I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Oregon with six years of experience in the mental health field. I do live in Illinois. I take a holistic approach with my clients but also incorporate various therapy techniques based on their needs and expectations. I strongly value the mind-body connection. Healing can be messy and uncomfortable but also beautiful at the same time.
Greetings! I have been supporting individuals, families, and couples with various mental health challenges as a licensed clinical social worker, social work intern, and therapist for more than 13 years. My clients appreciate my practical approach to help them get the results that they want to see in their life, work, and relationships. I can help you in the areas of work, family, personal identity, relationships, and much more.
I work with individual adult clients anywhere in Oregon and Washington state who are dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, family challenges, and struggles in personal growth. I specialize in helping my clients improve communication skills in relationships of all kinds. I also specialize in working with clients who are LGBTQ+, in or exploring non-traditional relationships, or who have non-traditional identities and practices of any kind.
I use evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and I listen without judging. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I respect each client as a complex human being, not as a diagnosis or a label. I'll work with you at your own pace to understand your challenges, and we'll find solutions together. All my appointments are by video or phone.
I'm the therapist who doesn't need to have polyamory explained to him, who doesn't clutch his pearls when you talk about kink, and who knows queer and gender-nonconforming identities are healthy. Whether or not any of this applies to you, I'm here to help you.
Hello, I’m Kelly, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, and depression. Throughout my career, my approach has remained rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and respected. Together, we will focus on understanding what's weighing on you, reframing unhelpful patterns, and building practical tools to support your emotional well-being and confidence.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, anger, and difficult life transitions in a practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional healing and stronger relationships.
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) currently based and practicing in Oregon, though with an active license in California as well. I attended California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for graduate school and lived in the Bay Area for a decade before moving to Portland, OR shortly before the pandemic. I have over thirteen years of experience as a "generalist" therapist, though I specialize in supporting individuals in the midst of life transitions, including but not limited to: relationship challenges, moves to a new city or state, new or chronic medical diagnoses, career and work problems, spiritual questioning, transitions into the workforce or retirement. I do NOT work with couples at this time. While I consider the psychological theories behind my work, I hold them lightly in the room, believing most fundamentally in the importance of an adaptive, culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental stance with my clients.
PLEASE NOTE: your chosen intake appointment time is subject to my final approval based on my shifting availability. I see clients on multiple platforms and am unable to sync all of my calendars in real time. Following the initial appointment, we will find a mutually agreeable meeting time and I will manage the booking on the Grow platform going forward, including rescheduling and cancellations. You will need to message me directly to cancel or reschedule your appointment. I request the courtesy of as much advanced notice as possible. I am not able to work with clients who cancel without 24 hrs advanced notice or no show more than twice.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with five years of independent clinical experience and over ten years of experience in human services, case management, vocational rehabilitation services, and working at inpatient and outpatient clinical therapy offices.
I have a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Ohio University, a masters degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health counseling from UNC-Chapel Hill, and a bachelors of science degree in psychology from North Carolina State University.
I chose to get a PhD in counseling because of my desire to help others, and my continuous drive to learn and grow. Therapy was essential to me as a teenager, then as a young adult, and now as a middle-aged adult. I have always found it to be a powerful tool in allowing me to process my thoughts and feelings, both about my past and my future. As a result, I chose to become a therapist, to provide the same support and guidance to the people I work with!
