Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Oregon

As a neurodivergent person, I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating our world. The constant ebb and flow of mental health, compounded by external pressures, can be incredibly overwhelming and defeating. I know how deeply activating relationships with others can be and how painful it can be to be vulnerable. I have also witnessed the deeply transformative power that comes from having support, access to resources, introspection, and time to process with another person.

From personal experience, I know how hard navigating the ups and downs of modern life can be. Debilitating thoughts like, “I’m not enough,” become barriers to progression. This brand of negative self-talk often leaves one feeling stuck and using whatever means necessary to alleviate the pain. I work from a philosophy that all emotions are “good” emotions. Like positive emotions, hard emotions give you insight into who you are and what's important to you. I believe the answers to creating a life worth living reside inside each one of us. My job is to help you uncover your unique ability to manage the challenges life throws your way.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the step of seeking out therapy; I find that contacting someone is the most difficult part. As you look for a therapist, I encourage you to first consider characteristics of the individual you believe you’ll connect with most and consider their education, licensure, and clinical approach second.

Beginning your journey in therapy can be difficult and overwhelming…perhaps even a little scary. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and explore some of the most difficult aspects of your life. That’s why it is so important to find someone who you can trust. I believe life is not just made up of one- but many journeys and the experiences along the way. I enjoy working with individuals who have a multitude of different experiences, cultures, and backgrounds. These experiences help me to incorporate the most important aspects of your identity to ensure your treatment is in alignment with your core beliefs and values.

Hello I am Ashley it is nice to meet you. I am currently taking new clients in OR and WA. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor in the State of Oregon, as well as a License Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington. I have provided treatment to individuals suffering from eating disorders, substance use disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, marital and relational issues, grief and loss, as well as all forms of anxiety disorders, mood disorders and a vast range of substance, sex and gambling disorders.

As a family therapist, I believe that each family, couple and individual has the ability to heal using their own internal strengths. My focus is on restoring balance and building communication within families as they are integral in increasing the overall well-being of individuals, couples and families. I identify symptoms such as marital discord, addiction, behavioral issues among children and adolescents, mental and medical health issues as becoming an unhelpful part of the family system. My approach to reduce the impact of these symptoms and break harmful patterns is collaborative, encouraging members to be open and honest throughout the progression of therapy.

Welcome! I know change is hard, but it is necessary if you want something in your life to be different. I will try my best to help you conquer your negative thoughts, gain understanding, help build your sense of self, and improve your relationships with others.

Therapy is a wonder to me. It’s a powerful space where we can nurture a safe environment to explore the painful aspects of the human experience. At times, we can undergo a profound feeling of being stuck or lost without knowing how to find relief. I love coming alongside people on that journey, bringing a curious, non-judgmental stance to your healing process. I'd want to give more gentle attention to both your light and shadow in hopes to reduce inner conflict and promote a deeper and more kind self-inquiry. Through compassion, warmth, and much-needed humor, my hope is to bring ease as you travel uneasy waters.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela. Sometimes we really want growth, change and/or to just feel better, but the fear of change is real. Men, in particular men of color, find seeking help as a sign of weakness. One of the bravest things you could ever do and the rewards are limitless when you face this challenge. If you are up for the challenge, I am ready to assist!

Hello my name is Jacob and it's nice to meet you! I am currently accepting new clients in Oregon. I have a background in the neurodevelopmental impact of trauma and I use a combination of evidence-based therapies and tools that include: CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. I am particularly welcoming to teens, 14 +, members of the LGBTQ community, people of color and people who identify as neurodivergent.

I believe psychotherapy is a project between two people where sources of emotional pain and anguish are discovered and revisited, where what has been denied, unimagined, forgotten, or come to be unspeakable can become imagined, felt and spoken. The process generates an understanding of ourselves that is vastly more dynamic than what our relationships, politics and culture allow, leading to the easing of suffering and the creation of new possibilities.

I work with a diverse client base, ranging from children to adult, using evidence-based therapies in person or via telehealth. I specifically am focused on clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or familial/romantic relationship themes. I have spent time working internationally with the most vulnerable of populations and am excellent at drawing out those not familiar with the talk therapy model. I am happy to use a clients existing coping strategies such as spiritual beliefs and practices or help create new ones.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Oregon and have been practicing since 2019. Prior to this, I earned my certification as an Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC I) in 2014 while working with unhoused folks in a shelter in Corvallis setting providing wrap-around services to mandated and self-referred clients in addictions and domestic violence intervention. I grew up in Oakland CA, and for those who have never been, social justice and social welfare are constantly relevant topics in education and in passing

I believe that much of what we think, feel, and believe is outside of our immediate awareness. Much of the time we think our conscious mind is 'driving the bus' so to speak, yet it is our unconscious that grips the wheel and drives us down roads we have unwittingly been down many times before. We develop beliefs of the self, of others, and of the world in general based on experiences we have earlier in life, often outside of our current awareness. These unexamined beliefs can prevent us from experiencing ourself and others in a healthy and authentic manner.

In my relationships with all of my clients I strive to build on ideas of kindness, equality, safety, trust, empathy and always a client centered approach. I like to incorporate in my therapeutic interventions a whole mind/body healing approach.

Currently Accepting Clients for July 2024. As your therapist, I strive to create a safe space to process, set goals, and work on making meaningful change in your life. Right now you may feel "stuck" and unsure of how to move forward. You are dealing with unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety or other complications that are making life difficult and make your feel disconnected from yourself and others. I believe that together we can work towards helping you feel more joy, motivation, and empowerment in your life.
