Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Portland, OR

I utilize a holistic, trauma-sensitive approach to support the healing of those who have experienced various forms of abuse, interpersonal violence and trauma. I use Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients understand, appreciate and heal the emotional and physiological responses that come with trauma and PTSD.

You’ve been hit hard by life. Your emotions are overwhelming at times. You’re frozen by indecision and self-doubt. You’re doing well in your career but you’re not being noticed or promoted because you can’t seem to make relationships work. You have trouble with trust and intimacy. You experience your world through the lens of negativity, hopelessness and pessimism. You know you’re childhood history of abuse, of being bullied or shamed has created the high degrees of anxiety you feel around people and fear of being judged. You know you need therapy though you know talking about your past has never helped, and yet you keep trying.

I am accepting new clients. And I see couples and individuals who come to me for many reasons: frustration, sadness, grief, worry, irritability, responses from past trauma (such as nightmares, startle response, and flashbacks) and struggling to get along even though they really love their partner. Individuals who work with me have numerous unique needs and goals and the same is true for couples. But overall, people want inner freedom which opens their horizons and also grounds them in love, harmony and peace. People want to live in the present and have optimism about their future and feel connected to their loved ones.

Hi, I am glad you are here. I’m Mike Schwarting, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I am accepting new clients in Oregon! I believe that therapy is a process of making connections between people. In a chaotic and unsettled world, having a real connection with a knowledgeable, kind, and above all, supportive therapist can mean the difference between despair and living the life you deserve. I work primarily with adults, and have extensive experience with men’s issues, the LGBTQIA+ community, and relationship therapy. I practice according to WPATH and APA standards of care.

Have you had a head injury (or many) and haven’t felt the same since - mentally, emotionally, hormonally? It could be due to post-concussion syndrome. Do you experience chronic mental or cognitive health issues that aren’t helped with talk therapy, medications, or any other treatment you’ve tried? LENS, low energy neurofeedback system, might help! It helps to rewire the brain - stimulates new connections in the brain via neuroplasticity, which allow for long-lasting changes. LENS is great for most chronic mental and brain health conditions for kids and adults. Dr. Madrigal is licensed in OR & WA; in-person appts only in Portland.

I pull largely from my experiences with Buddhist Meditation and Psychodynamic Therapy. I typically begin by helping people with anxiety, depression and/or compulsive behaviors. As these begin to improve, some people want to move further into unconscious material related to attachment, trauma and shadow work. I also lead psychotherapy groups for those wanting to engage in emotional work with other growth-minded individuals (See below).

In 2023, I cofounded Grove Mental Health LLC (www.grovementalhealth.com) in order to directly implement the expertise I have gained over the past two decades of work in the mental health field. At the core of my practice is a belief that together we are removing barriers. With the fog of depression removed, with the constant noise of anxiety removed, with the weight of trauma removed, we can be free to live in congruence with that best version of ourselves. The work that we do will be to foster the confidence and connection with what lies within, tapping into the strength and stability provided by all of our intertwined roots.
