No matter what you're going through, you don't have to do it alone. I offer warm, trauma-informed therapy for people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity, relationships, and life’s big questions. I work in person and via telehealth with individuals ages 15+. In therapy, you get to bring yourself, your experiences, and your goals, and I’ll meet you with sincerity, curiosity, and empathy. Together, we’ll try to help you feel more at home in yourself and in this life on earth.

Chera Sheets

I work best with folks who may be struggling with relationships or want to change their thought patterns to improve self worth. If your stuck at a crossroads in life, we can examine your options and find a path forward. I help individuals develop a greater understanding of themselves and others to improve their relationships. We all have experiences that may cause us to have negative beliefs about ourselves. We can work to let go of those beliefs and embrace and develop your strengths.

Veronica Bangs

I work primarily with clients affected by trauma, anxiety and depression. Some of my “niche” populations have included the transition age group (I consider this to be 18-30 years old), creatives of all varieties, the neurodivergent community, and anyone interested in exploring their connection with their body through the lenses of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing.

JESSICA KINGREY

As an EMDR trained and IFS informed clinician, my specialty is the treatment of PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety and dissociative disorders in adults and adolescents. I strive to create a calming, safe space and have a more gentle approach, though I will challenge you to do very hard work at a pace that feels safe for you. Compassion, curiosity, and mindfulness are some of my favorite tools.

Has life thrown you for a bit of loop recently? Maybe that recent break up has left you reeling. Or this recent move has been hard. Grief can come in many forms, a big move, birth of a baby, an end of a friendship, or death of a loved one. Loss is some of life’s toughest stuff. Feeling alone in this world can be pretty scary. Lets work towards a way for you to find yourself again. I have lots of coping skills in my pocket to share with you.

Jennie Hagen

I love helping people look at old patterns of coping and interacting in the world, and seeing how those patterns influence their daily life. I work well with people who want to go under the surface of what's going on and look at what may be lurking underneath. This can understandably bring up some feelings of apprehension, and we will always go at a pace that feels right and safe for you. You're in the driver's seat, and I'm helping to navigate.

Blake Locher

You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.

Olivia Rogers

My areas of focus are helping people experiencing PTSD, with a specialty in childhood trauma and sexual assault. Additionally I am passionate about supporting those experiencing chronic pain. I also enjoy supporting people during transitions and times of stress as well as helping my clients to navigate their relationships.

Sarah Blaszczak

Between and within humans, multiple perspectives exist, and what is discovered depends on how observing happens. This understanding has led to my intense compassion for human suffering, and delight in the unique paths forged. ​ It is possible to ultimately drop attachments contributing to suffering, in order to experience the innately loving conscious beings we are. ​ Here the focus is less on "right and wrong" and more on the wise discernment of what ACTUALLY contributes to suffering.

Lauren Earle

You may have been dealing with anxious or distressing thoughts and feelings for a while now, but are finally noticing that they are unmanageable. This may look like loops in your thoughts and feelings, reliving past trauma, broken relationships, or feeling like your needs are never met. Rather than participating in life, it may feel like you’re just going through the motions. I work best with folks who are motivated to change but who feel unsure how to start that process.

Eric Goodwin

You’re feeling stuck in familiar patterns of shame and self-criticism, and it’s hard to tap into your strengths when you need them most. Whether it's the weight of anxiety or the impact of prejudice and discrimination, especially toward the LGBTQ+ community, it feels overwhelming and you feel vulnerable and out-of-touch with your own voice. You’re ready for help and deserve support as you take steps toward healing and growth—you don’t have to go through this alone.

I’m so glad you’re here- it takes courage to ask for help, and I’m honored to be considered. I believe that people already have exactly what they need to heal.

Those who are navigating faith transitions, religious trauma, purity culture, and grief related to faith deconstruction are especially drawn to my work. I am also passionate about working with individuals who have experienced parentification, are recovering perfectionists, or folks who are neurodivergent and navigating spaces and systems that aren't designed for them.

My clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, parents and holders of many identities struggling to show up in a way that's consistent with their values. Whether individuals or couples, most of my clients are seeking to be more fully themselves. I work with folks navigating relationships that run the gamut from the one with themselves, the one with their child(ten), to decades-long marriages to ethical non-monogamy.
