Hi, I'm Shalman, and I help people find in themselves the strength and skills to reclaim their lives. Typically, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based methods in my practice, but I will incorporate aspects of Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Intersectional theory (including gender-specific lenses) and evolutionary psychology if appropriate.
My education includes Addiction Counseling, Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from colleges in Portland. Over the past 19 years, I have received specialized training in medication-assisted addiction treatment, working with parents involved with the child welfare system, behaviorism, criminality, interpersonal neurobiology, ex-prison re-entry, Men's issues, and anxiety disorders.
Perhaps you are skeptical of therapy, for which there are some valid reasons, but the research shows that the biggest factor in someone feeling like therapy is helpful, is the relationship you build with your therapist. Give it a shot, and if we aren't a good match, I'll help you find someone who is.
Outside of my work: I am into music, camping, old movies and cooking.
