Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Lake Oswego, OR
My expertise lies in evidence-based trauma processing treatments for PTSD, including cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure therapy.
When people are fearful or anxious, they naturally tend to avoid the activities, things, or situations that remind them of their uncomfortable feelings. This is a natural and understandable reaction, however, while this might help reduce feelings of anxiety in the short-term, over the long-term it can make the fear become even worse. As a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders using exposure therapy, an evidence-based practice, my goal is to create a warm and encouraging environment for you to learn reduce your anxiety and step back into your life in a meaningful way.

Over the year, I received in-depth training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and began training in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) in 2018.
I’m Dr. Sara Aslan, PhD, I am a licensed Psychologist, I have been providing therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families since 2010. I am currently providing virtual sessions to adults and adolescents residing in Oregon, Washington, and PSYPACT states; and in-person sessions in the Portland, Oregon area. I began working with Eating Disorders in 2010 and quickly realized that I was also seeing experiences of trauma interfere with my client’s healing processes. I knew learning to adequately treat trauma was something that was imperative to the overall wellbeing of my clients. I began providing trauma

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a real change in their life. Sometimes you are "tired of the rut I am in" or feeling that "something needs to change..I do not want to feel like this anymore." Sometimes you are struggling with "old issues" and sometimes it is more current stresses like anxiety, relationships, or just do not know what to do next; I believe when you are ready to make a change, having a supportive push can really work!

I believe that we all experience struggles in life, both within ourselves and through challenging circumstances. These struggles can result in trauma, anxiety, depression, brain and body changes, influence our sense of self-worth, identity, belief in our abilities, the world around us, and otherwise limit us . So often, these struggles can impact our relationships, career, and long-term well-being. Clients who want to address these, and other, concerns head on in a supportive manner with a trauma lens and utilize treatment guided by science and a neuro-biological approach would enjoy my approach to therapy.

Empowerment comes from being open to exploring your inner strength as a means of gaining insight and knowledge. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate space for self-discovery. Through the Empowerment Model I use an eclectic, client centered, and strength based approach to finding healing and growth in the midst of challenges. By exploring the origin of symptoms and how they influence thoughts and behaviors we can overcome obstacles to feeling genuine health and wellness.

Your pain is a key that can unlock the door to a better life. As a psychologist, I work to help you turn that key- to help open yourself to the compassion, enjoyment, and fulfillment that are waiting for you. I can help you through life's problems using evidence based therapy, meaning we will practice techniques that science has shown work when people commit to the process. I use a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which has been shown by research to be effective not only in reducing suffering but also in increasing life satisfaction.

Our time together starts by exploring your values and learning how we can make the therapy process align best with you, ironing out the wrinkles standing in your way. The significance that the change process has on all of us, and the universality in which we can all suffer, all heal, and all forge tools to maintain wellness in our lives is what's driven me through my over 7 years of clinical experience with adolescents and adults in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and groups settings. All of this informs the values of my practice: Collaboration, Creativity, Accountability, Acceptance, and Patience.

This “being human thing” is hard, and often feels uncomfortable. Sometimes the “uncomfortable” is experienced internally, sometimes externally, and sometimes both. This is a result of our actual or perceived response to the past, present, or future. Our work together will be focused on helping you to be “uncomfortable on purpose,” through identifying your values, increasing your capacity to tolerate uncertainty, processing what has maintained your current ways of living, and learning how to engage with yourself and others in a way that makes this “being human thing” a little bit easier.

I specialize in helping adult men with trauma and PTSD overcome patterns that keep them feeling stuck so they can experience greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. Trauma affects everyone differently, but social stigma and expectations for men to be unemotional and strong often lead to feelings of weakness that prevent men from seeking help when needed. Men sometimes externalize symptoms with substance use, anger, relationship conflict, social isolation, and workaholism. My goal is creating a safe space for you to address these patterns and move toward a greater sense of control, connectedness, and wellbeing.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we'll ever do." This quote by Brene Brown describes therapy well, particularly when the focus is healing from trauma. Therapy is a place to explore and embrace your story more fully, and my highest value is establishing an authentic, safe, compassionate, and accepting space where you can process what is keeping you "stuck." Whether you desire to develop skills to improve your relationships; process recent grief, divorce, childhood trauma, or cancer diagnosis; or alter core beliefs and lifelong behavior patterns; I would be honored to work with you.
