Therapists in Newberg, OR

Accepting NEW Clients on Mondays beginning late January. You did it! You made the first step of asking for support, and that is a huge step. If you are stressed, overwhelmed, dealing with change (which we always are), feeling alone, anxious, or struggling with whatever life has thrown at you, please know you don't have the go through it all alone. We are meant to connect with one another and therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental connection that can lead to promising outcomes.

At this time I am only providing individual psychotherapy and only via telehealth (online). I typically see people who experience depression, anxiety, anger, stress, persistent relationship difficulties, personality problems or self-concept issues. I have a particular interest in working with men regarding the issues listed above.

Newberg Counseling & Wellness is here for you. Our team of experienced, licensed therapists works with children, teens, parents, families, marriage, couples, men’s and women’s issues, LGBTQ identifying clients, adults for a range of concerns: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship problems and people in seasons of change of all kinds.

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! My name is Tarin Bickford and I've been a clinical social worker for more than two decades. My approach to therapy is multi-faceted and I incorporate many modalities into my work (although I primarily use cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment and solution-focused therapy).

Over the years what I consistently hear from individuals who come to my office is that they are looking for a place to not just understand why they feel the way they do, but to also get help making changes so they can live more abundently. Often times distress comes not just from the past, but also from not understanding why events that happened sometimes years ago are still impacting them today. More than this, they want to both discover and be aided toward making changes necessary to have a more fulfilling life.

My approach to counseling is to walk alongside you in your journey towards wellness. My main goal is to assist you in developing insight, discovering who you want to be, as well as change the behaviors that keep you from reaching your goals. I provide guidance and understanding but most importantly I provide a safe, trustworthy and loving environment.

Life can be overwhelming and challenging at times, often leaving us lost or stuck as to how to move forward. My hope is to build a therapeutic relationship to understand your unique needs so that I can best support you in moving towards your desired goals. My job is to help you recognize the negative thinking patterns or behaviors that keep you stuck. Many of these challenges can cause the self-sabotaging behaviors leading to addiction or symptoms that interfere with reaching your goals. Addiction, trauma and shame often go hand in hand increasing the difficulty people have in navigating the challenges of life.

Do the challenges of life have you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and confused? Life is difficult, and despite all of our efforts it gets the best of everyone from time to time. Counseling is a unique process that can afford you a valuable opportunity to enrich your relationships, gain greater skills for living, valuable insight, and a sense of direction into your life. As a licensed professional therapist I am specifically trained to help people develop new solutions to life's problems. My goal is to help you live the best life possible.

If you are looking for confidential, professional and respectful counseling, you have come to the right place. If you have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship or family struggles... our group of qualified therapists will work with you on improving areas of your life so you gain control. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We will work with you to better understand and resolve challenges in your life and help you discover what may be holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Behavior change is difficult, even when you know the rewards that will follow. I am a licensed psychologist who has been providing psychological assessments and evidence-based treatment for children, teens, and adults, while also providing treatment for anxiety and mood conditions. Do you or a loved one has difficulty at school, work, or with relationships? Are you concerned about your child's social development? Are you wondering if your child has ADHD or a learning disability? Are you concerned about changes with your parent's memory or behavior? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then he can help.

I am a licensed psychologist working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have a person-centered approach to counseling that focuses on the biopsychosocial spiritual view of others. I practice from an integrative approach to diversity and multicultural aspects of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an emphasis of treatment. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and a certified compassion fatigue specialist. I am also trained in CBT-I as well as play therapy. I can work with clients in person or via Thera-link an online platform.

Are you struggling to connect with your child? Are you repeating "No" "Don't" and "Stop" statements all day long? Challenges with our children can often lead to feelings of shame, embarrassment and frustration; you are not alone. While I wish there was a manual for how to respond to each challenge that arises, I am realistic and transparent in recognizing there is no "one size fits all" approach to parenting. You and your child are the experts of your experiences, and I hope to utilize your strengths and work alongside you as you identify your goals and work to pursue your vision of wellness.

I work with a variety of concerns; trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, abandonment, and others. I use an integrative approach leaning heavily on attachment theory. I have also spent significant time working with children and adolescents with complex trauma and/or abandonment. I believe that people have an inherent resiliency, even if it seems lost for a time and people can often find it within themselves to heal and grow with help when needed. My time with clients is spent looking for the ways in which that healing and growth can be realized.

No one makes it through life without picking up stuff that weighs us down or holds us back. Counseling gives us the chance to examine why we're carrying this stuff around and how to let go of it. By using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy along with a mixture of therapeutic styles, we will work together to uncover the thoughts and beliefs that drive your emotions and behaviors so that you can move forward in your life with confidence. My associates and I work with adults of all ages and with any level of mental health goals or concerns.

My goal is to help make counseling feel comfortable, safe, and at your pace. We will work collaboratively to help you find your strength, feel empowered and confident, and rediscover meaning and purpose in your life. Talking through past or present tough experiences or hurts can be difficult. It’s tempting to try and ignore them or minimize how they are impacting you. Therapy can be a safe space to help you take the time needed to address your feelings in a way that will help you truly heal from the hurt, and discover how to engage with yourself in a healthy way that enables you to move forward.

Life can lead us down some pretty confusing paths sometimes, leaving us feeling crazy, unsettled, and totally lost. You don't have to feel like this forever. I work with individuals, couples, and teens who are really going through it - anxiety, panic and stress, relationship issues, PTSD, and unresolved issues that continue to impact current life. Many of my clients are insightful, curious, growth-oriented people who are seeking something beyond traditional therapy. My focus is on helping you to UN-learn all the crap you've taken on over the years that is weighing you down and freeing up whatever it is that seems to be stuck.

I'm so glad you've found my page. I see myself as someone who can encourage, teach, guide, empower, collaborate, and just "sit" with my clients. I will provide a nonjudgmental space to support you, provide problem solving and practical strategies, offer new perspectives, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and help you gain clarity and confidence. I have a direct approach to therapy; I aim to be forthcoming in our sessions, yet in a way that is honoring to you. My clients are experts on their own lives and I aim to draw on their expertise to facilitate change.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am honored to walk along beside you guiding, teaching, supporting, and encouraging during this journey of exploration, change, and acceptance. May your final destination be learning to live a life you want to be present in.

Do you find that small, unforeseeable incidents trigger intense emotions you’re unable to cope with? It may feel like your life is a struggle. You do your best to cope with it all, but you cannot seem to find a balance. What’s more, you’ve experienced a traumatic experience in your life, and you’re not sure how to move forward. As an LGBTQI+ individual, it feels as though you don’t fit anywhere in the world. Living life with a negative outlook can be difficult, and it feels as though every thought spirals into a worse one. Know that you’re not alone.
