I am Dr. Kathy Marshack, psychologist and author. My credentials go back decades including a Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Doctorate in Psychology. I've trained with the best too. But as valuable as my education, training and experience are, I also know that each one of you is as unique and special as your fingerprints. I want to help you, so I'm offering Online Therapy for Oregon and Washington residents and Online Education appointments for various topics. Check my clinical website to make an appointment with me: www.kmarshack.com. I am not currrently taking new clinical clients at this time.

Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is to allow the client to tell their story in an open, judgement-free environment creating a safe and trusting connection with treatment designed according to what makes sense to you. Whether you need assistance in processing your experiences, have a specific problem/habit, are seeking general growth, or simply need support and a trusting connection. I offer short and long-term treatment designed to work with you and your unique situation and experiences.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. My primary research focus is transpersonal experiences and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration. My philosophy is one of organicity, meaning that every individual is gifted with an innate healing wisdom and capacity for wholeness. As a former earth scientist and current artist, I incorporate lessons from nature and creative expression in my work, and seek to help others reconnect with the more subtle rhythms of psyche as a woven thread in the generative fabric of life.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process of growth and exploration. Taking the step to begin therapy can be challenging, but I am here to support you wherever you are in your journey. It is important to me to make my clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I am passionate about working with adults ages 20-65 who are experiencing a variety of stressors and mental health conditions.

Due to ongoing concerns with COVID-19, I am now offering sessions via phone & confidential video platforms. Stay Safe & Connected. Re-discover your natural strength & deep rooted source of power. Give yourself permission to do you. Overcome stress & enjoy your daily challenges. Explore early attachment & its impact on your current self-view. Improve your relationships. Rewrite self-script. Plan your next move while learning to be in this moment. Discover reasons to be holistic. Transform negative energy into creative ability. I am a proponent of deep self care as well as setting realistic goals & actionable plans.

My commitment is to offer effective therapy. As a person seeking therapy, you need a counselor who can understand and meet you where healing and growth is waiting to take place within you. Let's connect and find out if that counselor is me. I offer depth therapy that is emotionally sensitive, trauma-informed and transpersonal: integrating soul-searching and the management of daily life & relationships. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of nature therapy, body-centered expression and a receptive, feminine/masculine balanced approach.

I love working with a variety of people. I have a lot of experience working with: survivors of trauma, neurodivergent/neurospicy brains, parents, therapists, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in poly and open relationships, people in monogamous relationships, and people who are just generally tired of hearing their therapist respond to everything with “mmmmmm…. How does that make you feel?” While I will ask you how things make you feel, (I am still a therapist after all) I am very engaged and proactive as a therapist. I love helping people get somewhere in their life that they didn’t believe they could.

Welcome! I work with people who may be struggling to understand themselves and find congruence in relationships. In this vein, I will assist you in exploring how your past impacts your present. Together we collaborate on goals that are aligned with your definition of well-being.

Currently Taking New Clients in Oregon and Washington states. My passion is to walk alongside individuals to support them in finding their strengths. I am compassionate and will meet you where you are at. I think that self-investing and community care are essential to our mental wellness, and together I will walk alongside you on your journey of finding that contentment you are searching for. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process through and collaborate in finding those safe coping strategies to achieve your goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty-five years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a range of concerns from active delusions, paranoid ideations, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, drug usage, and a range of other mood disorders.

Hello, I'm Quinne. I have been in the Social Work field since 2006, and have focused most of my career in behavioral health and public health. I often spend a lot of time working with folx around healthy relationships, attachment, trauma healing, the complexities of identity, and I work from an anti-oppressive practice lens. I often bring considerations of intersectionality and privilege into the room. I identify as Queer and Biracial myself, and often support folx in these realms. I like to have a consultation with folx to see if we are a good fit, and think it's important for folx to find the therapist that is right for them.

My treatment approach combines Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies with mindfulness to provide you with a diverse set of tools to explore your past, understand your present, and enact meaningful change in your life. Together, we will explore how your present is influenced by your past and identify the patterns you are unconsciously repeating in your behaviors and choices.

I provide therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of strengths and challenges. I integrate expressive arts with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process feelings and experiences, reduce inner conflict, and improve relationships. I use a multi-arts, or intermodal, approach, which means I use movement, visual art, music and sound, writing, and mindfulness as therapeutic tools to initiate healing and change. Since this work is based on the creative process and not the resulting product, no background or training in the arts is required to benefit.

We all get stuck sometimes; and we suffer. Life often feels messy and chaotic, and in the midst of "the daily grind" we experience ourselves as unbalanced, fragmented, and "all over the place." Life is perpetually full of transition and change; and our habituated ways of being in the world are often at odds with the ebb and flow of life's events, and we experience stress, conflict and pain. Despite our resources, strategies and efforts to cope with challenges, we often get stuck; and end up feeling dissatisfied with ourselves, disenchanted with others, and disconnected from life, vitality, joy.

We all struggle at times, but shouldn’t have to deal with life’s challenges alone. That’s what counseling is for. I believe in your capacity to embrace your authentic self, heal from painful experiences, and feel better. The people I work with often struggle with self-esteem, relationships, sexuality, gender identity, communication, career, depression, anxiety, grief. Helping you feel better and understand the root of your suffering is what I am here for. I believe that understanding yourself and healing go hand-in-hand.
