Therapists in Oregon

I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself, my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard. My name is Stephanie (or Stevie, either is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 5 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

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.

I provide professional expertise in addiction, encompassing both substances and behaviors, as well as in the diagnosis and treatment of Complex Trauma and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in older adults. I emphasize being present with clients and validating their experiences, including both positive and negative dimensions. My approach is defined by nonjudgmental support, compassion, and empathy. I aim to cultivate a safe, comfortable environment that encourages exploration of individual struggles and life challenges. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients uncover their authentic selves and identify barriers to personal growth. I am an Oregon State Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an Oregon State and National Master's-Level Addiction Counselor (MAC, CADC III). I offer American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessments and ADHD assessments for older adults. I hold certifications as a trauma professional, an ADHD professional, and a grief counselor.

Hi, I'm so happy you're here! My name is Maggie and I am a Colorado based licensed clinical social worker seeing clients in Oregon, Colorado, and Idaho via telehealth. I graduated from the University of Houston with a Master of Social Work in 2020 and since have worked in both medical and psychiatric hospital settings as a case manager and crisis intervention specialist and for a nonprofit providing solution-focused brief therapy and crisis intervention to teens and their families. Taking the first step to contact a therapist can feel intimidating and sometimes conflicting. Please feel more than welcome to reach out to see if we would be a good match!

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.

Hi, I'm Ashley Miller, LCSW. For the past 10 years, I've worked with adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and major life transitions, including young adults finding their footing outside of school or a familiar routine, and first responders and military community members carrying the weight of their service. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and somatic-aware, and I draw on evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Polyvagal Theory. But the modality always follows you, not the other way around. Whether you're just starting to untangle what's going on or working through something heavy and complex, I meet you exactly where you are. Therapy with me is collaborative, reflective, and judgment-free. Each session is shaped around what you need in that moment, and I bring curiosity, warmth, a sense of humor, and honesty to the work. I'm especially passionate about helping people find their voice and their strength when the systems around them, school, work, family, healthcare, haven't made that easy. On a personal note, I'm a Veteran myself, and supporting others who serve and protect and their family members, whether in uniform or on the front lines of a crisis, means something deeply personal to me. I understand firsthand the weight that community carries, and it's a privilege I don't take lightly. If you're looking for steady, experienced support as you work through this, I'd be glad to help. I'd love to hear from you.

I have also worked with Co-occurring Disorders and I have advanced training in working with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IFS, and EMDR. I embrace diversity of age, culture, gender identification, and beliefs. While most of us have some broken edges, it need not define us. Together we can heal and transform into creative and purposeful people and find personal acceptance.

I have experience working at state hospitals, inpatient/outpatient facilities & FQHC's collaborating with medical providers for medication management. I am naturally empathetic, curious, and enjoy helping others. Therapeutically, I draw on Solution-focused & Client Centered Therapy, tailored to each individual client and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. During the counseling process, we will work together using a strengths and integrated perspective focusing on the whole person: mind, body and spirit. I view therapy as a sacred journey in which you and I will work collaboratively to identify what goals you want to achieve through the therapy process. My goal is to empower my clients and encourage growth throughout the counseling process in order to achieve a better quality of life. I often use humor to connect with my clients. I will provide you with a compassionate, supportive, and non-judgemental safe space in which we can openly talk about whatever brings you to counseling.

Life doesn't usually fall apart all at once. More often it's anxiety that's built up over time, a depression that's dulled things, or a sense that you've lost track of what you actually want. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of clinical experience, licensed in New Jersey, Oregon, and Vermont. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach draws primarily on CBT and trauma-informed care, along with mindfulness and other modalities depending on what's useful for a given client. Some sessions focus on concrete coping skills. Others involve working through something more difficult, or examining a pattern that's been shaping your life without much scrutiny. I don't give generic advice or push goals that aren't yours. My role is to help you see what you're already capable of, challenge thinking that keeps you stuck, and work toward a life that fits you. You're the expert on your own life. I bring the clinical tools and perspective.

I’m a mental health professional with a deep and varied background in education, counseling, human services, and advocacy. Over the years, I’ve worked alongside adults, youth, and families navigating trauma, identity shifts, life transitions, and the lasting weight of systemic challenges like poverty, incarceration, and intergenerational trauma. I don’t just see symptoms, I see people. Whole people. And I meet them exactly where they are.

