Hi there, my name is Allison Schrader. I graduated from the Masters in Social Work program from Portland State University and have spent the last 5 years working in elementary and middle schools supporting students with academics, personal discovery, family issues, and everything in between. Outside of that I spent time working at a half way home for families, coordinating and planning a high school aged summer camp for 5 summers, and interning at the Boys and Girls Club.

I have a firm belief that every individual in this world deserves to feel loved, seen, heard, and cared for. Therapy may look different for everyone but at the end of the day. By utilizing the practices of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, and pairing them with a strengths based approach, I am confident that we will find a rhythm in our therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe space for us to collaboratively seek truth, growth, and solutions to empower you to take on each new (or existing) challenge with confidence. Working in schools has equipped me to help you tackle anxiety, depression, self harm and suicidal ideation, substance use and abuse, LGBTQIA+, family dynamics and trauma, school related concerns, and social anxiety.

Outside of my role, I am a native Oregonian who loves to be outside doing most anything: hiking, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, camping, etc. I am also an musician and have been for most of my life - I love live concert events and performing on the weekends.

I look forward to meeting you, supporting you, and encouraging you in this thing we call life!
