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.

I approach the therapeutic relationship as a client’s journey of self-exploration to increase their self-awareness and understanding. This approach emphasizes the client's resources for becoming self-aware and any barriers to personal growth, places the client at the center of therapy, and allows the client to determine the direction of therapy.

From my experience, clients are much more inclined to own and operate a solution if it is their own. I believe the client has the answers to their questions.

Depending on the client and the situation I use a variety of counseling techniques and theories. I use a comprehensive approach to the therapeutic alliance utilizing techniques from Solution Focused, Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, through motivational interviewing and talk therapy. Essentially, I help the client identify their problem, their resources and motivation for change, and how they interpret and respond to how they feel and act towards situations.

I believe that all individuals have the ability to reach their greatest potential by building a therapeutic relationship built on support, empathy, unconditional positive regard, mutual respect, and acceptance for the client.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Oregon State University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I uphold confidentiality and abide by the ethics, laws, and policies in regard to privacy.

I am Morgan White, a Clinical Social Work Associate blessed to live in the beautiful Willamette Valley. I am a proud first generation Indigenous (Cherokee/Choctaw) female college graduate. I started my career in healthcare in a different realm of insurance and numbers. I enjoyed this, but changes in my home brought about a new calling; and I began a search to understand the effects of trauma on the body. This search led to my completion of both a bachelors and master’s degree in Social Work, with a concentration in military social work.

During my career I have worked with young adults, elderly adults on hospice, and persons battling addiction. I have extensive professional and personal knowledge of Veteran culture and resources. 

My therapy modalities are Attachment-based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), EMDR, Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma Focused CBT. I have a passion for working with mood disorders, thinking disorders, grief, trauma, PTSD, stress, and coping skills. My endeavor is to meet you where you are in your emotional journey through a strengths based, person-in-environment perspective, and collaborate with you on building an evidence-based treatment plan, or “road map” to where you would like your therapy to take you.   

During my undergraduate studies, I was given a wonderfully unique opportunity to work closely with a registered play therapist. During this time, I learned evidence-based interventions centering around children’s unique need to express themselves through family systems therapy, play therapy and sand tray therapy. I am currently working with children ages 6-13. 

Though everything I said before this is important, the key to healing and growth is a strong connection with your provider. Trust, safety, and respect are not items freely given; they are earned through the environment I create for you during our therapy sessions by being trauma-informed, and the relationship cultivated between us by my welcoming nature, my transparency, and the presence of my authentic self.

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.

Hello, welcome to my Stronger Oregon Page! My name is Kristy McPeak (she/her/hers) and I'm a Professional Counselor Associate registered in the state of Oregon. I wanted to share a little bit about my educational background, therapeutic style and clients served.

My college experience began in 2012, when I graduated with a Certificate of Addiction Counseling, and later earned a B.S. in Human Development and Family Sciences with a Minor in Psychology. During that time, my work with adolescents and young adults in a variety of therapeutic, and non-profit settings led me to continue my educational journey, and in 2016 I received a Master’s in Counseling from Oregon State University, with an emphasis in both school and mental health counseling.

I enjoy working with clients across the life-span including children, adolescents, young people and adults. I have experience helping with anxiety, family and life transitions, addiction, teen pregnancy, depression, ADHD, trauma and loss.

My therapeutic style is rooted in compassion, person-centered, and collaborative in nature. I believe we all experience times where we need support, and it takes courage to reach out for help. Each of us has unique needs that can change over time, and counseling is individualized to each person’s situation. You are an important part of the therapeutic process, and the work that we do together. I place a great deal of value in the counseling relationship and believe you have inherent worth.

I strive to create a trauma-informed and supportive environment, where you feel valued and heard throughout the counseling process. I also honor the importance of mind and body wellness, taking a holistic approach. As counseling is individualized to meet the diverse needs of my clients, I use an integrative lens which includes using the following theoretical orientations: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Therapy (MBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Somatic and Art Therapy.

Choosing a therapist is a big decision, and I welcome the opportunity of working with you, your family or child. Please reach out if you have questions, or to schedule your first appointment.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I am very pleased to introduce myself to you.

I believe that healing is a journey and is better when it's not happening in isolation. As your therapist, I commit to walking with you through your process of healing.

Life is a journey with as many challenges as joyous moments; however, sometimes our vision is clouded due to our Mental Health struggles. Allow me to help you through those challenging moments so you can regain the ability and focus to enjoy life once again.

My goal is to work in collaboration with you and your support system to help establish the right plan for you. With the focus on what’s important to you, we will integrate the Mind, Body, Spirituality and Social aspects of your humanity through this journey . You will be the main focus on our work together. My approach is strength based and holistic and I commit to doing this work with you.

My journey in the area of Mental and Emotional health began 7 years ago working as a School Based Therapist for a K-12 school district and served students and their families. Since then, I have been well immersed in working with youth, and their families. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2014 and attained my Clinical Licensure as an LCSW in June 2022. I am more than happy to begin working with you and provide services in Spanish and English.
