Gambling Therapists in Tualatin, OR

My therapeutic style is person-centered, strengths-focused, and relational. You can expect sessions to feel warm, compassionate, affirming, and collaborative. I help clients better understand themselves by drawing connections between the way they are feeling and the family and social systems they are part of.

Challenges we encounter in our lives are indicators of being "stuck" in our personal and relational growth. Psychotherapy can help us get "unstuck".... My approach is process and relationally oriented - "solutions" can come from changing our relationships with ourselves and others in our lives, and restructuring ourselves as we work with our life challenges. Depression, anxiety, trauma, men's issues, relationship strain, addictions -substances/alcohol, gambling, shopping, pornography, gaming. My experience can be helpful - psychotherapist, crisis worker, clinical supervisor, administrator, manager, policy analyst and educator.

Wild Wish Counseling is a clinical group practice that offers support to individuals across all ages and identities. Through various services and treatment options, we offer an eclectic style of therapy.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or hopeless? Can't get your needs met to your satisfaction? Do you find one or more areas of your life to be unfullfilling such as romantic relationship, work, parenting, extended family? Do you have legal or financial struggles or relationship conflicts that affect your mood significantly? I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, experience in working with past clients and personal experience to collaborate with you in creating the best healing environment specific for you.

Have you ever noticed yourself feeling trapped in a situation, looking for something to help you escape and distract yourself? Or found yourself wanting to change a behavior or routine because that pattern no longer works for you? Maybe a little of both? We often find ourselves feeling stuck in life, wishing that we could change something about ourselves, our situation, or our environment. We look for solutions and sometimes find that we don’t have everything we need to make the change, that it’s not the right time, or that we don’t have as much control over the situation as we would like.

I work together with my clients toward more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. These bring about lasting positive change. I treat a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addictions, interpersonal issues (i.e. couples counseling), psycho-spiritual/religious conflicts and abuse, sexuality, and pragmatic life-coaching, to name a few. I have extensive experience working with the LGBT community, some "out," others not; some religious, others not. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT) when indicated, coupled with mindfulness techniques. I also explore with my clients deeper-seated issues, including exploring our "shadows" and the roots of addiction and shame. I serve adolescents and adults.

My name is Maggie McCarron, I am a LPC in Oregon. I work with adults struggling with a variety of concerns. Every person is unique, which means I work personally with you to understand who you are, what goals you have and what you are looking for in therapy to help your life get back on track. My hope is to offer a safe space for you to accomplish this by gaining a deeper understanding and awareness of yourself. These understandings come from evidenced based depth models including psychodynamic, attachment based, and behavioral therapies.

From struggling to THRIVING. Become more fully "yourself." Enjoy relationship satisfaction. Strengthen connection to something bigger that is meaningful. Get relief from depression and anxiety (really!). Improve effectiveness at work. Feel more at home in your body, content. Mindful and present. LAUGH. Choosing a therapist that is both really good AND a great fit is important. There is a difference here you will experience from the get go. The office is in a 1930's Cape Cod style house...inviting & comfortable. With warmth and character. David is unusually relational and "real." Sessions are 60, 75 or 90 minutes rather than 50.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to! An accepting person, who will hold space and just listen. As a natural listener, I am honored to do that. I have a gentle approach as a therapist. I focus on helping you notice unhelpful or flawed thought patterns, identify and understand your innate strengths, and above all being a non-judgmental presence for you. Much of what I provide may be termed “talk-therapy” or reflective listening. I see the client as the expert in their own experiences, while I, myself, take the role of a gentle guide or co-pilot through your process.
