Jeanie Curphey, LPC

I believe that we all have a journey that has led us where we are, with individual challenges and opportunities. Events from the past can leave lasting impacts that lead to feeling disconnected from self or others and difficulties with living authentically. I am passionate about listening to your story to work through challenges and assist you with taking control of this journey in order to feel whole and complete.

I started my career as a teacher in at risk rural county schools in Virginia. I eventually became a teacher for Outward Bound, a wilderness therapy alternative school for adjudicated males age 14 to 17 yo. It was this experience that inspired me to pursue a career in wilderness therapy, eventually earning her Master's in Clinical Mental Health counseling at Lamar University.

My background and past clinical experience includes working in wilderness therapy, residential programs and Child Advocacy Centers in Utah, North Carolina and Oregon with at risk youth. I have worked with diverse populations, utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions and creative methods to meet the needs of those with whom I have worked. Through use of my gifts, knowledge, and experience, I seek to empower and motivate you to overcome issues, explore and implement healthy choices, and ultimately, to live your best life.

I am trained in EMDR, an intervention for processing and deactivating trauma, and in Neuroaffective Relational Therapy. I use a variety of other modalities, including CBT, ACT, body-centered psychotherapy, and Polyvagal therapy.

I have a passion for supporting individuals on their journey of healing. I utilize sensorimotor, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help unlock the trapped memories that are leading to distress in an individual’s life to help them live in the present moment.

I see my role as helping you hear yourself, rediscover your truths, and expand your choices on your path to greater fulfillment and serenity.

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 am not an expert on your life. You are. I am an expert at the process of helping you assess and clarify your values, define your purpose, build on your strengths, and develop your areas of potential growth. For nearly twenty years, I have worked with individuals, families and couples to successfully navigate life transitions, overcome challenges, and create meaningful and healthy relationships.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions such as career changes, education level changes, relationship transitions, etc. My ten years of counseling experience in K-12 schools and six years as a college counselor have especially prepared me to work with adolescents who struggle with social, personal and school challenges. I am also uniquely qualified to work with the parents/guardians and families of adolescents and young adults.

Therapists typically adhere to one or more theories that provides them with a framework of how to understand and improve people's lives. Thus, the therapeutic experience will be different from one therapist to another depending on their theoretical orientation. It can be important to know a therapist's theoretical approach so that you can make informed choices about choosing the best therapist for you. 

As a solution-focused and cognitive emotional behavioral therapist (CEBT), I provide a safe and healthy space to better understand your life circumstances. My role is to help you identify and clarify the changes you would like to see. Together we will assess your strengths and assets to create pathways of growth. These pathways are specific, measurable, achievable and timely (SMART). While the past can be important in creating positive change, as a solution-focused therapist, I believe that real and long-term positive changes can come from examining and understanding your present circumstances. As a CEBT therapist, we will identify systems of dysfunctional thoughts, emotions and behaviors that sustain your unhappiness and may keep you "stuck". Then, we work together to replace these systems with healthy, positive and functional systems of living. While therapy is often serious and requires work, my clients would tell you that it can also be fun.

Finally, when searching for the right therapist, it is important to know their education and training. Specifically, my training includes a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Counseling and Educational Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional School Counselor in Oregon.  Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Nationally Certified School Counselor (NCSC).  Those are a lot of acronyms and what matters most is that I am skilled counselor who cares about people living happy and healthy lives. If you've read this far and feel like me and my approach might be a good "fit", please feel free to reach out and set up a time for us to meet.
