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.

In my humble opinion, shopping (yes, I used the word “shopping”) for a therapist is simply overwhelming. Totally on par with the aggravation of using a dating app: countless profiles to filter through, wondering whether to swipe right or left, Guessing at trustworthiness and level of compassion based on a photo and a few carefully crafted paragraphs. And so we swipe. And swipe. And swipe. Hoping to match with “The One”. Perhaps a rather interesting comparison, but it’s true! There’s a lot of good therapists out there and despite the fact that there’s probably a therapist for everyone, not every therapist is for you.

My approach is to be open and honest. I’m a Gen X’er: former latch key kid, Midwestern farm girl raised on hotdish, school pizza, and the Pledge of Allegiance. A biracial (Honduran/Black American) and transracial adoptee raised in a tiny, all-white, conservative community. I was always “the only one in the room” and because of that, I figured out how to assimilate by honing my listening skills and learning how to read the room. After experiencing some major life transitions that are typically experienced at midlife, I started my journey as a therapist after my nest emptied and entered graduate school at 50. Today, I’m a single, divorced mom of two awesome adult humans, an adolescent German Shepherd mix rescue pup and an elderly cat. My happy place is travelling occasionally, reading, listening to music, and relaxing in my hammock. I find joy in the simplicity of life and believe that time waits for no man and being present and in the moment is what’s most important.

To me, being a therapist comes with major responsibilities. To be chosen and trusted by strangers with their innermost thoughts, fears, and experiences is a privilege and honour that I take seriously. I especially enjoy providing support and guidance to women in the middle-to-end seasons of their lives. This stage of life can be especially challenging and lonely due to the mental and physical challenges of menopause and life transitions such as empty nest, the Gray Divorce, caring for ageing parents, questioning sexuality, deaths of spouse or parents, and really just trying to adjust to all the changes that occur during this time of life. Life can seem overwhelmingly unfair and frustrating and cause us to feel invisible. While I feel an affinity for Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness, I draw from several modalities and focus primarily on a positive, solution focused and goal oriented approach.

Navigating this journey called life can be a lonely journey. I invite any adult to reach out if they feel a connection with me in any sort of way and are interested in finding out more. Please know that I hold space especially for those who belong to the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and sex workers communities. I see you, I hear you, and offer sanctuary, understanding, non-judgement, and curiosity in my space. Peace

“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.

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.

Note: I am a Registered Associate and practice under supervision. As a Registered Associate with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, I hold a provisional license and receive regular supervision. While working toward full licensure, I am supervised by Jessica Daas, LMFT

I carry with me many modalities to support your journey, including art therapy and narrative approaches, interpersonal neurobiology, CBT, DBT, self-compassion and mindfulness approaches, that I've developed through my experiences in working with children and adolescents and with adults in multiple settings.

There is no one size-fits-all approach to feeling better. Together we will carve out a path that lines up uniquely to support you, based on individual preferences, values and needs. Through getting to know you in individual sessions, I support you in clarifying your resources, strengths, interests and values, so that those can be drawn upon in navigating your individual path--your path that is based on what matters most to you.

I have lived on the South Coast of in Oregon for six years. I am very fortunate to be working as a mental health counselor for Stronger Oregon as it has been rewarding and fostered my personal and professional growth.

I have training and experience in treating anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, adult spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder and personality disorders.

I graduated in 1986 from the University of Utah where I was first trained in the cognitive behavioral approach. I worked as a paraprofessional at the University of Utah Counseling Center for 18 months, learning and applying CBT for general and test anxiety, depression, assertiveness training, mindfulness and meditation.

I was also the teacher's assistant for the psychology of dreams class for six years. I became a father of four children and went back to graduate school in 1998 and graduated with a Master's Degree in Counseling with Mental Health Specialization from the University of Pheonix in 2001. I have held an LPC since 2003.

I was a clinical director for 14 years in Utah prior to moving to Oregon in 2016. I am very proficient in diagnosing mental health conditions, but I work with a person, not a diagnosis.
