Therapists in Deschutes County, OR
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.

Current Not Accepting New Clients. I want to start off by congratulating you on taking steps toward wholeness and wellness. If you are exploring therapy for the first time, welcome. If you have engaged in therapy in the past and are looking for a new experience, welcome. If you have no idea what you are looking for, welcome! Often times, clients that I work with decide to engage, or rengage, in therapy because an issue surfaced in their life that they could not navigate on their own. Other times, clients feel satisfied in their lives, and are looking to explore the hidden crevices of their psyche for more optimal relationships.

If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 14 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

With willingness, therapy can be a transformative experience. It takes courage to seek help and make changes, and finding out where to begin can be overwhelming. I work with clients at their pace to help identify and reconnect with the things most important to them. I find it most effective to focus on an individual’s strengths in order to gain more insight into the areas that may be causing distress. One of the many benefits of therapy is self- awareness on a deeper level which can help clients improve the relationships between themselves and others.

Kaiser in-network provider. I receive a lot of feedback from clients who report feeling safe & open in sharing their difficulties with me, while still being challenged to consider new perspectives and grow. It's vital to feel free from judgement/embarrassment in order to overcome barriers that keep us feeling stuck. I connect well with individuals who have typically had trouble sharing with or trusting others due to facing numerous challenges & traumas throughout life. I focus first on understanding you and your needs/goals/life. I also love doing couples therapy, improving the sense of safety, trust and connection in one-another.

"YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON'S EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES." That's especially true regarding the thoughts and feelings that often surround deeply personal issues. My practice is informed by my own life experiences as well as a nuanced understanding of the complexity of human nature. Together we will build the degree of trust and rapport necessary for you to: identify maladaptive patterns, challenge negative beliefs, gain insight into past and present events and most importantly, use this information to create permanent positive change in your relationships and the way you think and feel about yourself.

Approved CSWA Supervisor. We live in an ever-changing world that can feel overwhelming at times. We often feel disconnected from our friends and family. Sometimes it can feel hard to re connect. We have become a society of people who struggle with feelings we were once unfamiliar with. Anxiety, depression, and worry. I have spent much of my career working with individuals in an inpatient setting and through community based clinical programs. I began to see a significant need available private practitioners who accepted insurance and had availability.

Hi! My name is Nikki and I hold Doctorate in Communication with a focus on close relationships. I walk alongside clients as they navigate the more challenging and rewarding moments in their closest relationships. Using an attachment framework, I partner with clients to cultivate secure relating in their relationships. This may include untangling destructive conflict patterns, navigating challenging conversations, or unlearning unproductive attachment behaviors. I see my role as facilitating growth and offering a secure base, empowering clients to take ownership of their own relational journeys.

All therapists have a philosophy about the nature of people, problems, and how change happens. I believe people have a natural tendency to grow and expand when offered safety and support. People can become "stuck" when ways of relating to self and to others prevent growth. Often our most early relationships shape how we see ourselves, others, the world and our felt sense of confidence in how we might navigate it. "Stuckness" for my clients may look many different ways including, anxiety, stress, depression and/or relationship distress. No matter where you are at, you are the expert of your experience, and all of you is welcome.

Currently accepting new clients! Making the decision to start therapy can be overwhelming. It is my hope to make the process more approachable and accessible. I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to support clients in their own self-discovery and healing. I value authenticity and warmth to cultivate an environment where clients are free to explore the issues that are weighing heavily on their hearts and minds.
