My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply trauma-informed. I integrate EMDR with somatic and evidence-based talk therapies to support improved daily functioning and deeper, lasting healing. I specialize in working with medical trauma, chronic pain, women’s health, and grief. I also support clients navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and changes across the lifespan. I care deeply about creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and truly understood. I believe therapy should be collaborative, meaningful and practical, and I work to find tools and approaches that genuinely support change in my client's day-to-day life.

I work in treating Anxiety, Depression and Trauma. Are you currently struggling and seeking to better understand yourself and/or work through experiences of feeling stuck? Do your thoughts, emotions, behaviors/ habits feel disappointing, overwhelming, or seem to drift from your goals? We can collaborate to understand what's most valuable to you, the ways in which you struggle, and learn what could be most effective for you in your journey forward. We may just discover the most useful tools for you on your healing path as you metabolize old pain and grow in your own unique and deeply satisfying ways. My intention is to help provide a compassionate and curious environment to allow clients to explore their experiences and further understand both their difficult challenges (such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, difficulty connecting, being present etc.), as well as the beautiful core intentions and aspirations within them. I really enjoy this work. Offering in-person sessions in Corvallis and some teletherapy options as well. Healing and growth...not easy, though very possible. :-) I welcome diversity regarding race, gender identity, ability, religion, sexuality and neurodiversity. If you're seeking a greater sense of peace, value-aligned living, and inner strength, feel free to send me an email or call me. I'll get back to you. The insurances I am able to work with are: Pacific Source, and MODA. Here is a link to my website: https://www.presentquestcounseling.com/ Chad Blanchard LMFT 530-588-8731

As a young adult, few things are harder than struggling alone. This time in your life can feel full of contradictions. It's exciting yet uncertain, liberating yet terrifying, carefree yet sometimes paralyzing. You crave connection. To be seen & deeply loved. But relational wounds, anxiety, or the residue of past trauma can lead to feelings of distrust, insecurity, & doubt. You yearn for more. To have healthy relationships. Improve self-esteem. You want to live with more ease, but feel stuck by your pain. Emotional wounds need nurturing, connection, & the healing power of a relationship. You're not alone. I help young adults learn to be with themselves & others without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or scared. We slow down & notice what happens in the moment & the body as we explore emotions. My primary therapeutic approach is AEDP, which focuses on connection & attunement, undoing aloneness, accessing & processing emotions, & "loving up" strengths. I know that reaching out is hard! It's scary & unfamiliar. But together, we'll work through the difficult stuff. The emotions. The fear. We'll laugh a lot. We'll cry a bit, too. Nothing is too big! Plus, I've got a comfy couch & cozy office. Or meet me on telehealth. Either way. I challenge you to do this for yourself. You have everything within you.

Hello! I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed in both California and Oregon. I offer telehealth video sessions for young adults, and I’m passionate about supporting those who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or a desire to build stronger self-esteem, relationships, and communication skills. I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy, creating a safe and compassionate space where we can work together to address your unique challenges. My approach integrates mindfulness-based techniques and strengths-based strategies to help you practice and build coping skills that empower you to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater resilience. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are curious and motivated for change. With a background in working with young children and utilizing expressive arts, I bring a creative and holistic perspective to my work with young adults. This allows us to explore unmet needs, deepen self-awareness, and empower you to advocate for your desires and boundaries, both in the present and moving forward. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth, and I look forward to the opportunity to work together.

Are you holding a lot internally? Do you appear capable and put-together on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or disconnected inside? Many students I work with are empaths and deep feelers who often ruminate or overthink decisions, worry about letting others down, or feel pressure to always be perceived as put together and strong. Are you confused about what healthy sexuality is? Are you unsure about what consent and bodily autonomy looks like, sounds like, feels like? College can intensify everything all at once: the stress of both internal and external academic expectations, relationships, family pressure, cultural or religious identities, and big questions about the future. It is a time of navigating multiple transitions. Transitions such as figuring out who you are apart from your family, questioning beliefs you grew up with, or trying to become your own person while staying connected to the people who matter to you. Add to this trying to develop new connections, and it can feel like you have a lead role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Maybe you grew up in a high-pressure environment, or took on emotional caretaker roles early, or learned to minimize your needs. Perhaps you are noticing patterns you don’t know how to change. Or now that you are away from a traumatic family of origin situation, you are having memories surface and find yourself disassociating and finding it impossible to focus on studies. So you find yourself shutting down, maybe feeling numb, perhaps feeling “too much,” or carrying stress in your body - is it showing up as tension, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, heightened anxiety, or...? You may be a quiet struggler - thoughtful, self-aware, and resilient, yet exhausted. Those who struggle quietly often don’t ask for help, apologize for having needs, or carry the emotional weight for others. Or maybe you find yourself acting out in ways that are not conducive to your well-being - like risky behavior or other choices that are hurtful for you. If you’re a university student who feels stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, or if you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, I see you and am honored to hold space for you. I understand we heal through connection. Authentic connection happens when we are heard and understood in relationship to others. I attempt to engage our work through compassion, curiosity, humor, perspective, honesty, and gentle challenges when appropriate. I believe in creating a space where you are able to slow down and tune into your emotions, beliefs, and responses as a way to heal, grow, and authentically relate to others.