I am am easy going but no bs therapist. I want you to feel comfortable enough to open up about what is troubling you but not too comfortable that you forget why you are here. Therapy with me is a lot of heavy lifting on your part and my job will be to guide and support you along that journey. I specialize in PTSD Therapy through different modalities. It is not easy work but you can most definitely do it. Let's do it together.

I can help find relief and lasting change. This begins with the very useful concept of two simultaneous paths when struggling in life... 1- How can clients ADDRESS, or take action to remedy or lessen, the sources of their struggles? 2- How clients COPE in effective healthy ways? Addressing and coping are central in my work, and clients find this CBT approach to be highly valuable and effective.

I am a therapist who has been in practice for over 40 years providing techniques to children, families and the elderly that empower them to make changes in their lives that put them more in balance with their true potential and resilience. My counseling is a mosaic of education, experience and continued learning to assist my clients in living their best possible life.

Hi there, I'm Leslie. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of a busy life? Maybe you feel like something is "off" that you cannot quite identify. You may feel disconnected and experience frequent low moods. You might be someone who has been diagnosed or self-identified as neurodivergent, or you may be raising a neurodivergent child and feeling lost in coping with your feelings about how to navigate that challenge. You might be stuck in (or exiting) a romantic relationship that does not serve you, but you are struggling to find your path forward. Whatever the source of your anxiety, I am here to help! I support individuals across a spectrum of ages and circumstances to understand how to find their footing in their daily lives. I use a unique person-centered behavioral approach that is affirming and includes action steps to access change. When you meet with me, you will hear "real talk" grounded in evidenced-based techniques. Together we will discover a path to a more manageable daily life that fits your specific circumstances. Congratulations on taking the step to seek support through therapy. l look forward to working together!

Hi there, I'm Stephen. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help people manage anxiety and depression. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

I work with teens, emerging adults, and adults who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply wanting a better understanding of themselves. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are, feel heard and understood, and explore your experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we can look at the ways you think, feel, and respond to challenges, and begin to understand how those patterns may be affecting your life and relationships. My approach to therapy is warm, accepting, and collaborative. I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I work with each client to understand their unique experiences, strengths, needs, and goals. I use evidence-based approaches and practical tools to help you build greater self-awareness, develop skills that feel meaningful and manageable, and find healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. Most importantly, I believe you already have strengths within you that can help you move forward. My role is to walk alongside you, help you uncover what may be underneath the struggles you’re experiencing, and support you in building resilience, confidence, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re going through, and create space for meaningful change.

As a licensed professional counselor with 30 years experience, I have helped adults and couples navigating through relationship challenges, life transitions, self worth issues and substance use and recovery. My approach is collaborative, mindful and nonjudgemental . I know sometimes it is difficult to see the way forward. Together, we can slow things down, gain clarity, explore patterns, and identify practical steps toward creating meaningful and lasting change. My hope is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

​ Hello! Welcome to my website. I want to first and foremost give you a warm welcome for being here, and I want to invite you to learn more about me. My name is Diana Lleras, my pronouns are she/her, and I have been practicing psychotherapy since December 2014. I have a master's of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I also hold an Evergreen certificate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I am currently working toward certification in Attention Deficit Disorder, Grief Counseling, Holistic Practices, Telemental Health, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting.  I help people heal from past traumas and core childhood wounds, and we can also explore coping mechanisms you may want to change to better manage past trauma. I like to work collaboratively in the counseling setting where we decide together how I can best support you in your healing journey. I'm trained in protocols and structured treatments if you prefer structure, and I can also meet you where you are if you prefer a more flexible approach.  In my work as a counselor, it is very important to me to respect you and your autonomy as a person. My counseling office is a judgment-free zone, and everyone and their parts are welcome regardless of race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identity, immigration status, and political ideology. Soy bilingüe en inglés y español. ​

Appointments are available outside of 8-5 working hours starting as late as 7 pm! It takes courage to reach out for help when you struggle or feel stuck. As a therapist, I'm dedicated to creating a secure setting where my clients can express themselves and work through obstacles, adversity, and life changes. Therapy provides an opportunity for clients to question long-held beliefs that may no longer be beneficial to their present lives and make lasting change. In my practice, I work to create a non-judgmental and affirming environment where you can explore, process, and feel.
