Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Aloha, OR

I have worked in Corporate America and for the military. I have played sports and started churches. The breadth of my experiences are wide and my mission is to make a difference in the lives of those I am blessed to work with as a counselor. My ideal client will be between the ages of 12-85, individual, couple or family, dealing with a variety of issues from trauma/ptsd, to depression and other mental health disorders, and potentially co-occurring substance use disorder.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a therapist for 26 years. I worked in residential treatment, medical social work, outpatient therapy and private practice. I am someone who listens closely to your story and current needs to find solutions to ultimately help you achieve a healthy mental state. Each session will be directed by you to tackle long term issues or problems that come up each week. I have many different treatment approaches to help you see why you are experiencing difficulty in your life.

If you want to improve your relationships in your life, desire support with managing your anxiety and/or depressive symptoms more effectively, understand how past trauma is affecting your life, address your alcohol/drug use, work through equity/inclusion issues, or want an objective therapist to listen and support your own personal empowerment, I would feel honored to assist you with your self discovery. I received my Masters Degree in Social Work in 2006 and my Certification in Alcohol and Drug Counseling in 2009. I received my linsencure as an LCSW in 2016.

Currently on a waitlist. I am a licensed therapist that works with many different types of clients including children/adolescents, families, & couples. My goal is to help my clients work through the issues they are facing so they can work towards their goals in their lives and relationships. Every person has innate strengths and my goal is to help identify those strengths and build on them so that they can reach their goals in treatment and in their lives. Ultimately, I want my clients to feel heard and supported in my practice and I hope to help them on their journey in finding positive change in their lives and relationships.

Do you have difficulty feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Whether it's due to life stressor, feel anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Helping people live better lives is my passion. It could mean learning to set boundaries, getting over a loss or life transition, or helping you change a pattern of behavior that keeps you stuck. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I am passionate and dedicated to serve the BIPOC and Latinx community. My approach is to focus on well-being, cultural response, and trauma informed care.

I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy. I may have knowledge and experience in therapeutic skills, but the client is the expert on their life and the issues they brings to therapy. It takes both of us to share our understanding to develop goals and create the change the client desires. I use strategies from a variety of different therapeutic theories, but I like to practice solution-focused strategies when possible. Sometimes we don't need to know a lot about the history of the problem to solve it.

I hold PhD in Clinical Psychology and a Master's Degree in Psychology. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I support my clients in achieving greater well being by honing what is genuinely unique and important to them. I teach practices that boost resiliency to stress and inspire self-esteem and self-compassion to bloom. I support my clients in breaking through blocks and in unleashing authentic and dynamic self-expression, so that their values are congruent with their behavior and their intentions and desires become experiences that are truly lived.

Hi! My name is Leslie Gellert. The way that I see therapy as an opportunity to identify what your challenges are, what your strengths are and ultimately where you see yourself. Human beings are inherently resilient and I am excited about helping the people I work with make changes in their lives that lead to balance and connection. I specialize in working with kids, adolescents and perinatal clients. My theoretical orientation is based on interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy, ACT, solution-focused therapy, collaborative problem solving and motivational interviewing. I look forward to meeting you!

I strive to create a warm and inviting relationship with my clients so that everyone in the room feels comfortable with being vulnerable. That takes patience and a delicate touch, but it is worth it! I would love to help you recognize your blind spots that might be inhibiting your growth.