Is your workload feeling overwhelming? Are you juggling too many things with too little time? I'm here to help! My name is Lesley (they/them). My focus is working with ADHD and anxiety. I want to help you figure out ways to make things easier, so that you can find the balance between classes, work, your social life, and whatever else you're having trouble managing on your own.

I am a UCSF-trained, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; a seasoned diagnostician and psychiatric provider. I perform diagnostic evaluations and personalized medication management for ADHD, as well as mood and anxiety disorders. Whether you have or suspect you have ADHD, or struggle with mood or anxiety issues that warrant evaluation and treatment so they are no longer in your way, I would be honored to walk beside you and be your guide.

I work with students who are experiencing OCD, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, perfectionism and queer identity exploration. College can be challenging. I'm here to help support you and guide you through this process. You're not alone in your struggle.

I am an experienced mental health provider specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, sleep issues, substance use, life transitions, and relationship concerns. As a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (trained at OHSU and UCSF), I offer personalized, holistic care that combines medication management with brief psychotherapy. My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space to support you on your path to mental wellness.

I recognize that seeing a therapist can feel like a big step to take. It is the beginning of a new relationship, a change to how you have been living, and a reflection on how you got to where you are today. For all of these reasons it is normal to feel anxiety or stress about making sure you find the right fit in a counselor. I believe in approaching counseling through a holistic lens, considering the ways that your environment, work or school related stress, relationships, social systems, and traumatic or other lived experiences might affect you in the present. With these considerations, I will support you in building a greater sense of self-awareness, allowing you to develop tools to live more closely in line with your values and aspirations. I work with clients in a manner that is both sensitive and analytical. You might be coming to counseling with something very specific that you would like to work on, or you might be unsure why things are not feeling right in your life. Perhaps you are feeling like your life is not going the way you had hoped, and you are missing a sense of purpose, excitement, or connection. Maybe you are struggling to change a behavior, relationship structure, or just the way that you're feeling day to day. In all of these cases, I will support you in figuring out the best path forward. My goal is to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can better understand your experiences, resolve internal and relational conflicts, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Hello, We can start with what is your immediate concern. That is likely to open the possibility of changes within you, that can open new possibilities for satisfaction and broader changes. Our goals will include more satisfying and close relationships for you.

Hello! I am an Expressive Arts Therapist based in Portland, OR. In my practice I use art, crafts and sensory tools to support our work when words and verbal processing feel challenging. If you are a verbal processor, you're also welcome here! I usually work with folks who are queer and/or neurodivergent. I tend to work best with introverts or ambiverts, creative folks and those who identify as sensitive.

I consider it a privilege to sit with individuals who feel driven to take on the challenge of personal growth. It’s hard to face the messiest parts of ourselves. We tend to avoid this at every cost, often with behaviors and habits that keep us distracted and numb. But therapy is about waking up. It’s about committing to the work of undoing old patterns that no longer serve us so we can show up more fully in our lives. I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) who struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and/or body image concerns. There isn’t one approach that works for everyone. I enjoy getting creative and finding a framework that best serves each client.

Life comes with a lot of challenges and unexpected twists and turns. I enjoy helping people work through discovering themselves and exploring identity, as well as learning skills to cope with areas impacting everyday life. I provide a welcoming and low-pressure environment with a focus on building a good therapeutic relationship.

I provide individual therapy to people ages 18 and up. I specialize in working with queer and trans people, pot-stirrers, and outsiders. I enjoy working with people who are confronting major identity shifts, people who are navigating issues with their families of origin, and people who are trying to envision a future they never imagined themselves in (What is middle age? What is aging in queer spaces? How can I live meaningfully in late stage capitalism?).

Do you feel overwhelmed by that pile of laundry in the corner of your room, or that stack of dishes in the kitchen? Do you bounce your leg endlessly or fidget with anything within reach? Do you ever hyperfixate on something for hours and completely lose track of time? Are you easily distracted? Forgetful? Do you find yourself interrupting others? Are you motivated by challenge? What about urgency? If so, not to fret, you’re in the right place! I too have struggled with these same issues, but I have also learned to find the joy in my ADHD. Likewise, I would like to help you learn to harness your creativity, quick thinking, and unique perspective on life. Not only will we collaborate on discovering effective time management, emotional regulation, and organizational techniques that work for you. But we will go beyond that and bring to light the ways in which we can empower you in finding your ADHD “superpower”. Together we can explore topics such as diagnosis, medication, and accommodations. We may also discuss sensory issues, shame, relationships and whatever else you would like to bring into the room. If this sounds like a journey you’re ready to start, please reach out! I’d love to walk this path alongside you.
