I am Mary Dolson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and I am a trained Psychotherapist.

I practice strengths-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on the neuroscience psychological effect between our body, our emotions and our brain.

I studied clinical social work at Simmons University with an emphasis on trauma and neurology.

I spent the past 5 years working on forensic teams supporting individuals recently released from incarceration and working alongside Multnomah County and Federal Probation officers. During this time I worked with a Portland community health center to start a program addressing ADHD treatment as it relates to substance use and traumatic events.

Alongside my forensic experience I am a parent, a former preschool director, a tortoise owner and a front porch bird watcher.

In this work I have always been honored to be the witness to our ability to change, rebuild and thrive. I look forward to meeting you.

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!

“Perhaps the biggest mistake I made in the past was that I believed love was about finding the right person. In reality, love is about becoming the right person. Don’t look for the person you want to spend your life with. Become the person you want to spend your life with.” Neil Strauss

I believe in you, and I’m excited to explore your dreams, interests, skills, strengths, values, successes, and personal uniqueness. I meet you where you’re at right now, and together we can decide what healing looks like.

We may explore mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma work including psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the body, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ACT.

With therapy, you get what you put in. It isn’t easy, and I’m here to show you that you’re safe in our therapeutic relationship and during the time we spend together.

Education and lived experience:

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgia State University and a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University. I’m registered with the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers (BLSW) as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I agree to abide by the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics, and the Oregon BLSW Social Work Laws and Rules. I have expertise in DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), ADHD treatment, and trauma treatment frameworks including somatic interventions. I have a strong equity lens and continue to learn how I can best serve everyone at intersections of race, ethnicity, economic status, spirituality, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and/or disability.

I have experience working alongside adults who face the challenges of Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. Some of my personal lived experiences that inform my approach include direct trauma and family trauma related to mental health challenges, poverty, substance use, abandonment, grief and loss, and emotional and physical abuse.

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.

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.

My name is Jennifer and I live in the Willamette Valley with my family and dogs. I have been working in the field for the last decade and have a strong belief that human connection and empathy for each other can help heal most wounds we have.

When I work with individuals I like to get to know you and what your goals are so that I can help support this vision. This can be accomplished through different therapy modalities; Cognitive-behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence-based modalities. The most important thing in working together is that you are comfortable with the work we are doing and in control of it.

I went to school at Portland State University where I obtained my Bachelors of Social Science in 2013, and my Masters of Social Work in 2017. I have worked across the lifespan with children, adults and older adults. I have worked in correctional settings, hospital settings, and community-based settings in providing therapeutic services. Most importantly I am a person with lived experience and understand the need for someone to listen to you without judgement.
