Support Groups in Portland, OR
Mixed gender on-ongoing interpersonal process groups. Both groups are currently full. Groups meet weekly alternating between Zoom and in-person. The goal of the group is to work on broadening our range of thoughts and feelings that we are able to feel and express in relationship. The greater the range of accessible emotions and our ability to verbalize them in healthy ways translates directly to the fullness of one's relationships and life. Through this process we can cultivate greater understanding of both self and other.

Our trauma can leave us with feelings of shame, resentment, and guilt. When we don't take the time for our own recovery and healing, we can find ourselves becoming stressed and overwhelmed. We become unrecognizable to ourselves and disconnected from our own needs. Our physical health is impacted. We experience spiraling thoughts and an inability to relax. Our anger and sadness are easily triggered. We sabotage our important relationships. We lack trust and fear intimacy. We find ourselves feeling undeserving of the goodness life has to offer.

The term narcissistic abuse is used to categorize the way a person experiences emotional abuse and manipulation when in a current or past relationship with someone exhibiting narcissistic behavior. This “relationship” does not necessarily have to pertain to a romantic partner. It could also be with a family member, a friend, a coworker, or any other important relationship that is impacting your life. The group provides a safe space to work on how to identify and handle narcissistic abuse in relationships along with sharing emotional support and remediation from the group.

It goes without saying these past few years have been an uphill battle. With the stress of a pandemic, the economic hardships facing many, and political divides deepening: it's no wonder anxiety is high. Or depression feels magnified. Or you find yourself falling back into bad habits. But you don't have to struggle through this time alone. Empathic Counseling can help you cope during this difficult time and empower you to thrive. I work closely with clients across Oregon to help them find freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, or that harsh voice inside you that tells you you're not enough.

The act of doing therapy is a bit like tending to a garden; it takes diligence and care to achieve growth! It sounds challenging I know, but the outcomes and successes of working on yourself and your relationships far outweigh the negatives. We all have gardens that need occasional weeding and replanting, and when we are not taking care of ourselves, we can experience feelings of depression, anxiety, restlessness and frustration. In choosing to work with me, I will guide and encourage you by providing the necessary tools and resources that allow you to create a healthy and bountiful garden of your own.

This free support group is for people with eating disorders and/or their family and friends. Children and adolescents are welcome to attend accompanied by a parent or guardian. Although this group is guided by a therapist from A Better Way Counseling Center, it is not therapy but educational, and individuals who have completely recovered often attend. It is a time to share information and get support from other people and families who struggle with an eating disorder, and to hear from people and families who have overcome these struggles. Please see our website for more information and for location and times.

Does it feel like you wear a mask in everyday life? As if there’s a disconnect between your true self and what you show to others. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and uncertain what it even means to feel connected to your body and aligned with your soul. Do you want to be guided by your intuition but feel it’s clouded by fear and shame? Does a judgmental inner critic control most of your thoughts and you don’t know how to stop it? You have awareness that things need to change and now it’s exploring how to make these changes. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindfulness must be engaged. Once there is seeing, there must be acting."
STARTS TUESDAYS 1/17/22. In this group, participants will learn about how they come into relationship through psychoeducation combined with a heavy focus on the here and now of the group process. How do you love? What makes you come toward others, and what makes you pull away? How can we feel safe with others? This group is for anyone who wants to have close, loving relationships, and knows first hand just how hard, and vulnerable, that can be.

If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or just plain stuck, you do not have to go it alone. I work with individuals and couples who are doing their best to navigate life's difficulties, but need some extra support to get through their current challenges.

I trust people’s inherent strength, and ability to bounce back from way more than we might imagine possible. I see myself as a supportive guide, facilitating a process of self inquiry, creating shared meaning, and making needed changes in life.
