Trauma Focused Therapists in Lake Oswego, OR
I specialize in working with young adults, including students and early career professionals, who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, depression, burn-out and more. If you're asking yourself "how am I supposed to balance school/work, having a social life, eating healthy, exercising, having hobbies and taking care of my mental health?!" you are not alone. Adulting is hard, even if you feel like you "should" have it down by now. You might feel like your thoughts are always negative or spiraling out of control or you're always tense or can't seem to stay in the moment for things that are "supposed" to be fun.

Hi, my name is Linda Dreisbach, and I have created my practice to fit my client's needs based off what they have told me over the years. Often times, I hear people say, "I have put off going to therapy, because I don't want to go for years talking about something only to find it doesn't help." Or, "I have been in therapy for so long, will I ever get better? I feel so stuck!" "I go for an hour, and by the end of the session, I feel like we were just getting somewhere, and now I have to wait 1 or 2 more weeks." Sometimes people have said, "I feel life is so hard right now, I need more than one session a week."

As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, genuine, creative, and hands-on way to process loss, trauma and overwhelm. Maybe the past is not allowing you to move forward, or worry about the future makes you feel stuck. Perhaps you have lost a loved one, or your health, or a job, or an important relationship. Perhaps you are looking for a way to express yourself fully and integrate your experiences, but need structure and guidance to do so. I offer art therapy sessions in both individual and group format.

My hope for therapy, and our time together, is that you can start to become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, behaviors and beliefs. By doing this you will start the process of empowering yourself towards a whole healthy person. We will spend time together examining each of these categories in a way that will give you a new outlook on life. I also believe balance in life is needed, and often times we lose this balance. Together we can explore ways to regain sense of self and establish balance.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and direct. I will be respectful, but I will also be honest. I routinely give homework assignments as part of therapy, with the belief that if you accomplish the task you will start to experience the change you seek. I will try to understand both the nature and context of your problem and the potential impact of change before I offer helpful solutions. I will ask you about where you are trying to go, and we will work together to develop a practical plan to help you get there.

I believe that throughout our lives we are seeking to deepen our self-awareness, learn & grow from our experiences, & aim to break patterns of behavior that are no longer benefiting us. While we’re doing the best we can with the knowledge we have, there may be times we need additional support. I understand the complexities that come with exploring our inner world & believe it takes a lot of bravery, strength & vulnerability to peel back the curtain & take a look inside; especially when the idea of doing so feels scary, confusing, or impossible. I aim to provide services that are tailored to fit your unique needs & goals for therapy.

In my opinion, we all need a little therapy now and again! Just like our bodies need regular care and upkeep, and some extra support from a medical professional sometimes, our minds and internal selves need regular attention and support, as well. Therapy has a place for the proactive mental health seekers and those who have pain and vulnerabilities. I enjoy working with people who need support with depression, anxiety, stressful life circumstances and relationship issues, severe mental illness, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and chronic pain. These are all areas where I've been able to help clients move forward in their lives.
