Family Therapy in Oregon City, OR

Hi I am glad you are here. I’m Mike Schwarting, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I am currently accepting new patients and I am able to offer individual and couples counseling currently. I believe that therapy is a process of making connections between people. In a chaotic and unsettled world, having a real connection with a knowledgeable, kind, and above all supportive therapist can mean the difference between despair and living the life you deserve.

Hello my name is Jules (she/her). I am currently accepting new clients in Oregon. It is important to understand systemic oppression as it affects marginalized communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA plus, as cultural events and generational trauma affect our mental wellbeing. Another perspective relevant to my practice is the inclusion of feminism and a sex positive belief system. A component in my practice is eliminating stigma behind mental health issues and creating a dialogue that further removes us from the concept of “normal.”

Our approach to therapy is tailored toward each unique person, family or couple. We see people with difficulties in relationships, depression, anxiety, recovery from trauma, parenting issues, grief and loss issues, eating disorders and weight issues, chronic pain, career decisions and addictions. Our approach is a combination of traditional techniques and heart centered deep healing. Our approach geared toward finding the source of overwhelming feelings and making connections with current difficulties. Within this process we encourage healthy release of feelings which leads to healthier relationships and positive self esteem.

The current isolation has been difficult for many of us. We might feel stress, anxiety, or depressed due to events that are out of our control. Each of us has a unique story. It is easy to get stuck within our story and feel helpless to make a change. We get stuck in communication, thought and relationship patterns. It is possible to become unstuck and break the patterns that have held us captive.

Have you been feeling stuck in your relationships or old memories and experiences you thought you were over? Anxiety, depression and feeling overwhelmed can keep us from being present in our everyday lives. How about communication with those you are close to? Do you avoid hot topics for fear it will lead to another fight? Has infidelity created painful wounds? These are common issues that many people struggle with and yet there are solutions to these difficulties even if you have had the same argument for 30 years. Let me help you navigate a new way with your partner, your family, your co-workers.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I offer a goal-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, using your child’s unique strengths and needs to identify challenges and develop skills to meet them. I provide a safe environment where both you and your child will be heard and supported, while giving caring, honest feedback to help you explore issues, reduce conflict and problematic behaviors, and increase happiness for both you and your family.

My goal as a counselor is to assist you in your journey of living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with teens and adults, 14 years and older. My approach to counseling is person-centered, providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for you to explore the challenges and patterns preventing you from achieving your goals and to discover your unique path for spiritual, emotional, social, and mental wellness. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending upon each individual’s needs, informed by CBT, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or unwanted thoughts and fears due to past trauma or abuse? Do intercultural issues affect your family; do you like to approach life creatively with art, music, writing? I offer a safe environment to explore past and present woundings and difficulties using Emotionally Focused, Intersubjective, and Narrative approaches. This addresses issues holistically taking into account your emotional, physical and spiritual being.

I exclusively work with youth and adolescents who have engaged in sexually inappropriate or sexually harming behavior. I provide specialized treatment and wrap-around support at a time when a child’s behavior is more manageable than when they cross-over into the juvenile system. Research into adverse childhood experiences shows that without timely, appropriate treatment, youth may become further traumatized and may respond in ways that create additional victims – with impacts that ripple out into the community. I work to provide treatment at a time when it can have the most beneficial impact.

Imagine taking a moment to connect your feelings and thoughts. You sit down and take a moment to feel sensations in your body, your mood, and then work through the story you connect to it all. Often when seeking therapy we start by wanting to find solutions to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and this is good! Taking time to have caring and attentive guidance through this process is the role I take. As you share what you are going through either as an individual, partners, or family, I see that it is my job to come alongside to first listen and then guide the path to a different and preferred life.

As a therapist, I place an emphasis on utilizing an intersectional, inclusive, body positive, and an anti-oppressive lens. This means our conversations will naturally include your cultural identities, social locations, family history, and the broader contexts of your lived experience. I believe you are the expert of your own life. I take a collaborative approach, so we can work together and bring forth meaningful transformation.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming, finding the right fit matters! You may be seeking support for feelings of overwhelm and anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from your emotions and experience. Perhaps you are ready to befriend and tend to parts of you that were wounded or hurt in past relationships or communities. Whatever reason you are bravely reaching out, there is hope! I provide a safe and confidential space for your story to be heard and honored.

You may be seeking support for any number of reasons, such as depression, workplace stress, grief and loss, shame, trauma, anxiety, loneliness, clarity around transitions, disconnection in your relationships, addictions, or any number of other experiences. Every human deserves a safe, confidential place they can go to where they needn’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured. I aim for my office to be a sanctuary that can hold the hopes and aspirations for your life. I work with individuals, couples, and families around their unique goals, needs, and challenges.

At any age, healthy relationships, both with others and ourselves, serve as the foundation for mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being. My goal is to help identify the many factors that can influence these relationships and collaborate on how to best support your needs. Together we can explore your unique story and specific circumstances in order to uncover ways that help you feel more intentional and confident in your approach to life.

Feeling isolated, unsure of your purpose, stressed in your relationships, or ashamed or confused about your thoughts, actions or feelings? You are not alone. Mental health, relationship conflict, social/economic stressors, and life during COVID can all make it challenging to feel truly connected. But experiencing connection – whether with yourself, loved ones, pets, or the natural world – is the cornerstone to wellness, and it's worth the vulnerability it takes to get there. Together we'll explore how to support you in building connections and coping skills that nourish you and your relationships for the long term.
