I love hats, and I wear a lot. You'll see!

Maybe you don't love to wear literal hats like I do, but I'm sure that you wear all sorts of figurative hats to manage life's challenges. We all feel pressured to be a certain way in life, and sometimes that pressure leads us into internal and relational disunity, disorganization, and psychological bondage as we try to figure out which hat to wear. When we find ourselves in this predicament, it can keep us from letting our hair down, letting go, and connecting with ourselves and others.

My life's work is to discover how to bring unity, organization, psychological freedom, and relational thriving in the lives of each person I have the privilege to work with. I have 15 years experience working in a variety of settings, group homes, residential treatment, and most recently outpatient based community mental health, both in the office and school setting. I have specialty training in Parent-child Interaction Therapy and am working towards full certification.

Because of my experience and training, my therapeutic style is integrative and pragmatic, relying heavily on family systems theory. I strive to be authentic, gentle, understanding, direct, creative, and to use humor. I will challenge you with compassion. I will expect of you what I expect of me: to show up and get to the work of pursuing a more fulfilling you.

I embrace the full human experience. I respect religion, spirituality, the non-religious, agnostics, and the variety of beliefs people have to enrich their lives. My bachelor's degree is in German and English, and I have a Master's degree in history of religion. I also began a PhD in religion, but I decided to leave the towers of academia to work in the trenches of human experience. I have lived for several years in another country. Believing that our history and relationships are important to how we live, I decided to get my second Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University to get a better understanding of how relationships can work. I keep studying them.

I'm a lover of the natural world, which to me is deeply therapeutic. On my days off, I want to be out there! Mountain biking, hiking, camping, kayaking, exploring, smelling flowers, getting lost. I also enjoy wood working where hand and mind align in a kind of meditation.

My name is Michael Kurle (pronounced Curlee) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  I am very passionate about helping, advocating, and encouraging people and this has led me to my chosen career of therapy.  I am a recent Oregon transplant, having moved from my native state of Oklahoma as I have always had this pull on me to move to the Pacific Northwest and with everything that happened with COVID we made the decision to sell our home and uproot 40+ years of our life and move.

I practice utilizing several different treatment “modalities” or methods.  My preferred method is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT for short.  CBT is the most widely used treatment modality and has the most research proving how effective it is, especially with things such as anxiety and depression.  I also am trained in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is an amazing therapy tool that is gaining more and more popularity in working with trauma related issues and is being expanded to include phobias, depression, and anxiety.  Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Focused CBT are also modalities I am trained in and experienced with when those interventions best suit what someone needs.

I started my educational journey with a Bachelors degree in Developmental Psychology and proceeded to join the workforce then.  I spent almost a decade working in various aspects in the Oklahoma Department of Human Services as a social worker working with children and families and then followed my path to be a therapist and earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Oklahoma.  I spent nearly two decades working with children and families and in the past couple of years I have turned my focus towards adults and helping adults of all ages.

Age ranges for individual and family services are from High School through the entirety of adulthood.  Seeking help and being open to explore things in therapy requires bravery and a desire to heal, both of which you have if you are reading this.  I would be honored if you would allow me to join you as you travel towards health and happiness.

Hi, my name is Mine't, which is pronounced and associated with many great French artists (Think Claude Monet). My method is like an artist taking a blank canvas to create something only their imagination sees with colors and techniques. I have a passion to help others see their own masterpiece within their life. I develop a safe place to express those things weighing on the heart that might be difficult to acknowledge and identify. I enjoy empowering others to accomplish their own greatness. I have the ability to listen, challenge when needed, and help you develop life skills to handle hard moments in life. I also value a holistic approach; encompassing all aspects of life, finding keys that will enrich your life and the lives of everyone you care about.

I have more than 10 years of experience working with individuals in a mental health counseling environment.  Most of my experience has been working with severely mentally ill individuals. I worked intensely within my bachelor level degree, helping others develop life and coping skills to handle the immense pressures of life.  I have worked with youth and adolescents within my career. I worked hard through my own personal life struggles to obtain a master’s degree through Capella University and accomplished the tasks necessary to become a licensed mental health counselor. I have started working with couples, helping them improve their communication struggles, and be a successful team against the world.

I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues and coping with grief and loss. I have also helped people struggling with depression, motivation, low self-esteem and confidence. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and extremely accepting of all sexualities and gender choices. I also love to learn about and explore new cultures and how our own culture influences or could potentially influence us as an empowerment tool in our lives. I believe that YOU are the expert of your story and that YOU possess all of the strengths that will assist you in overcoming anything that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I believe counseling must be a collaborative effort in which the client and clinician work together to identify needs, concerns, aspirations, and to develop a clear vision for the work they are to do together. My role as a counselor is to help guide individuals through the process of discovering their inherent strengths and barriers which can involve identifying and working through past and/or present conflicts. Collaboration is a key element in my practice as we work together to build a healthy therapeutic relationship where we can experience trust, empathy, and acceptance, and respect for all parties involved.

The counseling process may look different for each client. The approach used and the length of treatment may vary due to individual needs and circumstances. Clients always have the right to stop counseling at any point in treatment and/or choose a different counselor. If the client need is outside of my scope of practice I will inform the client and refer when possible. The counseling process is not easy and there are no guarantees. Initially, it may be disruptive to the client’s emotional experiences and/or relationships, however, this is a normal part of the counseling process.

I graduated from Corban University with a Masters in Family Life Studies in 2014. Shortly upon graduation I began my counseling career with Youth Villages Intercept program, where I continue to provide intensive in home services to children and their families. In 2017, I decided to become a clinical supervisor with Youth Villages Intercept program. Currently (2020), I provide direct care to families and supervise. I am a trauma informed clinician certified in TF-CBT. I am also a collaborative problem solving certified clinician through Think Kids.

I was born in Portland and grew up in the Northwest, graduating from Linfield College in McMinnville, OR before working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in Oregon for 17 years. I returned to graduate school at mid-life and earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University in 2006. I completed my clinical license (LCSW) in Montana, while working at the largest elementary school in the state for 8 years, before returning to Oregon to be closer to my family.

While in Montana I practiced individual and group therapy with children and their families. I also coached and refereed youth and middle school football for 10 years and use motivational interviewing and life coaching techniques in my daily practice.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), which is short term in nature and focuses on providing you tools and new ways to think about your problems, so you can begin to start making needed changes in your life. There are no magic pills or painless solutions to most life issues, but CBT can give you the tools you need to help you make the small and larger changes needed for your life to start improving. It is up to you. 

I help people who realize that some things in their life are not working and need to change. The world has shifted and we need to adapt to rapidly changing events beyond our control; as well as get some daily relief from the ongoing stress, anxiety, poor sleep and depression many people face daily. 

Since February 2020 I have been doing remote Teletherapy with adults and older teens and found it works to help people change their lives. Be prepared to do your homework, I always give you more to do between our sessions, so you can progress at your own pace.

My name is Ira, and I am a counseling associate working towards licensure. I grew up in Eugene Oregon and have been in Portland for the past 13 years. I enjoy reading and learning, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I believe that by exploring our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences we can come to a better understanding of ourselves, and learn new ways to care for ourselves and others.

I've worked several years as a drug and alcohol counselor (CADC II) prior to becoming a mental health counseling associate, and have learned to use a variety of compassionate, person-centered counseling approaches including motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, emotion focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I've used a trauma-informed lens to support clients struggling with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger problems, trauma responses, personality disorders, and environmental stressors.
