Therapists in Salem, OR

Hello! In my years of experience, I have found that my primary method of working with others is to come from a person-centered point of view. We work together to better understand your point of view. I've worked with folks who struggle with anxiety and depression, life stressors, and those who may have a history of trauma. My goal is to come alongside you during your journey and help you discover ways to cope with what has been going on in your life, and to help you address any unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior that may, at times, get in the way of you achieving your personal goals.

Looking for a therapist can be complicated, so let's keep it simple: I treat individual clients and couples. I primarily treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have a long history of supporting Autistic and ADHD folks - neurodivergency of all kinds is welcome here! I believe that most problems have their roots in the past, have the opportunity to be changed in the present, and can provide us the key for a hopeful future. If you are looking for a quiet and accepting place that can help you create thoughtful and sustainable changes, my office is a great place to be.

Step into a therapeutic space where healing awaits. Whether you're a teen navigating the complexities of growing up or an adult seeking guidance on your journey, I’m here to support you. Working with those that are ready and motivated for change (or just need a little support getting there) is a great fit for my style.

I am autistic, and a neurodiversity-affirming professional. This means I do not seek to change others, but focus on strength and adaptation, not assimilation. We can dig into life's fundamental questions: Who am I, what do I want, why am I here, and who should journey with me? I am not a therapist, but instead, I specialize in consulting and coaching those who want to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Our work together might focus on recovering from past mistakes, understanding how we came to those mistakes, and learning to make different choices and decisions in the future. It might be learning to say no.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anais Nin. Life is a process of becoming, as Anais Nin so eloquently states. At Journeys, we believe that all people are whole and complete, but may have barriers or blocks hindering their full expression of their true selves. We hold a sacred space where you can continue your path of "becoming".

It’s my belief that within relationships healing and growth occurs. As your counselor, my goal is to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space where you can feel safe exploring difficult experiences, sharing vulnerable emotions, and identifying any barriers to your goals. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your own life and that my role is to walk alongside you, helping to facilitate growth and any changes you may desire.

Welcome, I'm Roseanne and I am honored to help women who have survived hard things heal and evolve their lives. I bring an empathetic, open, and non-judgmental presence to my work and I am committed to creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain clarity about what's getting in the way of you having a life worth waking up for everyday. I specialize in providing individual therapy for women who have a diverse range of life experiences and challenges.

I have worked with varied populations throughout Louisiana and Oregon; most often with male & female adults, couples, adolescents, and children ages 7-11. I have addressed multiple varied needs including sexual dysfunction, gang activity, drug use, domestic violence, PTSD, personality, mood disorders as well as relationship issues. **Education: I have a bachelor's degree (4 years) in Psychology (Oregon State University, Corvallis). I also have (one year) education (Holy Cross College, New Orleans, Louisiana) in Marriage and Family Therapy. I acquired a master's degree in Social Work (3 year master's program) from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

My goal is to provide you with support and guidance on your journey of healing and growth. I believe that you have the strength and resilience to navigate your challenges. It is a privilege for me to walk with you on the journey of discovering your inner resources and unique path to well-being. I hold a safe, non-judgmental space for you, where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences and where we can build a strong foundation of collaboration and growth.

I work with children and adults experiencing worry, anxiety, grief, depression, shame, low self-esteem, and other stressors, challenges, or changes in life. We are not meant to deal with the difficulties of life alone. Therapy provides a place to feel heard and understood. It can offer a fresh perspective and help you find solutions. I believe that when a person feels safe, accepted, and emotionally supported that healing can begin. My style is warm, gentle, encouraging, and collaborative. I focus on connecting with you, exploring your story, and identifying strengths and opportunities.

I'm a mental health counselor and my passion is helping people, getting to know people, and caring about people. I do my best to learn what the needs are of each of my clients so I can personalize each therapeutic approach. I enjoy working with children of all ages and have a special focus on childhood trauma and victims of abuse. The vast majority of my work has been serving people with trauma of all ages and communities.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of mental and emotional health as they commit to the process of growing in wholeness. As a Person-Centered therapist, I believe that wholeness is a result of spiritual, relational, emotional and mental wellbeing. I believe that counseling provides opportunities for self-awareness and personal growth within the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Are you looking for increased peace and trust in yourself? Maybe life is going generally well, but you have a sense that something is missing or you struggle with feeling you are not enough. Do you wonder if there is a way to feel deeper connection with others and yourself? If any of this sounds familiar, I would be honored to partner with you in exploring your concerns and listening on a deep level to what your heart and soul is longing for.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, so take a moment to acknowledge that you have come this far in recognizing therapy may be a helpful approach for you. Therapy requires self-reflection, an open heart, and a curious mind into learning about ourselves and the way in which we interact with the world and those around us. Although it may be daunting, it is incredibly rewarding to unpack and understand what is getting in the way of happiness, growth, and self-compassion.

I believe in developing a supportive and collaborative environment where my clients feel empowered, this allows them to move beyond their limitations and discover greater life satisfaction.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to move through their emotional trauma and become the best versions of themselves. My modality is to work with the clients who are struggling with grief, loss, anxiety, depression, identity. disorders and much more. My hope is that each person is treated with dignity and respect while working on their therapeutic goals.

Life is a continual marathon, growth is an ongoing process, success is not defined by a tangible finish line and we as humans can do hard things; however, sometimes seeking therapy helps us get through hard things with the help and guidance of another person. At times, we are able to manage and navigate our struggles and other times our struggles are overwhelmingly difficult. If you feel that you have reached a point where would like assistance improving mental or emotional distress, then you have come to the right place!

My name is Anne M. Carroll, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I view therapy as an opportunity for the client and me to identify obstacles and challenges that are getting in the way of his/her/their functioning or overall happiness. Then, we work together to reduce or eliminate those obstacles.

I offer therapy services for individuals and families, and see clients between the ages of 12 and 40 years old. I approach counseling through the understanding that individuals are a product of their environmental contexts and may equally influence those contexts. I also believe that we do not exist in a stagnant and unchanging world, and are continuously evolving as individuals, which shapes my scope of practice. I focus on working with clients towards empowerment and identifying behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns that may no longer serve their best interests.
