Male Therapists in Multnomah Village, Portland, OR

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.

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with an established private practice since 2002. I specialize in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping people develop self-understanding about internal and relational dynamics which are repeated for reasons outside of consciousness. I assist clients with a variety of issues including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, anger, parenting, and recurring self defeating behaviors.

I see individuals, couples and families who are seeking support for things they feel are not going well in their lives. From the Family Systems perspective, any number of issues can be looked at together. My work is centered around interpersonal relationships and how we interact with each other, our selves and our communities. Relationship dynamics are constantly in and out of balance. Managing these relationships is key in helping develop healthy ways of dealing with life issues. The work we do together should feel helpful and focused on your goals.

Not currently accepting new clients. Waitlist only. I work with individuals (adults) and couples facing a variety of challenges. I will help you tackle depression, anxiety, conflict, PTSD, grief and other challenges so that pain and fear do not block you from life satisfaction and good relationships. Where you feel stuck can be what propels you forward. What causes you pain can be what ultimately changes your life situation. My approach is sensitive, compassionate, humorous at times, and defined by a passion for helping others live their best life.

I provide a nonjudgemental space for clients to address anything you choose to bring to therapy. I work primarily with Narrative Therapy, which is a world view as much as it is a therapeutic approach. The Narrative approach puts your story at the center of the conversation. People in my practice are also seen through a multi-storied lens rather than a narrow singular story. I will have a friendly and laid back approach in our sessions. At the same time, I will also offer you direct feedback and honest observations. Mindfulness work, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Relational work are also important to me.

Do you feel sad, anxious, lonely, or misunderstood by others? Perhaps you feel discouraged by repetitive, heart-wrenching patterns in your relationships with loved ones, or obstacles to progressing in your career? As a well-trained, experienced, and compassionate psychotherapist, I have helped many people overcome difficulties they worried might be intractable. My aim is to help you think about and get beyond the specific challenges in your life using methods that have proven efficacy. I work collaboratively in setting goals, solving problems, and uncovering the factors that drive your distressing feelings, thoughts, or behaviors.

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.

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.

I enjoy working with the full spectrum of development, from personal and relational issues to transpersonal and spiritual growth issues. As relational beings, the power to heal and grow is unlocked through the therapeutic relationship, so this is at the center of the work. Using the relationship and our present moment awareness, we can explore self-limitations, alienation in relationships, lack of fulfillment, and the understandable anxiety and depression that arises from those challenges.

I’m a pre-licensed couple and family therapist seeing clients on telehealth. While new to practicing therapy, I have been working in non-profit mental health education for half of a decade and have trained at Antioch University for three years in their couple and family therapy program.

I provide a focused and understanding space that supports you opening to your own aliveness and your voice. I bring my full attention, my honest feeling, and I will share what I see will help you. Often our first response to misfortune is to fight against it. While we may have skillful ways of doing this, our efforts nevertheless become futile and disconnect us from others. Our energy gets bound up, we get stuck in elusive cycles. However, our truths are complex and deserve to be recognized.

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from painful symptoms, relationship issues and self-defeating patterns. They may feel alone and isolated in their suffering. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

I believe that people are generally capable of overcoming obstacles in their lives, but sometimes they need help with finding the right tools. I provide hope, encouragement, insight, and guidance so that my clients can find their path to happiness. My goal for clients is to help them become more effective, insightful, self-confident, and successful at overcoming future hurdles in their own lives and in their relationships.

I work with adults and young adults facing difficult passages in their lives. I've learned that there is always opportunity in crisis, and development when things feel stuck. It means a lot to me to help people feel understood and to find meaning in their lives. I work with High functioning adults, young adults and couples.

Sometimes we can be unkind to ourselves, feel disconnected in our relationships or overwhelmed by life's problems. I believe counseling is a learning process. I will work with you to develop a compassionate understanding of who you are and new insight about areas in your life where you want support to change. I am passionate about working with individuals and families to support mental health and healing from addiction. I believe our well-being is informed by a healthy connection to family and community. In the therapy process I incorporate perspectives including relationship attachment, developing insight through mindfulness and understanding the effects of trauma.

It is possible that life has put you in an unexpected place and things are not turning out the way you thought they would? I'll work with you to achieve your maximum God-given potential of who you are and who you desire to be. Whatever your challenge, I offer a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and an interactive approach to help you find a solution. We each have different life experiences; whether they are anxieties, depression, trauma or relationship issues we can find the correct path to take on your journey to a healthier, happier life.

As an experienced adolescent therapist, I am passionate about helping teens and young adults figure out who they are, who they want to be, and the barriers keeping them from realizing these goals. I have assisted hundreds of adolescents through academic challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, substance use, ADHD, traumatic experiences, social anxiety and divorce. We work together to develop healthy ways to manage our emotional life, identify strengths which can support self-confidence and motivation, and learn to trust we are worthy of the love and connection we want in our relationships.
