As an individual therapist I work with folks through anxiety, grief, heartbreak, major life transitions, and issues with self trust, compassion, and forgiveness. I specialize in reproductive mental health encompassing family planning, postpartum, and pregnancy loss. I value the tears, the laughter, the silence, and the uproar in equal measure.

Keri Anderson, LCSW. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy that will guide you to a road of healing.

My relational bond with clients is a big factor in the success of our work together.
My ideal client is active in their own healing. At times, insight & realizations may flow freely, whereas, at other times, the journey is more introspective & contemplative. Whether this is your first experience with therapy, or you're well-seasoned and consider yourself "therapized", I welcome you to individual or couple's therapy. I like helping you recognize & identify your emotions and the impact they have on you, so you are able to tend to your feelings appropriately, and communicate your needs more effectively with those around you. This process increases intimacy, and deepens your relationship with yourself & your partner(s).

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and relational.
Sometimes our relationships with others, or ourselves, get stuck. We may have lost direction, purpose, or meaning, and we become unsure of who we are or who we are in our relationships with other people. We may feel alone, sad, or scared. Some of us become overwhelmed by naming these emotions. Some of us may choose to isolate ourselves and think we must navigate this life alone. In these moments, we are invited to pay attention; when we do, we begin healing. Therapy can be a gift, inviting you to look inward and grow.

When was the last time you felt deep pleasure, connection or acceptance within yourself or a relationship? Therapy works when you find someone who gets you. As one of only 10 AASECT certified sex therapists in Oregon, I'm training a team to provide inclusive sex positive treatment for individuals, couples, groups and LGBTQIPA+ folks. We focus on the treatment of trauma, sexuality challenges (arousal, performance, desire mismatch, healing abuse, pain), gender concerns including resources during the gender affirmation process and exploration of alternative sexualities or relationship configurations including non-monogamy and kink.

You move through life feeling anxious, on edge, or misunderstood. You feel this pressure to please others, to mask, or maybe even be “perfect” in order to be accepted - many times at the expense of your own well-being. You try one thing and then another but nothing’s really working (or if it is, it never really feels good enough). You hold an innate desire to be yourself and to be accepted and loved for who you are. You long to create healthy and meaningful connections with others - especially your partner or spouse - but you aren’t quite sure where to begin or how to get there.

Jeff Wilfong, LMFT, LPCC. Therapy reduces suffering and creates possibility for healthy changes. It is one of the best investments that you can make as you gain awareness and learn about problematic patterns. Everyone is at their own change-readiness level and I will support you where you are at. I am familiar with most psychological issues or relationship concerns, as I have worked in numerous settings and generally I have said "Yes!" to everyone along the way.

I'm Carly, and I'm delighted to connect with you here. I specialize in working with clients who are highly insightful and often know what they “should” be doing, but find themselves stuck in the same unhelpful patterns. This dissonance between the “should” and the reality can create so much frustration and shame. This happens when we’re focused on “neck-up” cognitive growth, and we neglect “neck-down” experiential change. We need our nervous systems caught up to what our minds know, and the only way that happens is through new experiences. We can create those together.
