As someone who identifies as bicultural, I can empathize with the many barriers associated with finding a provider who can understand various cultural differences that take place in our world. I want to help you reach your goals in a way that works best for you and your learning style. My theoretical framework is person centered and trauma informed, to provide you with the most personalized experience. I like to incorporate multiple therapy perspectives that include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Mindfulness.

I have experience working in crisis services as well as outpatient Telehealth settings. My educational background includes completing a Masters in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University. During my studies, I participated in a year-long clinical internship that focused on supporting people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety using the evidence based practice of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds who are struggling to manage their symptoms of anxiety or depression and are looking for support in taking back control of their lives.

I am committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and respectful to all people regardless of race, color, culture, religion, spiritual practice, sex, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

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.

Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

Therapy is fun. Therapy is creative. Therapy is a two-person job. Therapy is human connection. Therapy is uncomfortable. Therapy is finding your authenticity. Hi! I'm Josie and before I am a therapist, I am human, just like you. When I am not doing therapist things you will catch me being human with my pet pig and cats, or thrifting for goodies. I enjoy the little glimmers in life and hope to inspire you to do the same. It is my goal to work closely with you to structure therapy to be what you need. It is so important to connect with your therapist to build a trusting relationship. This will be our first step together.

I provide gentle challenges to help you see other perspectives. I believe that we don’t grow if we are comfortable. I provide serious validation regarding your feelings and your experiences. I also don’t mind calling you out (therapeutically of course) if needed and wanted. We can also bring out our craft stashes together and do an art therapy project.

As someone who has ADHD, I understand the struggle. With my background and personal experience, we can see what works for you. We are all different! It is my hope that in our sessions you just feel like you’re talking to an honest friend who is supporting you through a non-biased and informed lens.

Remember: therapy is human connection

Marina Garcia, Professional Counselor Associate

I believe to fully understand the impact and origins of mental health concerns we must recognize that you are a complex person with multiple intersectional identities. Instead of isolating and treating symptoms of mental illness, I notice the social, political and economic context in which you live. This allows space to acknowledge how oppressive systems may be impacting your wellbeing with the intent to remove personal shame for a systemic flaw.

I aim to see my clients fully, which includes acknowledging all of their cultural characteristics. My ultimate goal is to support my clients in reducing shame, discomfort or guilt as they lean into their own self. I support my clients in moving through life transitions and identity development. As those negative feelings reduce, I strive to guide you into feeling empowered, assertive and ready to learn alternative ways of coping.

In my practice I will work alongside you to collaborate and create goals that will help you feel better. As each individual has a personalized treatment plan, I use an eclectic approach in which I pull from multiple evidence-based practices to best fit your needs.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychological Science with an emphasis on Clinical Psychology from Pacific University.
