Attachment-based Therapists in Newport, OR

Our experiences and emotions play a vital role in how we interpret, make sense of, connect and interact in this world. Life can be challenging to navigate independently. Sometimes we need another person to walk with us on our journey. I believe everyone has the ability to make changes and that people genuinely do well if they have the skills, resources, and support they need. I help people searching to understand their emotions and practice new ways of connecting with themselves, others, and the world around them to help them live a life that is more aligned with their authentic selves.

Welcome to True North Counseling, I am Peggy Russell, and I honor this step you are taking to care for and invest in yourself through therapy. It is my belief that being seen and heard in the caring non-judgmental presence of another creates an environment where deep healing can occur. I practice from a mind-body holism approach, meaning I honor the inseparable union of mind and body.

Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences. My clinical focus is through the lens of attachment, that is, how are the bonds we are creating effective or ineffective in our current lives. You are the expert in your own experiences. I collaboratively work with you to define, encourage, and assist, in a safe and trusting environment.

I have many years of experience helping people with a wide array of concerns. A partial list includes; depression, anxiety, family or relationship issues, trauma, loss, increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance, and making life decisions and achieving goals. I offer techniques and suggestions that can reduce current distress, but also prioritize a collaborative relationship to increase understanding of your self and understanding patterns of thought and behavior that can open the door to choices that support lasting life satisfaction.
