Parenting Therapists in Wilsonville, OR

Kids and teens have difficult and confusing things happen and need a space to process so they can move forward with freedom, confidence, and hope. You are not alone in looking for support for your child. Most kids don't want to sit still and talk about their feelings. They want to be heard and seen and have fun. We keep this in mind as combine various research based methods such as play therapy, sand tray therapy, wilderness therapy and interactive feedback to create a personalized intentional experience that is engaging, fun, and healing. I'm also Christian and my office is housed on a church campus.

I work with adults, to support challenges including life transitions, parenting, identity formation, and trauma work. I believe that we each have a story with a unique perspective and voice. I enjoy working with people as they come back to a place of joy and fulfillment after an experience that has left them emotionally tired.

I have experience supporting clients with a range of issues, and have training in many different treatment methods. I work well with motivated clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress management, gender exploration, as well as parenting and relationship challenges. If it seems what you are looking for is outside of my scope of practice or experience, I will work to connect you with providers and resources to best serve your needs.

Reaching out for help demonstrates inner strength and willingness to face various life challenges. As an immigrant, accessing resources and services that feel inclusive and culturally sensitive is challenging. My journey in healing as an individual, a mother, and a caring community member has sparked a desire to provide culturally sensitive care to people from all walks of life. Although many clients have experienced marginalization due to their background as an immigrant (BIPOC, MENA, AMEMSA), other clients have realized numerous privileges in their life and felt a sense of inclusion and reconciliation within the larger community.

I specialize in trauma based treatment, working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting issues, marriage & family difficulties, weight issues/struggles, spiritual crisis & questions, women's issues including struggles associated with pregnancy & postpartum, coping with spousal abuse, pornography addiction, etc.

Are you struggling to understand a relationship that may be abusive, trying to heal from trauma, or need support with gender, identity, or LGBTQ2SIA+ issues?

If you have struggled with any of the above, we can help you sort out your goals for healing and help you get to a better place.

My name is Margaret McGuire. I am licensed in Oregon and California. My office is located in Canby, OR. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), bring therapy that is evidence based. ART provides rapid relief from intrusive memories and sensations by incorporating effective rapid eye movements. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns. I believe my many years of experience and compassionate approach will help you make the needed changes you are seeking. I can also offer a faith based perspective.

Positive Inner Self's therapists have extensive history working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults working through difficult behaviors, parental relational issues, trauma and abuse, reunification, foster and adoption issues, anxiety, depression and trauma. We have helped many individuals working through past trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. We are client centered meaning we don't have our own agenda. You decide what you want to work on, we help you to figure out the solutions best for you while having a few laughs.

I create a safe, non-judgmental space for children/adolescents/young adults and their families through deep listening and observation, forming an authentic, trusting, compassionate relationship where understanding and healing can begin by processing difficult experiences, thoughts, or behaviors. I take a whole-brain, whole-body approach to customize a treatment plan for each client, building upon their strengths and unique gifts. Utilizing Play, Art, Nature and Book Therapy, as well as YogaCalm and Collaborative Problem Solving, my goal is to have a calm, grounded client that finds joy and can set goals to pursue their dreams.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, struggling in your relationships, or having difficulty navigating life changes? Perhaps, past events continue to impact you. It takes courage to reach out for support. My approach is practical and holistic. I believe counseling is a collaborative process. Consistency and commitment to therapy and personal growth can result in a reduction in distressing emotions, increased coping skills, improved relationships, a greater sense of inner peace and personal empowerment to create the life you want.

No one understands the pain you are feeling. It’s exhausting to carry this weight every day. You can’t imagine it will ever get better. You want change.

If you are having problems with anxiety, depression, coping with illness or injury, or because of conflict in your primary relationship, I would be happy to help. I also work well with people who have had long-term problems, or who have found previous therapy unhelpful or of limited benefit. I see therapy as more than just advice, but getting to the root cause and understanding how physical, emotional and belief systems interact. Reducing dependence on medications, relieving emotional suffering, or restoring love and communication are among the goals we can address.

Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop. These experiences, while deeply painful, can be harnessed as moments of growth in our lives that cause us to understand ourselves, our faith, our relationships, and the world around us to a much greater degree.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, or frustrated in your relationship? Do you want to improve your communication, intimacy, and trust with your partner?

Many people face challenges in their lives that affect their well-being and happiness. That is why I am here to hold space and unravel these challenges you may face. Whether you are looking for couples therapy or individual therapy; I am ready to work with you and help you create positive changes in your life.

The road of life isn't always smooth and easy... and it's a road you don't have to navigate alone. Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Do you defeat yourself with self-critical thinking? Does stress get in the way of accomplishing your goals in life? I enjoy working with clients who are ready to seek the road to recovery - from trauma, abuse, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and the stress of life.

I offer a unique blend of faith-based spiritual direction along with competent and experienced mental health counseling and effective treatment planning. A majority of my clients are seeking an experienced mental health therapist/relationship counselor in whom they place confidence that their most deeply-held spiritual values are understood and shared. I primarily treat Christian individuals, couples and families that are facing difficulties with anger and abuse, blended-family, sexual addiction, unfaithfulness, marital discord, or depression and anxiety, along with a variety of spiritual concerns.

Hope is tangible. “Existe la esperanza.” Life experiences, hurts, burdens, and endless chaos can leave one devastated, isolated, and feeling alone. There is more than emptiness. There is tangible and real-life hope. Ingrid has worked with people for over fifteen years in the role of educator, mentor, and professional counselor. She has spent much time also working with crisis and trauma victims, those working through times of deep grieving and loss, individuals sorting through and understanding their identity, self- worth, and those managing every day with anxiety and depression.
