Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Therapists in Canby, OR

My personal approach to counseling is based on my belief of the inherent worth of every human being. I approach everyone I meet with a nonjudgemental mindset and unconditional positive regard. I believe deeply in the need for human beings to connect with one another. I believe that people are resilient, and the human spirit prevails over and over again. I have experience in working with complex trauma, grief, abuse, behavioral issues, family dynamics, and couples’ therapy.

Hi. My name is Nick Elgin. Are you suffering from physical reactivity from trauma, emotional distress, or anxiety? I am a trained EMDR therapist that can help you reduce or eliminate your symptoms and free you from the distress that interrupts you from living a full life. My philosophy is to stand as your ally, and draw upon your expertise in your own personal story, to assist us in realizing the true future you would be thrilled to lead. Together, we will bolster your innate abilities, your internal strengths, to serve as the new bedrock for positive change.

Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop. These experiences, while deeply painful, can be harnessed as moments of growth in our lives that cause us to understand ourselves, our faith, our relationships, and the world around us to a much greater degree.

We are all wired to seek connection, understanding and belonging. We may feel like we are not good enough though. This feeling can become a part of us and impact how we see ourselves and the world. Sexism, homophobia, ableism, racism, and capitalism from dominant cultures harms our humanity, strengths, & uniqueness. In therapy, we can work together to dismantle these harmful messages & rediscover your ability to connect to yourself, your community, & (re)discover your worth. Here, LGBTQ+ folks and people with (dis)abilities age 18 to 99 will find safety, community & a non-judgmental space to explore who you are & find purpose & joy.

My ideal client wants to be engaged during therapy. My clients come prepared to do heavy work that is necessary to heal and move on from their issues. I expect accountability, transparency, a willingness to do homework, and be vulnerable during sessions. I employ a diverse approach to psychology that is specifically tailored to each person. Overall, this takes the shape of mindfulness cognitive behavior therapy. This feminist-queer lens includes your intersectional identity, personal goals, individual growth speed, identity, religious background, ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, social economic status, and social stratification.

Outside of session, you can find me working on my crochet project, reading a good book or attempting to bake or cook a new recipe.

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.

Summer is here! Life is full of transitions and can tug at our strings in search for identity and times of uncertainty that can increase anxiety, depression, and trigger previous trauma. Children can feel changes and try to adapt without the words to express how they feel that can create additional tension. Put this together, it can become a cesspool of emotions for both the parent(s) and child. My personal experience of living abroad for 20 years and raising 5 children, helped me to understand transitions and their complexities.I work with both children and adults, parenting for relief.

I understand that every individual's journey is distinct so we will work collaboratively towards understanding, growth, and positive change that you seek. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and embark on a journey towards a more holistic life.

Seeking therapy can be an unnerving task. It can be scary to open up to a stranger about personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. My goal as a therapist is to create a welcoming and safe environment for clients to be able to fully experience themselves and reflect on their lives. I encourage clients to embrace their truths and build up their confidence over the course of treatment by both validating and providing areas to look deeper in sessions.
