Behavioral Issues Therapists in Lake Oswego, OR

I am looking forward to working with adults, couples, families, adolescents and/or children (in no particular order) that are interested in art therapy and counseling. I have had 5 years experience in a residential setting with adolescents who struggle with both addictions and mental health concerns. And for another 7 years I worked with children and families in need of significant services at a non-profit organization downtown. I am now primarily working with Clients (like you!) at my private practice in SE Portland and am truly enjoying the experience.

Live your life more fully while enjoying better health with balance and focus. You can learn to experience relief from worry, fear and unhealthy relationships. I believe that positive growth is possible through awareness and attention to small changes in your thinking and actions. Together we can help promote healing and recovery by addressing your emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs. Most people who come in to my office wonder why they waited so long to become more healthy. My goal for you is to have a life changing and fulfilling experience and to reach your fullest potential.

Are you ready to make a change in your life? Change can be scary, difficult, and unpredictable and I am here to walk through it with you. I am passionate about working with individuals, children, teens, couples, and families to find what works for them, meeting them where they are at, and making certain that they are seen, heard, and understood. I believe that everyone is capable of change, and forming a trusting client therapist relationship is an important first step to challenge old thinking patterns and habits, and make change and growth happen in therapy.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients from all walks of life. It is a privilege to be entrusted with helping someone when they are in their most vulnerable state: in need of help. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, I am excited to help you navigate the barriers or difficulties in your life that are keeping you from successfully living and thriving.

***Please contact me through the consultation form on my website. I provide individual therapy for adolescent boys ages 10-15 struggling with anxiety and depression. I offer a free 30 minute in-person consultation to assess your child's needs and to determine if we would be a good fit for counseling.

I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and young adults. Are you feeling depressed? Struggling with self-confidence? Anxious? Are you experiencing grief or struggling with loss? Having trouble at home or school? Experiencing loneliness? We all encounter challenges of all kinds along the journey. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you towards building a more satisfying quality of life. My approach is open and non-judgmental; I seek to understand you and your needs. Finding solutions will always be collaborative and client focused.

Ignite your child's potential . . . Be the best parent you can be . . . Have peace of mind as you build your successful family. Using a combination of play therapy and parent consultations rooted in more than three decades of practice, I help families address their concerns and build their strengths. You and your child will become more confident, more capable and feel a greater level of stability. And, most importantly, you will enjoy each other once again! Problems solved include those related to anxiety, school refusal, anger outbursts, shyness and withdrawal, and relationships with family and friends.

I honor where each person is in the change process and provide compassion, new perspectives, and tools for change. My areas of specialty are depression and anxiety, trauma, parenting and adjustment to life events. I listen with great attention and care to help clients identify patterns that keep them from moving forward. I help clients realize a sense of wholeness by understanding how our past and present, and strengths and challenges are interconnected. This type of work has the potential for deep and meaningful change.

Do you find that small, unforeseeable incidents trigger intense emotions you’re unable to cope with? It may feel like your life is a struggle. You do your best to cope with it all, but you cannot seem to find a balance. What’s more, you’ve experienced a traumatic experience in your life, and you’re not sure how to move forward. As an LGBTQI+ individual, it feels as though you don’t fit anywhere in the world. Living life with a negative outlook can be difficult, and it feels as though every thought spirals into a worse one. Know that you’re not alone.

Respect, compassion and empathy are the cornerstones of my counseling practice. In sessions, I will create a safe environment where you can explore your experiences and how they have shaped you. You'll be supported in learning to understand yourself, your thoughts, feelings and your needs and examine your relationships with yourself and others so that you can nurture and deepen those relationships. Most importantly, you'll learn to view yourself through a more compassionate lens, building a calmer and more joyful inner experience and a more confident and caring self-view.

I am a clinical psychologist doing telehealth psychological treatment and Autism screening in Oregon. I have worked with individuals and families for over 20 years, specializing in Autism and parenting. I work with people of all ages and with a wide variety of diagnoses. I am currently accepting new clients.

"Experiencing moments of emotional distress due to life challenges is a common human experience. At times, however, life’s hardships can overwhelm our minds and bodies, leaving us feeling overly stressed, unwell, depressed, out of balance, and/or empty. Whether the source of the distress was a specific event, trauma or loss, a relationship dynamic, or in response to a life transition, I believe we all have the capacity for healing and personal growth, as well as the potential to create a more meaningful life.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I’m Danielle, a therapist who focuses on working with those on the journey to parenthood or are navigating the challenges that come with being a parent. I work with individuals coping with pregnancy, postpartum mood disorders, infertility, and loss. In addition, I work with adolescents and adults who wish to address experiences with trauma, life transitions, anxiety, or stress. Life can be hard – I see therapy as a place to share your story, in its entirety, without concerns that you need to censor yourself.

Life is stressful often in ways we do not expect. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected is common and can negatively impact our well-being and relationships. Sometimes we get stuck in unhealthy cycles of interaction or ways of coping. Other times, life transitions or changes seem daunting. Or maybe you are just longing to feel connected and be known. Whatever you are going through, know you're not alone and there is hope! People may get hurt through relationships, but they also can heal through them. We are meant for connection, change, and growth.

Are you feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life? Have you felt trapped in cycles of self-doubt, sadness, worry, frustration, and stress? Do you feel disconnected from others or yourself? My work centers on aligning you with who you know you truly are by rediscovering what is most important to you in life. I’m passionate about guiding others in expressing their most authentic selves while helping them to create lives truly worth living. We all have a unique life story that deserves to be nourished, honored, and shared.
