Therapists Beginning With T in Oregon

Do you feel stuck? Do you want to change the way you move through the world, and do you want someone to walk alongside you on your journey? Change is deeply personal, and requires a safe place to explore the reasons why you can't figure out how to move forward. I would be honored to provide that space and to journey with you. Let me help you gain a deeper awareness of yourself and in the process, discover inner joy.

"What's wrong with me" "I'm tired of this" "No one understands me" "Will things stay like this forever", are these some of the thoughts that run through your head? If so I am here to help you understand and assist you in getting a better understanding of what is going on in your life. For some of us life can bring some significant challenges, stressors or transitions that just have "you stuck" in unproductive patterns in relationships, work, school or just life in general. I am a Clinical Social Worker who wants to help people transform personal challenges into life-enhancing opportunities.

I specialize in an interpersonally-oriented/psychoanalytic approach to therapy.

Whether you are preparing for a new chapter in life, going through a crisis, or grieving a loss, life is easier when we get the support we need. I provide counseling in a safe, judgment-free environment where we can work together to sort out your current situation, learn tools, and set goals.

I specialize in trauma & PTSD, MST, survivors of sexual trauma & domestic violence as well as anxiety. I believe that clients are capable of overcoming their struggles when given the opportunity in a safe, supportive space. I facilitate this process using DBT therapy as well as solution focused, person centered and strength based approaches. I partner with horses and in this hands-on, experiential approach to your therapy, you will learn about yourself and have the opportunity to try new skills & behaviors by participating in activities with horses. No horse experience necessary! I have group Veteran integrative programs too.

As a clinical psychologist trained as an integrationist, I enjoy working with people from a holistic perspective. I believe it is important to consider not only what is going on in the present, but also what has happened developmentally, biologically, interpersonally,and cognitively. In addition to conceptualizing our experiences as people from a systems perspective, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy using a DBT-informed frame of practice. What this means is that change comes about by learning new behaviors in a variety of contexts while balancing the reality of a person's situation and skill level with acceptance.

Our lives are made up of relationships, whether they be familial, romantic, or friendly. These relationships can be sources of both great joy and great conflict, and can have a huge impact on our daily lives and well-being. Relational therapy gives you the opportunity to work on any issues that may have arisen in your relationship, and it can also highlight some of your relationship's greatest strengths. In our work together, we can rebuild, repair, and strengthen the important relationships in your life. I understand that your life is busy and time is limited. For your convenience, I offer limited evening and weekend appointments.

You're a woman who works hard for success. But you feel unsatisfied with where your life is at...with your job, your relationships, your lack of time. You may be fed up with working long hours but still not meeting deadlines, feeling overwhelmed by the tasks that are before you and never having time to see your partner. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel accomplished at the end of the day. You’re ready to have time for YOU. Most of all, you’re ready to have more connection in your life.

Are you struggling to live the life you want? Do you keep finding yourself in the same place without knowing how to change? Current situations and events can trigger old pain & trauma which can be confusing & negatively impact relationships. They can also lead to creating misguided stories that you tell yourself and that keep you anxious or in fight/flight states. I believe we sometimes need help untangling and making sense of our experiences and/or trauma in life in order to thrive. Through non-judgmental warmth, compassion and self-reflection, we re-wire old thoughts and behaviors and help you live a more authentic life.

I am currently providing telehealth appointments. Are you seeking therapy for yourself, your child, or marriage? Are you sad? Anxious? Are you worried about your teen? Are you having trouble in a romantic relationship? Have you recently experienced a loss? Whatever you are facing, you don't have to do it alone. I want join you in the process of healing and changing. Together, we will revisit the values that motivate you to pursue change and work to pursue your goals through experiences both in and out of session.

Are you someone who wants to know themselves more deeply and is motivated for change? You may want to address existential or identity issues or adjust to recent changes in your life. You may be in a grieving process or recovering from a traumatic experience or you might be having challenges in your personal relationships or just have a desire to increase your creativity. In any case you have a desire to change and grow in a direction that is both fulfilling and freeing. My clients are people who are not afraid to address their past, work hard in the present and are on a quest to engage in a more hopeful future.

Chronic stress and traumatic events can leave us stuck in "fight or flight" mode, where we find ourselves constantly triggered. In this state, we may not recognize that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are directly related to the alarm signals going off in our brain. Mental health and physical health can both improve when we respond appropriately to stress and address the other effects of trauma. When we are balanced instead of triggered, our responses reflect our true selves and we can have more connnecting relationships with others.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, body image, bullying, social media stressors, challenging relationships, work and/or school burn out, trauma, or any other issue that is affecting your life?

For the past 12 years she has been a part of a large group practice individual therapy to adults. Her primary interest is working with adult individuals who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and life stage changes. Kristi welcomes diverse populations and works to provide a safe space for anyone seeking therapy.

Is anxiety, low self-esteem, or low mood holding you back from living your life? Or maybe you want to change behaviors that don't align with your values and goals? I help my clients overcome old patterns, build confidence, increase their capacity to live in the present. With a multimodal approach, I make sure to meet my clients where they are and use the approach that plays to my clients' strengths. Like hypnosis, a peaceful state that promotes deep learning, my other modalities work with body and mind to promote profound change.

Recently adding Relational Life approaches into my treatment, I believe that we all have developed adaptive patterns that were formed from our past and worked then, but can stop working as we move forward. These adaptive patterns may keep us; unhappy, disconnected and isolated or angry, hurt and lonely. I can teach you new ways to live in the world that help you get what you seek.

Everyday we make choices from the very mundane like what we have for breakfast or which shirt to wear, to the life changing like taking a new job, getting married, or moving somewhere you've never been. However easily these questions (and others) may be answered by some, there are many who have difficulty because the answers are not always so clear. Counseling can help in these moments of uncertainty. Whether it is a few hours of voicing your concerns or sever months of assistance, a counselor can help you tackle life challenges more easily.

Finding grace and serenity and balance in life is no easy task - even with the foundation of a supportive, liberating childhood; miraculously healthy personal boundaries; and true friends, colleagues, mentors, and lovers. Self-sabotage, self-doubt, seemingly mistaken paths: we're all vulnerable. We find ourselves yearning for an elusive guidebook - to rewrite our lifestory or escape from sometimes paralyzing anguish. All the more so if an overlay of fresh or longstanding trauma (heartbreak, grief, abuse, crises of health, home, or employment) overwhelms and destabilizes us or undermines our ability to trust, to forgive our missteps, even to breathe deep.

I work with adults of all ages who are looking to create sustainable change on their path to achieving authenticity and wholeness. I believe each individual possess their own unique strengths and knowledge that they can access to overcome obstacles and manage life transitions. Utilizing a holistic, client-centered, and strength-based approach, I support the individual in empowering their ability to be their own change agents to achieve optimum emotional and spiritual wellbeing and cultivate the life they desire.
