Have you been scrolling through psychology today, trying to find a good fit? If you want a safe space to discuss trauma, grief & loss, major life transitions or would like help managing your anxiety/depression, I am here to help. Most people have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. It may have been an extremely stressful event. Or, it could be the cumulative experience of long term neglect, abuse or violence. Being in this survival mode may come with persistent feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, feeling trapped, disconnected & detached. Current patterns are a result of strategies to survive & no longer serve us

My name is Ellen Eberhardt and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For 16 years I have been a therapist. I provide a non-judgement and safe place to heal and grow as each client is unique.

Trust that gut instinct that’s telling you something has to change and that healing is attainable. You don't have to fix yourself, figure it all out, or change on your own. If you've found yourself constantly pushing forward only to find that anxiety, exhaustion, depression, or loneliness persist and you have yet to find a relationship, substance, life change, or feeling of control that can make it better in any lasting way- it's time to for things to get better. Whether you are struggling with general fatigue from the state of our world or your past experiences have completely caught up to you, I’m here to help.

Most of my work is with children, teenagers and adults/families who are noticing big feelings that can be new or part of an ongoing story.

I value the unique experiences and narratives that an individual brings to their therapeutic process and celebrate the willingness to lean into the often-difficult work that therapy can elicit. It is my hope that the therapeutic process will illuminate the patterns and events that can and have created conflict and stress; and inhibit one’s feeling of wellbeing.

Life, relationships, even moments, can be hard. It is often difficult to talk about what is going on inside, to find footing when it seems your life is crumbling. I will hold space for you, all yours, a hard thing to find in real life, and provide an opportunity for you to connect more deeply with yourself, heal and recover. We will work collaboratively to develop a healthier, happier you. This creates a natural domino effect into your life. You will learn skills, insight, see the negative dynamics that effect you consciously and unconsciously. This allows you to change, to integrate all the hurt pieces of you into a healthy whole.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon. I obtained my graduate degree in social work from Portland State University in 2007. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, substance use, grief and loss, chronic illness, interpersonal relationships and life transitions. I am interested in helping those that are struggling with situational stressors or long-standing concerns.

Hey there! We might be a good fit . . . if you understand that life comes with challenges AND we ALL have a story! I truly enjoy introducing my clients to the universal assignment of inner work, lessons, and personal growth. Are you effectively managing your personal narrative? We often experience stagnation and victimhood when we FEEL stuck, get distracted or obsessively worry. But that's life, right? It happens from time to time. My Practice is Available For New Clients for Mental Health Therapy and Medication Management with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner!

Is your child experiencing behavioral problems that interfere with school, family, or friendships? Is your teen distant, defiant or have mood swings? While facing challenges in childhood is a normal part of growing up, sometimes kids need additional help learning the skills needed to navigate big feelings, worries, upsetting and confusing events and the stressors of modern life. I offer kids an opportunity to learn and practice new skills, a safe space to explore big feelings and can help them learn to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a helpful way using creative, and fun approaches and evidence based practices

We are a Christian counseling group that seeks to provide current and effective psychotherapy services from a Biblical perspective.

Rather, we want to provide hope and guidance through the struggles our clients present.

Have you been feeling stuck in your relationships or old memories and experiences you thought you were over? Anxiety, depression and feeling overwhelmed can keep us from being present in our everyday lives. How about communication with those you are close to? Do you avoid hot topics for fear it will lead to another fight? Has infidelity created painful wounds? These are common issues that many people struggle with and yet there are solutions to these difficulties even if you have had the same argument for 30 years. Let me help you navigate a new way with your partner, your family, your co-workers.

Do you sometimes feel lonely, frustrated, or unsure about how to parent your child (neurotypical, neurodiverse, highly sensitive, biological, foster, adopted, step-child or inner child)? Has your child received a recent diagnosis and you are wondering what it means and how to start helping them? Is your family experiencing high parental conflict or has been through a recent life transition and needs guidance and support? Or, perhaps, raising your child has caused you to re-examine your own childhood and relationships with members of your family of origin? If so, I would love to be on your "team".

Thanks for looking at my profile. I recently changed my focus to working more with adoptive parents as well as teen and adult adopted persons. As an adoptive parent myself, I have focused for the last nine years on education and training that has made me a more adoption competent therapist and parent. Parents, if your child has special needs, learning disabilities, or experience with trauma I know it can be especially hard to set aside the time to get help for yourself, but I hope you call. Teens and young adult adopted persons, I want to walk alongside you as you take on the tough task of finding identity. You deserve to be heard!

Are you struggling to understand a relationship that may be abusive, trying to heal from trauma, or need support with gender, identity, or LGBTQ2SIA+ issues? Health Allies specializes in healing from narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, PTSD, and trauma. We also have many therapist who specialize and identify with the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. If you have struggled with any of the above, we can help you sort out your goals for healing and help you get to a better place.

Is your child struggling and you find yourself worrying about them? Are you having trouble connecting with your child? With so many competing pressures and distractions, it can be hard to find time to build the kinds of relationships we want. We are bombarded with all sorts of information making it difficult to find a direction that feels consistent with our culture and values. I help parents and children build stronger connections so kids have a secure foundation to develop into their full potential. I will walk you through the hard parts while having some fun in the process.

Welcome! My name is Eileen and I am a biracial clinician of Chamorro (Pacific Islander) and Mexican descent. It is my mission to provide specialized treatment for children, youth, & adults in areas of mental health recovery (depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and complex trauma), racial identity, women’s wellness, body image issues, complex trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, intercultural relationships, life transitions, ancestral/intergenerational trauma, and somatic therapy.

I understand that everyone has the power to grow and heal, even through the toughest times. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need support and connection to navigate these periods. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe space to explore your concerns and find your path forward. Together, we will work through a collaborative relationship that fosters acceptance, connection, and hope. Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t define us. I am here to help you find healing and renewal by exploring how your past influences your present.
