Therapists in Deschutes County, OR

Welcome! I offer therapeutic services to individuals and families at Infinite Healing Solutions in Redmond, Oregon. My mission is to help individuals empower themselves and identify behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns that no longer benefit their personal goals. I enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with family conflict, relationship problems, trauma, depression, or grief. I have specialized expertise in LGBTQ+ relationships, Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM), and Sex Positivity (Kink Allied).

I believe we strive to do our best based on our life experiences, personal beliefs and values, resources we possess, and positive relationships we foster. Sometimes we don’t meet our own or others’ expectations, thus leading to struggles and challenges with mental wellness. We can end up stuck. Creating and maintaining positive connections with others, acknowledging and working through past issues and traumas, and learning new skills, perspectives, and narratives can lead us to personal acceptance and wellness.

Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

Relationships are beautiful and they are also incredibly challenging. Sometimes our deepest connections and relationships can experience unintentional wounding. This can be as a result of a variety of things inherently coming up for us that we may not yet realize or understand. As a PACT trained couple's therapist I provide a deep level of attunement to couples in session to locate tender spots and any underlying issues. I provide a space where couples can connect and be seen and heard by one another and ultimately move towards functioning securely together. Let's get you unstuck, out of old patterns and onto the same team, again.

Are you ...Anxious? ...Depressed? Does it seem that you are in constant conflict with your partner? Is there a growing distance in your relationship? Do you seem to be in perpetual turmoil with your children? Are you hurting and life is just not what you had hoped it would be? Make an appointment with me today so we can begin the process of reconnecting you with your strengths, dreams and hopes. What you had envisioned for your life may still be possible. I look forward to working with you toward that future.

Every person faces challenging circumstances throughout life, but no one has to endure the pain of difficult experiences alone. We know from experience that therapy can be transformative and offers the potential for enormous growth and positive change. ​The therapeutic relationship is central to the change process and as part of this, I strive to foster a collaborative approach with my clients by creating a safe, accepting environment. I approach counseling in a strengths-based framework and recognize that we all have skills and abilities that have developed to cope and carry us through our toughest times.

Finding someone to speak with and asking for help is a courageous step. I understand how it can be to share personal information with someone you have just met and I will hold this position with respect. Many people come to therapy for support with anxiety, depression, stress, loss and relationship issues. For some, therapy is more about understanding themselves, changing patterns of behavior that are outdated and they are making efforts to move forward. Therapy is not about advice giving, although many times, problem solving is part of the process. Change seems more likely when there is someone listening to us and we feel encouraged. It's also useful to speak with someone who has knowledge of the most effective strategies for change. It is my hope that whatever your reason for seeking therapy, together we can create a useful experience for you.

I believe that human behaviors, emotions and ideas are interrelated and impact each other continuously in psychologically meaningful ways.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and their families to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with families to support healthier and happier relationships. In addition I am currently offering supervision to interns, contact me for further information. To schedule an appointment or free consult see my website: https://jodi-peterson4774.clientsecure.me/

Hi! I am a psychologist who recently moved to Bend from Portland. I have been in practice for 15 years and really enjoy working with both individuals and couples who want something more from life. I am a transformational healer who believes in the power each of us holds to shape our own futures. Exploration and resolution of old patterns and blocks, as well as focused intention setting are primary areas of focus in my practice. I believe everyone has the power to heal from past hurts and traumas to lead richer, more fulfilling lives.

Accepting New BCBS, Aetna, Providence, and PacificSource Commercial (not through OHP) in OREGON. Finding a therapist can be a hassle. Keep going. Reach out via email and we can do a consult to see if it is a good fit. I help people identify their values and the aspects of life worth suffering for. When we can accept and allow discomfort, we can live a meaningful life now, as opposed to waiting until we feel "better." I like this quote as a reminder - The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

Often we find ourselves carrying out the same unhealthy patterns in the present that were developed in earlier stages of life that allowed us to adapt and survive at that time. We carry old beliefs and views stemming from past trauma or from others' opinions and mistake the inner critic voice for our own. Many of my clients find themselves in the midst of transition in which these old patterns, beliefs and inner critic voice no longer serve them.

Accepting new clients. How to begin? Perhaps you wonder where your groove went and want to connect again. Deepening connection with self is a lifelong process with no absolute route. One must be off the mark to find it; you are exactly where you must be. Here. We'll collaborate to unveil passions, explore internal dynamics and empower personal transformation for the life you want.

Belonging Is Our Essence......and yet many of us experience situations where we didn't feel valued, heard or seen for who we really are. Whether the message came from our family of origin, our intimate relationships or from cultural oppression, somewhere we got the message that being our authentic self wasn't okay, and sometimes not even safe. I focus on creating a healing space where you won't be judged or harmed as we collaborate to help you learn to be present and be your authentic self, and to shed the layers that no longer serve you.

Deep inside each of us is a reservoir of wisdom, of knowing what is true for us. Granted, that inner wisdom maybe be layered over with negative messages, unexamined beliefs acquired years ago, noise from the busy-ness of our lives and the chaos of the world, or personal doubt, lack of confidence, confusion. Being present in the body so that we can access that inner wisdom is a crucial aspect of counseling and doing so can help us find the way forward in life. Learning to be fully present in the moment is a gift we can give ourselves as we live our lives and move toward healing and well-being.

Making the choice to seek help is incredibly brave, and finding a counselor can be overwhelming. I aim to make the process as safe and effortless as possible, providing individual, family, and couples counseling. We all have a right to belong, be respected, and feel heard and understood. If you experience anxiety, depression, shame, grief and loss, have had traumatic experiences, or relationship difficulties, counseling may help. Together we can find healing, promote connection with others, reduce distress, implement healthy boundaries, and process our hurt to create a better relationship with ourselves, our stories, and our world.

I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

I see my role to be a facilitator, guide and collaborator with you on your path to inner wisdom and self-discovery. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship from which we can explore narratives, patterns and behaviors that no longer serve your well being.
