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.

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.

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.

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.
