 years old and up.

It is my honor to help people live life to their fullest potential. Whatever obstacles may be in your way to living a fulfilling life of love, health, happiness, abundance and compassion, I can help you find the strength and insight within yourself to overcome. I believe that we all have purpose and power in this life to be shared with ourselves and others. Sometimes we become lost on our way, or perhaps misguided and unhappy, and with a little help, we can create a purposeful, loving life. I offer a holistic approach and specialize in the mind-body connection.

As a Spiritual Director, my role is to respond to those who have a desire to discover the presence of God in all life's moments. If you are looking for a safe and open space for that journey, I am happy to journey with you. Life experiences have a way of influencing how we see ourselves and others. It is in paying attention to our inner lives that the soul begins to thrive. I companion those from various faith backgrounds as well as those who are feeling the 'tug' to know more about the soul.

**Currently accepting new clients** As a Christian, you want to experience and reflect the love of God in your heart, mind, soul, strength (body), and relationships. You may want to have a vibrant, intimate marriage. You long for greater peace, to feel loved, to find joy. You may desire a greater sense of purpose and connection in your life. But what do you do when the reality of daily life feels FAR from that? This is where I come in. Through telehealth, I work with couples & individuals of all faiths to address a range of concerns including relationship challenges, intimacy issues, anxiety, eating challenges, & trauma recovery.

My name is Carlene Shultz and I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience as a therapist helping people heal from trauma and the effects of childhood abuse, substance use and co-dependence; navigate life transitions; create and nurture the relationships in their lives (including Self relationship); and develop and strengthen their spritual base. People come to see me with concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties or emerging awareness of the presence of addictive or abusive patterns in their lives. I help them identify inner gifts, unlocked blocked potential and transform their lives.

Founder-President of NWIICT 355 High Street SE Salem, Oregon 97301 503-881-0513 Email: davidimanock@gmail.com I received my Ph.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Psychology in Pasadena, California. I also hold two master’s degrees: MS. MFT and M.Div. I have been involved in Higher Education since 1999 and practice psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families since 1996.

My practice is culturally specific to the BIPOC community and 100% Telehealth. I’ll be happy to discuss how therapy or coaching can help you achieve where you want to be in life. I provide a free 20 min consultation where we can assess what your particular needs are or check out what I’ve written on my website to learn more. My ideal clients are BIPOC professionals who are results-oriented. For the past 20 plus years,I have worked well with clients who are seeking help with trauma, racism, stress, managing relationship issues, goal attainment, or issues related to emotion, self-esteem, mood disorders, and SUD.

I have found in my 16 years of work with diverse individuals that healing of emotional pain comes best from cultivating deeper self-acceptance—and more fully recognizing your own inherent capacity to experience love, fulfillment, and prosperity. It would be an honor to help you navigate your way through anxiety, depression, hurt, and/or shame to arrive at a warm celebration of your own intrinsic worth. To support this positive unfolding, I have been integrating the wisdom of many spiritual traditions into my sessions with clients. More and more, I find that there is virtually no limit to how wonderful being alive can feel.

Sometimes a sense of depression can be an alert to a spiritual emptiness or exhaustion that does not benefit from being pathologized or vilified as something "wrong" with you. It can signal an opportunity to release yourself from distractions and limitations that do not serve your deeply held values. If you want to explore your broken heart or disconnection in a holistic way, I invite you to begin the conversation to discover its deeper purpose. I work with individuals age 14 +, exploring the meaning in life, who want to develop healthy ways of managing distress, navigating change and creating opportunity for self-discovery.

My psychotherapy approach values you as a whole person, in depth. I relate to each individual as a person rather than a label, and so each person's therapy experience is unique. Those who come to me for therapy bring a wide range of concerns, aims and hopes. I work with people struggling, for example, with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, life transitions, spiritual concerns, work concerns, physical illness/pain, search for meaning and purpose, and creativity concerns. I see the difficulties and suffering an individual brings to therapy as an entry point toward healing and growth.

Currently taking new clients. Life is hard and sometimes you need a safe place to talk and have someone fully listen and share with you in your difficult issues or life experiences. Whether it's depression, anxiety, grief or a difficult life transition, being open and honest is the first step toward healing and growth. Facing painful feelings is hard but it is also very rewarding. Sometimes changing one thing (talking to a counselor) can begin a positive shift and new momentum in the other areas of your life. I only offer telehealth sessions at this time. I am currently taking new clients and am available mainly 8am to 5pm.

I have a private practice with a focus on the treatment of adult individuals and couples. I am a good fit for anyone who likes a modern, interactive style with direct feedback.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal and lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Everyone does the best with what they have and that life presents significant challenges and all of our behaviors makes sense in context. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family or relational systems, circular patterns, external systems, and learned behaviors that once had a functional purpose but no longer do. I consider health to be the culmination of mental, physical, spiritual, and relational states, and I will work from this inclusive and holistic perspective.

I believe in and help to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship based on compassion, trust, and humility. As a psycho-spiritual counselor with a holistic perspective, I work with mind, body, spirit connections, and as such I see my clients as full of potential and creativity. I am deeply interested in the emerging field of psilocybin assisted therapy and I am happy to work with clients as they integrate their own personal journeys. I have a passion for social and environmental justice, and as an ever-aspiring multicultural counselor, I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles.

You will receive the fastest response back by emailing me. There are times we come to when we need some support, especially after the year we just endured. I am honored to sit with individuals during these times to work on whatever struggles you have faced and how these times have affected you. I enjoy listening and hearing about the personal journeys of others and believe it is important to address the needs of the entire person. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in overcoming your challenges, identify and break patterns and to help you become the person you want to be.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS for face to face and telehealth. I accept private pay with sliding scale if needed. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but healing is a process of recovering to ones’ true self. I have created an environment that is safe so each client can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Each session will be directed by the client with an opportunity to develop skills to work through daily trials, past trauma and any future obstacles.
