Relational Therapists in Pleasant Hill, OR

Currently accepting new clients. Are you seeking change, and not sure where to start or how to access the internal external resources for your healing journey? I enjoy working with people desiring growth in their lives, and seeking support to do so. This may entail learning new coping strategies or self-regulation skills, healing unresolved trauma, unlearning maladaptive patterns, experimenting with new ways of being, or a number of other possibilities. “We are born in relationship, we grow in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship.” — Harville Hendrix

Calling neurodivergent people, weirdos, feelers, people who speak to the wind, the ones who are also very logical, people who speak in noises and movement. Queer people, trans people, and all the other magical people who fall under LGBTQIA identities. The ones who seek to understand the wildest and hardest parts of being a human, the philosophers, the ones who speak to plants, etc. AND also humans who just wanna talk to someone who is also a human. I welcome you to reach out.

I thoroughly enjoy my work with all of my clients, but especially my work with families and couples. My approach is relational, meaning I help clients understand "what happened" that is causing distress, rather than "what's wrong with you", as my clients have so often heard from other professionals. My therapy is trauma informed, even if trauma is not the presenting concern. I hold deep respect for all clients. The key to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship, so this is my priority. I also provide both compassion and accountability for therapeutic goals.

I enjoy working with individuals and partners of diverse backgrounds and relational configurations. I am accepting new clients.

I believe in my client's inherent ability to heal and join with them to form a creative and collaborative relationship which promotes growth and transformation. My therapy practice integrates strength based disciplines including Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness based techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Practice currently full. Are you looking for support and compassion as you explore and process your experiences and struggles? We all experience times of difficulty and challenge throughout our lives and benefit from the support of therapy. My hope is to create a connected relationship, provide a comfortable and safe space, and to work with you collaboratively to move toward your hopes and goals. Your holistic self (e.g. culture, sexuality, gender, family of origin, etc.) and experiences are very important to understand and honor through our work together.

Dr. King believed that “Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.” I agree. Many family, school, work, economic, and social systems are unjust, and our relationships can be troubled, including relationships with our own bodies and minds. Our “maladjustment” happens for good reasons! In my opinion, many of the bodymind differences that get diagnosed as mental illness, chronic illness, and disabilities are normal and valuable aspects of human diversity. The purpose of therapy, therefore, is not to “fix” us but to help us bring more compassion, creativity, and transformation into our lives and our world.

I facilitate counseling from a holistic approach, using a variety of integrative therapeutic approaches. Difficult experiences and challenges deserve thoughtful and perceptive attention and I will help you identify inner strengths, create new self-awareness, build positive personal relationships, and healthier ways to move through adversity with a sense of wholeness and emotional stability. I offer insightful support to help examine core beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that are limiting growth, joy, and empowerment.

I have openings starting in September, mostly in morning (Mon/Wed) and on Telehealth. New Growth Begins...Let's Start the Conversation. Over twenty years of experience as licensed clinician working alongside children, young adults, and adults who have presented with a variety of mental health needs, adjustment concerns, transitions or life issues. I work with all ages and developmental stages of life. I do have specialty training providing play therapy along with seeing young adults and adults. I provide Clinical Supervision at the post graduate level for those practitioners working as Associates toward licensure.

I am currently accepting clients along the spectrum of issues revolving around relationships, intimacy, sexuality, and sexual identity. This includes individuals seeking a more full, balanced, and healthy relationship to self; as well as anyone seeking better relationships to others, including monogamous or polyamorous relationships, and communities.

I work with individuals, couples and families of all different ages and backgrounds. As a depth oriented and relational therapist, I use inner work, self-awareness techniques, parts work (IFS), dreamwork, relationship work, art, conflict resolution and communication techniques. My work helps individuals heal personal and intergenerational trauma, and find a greater sense of wholeness through the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. I am a good listener and follow closely the unfolding process of my clients. My work is deeply inspired by nature and helps clients seek insight from the balance of elements in the natural world.

Licensed in OR and CA. I work with individuals, couples and partnered adults to create a collaborative relationship. Fully understand your Self in relationship and what is happening for you in the present. In a safe holding, we explore the nature of the context in which you came to know yourself and understand your current situation and what you experience now. This process provides for flexibility, resilience, whole presence, agency and efficacy. When you know who you are and can be compassionate and accepting of yourself, resourcing and negotiating your needs in the world becomes both more peaceful and more satisfying.

Madhavi believes that we are all the unique byproducts of our own backgrounds and lived experiences. She believes that growth and change comes from one's connection to themselves, others, and their environment. As such, Madhavi believes that therapy must be tailored to fit each distinct individual and their life. Madhavi brings a multicultural perspective and unconditional positive regard to all of her sessions, welcoming all diverse backgrounds. She aims to assist and empower her clients as they work towards personal growth, healing, and fulfillment.

Apologies, my practice is full. I support clients in addressing issues related to identity, relationship and belonging. My work is anchored in a Relational model of care whose aim is to support the development and maintenance of mutually beneficial and sustainable relationships. I work with clients to identify and cultivate resources, supports and protective factors so they may feel increasingly more secure navigating life. My work with clients reflects my values of transparency, respect and courage. Much of my work focuses on resolving trauma wounding, with highly effective models of care such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

Accepting new clients! My personal philosophy is that through human connection, we can foster the motivation needed to take brave steps toward seeing an old pattern through a new perspective to create positive change. Therapy serves as a road map, illuminating the path so the client can make conscious choices. My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's self-image and world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic container.

I aim to offer a safe and inclusive space to support clients as they take new steps towards wellness. My therapeutic process is person-centered, emotion-focused, and values your unique context. My approach will emphasize your strengths and explore how we can build on what is already working for you. I want to support you in ways that focus on your goals and center your values.
