Shirin Yekekar, LCSW

The smartest are those who seek support and assistance from knowledgeable people to bring their life back to the desired balance as soon as possible. I adore your courage and welcome the chance to work together.

Are you longing for greater joy, aliveness, connection, and peace in a world that has seemingly gone mad??? Well, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, life can get frickin’ hard! If you’re tired of pretending and are looking for a therapist with a non-traditional holistic approach who can keep it real with you, then please read on.

Hello and welcome… I’m super happy you’re here!!! I know it can be challenging to find a therapist you trust enough to open up to. Hopefully, by sharing a little about me and my therapeutic approach, you can get a feel for whether or not I may be a good fit to support you. I am an intuitive holistic mental health practitioner and life coach with over 30 years of experience, who utilizes a unique integrative mind, body, and spirit approach that can help empower you to re-balance the energy of your nervous system so that you can start experiencing more calm, happiness, safety, and connection in your life.

I specialize in dealing with trauma and relationship issues of all kinds (from past to present) and am also LGBTQ+ friendly. When our nervous system is out of balance (often due to stress, lack of safety, connection, and trauma), it can cause us to get stuck in the survival states of fight, flight, or freeze, which can lead to chronic depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, interpersonal conflict, or other mental and physical health issues. Drawing upon the fields of energy psychology, somatic (body-based) therapy, and neurobiology, we can locate the energetic kinks in your nervous system at the emotional, mental, and physical level and re-balance them, in order to naturally relieve mental health issues and improve relationships.

My approach is not for everyone and if you are looking for a therapist who will just listen and let you vent, then I’m probably not the right fit for you. While I am compassionate and non-judgmental, I am also very honest and direct, with a let’s keep it real, no BS active approach to providing you with simple and practical tools to empower yourself and your relationships, while maintaining personal accountability for your choices.

On a more personal note, I live in Roseburg with a wonderfully rebellious teenager, five dogs, and two cats. In my limited spare time, I enjoy jet skiing, heading to the beach, reading, or finding my zen somewhere in nature. Like you, I have had to overcome my own share of personal challenges in life and there is typically not much I hear that I have not also dealt with personally. That’s what allows me to keep it real with you and share tools with you that I personally know work. We are all on this crazy life journey together and would love to lend you a guiding hand, if you think we may be a good fit.

When life feels overwhelming, when sharks are circling your vessel with teeth bigger than your engine, you’ll need to upgrade to a bigger boat – that is, a bigger toolbox. You need more resources, more support, more skills. We’ve all been there. The cool thing is, once we build this bigger boat – toolbox – it will serve us the rest of our days. Once you have those skills, nothing can take them away.

In my work, I draw from a number of modalities and practices, but my primary approach is called ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). To me, ACT is about freedom. Freedom from the destructive thoughts that hold you back. Freedom from enslavement to painful emotions and the frantic efforts to make them stop. It’s about not feeling like a prisoner in your own head. Since receiving my Master of Social Work degree in 2007, I’ve spent much of my career working with people living with acute and chronic illness, particularly cancer. My life’s work is helping people adjust to difficult life changes, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and other challenges. I have a special place in my heart for women transitioning to motherhood and the post-partum issues that so often arise, and individuals facing the ongoing challenges of parenting. I love the expressive arts and using poetry therapy (which sounds stuffy and boring but isn’t) to help clients find their own voice. I am open to working with adults of all ages, teens, and families. LGBTQ+ clients welcomed and valued.

My approach is grounded in compassion. It is about finding your own strengths and bolstering them with new skills to spark real and lasting change. I believe in kindness, humor, and connection, and I believe there is hidden treasure in everyone. Struggle is part of life, but struggle shouldn’t drive the bus, leaving us flailing around with no lap belt and gum stuck to our seats. You deserve to be the driver of your life, and you can build a boat stronger than the sharks. If you’re here, you’ve already started!

I believe in the potential of all people regardless of their history, past or upbringing. Helping clients to build self-awareness around their flaws and strengths is a journey that is imperative to personal growth and self-love. Entering therapy takes courage and following through can be hard work. My role is to help my clients reap the rewards to this work in all aspects of their lives by allowing therapeutic work to be something that carries a high return. I am truly honored to be on that journey with my clients in order to witness individuals truly blossom and step into a successful life of their own making.

