My experience has always been with the neurodivergent population, specifically the women like myself that were too high masking to be seen, yet always felt different. If you are silently struggling to live up to your potential or feeling like you don't know how to be your authentic self, I get it. I don't take the expert role, rather help you uncover your happiest self through acceptance and accommodation. Two important challenges neurodivergent women struggle with.

l take an eclectic approach to therapy by combining person centered therapy, CBT, DBT informed, IFS informed and somatic experiencing to create a mind body connection so many of us neurocomplex individuals struggle with. While ultimately those that I work with want to become authentic and experience emotional freedom, often complex trauma comes along for the ride. The combination of therapy tools simultaneously address these issues as well.

I completed my undergrad with University of Phoenix and my Master in Christian Counseling at Houston Baptist University in Houston, TX in 2020. While I do have the niche ability to practice Christian counseling, my special interest is in deconstructing from religious trauma.

In addition to viewing life and therapy through an ADHD and ASD lens, I became certified in 2024 to assess and evaluate these conditions. I currently only evaluate adults and can accommodate a therapeutic model and traditional model. Therapeutic assessment involves 6-8 sessions and is relationship based for those looking for personal answers and a less intense assessment experience than traditional testing. Traditional evaluation involves extended appointments over 3-4 days and is best for those looking for a hard and fast diagnosis to take to other medical providers, schools, work, etc.

Whatever aspect of neurodiversity you are dealing with, you are not alone and you do not have to stay stuck there. Together we will create the strategies that help you become your authentic self and create a life you love.

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.

“When you least expect it, Nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spot…Right now you may not want to feel anything. Perhaps you never wished to feel anything…But feel something you obviously did. …If there is pain, nurse it. And if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out. Don’t be brutal with it. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster…But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything ― what a waste!” - André Aciman

Do you feel disconnected & detached? Are you struggling to find peace & security with yourself or in your relationships? Our minds & bodies are interdependent- so reliant on one another that they often try to protect themselves by splitting apart or shutting down. Pain, loss, & stress are unavoidable & it can be so tempting to numb ourselves to try to minimize their impact. Inevitably, we numb the good along with the bad.

As a Master in Social Work and licensed clinician I’ve worked with clients of all ages and circumstances, but have dedicated much of my personal study over the years to sex and relationship dynamics. In my private practice, I specialized in working with clients who are in relationship transitions. Some may be seeking conscious uncoupling, navigating painful breakups, identifying and understanding patterns in romantic or platonic relationships, shifting from monogamy into polyamory or other partnership structures, or working to better understand their own bodies when it comes to sex, sexuality, and gender experiences alone and with peers or partners.

Whether you have a specific goal in mind, need someone to offer blanket support, or seek to learn and practice new skills, I can incorporate interventions from a variety of modalities, including compassion-focused therapy, narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, art therapy, EFT-tapping, attachment-based therapy, Gestalt, eclectic therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness & guided meditation. We all need something different to tap into our unique healing and growth. Vulnerability is uncomfortable at best but so very necessary, & I would be honored to accompany you on a journey to find your way to face these challenges with confidence, strength, grace, & resilience.

I am happy you’re here, & I can’t wait to meet you!

My practice is person-centered, which means it is anti-capitalist and liberationist: for fat bodies, for LGBTQIA+ bodies, for disabled bodies, and for black and brown bodies first and foremost.

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.

My name is Kathryn Hayes. Most know me as Katie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and Indiana. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Kentucky University.  

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existentialism and Mindfulness Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders, obsessive compulsive behaviors, and grief. I am a trauma informed clinician certified in TF-CBT.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relaxed. Together, we will look at the blocks of fear, guilt, anger, hurt and learn to see past them to who you really are. Healing lies within our relationships when we choose to give up judgment and look upon ourselves and others with kindness and compassion.

Born and raised in Oregon, "a coastie," I made my way inland for college, graduating first from Chemeketa, then a short stint at WOU before graduating from Oregon State with a couple of BA degrees. After myriad jobs around the Salem area, I started on my Master's degree at Portland State.

My clinical focus revolves primarily around DBT, Narrative therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, with some dabbling in other modalities such as Terror Management Theory. My clinical experience comes from Chemawa Indian School, Salem Hospital, Willamette Valley Hospice and here, at Stronger Oregon. I primarily do individual therapy and occasionally couples therapy, too.

My drive is to understand you as best as possible, and to find root cause issues for what troubles you. My hope is that we will both learn from the experience and be better for it.
