In Person Therapists in Hillsdale, Portland, OR

I'm Dr. Lily, a board certified child and adolescent psychologist. Put simply, I work with kids and their parents to make daily life easier. I help kids develop skills and strategies to manage the difficulties they are facing and help parents develop tools to allow their child to thrive. I love the work I do and am honored to help families during their challenging times. With over a decade of experience in school and medical settings, I specialize in working with children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, challenges with self-regulation, chronic illness, pain management, picky eating/ARFID, encopresis, and tic disorders.

I enjoy working with college students and adults in transition, whether in the midst of changes around relationship, life stage, grief and loss, spiritual concerns, or work/education. I especially enjoy working with those seeking therapy for the first time. So often we humans try to avoid our pain or we get stuck in it. It is important to effective therapy to bring your engagement in seeking change, your honesty, and your openness to feedback.

My passion is helping people heal and grow through difficult experiences, such as loss, trauma and life stressors. Through over 20 years of working with grief and trauma, I have come to believe in the healing power of sharing our stories. In addition, I believe good counseling helps us move us out of "stuck" patterns of unhelpful coping and into a state of thriving in our relationships, work and life pursuits. I specialize in treating grief and life transitions, but also work extensively with relationship challenges, illness, depression, anxiety, stress and issues related to wellness.

I am a counselor and psychotherapist with a passion for working with children over 10, adolescents, and adults who are recovering from childhood wounds, or who want to find new ways of relating to themselves or others. I have a master's degree in counseling psychology from Saint Mary's College of California and a state license in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also hold a credential in school counseling and served as a mental health provider and counselor at all K-12 grade levels. I was a counseling-skills trainer and adjunct faculty member in the graduate counseling department at Saint Mary's College.

You are not alone. Rather than being an obstacle, our bodies and our sensual nature can be integral to personal and spiritual liberation. My work is grounded, respectful and authentic. In confidential, online sessions, men gain mastery of how to generate, contain and transform sexual energy and cultivate deep presence. Women remember how to heal and reclaim their sexual power and become radiant in their ability to be love. Profound levels of respect and joy emerge within couples. As a result, we learn to relax deeply and access our life potential in a profound and powerful way.

I am a licensed psychologist who has worked with adults and teen for over 25 years. Prior to life in Montana and Oregon, I was at Stanford Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, where I was awarded a fellowship following my clinical internship at University of New Mexico Medical. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Oregon. I have worked with clients in various clinical settings, given national and international talks, facilitated many group therapy sessions and workshops for families, parents, and couples. I have been in private practice since 2014. I love what I do.

As a parent, it is difficult to see worry and self-doubt stand in the way of your teenager’s well-being and potential. You want your child to be happy and thrive, yet they appear anxious and unmotivated. You might lecture or give them advice, but that seems to create a larger wedge between you. Or even sets them off. You’re caught in a power struggle with the person you love the most. And all you want is to see them smile. I can help you.

My orientation to counseling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy is essentially a strengths perspective with a solution focus. The strengths perspective acknowledges all the strengths, resources and instinctual imperatives within an individual that have helped the individual get to the present moment.The strengths perspective helps me scan for the resources needed to resolve or modfy the treatment concern.

As a Mindfulness-Based Therapist, people come to me because they want to be heard, and I provide a safe and welcoming space where their voice is heard with respect and a non judgmental approach. I am skilled in listening not just to the spoken word, but also to the body and non verbal expressions. An essential component of my approach is to demonstrate and work with my clients on developing acceptance and compassion to themselves and others. Everyone who seeks therapy for medical, personal and interpersonal reasons is welcome to my clinic. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups.

Let's talk. Let's keep it real and explore the barriers to your optimal health and happiness. We will start where you are and build from there. I have worked in mental health and addictions for many years and I believe that the therapeutic relationship that we build on mutual respect, trust and transparency will be the foundation of your treatment. We will work together to identify your challenges and strengths, and create a plan to support your thriving future.

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.

Most folks can handle the ups and downs of life unless their closest relationships are in trouble. That's what brings people to me. With over two decades as facilitator of personal and relational growth in individuals, couples and families, I am psycho-dynamic (seek to 'peel back the layers') with individuals, helping them to become free from the emotional baggage of childhood. I offer a systems-oriention with couples and families along with some Gottman tools and Prepare and Enrich. I developed a therapeutic program for a children's home in CA and served as their therapist and staff trainer for 5 years.

Therapy is helpful! Deciding to engage in therapy may not be an easy decision; I assure that you will be met with warmth, compassion and respect. I incorporate a mindfulness approach to treatment and utilize acceptance and change strategies to help you reach your goals. My approach is collaborative, welcoming and non-judgmental. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the field since 2007. I have experience working in varied settings including community mental health center's, hospital/ER settings, Portland DBT Institute, Inc and private practice.

I help couples, families and individuals get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable ways of living. I work with clients who want to get help quickly and don't want to spend years in therapy. I work with clients who are looking for effective, progress-oriented approaches to change.

As an adult child of a person with Substance Use Disorder, I know how painful it can be to love someone struggling with addiction. I have experience working in residential SUD treatment as well as working with their loved ones. I have a passion for recovery and I seek to connect with others who have been impacted by addiction. Beyond the scope of addiction, my clinical interests include family systems, codependence, and trauma, among others. I work with adult individuals, couples, and families.

Hi! My name is Leslie Gellert. The way that I see therapy as an opportunity to identify what your challenges are, what your strengths are and ultimately where you see yourself. Human beings are inherently resilient and I am excited about helping the people I work with make changes in their lives that lead to balance and connection. I specialize in working with kids, adolescents and perinatal clients. My theoretical orientation is based on interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy, ACT, solution-focused therapy, collaborative problem solving and motivational interviewing. I look forward to meeting you!

Sometimes we just need someone to hear us. We have the answers, we may just need the guidance to uncover our path. Other times we need support as we consider our choices and reflect on our challenges. I believe that the relationship we build together is the most important part of trusting the therapeutic process.
