Therapists Beginning With Q in Oregon

I work mainly with teens, families, and young adults. I also see a handful of older adults. My practice is about half female and half male clients. I see a wide range of psychological problems and have particular expertise in the treatment of ADHD/ADD (frequently paired with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and sometimes, trauma). I find ADD is often missed in girls because they act out less. When I work with teens I routinely include parents in some, or most of the sessions. I particularly enjoy supporting young adults who are working on the transition to independent living and/or college.

Is your child having behavioral problems which are interfering with school, family, or friendships? Are you wondering if the behavior is normal or if he/she will outgrow it? I use a variety of evidence base practices to help collaborate with the family in restoring balance. Is your teen defiant, distant or abusing substances? I specialize with working with adolescents with a variety of substance use and/or mental health symptoms. I thoroughly enjoy working with teens who have addiction and mental health issues.

I believe that the practice of being human is an incredibly complex, difficult, amazingly messy and yet wonderfully beautiful process. While life can be complicated and painful, it can also be rewarding and full of joy. However, when we are in one state it is often hard to even imagine the other. Therapy can be a safe and supportive place in which to reconcile the difference and to learn the relationship between the two. We can often muddle through the difficulties on our own but sometimes it helps to have someone objective, compassionate and skilled to help us through.

Hi and welcome! If you're feeling anxious and overwhelmed right now, I would love to support you right where you are at. I am a personal coach, entrepreneur and musical artist dedicated to helping people heal and grow. Whether you're trying to follow a big dream, trying to get back on your feet or just trying to get through the day, I see you and I hear you. What I can offer you are tangible skills to help you solve the problems you perceive in your life, ground your body and reconnect with your heart.

My approach to treatment includes a combination of both Cognitive-Behavioral and Narrative theories. These two approaches aim to look at how thoughts and ideas influence emotions and effect behaviors and decisions. In addition, this approach attempts to separate the problem from the individual and often uses homework assignments, journaling, and mindfulness exercises as therapeutic interventions. I believe that the counseling experience is a sacred one. You, as the client, have the power to make healthy and helpful choices in your life. It is my role to assist you in this journey.

I have worked with individuals and families for over 20 years, specializing in Autism, anxiety, and executive functioning. I do psychological treatment, consultation, and groups (depending on interest and availability). In treatment, I help individuals become more aware of themselves and their needs, build social relationships, and self advocate. I help families identify what their children have difficulty with and what accommodations are needed to help them. The goal of my therapy is independence, for individuals and families.

Fast heartbeat, stomach in knots— worry has become your constant companion. Right now, everything feels as if it is covered in a veil of "what-ifs." The hopelessness and depression are growing. In the midst of it all, it can seem as if there is no way out—that these emotions will last forever. You're tired of life feeling dreary, tiresome and hopeless. The anxiety and sadness have gone on far too long. It's a lonely and isolating place to be. You can't help but wonder, "How long can I go on this way?!" There is hope. Therapy can help anyone—including you! Armed with the right tools, you can overcome the fear and sadness.

If you feel hopeless or unsupported, or you feel depressed or anxious...or if your husband or wife or partner isn't willing to talk about problems, I offer professional, supportive, empathic, and good-humored help. I'm a psychologist, researcher, and former clinical supervisor and professor at The Wright Institute, in Berkeley, California, who helps adults and teens facing difficulties and dilemmas, and couples with low to high conflict, including infidelity, who may want to save--or simply improve--their relationship.

Do you feel lost, like you aren't sure who you are or where you are going? Do you miss being a kid? Or perhaps you have a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you. I can help. Whether you would like to improve your relationships with partners, friends, or family, explore feelings of grief in your own way without pressure to "get back to normal already," or find that sense of self and purpose that you might be missing, I provide a safe and confidential environment to process thoughts and feelings and gain insight, feedback and understanding.

Covid-19 may be taking a toll emotionally, financially and practically. If you are finding yourself feeling emotionally altered and without a place to process your feelings confidentially, please contact me. As your counselor, I will provide a nonjudgmental, confidential, and attentive setting in which you can express yourself honestly. The counseling experience will allow you to verbalize feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that may contribute to your area of concern.
