Therapists in Oregon

Starting therapy can be incredibly difficult and scary. I try to ease that difficulty and discomfort by bringing compassion, authenticity, and curiosity to the therapy space. I help support clients through whatever challenges they are facing to be able to realize the version of themselves they hope to be. I am both a licensed therapist and licensed art therapist and integrate a number of modalities to create the most well rounded and personalize treatment for my clients.

I am a licensed psychologist who works with individuals who have experienced traumatic events and are navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs, including EMDR, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I enjoy helping people discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and become the best version of themselves.

Hello and welcome. Taking this step relies on a certain amount of courage. This moment is an opportunity to give yourself credit for moving towards improving your wellbeing. Change is difficult. As humans, we naturally resist change even when the change is desired. Often, the point in which we seek help is when the discomfort of continuing in a certain way outweighs the fear of change. I offer a safe, judgment-free space for discovery, growth, and healing, focused on your needs, and tailored to your preferences. Since 2005, I have had the privilege of supporting adults who seek to better manage life transitions or stressors, improve their understanding of and relationship with themselves, or address mental health or substance use. My areas of specialty are in identifying and treating mood disorders including depression, anxiety, interpersonal patterns, and alcohol and substance use. In our shared time you can expect to connect your past with your present, identify what you want to do differently, the steps to get you where you want to be, and support through the change process. Therapy is not intended to be indefinite, so I help you keep a focus on progress towards your goal(s). I welcome feedback so I can best meet your needs and comfort level. If other services are needed or this is not a good fit, I will offer services while assisting you in finding you care that meets your needs and preferences. My services are available via video-based telehealth for Oregon residents who are physically present in Oregon during telehealth services.

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 specialize in Trauma, Anxiety, and Addiction and am LGBTQ-friendly. We can identify old wounds and work on challenging old coping skills and beliefs that impede growth and personal happiness.

I have personal and advanced training in working with addiction and Substance Use Disorders. I have also worked with Co-occurring Disorders and I have advanced training in working with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IFS, and EMDR.

Together we can heal and transform into creative and purposeful people and find personal acceptance.

I help adults (and teens 13+), virtually and in-person, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunctions, eating disorders/disordered eating, and adjustment issues related to grief. Grief can manifest not just from death, but also from the end of a relationship, loss of a dream, health issues, or any unexpected changes in life. My work extends to helping those who have experienced trauma, as well as individuals looking to improve their self-esteem, strengthen their relationships, and manage stress effectively. In collaboration, from a trauma informed and compassion-focused approach, I will help you in creating a toolbox of techniques to soothe your nervous system while fostering self-compassion and building emotional awareness.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 17 years of professional experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, depression, problems in relationship, and unexpected losses and transitions.

My communication style is very personable, compassionate and conversational. I like to ask thought-provoking and clarifying questions, offer alternative views, and will always honor your choices. Diversity is honored here.

My hope is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

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.

I move at your pace and believe therapy is most effective when we take things one step at a time. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with people across the lifespan and from many different backgrounds and life circumstances.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients facing a wide range of concerns and struggles, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, divorce issues, and individuals who have experienced physical and/or sexual trauma or emotional abuse.

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.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida, Oregon, Kansas (LSCSW), New Hampshire, and Texas.

I help adults find ways to heal their anxiety and depression, help them become more self-aware, and to stop negative thinking, so they can become the best versions of themselves.

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

I have learned that therapy is a personal journey, and not every approach fits every person. I bring a positive, professional energy to each session, guiding clients while they remain in the driver’s seat. Together, we navigate challenges and celebrate progress, with support, safety, and care along the way. **No insurance applied or accepted for Couples or Family therapy** ***Self-pay rates apply for Couple and Family therapy*** ****Message me ahead of scheduling or after if you are seeking Family or Couples therapy****

I am a mother to three adult children, a Nana to 5 and dog mom to 2 Jack Russel's. I grew up in foster care and was adopted in my teens. That path led me through my own therapeutic journey as I struggled with depression and anxiety. As I found wellness, I launched into social work professionally to support youth and families, and eventually here, as a licensed therapist. I have been working with Individuals and families in various therapeutic settings for over 25 years, supporting those who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment/bonding issues, life stage challenges, and relationship conflicts to name a few. I find myself continually in awe of the resilience of the human spirit. I am honored with the trust my clients offer me as they process thoughts and feelings around their challenges as we journey together to find answers that make sense and solutions that work.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps clients understand their emotional patterns, strengthen communication, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I work with adults, teens, children, and families navigating anxiety, trauma responses, identity exploration, and relationship stress. My approach is collaborative, trauma‑informed, and rooted in evidence‑based methods like CBT, ACT, and EFT. I aim to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting change.

I am a licensed therapist who provided compassionate, evidence-based care in navigating life's challenges. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychoeducation to help clients who are ready and willing to work for change with building insight, develop coping skills, and foster lasting emotional growth. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel understood, empowered, and confident in their ability to create meaningful change.

Greetings, I am Dr. Mekeya. My background is as a licensed social worker. I became a mental health professional because I understand the importance of having support through tough times and a partner to cheer with you in times of victory. I have the pleasure of helping others recognize their strengths and abilities that can be used to overcome challenges and promote growth. Being a mental health professional allows me to positively touch someone’s life daily and be an ear for someone that just needs to vent.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.