I offer strengths based counseling services as well as CBT, trauma work and DBT in areas of addiction, anxiety, depression, anger and ADHD.

The real work can only begin in an environment that is safe, compassionate and understanding. I am aware of that component fully and strive to build an authentic alliance with my clients.

If you are unsure about counseling or how it can benefit you, you are not alone.

Asking for help can be a difficult step for many of us especially in a culture that conditions us to believe that seeking help equates to weakness. I whole-heartedly believe that our pain is here to show something that we need to see in order to grow. I believe our stories, when examined, exist to help us evolve, to help us understand ourselves and to teach us how to be more kind and compassionate to ourselves and others. I am here to hear, validate, reflect and create space for my clients to tell their story and to become the narrator that they were always meant to be.

My philosophy and approach for individual therapy and family therapy is based in multiple theories. I have utilized strategies that focus on a strong emphasis of building resilience and developing positive coping skills through cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems.

I employ an approach that in order to understand the presenting issues for services there is a need to understand the whole system.

I also practice and am an informed clinician in PMTO (Parent Management Training of Oregon) and IFS (Internal Family Systems).

I have training in  many different modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Play Therapy among others. However I think the most important part of growth is the relationship that you form with your therapist. Building relationships based in trust, unconditional positive regard, assuming positive intent, and containing empathy translates to more positive relationships outside of the therapist's office. 

I received my bachelors degree from Portland State University in Science. Later in life, I discovered my passion for helping people, and began to understand my identity as a black man, who grew up fishing and hunting in rural Oregon, could offer unique perspectives to other’s experiences. That inspired me to return to Portland State University in which I received my Masters of Social Work degree. Since completing my degree in 2019, I have been working with elementary and middle school students, providing therapy in school settings. I have also worked in County Mental Health supporting Adults coping with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and helping to build healthier relationships.

Although I don't identify as LGBTQ+, I have extensive training and experience working with folks in the community and find that often an outside perspective in a safe place can help.

I am looking forward to getting to know you, and what brings you to seek support, which can be a scary first step. I seek your partnership in this healing journey, and look forward to our work together.

Sebastian Santos, MTFA

I work from a pragmatic, yet open approach to therapy that considers the experiences and narratives one has in relation to their social location, beliefs, community, relationships, culture, and spirituality. This allows me to attune and empathically understand what patients are bringing into sessions and how I may aid in bringing clarity to the issues at hand and what may be done for therapeutic progress to occur.

I believe therapy to be a collaborative and flexible process where therapist and clients work together to determine how sessions will proceed as therapy progresses. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark College. Major course work included applied child and adolescent development, family development, couples therapy, group counseling, and applying systemic perspectives towards therapeutic practice. During my program's yearlong practicum, I was able to work with a wide range of populations due to my externship placement in a primary health care setting. I also worked a year as an ABA technician through a clinic specializing treatment with children with autism.

I primarily use behavioral based modalities such as CBT or DBT with my clients. I also use structural family therapy when working with families, as well as using play therapy or art supplies to allow clients to be able to converse or express themselves more comfortably.

Life is like a journey through the woods. It’s easy to lose track of where you wanted to go or to get delayed by the many obstacles that appear in your path. But good support can help you make your journey through life more successful (however you define success).  You may feel completely lost and alone in the woods, want to develop a clearer vision for your future destination, be dealing with obstacles, or simply want some extra support as you prepare to take on the next leg of your journey. Wherever you are, I am here to help you find solutions and take the next steps forward.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in addressing stress/anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, career related stress, or just coaching you on toward your best life. When in-person sessions become available, I am also able to offer aromatherapy for those who want to experience the power of essential oils to help your brain and body make positive shifts.

Prior to completing my degree in counseling from Western Seminary in 2017, I spent 15 years working in ministry using horses to help individuals and families heal and grow. I spent many years leading teams, training staff, and coaching clients to success. And in my experience, people are never one sided. We are a complex blend of heart, body, mind, and spirit. Each part interacting and impacting the others both within ourselves and with the people and environment around us. So as a counselor I want to see you go beyond surviving and to learn to THRIVE in all areas.
