Male Therapists in Beaverton, OR

Life is full of transitions. Sometimes you choose the transition; often the transition is thrust upon you. However they happen, transitions can be disorienting and disruptive. Even good transitions can be difficult to navigate. They challenge you emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally. Yet, transitions also offer an opportunity to challenge old habits and start new ones. They provide fertile ground for growth, to become more fully who you were created to be. Maybe you're in a transition right now - or considering one - and you're looking for a skilled guide and an accepting environment to work it through.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” Victor Frankl. In this world of chaos I provide compassion, care and strategies for managing the confusion of today’s culture.

Therapy can be a place for personal growth and insight. We each have a unique history, journey, and growth process. My goal is to support your overall wellness: mental, physical, emotional, and connective. I work with those experiencing a variety of life issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ASD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

I help people who seek to increase awareness, strengths, intelligence (IQ and EQ), resiliency, create empowering processes and solutions leading to meaningful life engagement, and improving quality of life. I have worked with all ages, backgrounds and issues, individuals, couples and families. I have found the best predictor of effective therapy is how well the client connects with the therapist. I am open to working with all people, cultures and concerns.

No one is spared the trauma of life itself. But, life can also be full of unspeakable beauty, joy, and genuine love. While life can be unforgiving, there are ways of being that can deal much more effectively with what surrounds us. By reorienting ourselves and processing that which haunts us, true change can take place and we can begin to see and enjoy beauty in the midst of suffering, grow in gratitude for life itself despite its harshness, and live virtuously even during trials. These fruits are not born out of naivety but are born out of genuine wrestling with our existence.

I utilize an integrative approach. This means I will draw upon different training, techniques, and ideas to assist you with your specific goals. I strive to provide a unique form of therapy for you and your unique wants and needs. Common aspects of my integrative approach: Client-centered approach grounded in empathy, genuineness, transparency and an open and non-judgmental attitude; Relational approach as often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others etc.) occupy our thoughts and impacts our mood. We can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” to learn and apply these important lessons;

Something is just not right. Something needs to change and you're ready to do the work. Making changes creates challenges, and any great effort has the potential for unintentional and unexpected consequences: personal relationships, grief, anxiety, depression. I work with everyone wanting to take these steps, people who want to take accountability and collaborate on a path forward.

My journey in healthcare began with a deep-rooted passion for helping others, putting myself in situations to have experiences to gain skills to serve the community. I focus on the clients needs and goals and I use CBT, Solution focused therapy and Motivational Interviewing. My approach to patient care is rooted in empathy and effective communication.

Therapy is for all of us, but what it means and how it works is unique to each of us. While we share much in common, we all carry experiences, beliefs, dreams, and fears that are ours alone. These things give us distinct perspectives and shape our present and future. I tailor my therapeutic approach to suit what makes you uniquely you.

You may have experienced disturbing and painful events in your life that make it difficult to move forward, release your true potential and reach your life goals. You may often feel unsafe and untrusting in your own body, mind, or environment with frequent worry, stress and emotional pain that impacts your relationships, sense of self-worth and overall functioning in important areas of your life. The good news is that the human mind and body can have a remarkable capacity to heal given the right conditions. The possibility of improving our lives is a real one that begins with the choice to take a step forward.

Are you struggling with painful emotions, troubling thoughts, unwanted behaviors, relationship difficulties, or disabling physical conditions like chronic pain? Therapy can help.

I offer individual and group therapy, psycho-education and consulting for adults experiencing mental health, substance abuse, or chronic health difficulties. I collaborate with you, building on your strengths, to help you explore new insights, skills and solutions. My approach is holistic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and integrative.

Hello, I am a registered associate counselor with my MA in clinical mental health counseling and I am working toward becoming a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oregon. I have experience working with adults dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, emotion regulation, social concerns, relationship issues, life transitions, hearing or seeing things that aren’t there, trauma, and paranoia. I also enjoy collaborating with clients to find balance in areas of their lives and working toward building a life that the client feels is meaningful and worth living.

My belief is that we enter life with an inherent idea of who we are and what we want to accomplish. As we strive for acceptance, we cover ourselves in layers of others' expectations, eventually losing our ‘selves’ in the process. My desire is to help you strip away these layers to discover who you are at your core. We do this together by using feedback, intuitive healing, trauma informed therapy, dream work and active imagination. We do this by sitting with and listening to your stories of pain and unmet needs. We exchange heavier emotional layers with lighter ones until you can then stand in your own original brilliance.

You want a therapist who will actually listen to you, give you feedback when you ask for it, and not try to boss you around. That's what you get when you hire me. This is your life being discussed and you live with the consequences of your choices, not me. I want you to find what is most important to you and help you figure out how to deal with what has been stopping you from getting it. People inviting me to collaborate like this is one of the greatest honors I've had.

Evaluating our symptoms is a bridge to healing. Symptoms direct us toward the source of our suffering and point us in the direction of our solace. Oftentimes, clients enter counseling because they feel there is something wrong with them that needs to be fixed. However, there is nothing wrong. Our symptoms are not markers of failure or brokenness, they are expressions of need. Emotional duress and mental stress are a doorway or a "calling" for new behaviors and outlooks. When clients work with awareness, focus, and gentle persistence, life improves. Our bodies have an inherent ability to heal themselves. Our minds do, too.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of child abuse, grief, and trauma, but also have substantial experience working with various anxiety and depression issues. I primarily use mindfulness based therapy, but also take an individualized approach to each client. It is very important to me to work collaboratively with you so we can make therapy as useful and valuable to you as possible.

Hi, I am Joshua Beavers, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I am excited to work alongside you! I completed a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2015. I have worked with clients in person at various mental health clinics and in a virtual environment since 2015. My focus in sessions is to help clients learn to regulate their emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and build a foundation of skills that will help them with long-term success. I'm always excited to see them recognize the positive changes that can come from meeting with a counselor.

Connection. My goal is to first get to know you. To understand what it is that you are needing to get your life on the most helpful trajectory. Maybe you're anxious, depressed or experiencing loss. Or maybe for you it's that you feel disconnected from your teenager or you're a teen irritated by your parents. Recently married at the young age of 30, I also have some insight in working through relationships as well. I will work to help you interact with all the pieces of your life that contribute to your struggle. This might include your social life, family life and spiritual life.

Clients want problems solved and expect that to occur soon. So I focus on the here and now and am active in making recommendations that bring about change as soon as possible. I use an outcome-focused approach and have over 40 years of professional experience as a counselor and trainer to bring you competent expertise. Treating individuals, couples and children with depression, anxiety, and traumas, are common complaints that respond well to my treatment.
