Life is hard, but there are strategies and tools you can learn to help you overcome challenges and move towards happiness. The way to start creating a joyful life begins by understanding what the problem is and what actions you can take to create change. I love helping individuals, couples, and families learn to recognize unhealthy patterns, remove stumbling blocks and start creating a meaningful and fulfilling life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, bilingual in Farsi (Persian), with over thirteen years of experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges an individual faces in life including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, relationship and parenting issues, work and academic stress as well as acculturation & immigration issues.

Erin Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Oregon, with over two decades of clinical experience. As a highly sensitive person with a passion for integrating trauma-informed care across all systems of care, empathy is the driving force behind Erin’s work. Drawing eclectically from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, existentialism, systems theory, polyvagal theory, and positive disintegration, Erin uses each moment as a guide for the next. Erin is also known for encouraging creativity throughout the therapeutic process.

Hello my name is Taylor, (He/Him) nice to meet you. I am currently accepting new patients in Oregon and Washington. My goal in our work is to help individuals increase self-awareness by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I can also assist in clients developing a plan of action, and supporting them in implementing new behaviors and habits. I am trained in advanced trauma therapies, allowing clients to do the deeper work that they need to truly heal.

I believe everyone is capable of making positive changes in their lives. My mission is to help clients reach their fullest potential by providing a safe and supportive space. Through my counseling services, I help my clients to learn to empower themselves, conquer their inner critic, and learn to live in love. I have a holistic approach to the therapeutic process. I work with people of all races, genders, sexualities, life and psychological experiences, bodies, and abilities.

My specialty areas include child development, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss and chronic medial issues. I have a play therapy room designed for expressive therapies and family systems work. I am certified in trauma, EMDR for children and adults and am faculty at the institute teaching in trauma informed care, play therapy, clinical supervision and animal assisted human health. My work involves complex divorce and family therapy needs. I provide clinical supervision for professionals seeking licensing or play therapy certification.

My desire is to come alongside those who are hurting and help them find hope, a sense of meaning and purpose, and healing. Regardless of whether I am treating an individual, couple or family, I believe that a meaningful, authentic relationship between the client and therapist is essential to the process of healing. My goal is to create a collaborative and safe space for us to enact change in your life and a space where you feel listened to.

As a healing-centered trauma-competent therapist, I work primarily with women and gender-diverse individuals. We will focus on the exploration of self and identity during challenging times. We will learn and practice strengths-based healing tools for coping and navigating challenges that foster personal growth. I help individuals build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate the inner strength needed to navigate life from a healing and grounded sense of self. I expect clients to be engaged during our sessions, be open to reflective growth, and utilize assignments tailored to their unique needs and goals.

Excited. Persistent. Results oriented and good sense of humor. That's me! You’re not alone when you say, “I really don’t want to get out of bed today, just a little while longer,” as you pull the covers over your head. Today feels gray, you feel overwhelmed, even numb and the nagging “duties” of the day pull at your attention, one after another. You want to scream and hide under a rock to make it all go away for a minute, but you open your eyes to see the list of “should’s” just get longer. And worse yet, you feel alone in all of it.

Nothing has been more exciting and gratifying for me as a therapist than the moment I can see someone recognizing the patterns and thoughts which have been keeping them from the happiness and joyful life they deserve. Those moments can be the spark that starts a whole new way of thinking and living for someone. In a world that is often rich in negative emotions and destructive behavior, every new spark that can help change the way a single person feels and acts can help others too. Every great journey begins with a single step.

Taking the first steps towards wellness and change can be overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where individuals can feel safe to share their struggles, and build skills to cope with the various challenges that life throws their way. I am inspired by seeing my clients change in positive ways, better their lives, and improve their well-being!

To reveal and work through one's difficulties can be scary, but fulfilling and enriching. Thus, I work to create a trusting, supportive environment free of judgement that allows for a safe space to dive into the depths of one's unique story and what brings them to treatment. Therapy can be a powerful process in which one can gain new insights, decrease distress and suffering, uncover strengths and limitations, and improve relationships both with one's self and others. I will treat you with compassion, empathy, encouragement, and honesty as we navigate the therapeutic process together.

I practice from a place of empathy and genuine understanding as I've known what it's like to experience tragedy. My passion is working with each client who wants help and is ready to work with me in their journey towards strong and positive mental health. I've also been known to incorporate a little humor throughout the healing process. I look forward to working with clients who are committed to the work we do and will continue to attend counseling even when the work seems very challenging. In order for counseling to be successful, there must be a mutual respect, and honesty is crucial to the therapeutic relationship.

Now accepting new clients! With over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I offer therapy services in Oregon and Utah. I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, imposter syndrome, and low self-esteem. I am most effective with clients who are proactive in their mental health journey and value applying therapeutic techniques beyond our sessions.

My name is Kathleen Barnes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from University of Southern California with my MSW in children, family and military clinical social work. I have experience working with diverse populations using many counseling techniques to include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma therapy, Motivational therapy and Brief Intervention Solution-based focused therapy. My experience is with individuals that struggle from stress and anxiety from everyday life to severe or mild mental health symptoms and trauma/PTSD.

With recent changes in our world and communities, adolescents and young adults are bombarded with stress and insecurity leading to mental health challenges. Anxiety, depression, and loneliness can lead to increased isolation, conflicts in parent/child relationships, suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. They may need a life line, a map to find their way.
